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. Technical Specs:

Customer Reviews
It's freaking fun!
I bought this for my Mom for Mother's day, but I tested it out first and I know she'd going to love it. She already has a Wii and she loves that. I bought two games and the sound quality is great, the picture is amazing. Just like the Wii, certain games will not allow you to play anymore, which is cool. Nintendo is doing a bang up job with their game stations. I'm getting one for myself and one for my Dad, he needs the Brain Age games.
Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS is the best portable gaming system thus far. Plays both Nintendo DS games as well as the older Nintendo Game Boy Advance games. The touch screen is what makes this a great. Also Nintendo has a large selection of games. Thats always a plus.
So pretty!
I love this ... I really wanted a pink one but this was the next best thing. Its look is so classy and it doesn't look like a DS. When not in my game carrying case I keep it in my purse. It catches a lot of attention.
I do not have any technical issues with it at all.
The screen is bright and not dim.
Great game!
