How the DS Lite Came to Be...

When the orignal Nintendo DS launched in 2004 it was met with more than a little skepticism. This was mainly due to the unorthodox features of the little handheld; it featured two screens, one of them being a touch screen. The system turned out to be a... Read full review »

Pros decent selection of games, low price, wifi multiplayer, no need for lots of accessories

Cons lack of multiplayer games, slow hardware, some genres not well represented

Recommended it? Yes

I swear. I did own an original Nintendo DS. Despite its innovation and the games that were on the way, I had to give it up. I had won it in a contest, but was out of work at the time. I really needed the money and couldn't afford to start putting in money for games. Since I became reemployed, the... Read full review »

Say Yes to DS(i)

Pros New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.

Cons Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.

Recommended it? Yes

As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart.

I absolutely love my new DSi. We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi. It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc. Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet... Read full review »
