Nintendo DS Lite Console Review

Nintendo has released an upgrade to the DS… the DS Lite. Nothing has changed except the size. Thankfully, the only thing that was not reduced was the size of the screen. In addition to what’s listed, the button layout has been changed slightly, and the D-Pad is made slightly smaller. Thanks to the size reduction, the Lite is 20% lighter than the previous model. The screen has also been made much brighter, which is one of the primary benefits over the original.

This is a well put together system. The screen is just incredible. While playing games, never have I thought, "Wow, this is horrible looking". In my case, I’ve been playing New Super Mario Brothers, and the graphics are top notch. Overall, I’ve been extremely pleased with the system. In the end, this doesn’t have to only be a portable system. It can be enjoyed while sitting back on the couch. It’s a great system for pulling out when you need a little break. If you’ve owned the original for a while, you will not regret an upgrade.
