Graphics performance
User interface (post iPhone)
Display size and shape
The DS is getting on a bit in console terms
So its graphical abilities are a little off the pace - while PSP graphics are on a par with the PlayStation 2’s
The DS’s are more in line with the Nintendo 64. It’s also almost totally lackin...
Not as versatile or powerful as PSP
Not powerful or high-resolution. Childish images.
Third-party support hasnt matched originality and ingenuity of Nintendos games
Darker models just as susceptible to scratches and smudges as the Sony PSP and the iPod
Multimedia potential remains exclusive to Japan
Still not as powerful or multimedia focused as the PSP
Abstract: Add To Your Site: Alright, time to show off Nintendo’s latest baby. In this Byte we put the Nintendo DS Lite up against the original Nintendo DS to look at the similarities and differences between the two models. If you have been debating the upgrad...
Abstract: The case for the Nintendo DS LiteYesterday was hot and humid for 11am. Waiting for my pre-ordered Nintendo DS Lite was a nightmare, as I and other DS hopefuls stood in a line long enough to curve around the building. Too many sweaty, stinky, pimple-fac...
Lightweight and small
Bright screen
Great viewing angle from all sides
Absolutely none
When I first opened the DS Lite, it sort of reminded me of the old Game & Watch from Nintendo. It features the same flip open dual-screen configuration, except the G&W only played one game and wasnt in color. The controls are not over done lik...

We wont look a gift horse in the mouth, though. Despite a few interface quirks and the fact the machines external casing is prone to taking a beating, not to mention attracting dirt and gunk, the DS Lite does what it promises. Now, you can not only e...
Bright screens. Lighter and slimmer than original DS.
Inserted Game Boy Advance cartridges stick out at the top slightly.
The new, improved Nintendo DS Lite is worth the cost of the upgrade for fans of the original DS portable gaming device. It retains all the qualities that made the DS so much fun, and the bright new screens make a significant difference in the look of t...
Abstract: Ive bought so many Game Boy products in my life that I wish I could subscribe to a service instead of handing Nintendo my hard-earned cash every few months. The amount of product Nintendo has released in its portable gaming line over the years is amaz...
This is exactly what the original DS should have been – if Nintendo had produced a machine like this a year and a half ago, Sony would have had a much tougher time convincing buyers to cough up £180. The DS Lite looks stunning, feels great in the hand and...

The Nintendo DS Lite is slimmer and much sleeker that the original DS. The device employs innovative dual-screen and microphone-enabled gameplay as well as Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities, allowing for a growing list of original and fun games that you c...
Playing online games via Wi-Fi can be a hassle. The darker models are just as susceptible to scratches and smudges as the Sony PSP and the iPod, and its multimedia potential remains exclusive to Japan.
With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS.
Much, much better looking than the original DS, Smaller and more stylish, Larger stylus, Screen size still the same, Bright screens, Good collection of games that take advantage of the DS Lites unique capabilities
GBA cartridges stick out far too much, Only available in one colour, No multimedia capabilities
Great style, great games and great functionality make the DS Lite a winner. Its also pretty good value. ...
