Nintendo DS Lite

The DS Lite is the latest handheld console from Nintendo. It was released shortly after the original DS with some hardware tweaks to improve the gaming experience.

From Gamespot.com:

The Nintendo DS Lite plays the exact same DS and GBA games as the current Nintendo DS, but it features new hardware tweaks designed to improve the gaming experience as well as system usability. The DS Lite uses new LCD screen technology to offer four different brightness levels. At maximum brightness, the Lite will be five times as bright as the current DS. Nintendo has also slimmed the unit down to the point where it can almost be considered pocket-sized. It's thinner by a third and weighs 20 percent less than the original. New power features include longer battery life and a quicker charge time.



From Nintendo.com:

Nintendo DS Lite revolutionizes the way games are played with ultra-bright dual screens and touch-screen technology. Connect wirelessly to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and put your skills to the test against players across the room or across the world.

With impressive 3D rendered graphics and ultra-bright screens, Nintendo DS Lite delivers cutting-edge portable games for fans of any genre. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.


System

With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.


Dual Screens

Two incredibly bright LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.


Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

Ready to take on the world? Now, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can connect wirelessly, chat and play with Nintendo DS owners across the globe. All you need to play is a Nintendo DS and a Wi-Fi-ready game. There are no subscription fees -- the service is free!


Touch Screen Technology

The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities.

You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations.

The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.


Microphone Port

A built-in microphone port means that with Nintendo DS, you only need to tell your games what to do.

The Nintendo DS microphone gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games.


Wireless Network

With Nintendo DS Lite, you can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.

Note: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.

Rich Stereo Sound

Nintendo DS Lite sound capabilities allow for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. Stereo speakers allow for virtual surround sound and a plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.


Backward Compatibility

Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.
