Nintendo DS Lite:

The Nintendo DS Lite offers all of the unique features of the Nintendo DS but also includes a variety of distinctive changes which truly sets it apart from other handheld consoles. Nintendo DS Lite retains the advanced touch screen technology, allowing players to control software with a stylus or even their finger, as well as dual screens, voice recognitionand Wi-Fi capabilities of the Nintendo DS but is now both smaller and lighter. Nintendo DS Lite is a lighter and brighter version of the highly successful Nintendo DS.

Dual Screens open up new possibilities - use the touch screen as an inventory reference for role-playing games, to view maps for your favourite strategy game, or see racing action from two perspectives at once. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with stylus or fingertip.

Brain Training:

Give your gray matter the workout that it needs to stay sharp, focused and young. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is inspired by a book that was written by Professor Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neurologist. His theories revolve around keeping brains young by performing mental activities quickly. When users first start a new game, they will be given a Brain Age Check that determines the age of their brains. Each day, they can compete for the high score in any activities that they have unlocked. They also can check the age of their brains once per day. The more training they do, the more activities they will unlock. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is designed to be played in small chunks over a long period of time and can hold data from a year of activity. Features: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a series of mini-games designed to give brains a workout.

Activities include performing simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house, drawing pictures on the touch screen and reading classic literature out loud. When users start a new game, they will take a series of tests and get a score that shows how old their brains are. This number is called the "Brain Age." As they use the software over a series weeks and months, their mental acuity will improve and the Brain Age will drop, indicating a younger, healthier brain. Progress is charted in graph form. Users can keep up to four save files on one game card. Sharing a game allows them to compare their results with those of family and friends. Users also can send a demo version of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day to friends or compete with up to 16 players in a battle to see who can solve math problems the fastest.

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

It's never too late!
I'm 65 and retired and as I'm wheelchair-bound due to MND I thought that I would ask for the Nintendo DS Lite and a couple of games for my recent birthday. There are only so many books you can read during one day and I felt my brain was turning to mush without the stimulus of my job and the company of a great set of colleagues. I have to say that I've been converted to this gadget and am now having to limit myself to no more than an hour or two a day - otherwise I'd never come off the thing! I was a bit disconcerted to be told that I had a brain age of 80 - but I'm working on it! Good fun, though I'm not sure if my brain is actually trainable!
