Each hardware manufacturer has multiple viable offerings derived either directly, or evolving from the respective DS and PlayStation Portable product lines. All of these devices are impressive multifunctional devices, with designs meant to encourage gameplay on the go, integration with the Internet, backwards compatibility to previous games, and so on, but each goes about this in different ways. Taking a few minutes to examine the main features, and getting more familiar with available options, accessories and possible limitations of each handheld is the optimal way to determine which is the best choice for a player.

  • Still Good In 2015!
Color: Cobalt/Black
I was raised without video games in my house, and my parents told me that if I wanted video games, I would have to buy them. That being said, it was 2012 and I was 16 before I got my first Gameboy (SP), and two years later, I decided to upgrade to a DS Lite. I love it! It is a vast improvement over the GBA, which is a sentence I never thought i would say, as I love my GBA. Right now, I only have one game on it (LEGO Harry Potter 1-4 (GREAT GAME)) but it's easy to see even from one day of playing it that it is superior to GBA. 3D games that have perspectives that change as you move around make for more realistic gameplay, and the graphics are sharper and smoother. I know that it being 2015, with the recent release of the 2DS, that the DS Lite is probably outdated, but I'd still recommend this system to anyone who is looking for a cheaper system that is still really good. Pros: -Adjustable screen brightness! I know this sounds lame, but it's a great feature, and it can help save battery, which leads me to: -Long battery life- I believe it is advertised at 19 hours, which is great. I recieved my DS from a used seller, and it came with a full battery, and I still havent recharged. By comparison, I've had to charge my iPod Touch 3 times in the last 48 hours. -Better, more complex games. With better computer power, comes the ability to produce better, more complex games. -Touch Screen ('nuff said) -Sleep setting when you close the lid- makes it easier to pause a game without losing battery Cons: -Stylus: it's not inherently bad, it's just easy to lose. I love the idea, but I live in constant fear of losing it. Overall, I think this is a great little system, and I will probably get rid of my GBA in favor of this, as the DS can play GBA games. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Geart Value
Color: Cobalt/Black
The Nintendo DS. What more could one say? I'm going to try and rate this as objectively as possible. First off, this is by no means an adult gaming device. Anyone who is upset because it does not have TV out HD capabilities is playing with the wrong toy. You have to look at this product as it were geared towards children and the younger crowd. Many adults who purchase the DS feel that they have been ripped off. Well that's just the thing. Like I said, one has to see this as a youth oriented device. Anyways, now that we've cleared that up let talk about the DS itself. Graphics Game play Price Feature set. Graphics: Not great and it definitely would not be able to compete with the PSP, but If I remember correctly Edge magazine's top 100 games off all time features more games from the 2D era than anything else. Actually, out of the top ten 4 were 2 dimensional and the number 3 and 1 spot went to Mario 64 and Ocarina of time. Both these games were some of the first in the 3D world. So looking at it from that perspective, I'd say that graphics are outweighed by game play presentation and storyline. Plus new Super Mario bros is just plain goodness in a cartridge. Gameplay: Lets talk about Mario 64... The original Mario 64 relied heavily on the N64's analog joystick, so Mario 64 DS gives you a few different control options that attempt to emulate the control in different ways. By default, the game is configured to let you play without using the system's touch screen. The D pad is used for movement, and the buttons are used for jumping, ducking, attacking, and running. While you can also use the touch screen for running, the other two control modes are somewhat better suited for use with the touch screen, letting you shuffle the buttons around a bit to give you more control over your character. I think the methods incorporated for movement in this game are superb and could not have been mapped much better. This seems to go for all games. Most games that require the use of the touchpad and stylist are focus more on tactical elements rather than speed, which results in a more enjoyable game experience if you're not too quick with the stick. One issue I did encounter was after the touch screen got a bit scratched up it was not as sensitive. Plus those little stylists are so easy to loose. Price: Can't beat it. Can be found for under 100 dollars if you shop around. You're not going to find a cheaper way to entertain yourself on the go. The games are not too expensive either. Although, 30 bucks is pretty steep for anyone under 12. Feature set: I'd say for something as simple as a "Gameboy" it has a lot to offer. It has Wifi which can be a lot of fun with friends. Try playing Mario kart with 7 other people on their DS's and you'll know what I mean. Also the chat feature is neat if you have friends that have DS's as well. And a big bonus is the backwards compatibility with GBA games. There is a little cartridge spot to put old games in. Some of my favorite Mario games are still playable on the go cause of this. Other than that there are not a lot of features. But I wouldn't expect it to. Like I said before, If you're looking for a portable media center this is not it. The DS is a fun handheld (strictly related to gaming) that can keep you entertained for hours on end. ... show more

  • Working Crimson/Black DS Lite
Color: Crimson/Black
The first thing that I will say is that I appreciate the price, considering the condition of it, as well as the time of which production them was discontinued. Next, the DS is working just as it would, as if it was bought from a store over a decade ago. Starting it up doesn't bring up any issues, nor does shutting it off create any either. The speakers work perfectly on max and low volume. The GBA slot works well without any problems as well. The DS slot works great too. I have no problem opening and closing the DS when the game is still on. The hinge works good as well. No problems on the upper or lower screen. The film that covers the screens is still on there, so it is still in perfect condition. The touchscreen function is also good. The DS case itself looks pretty clean and new. The only "use" I see is some small scratches on the top part of the DS case, but that won't deter me from playing it. In summary, the product is in excellent condition considering all of the mentioned details above. Luckily the seller had kept it in excellent condition so I have no qualms here. ... show more
