In a nutshell:
It may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but there’s no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. That’s all changed now with this sleek and sexy update.

The lowdown:
When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant – with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but it’s smaller, sleeker and lighter – with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console. The DS Lite is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink.

Most exciting feature:
The DS Lite now has four brightness settings – the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That'll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses.

Since you ask:
The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight.

The bottom line:
The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo’s best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent

Great fun
These two together are great fun. Ok so when you have to talk out aloud in parts of the training i have to say i found myself laughing. And make sure you write the number clearly too. All in all much better than the PSP i sold to buy this one.

Ive got a Nintendo DS lite at last
I have wanted a DS lite for two years now and this turquoise one is cool. I love the brain challenges and I have another game too. I bought the luxury accessory pack too. Its great - not bad for a Grandma keeping up with the times. I would definitely recommend this DS lite an a bit of brain training. Great fun

Nintendo DS Lite Turquoise
My daughter has a Nintendo, however it was only when a friend of mine got one for Xmas from her daughter (along with Brain Training) and was so enthusiastic about it she said I should have a go, so I did. Well that was it, I was hooked. So much so I decided to get myself an Nintendo, but didn't know which colour. I chose the turquoise and I'm quite delighted with the colour. As is the case in my house, anything we want to buy we always, always check out Amazon first, because of the excellent service, after service, delivery and value for money. I thought Nintendo's were for children, how wrong was I. I'm in my 40s and it's sheer will power that stops me bringing mine into work to play with it at lunch time.
