Nintendo DS Console

Pros: touch screen, dual screens, dual processors, backwards compatibility for GBA
Cons: no backwards compatibility w/older Gameboy titles, lack of certainty, volume slider

This is the year for the next generation of handheld gaming systems. Nintendo's Gameboy line has had a stranglehold on this market since it launched its first Gameboy system. I have always been a fan of the Gameboy because it's sturdy (which is great for ...

Pros: With its dual screens and built in features it's a very unique system.
Cons: The controls are not the most user friendly. Nintendo64 remakes are uninspired.

NINTENDO DS (launch: November 16, 2004) The Nintendo Dual Screen (or DS) was the all the rage in busy 2004 holiday season. This 200 dollar (that's Canadian) new age device not only looks pretty sleek and well designed here but what really makes ...

Pros: game library, display, comfortable to hold, durability
Cons: none really

When I first heard about the Nintendo DS I was excited. I was playing the Gameboy Advanced SP at the time. It sounded so cool that the Nintendo DS would have duel screens instead of one like the SP. I couldn't wait until it came out and I hoped I would ...

Pros: Fun, dual screens, portable
Cons: Newer "Lite" version available

I grew up with my brother and the two of us would play regular "board" games. Remember those? I cried many tears over my Battleship loses. Eventually, we started playing video games (Atari, Nintendo, Playstation) ... and so began my fascination with ...

Pros: Innovative, Great Game Library, Wireless MultiPlayer
Cons: Battery Life Could Be Better, Pricey

When the Nintendo DS was released in Nov 2004 I have to admit I was confused. What would I do with two screens when I could barely handle one screen? I passed on it, writing it off as a Nintendo miscue that would be dead in a year, ala the Virtual Boy. ...

Pros: Everything!! Graphics, sound, quality, looks, nice size screens, inovative idea!
Cons: A little expensive.

After one too many night shifts with little or nothing to do, I decided it would be well worth my money to invest in something to help pass the time. My oldest brother had the original Game Boy (it was almost the size of a dictionary!). Since then ...

Pros: Wi-Fi Connection, tons of games for everyone, no batteries to be used ever!
Cons: Dust can collect in the corner of the screens making cleaning hard but not impossible.

Nintendo DS is one of the best gaming experiences ever! I have the PSP and the Nintendo DS, I have to say I play the Nintendo DS a lot more! It is just a whole different way to play games! It is so much fun, and I really don't know what I would do ...

Pros: Dual Screens, Plays DS & GBA Games, PictoChat, Great WiFi Capabilities
Cons: A Little Lacking in Graphics

Nintendo has been well known for video games in the past decade, and the Nintendo DS only increased their reputation. This system is excellent. It has dual screens (touch screen on bottom and plain old screen on top), good feel, plenty of games, and good ...

Pros: Games, Life, Durability, Ease of Use
Cons: Stylus issues....

My son asked for this game system for Christmas this year. He had a Game Boy Advance, but was definitely looking for more games and better graphics. He did very well with the Game Boy, which he got when he was 4, so we decided to spend the money to buy ...

Pros: great games, fun and easy to play, age friendly
Cons: small buttons, but this wont affect game play too much

Well Nintendo released the highly anticipated Nintendo DS back in November of 2004. Well I got my hands on one on the 18th of November and when I opened it, well it was AWESOME. I truly was waiting for a new handheld for about 4 years. The Game Boy ...

Pros: easy to work with controllers, very habit forming
Cons: like to find a box that would hold games in slots to carry them places

When I bought this DS console it was a impulse buy.the longer I have it the more I play. it has helped me in my hand and eye cordanation. there is so mini games you can play on it. i thought it was just for kids,i'm 49 and love the system. the pinball ...

Pros: lots of features, lots of games, internet multiplayer, cheap, incredible battery life
Cons: Most games are childish/boring, lackluster graphics,hard to develop for, bulky, kind of ugly

The DS is a groundbreakng poratable. Nobody could have predicted the dual screen layout. At first, it seems gimmicky, but it actually works very well. The touch screen opens up millions more possibilities for games. It allows you to really get into ...

Pros: Great game play experience when used with games that utilize the touch screen
Cons: Bigger than most previous Game Boys and the newer DS Lite

This is a great improvement from the Game Boy Advance series of systems, although it seems kind of bulky, especially in comparison to the new DS Lites. It is nice that it has backlight screens, not to mention it has two screens for the games, which adds ...

Pros: Play DS and Gameboy Advance games all on one player!!!
Cons: Small screen can be hard to see.
Touch option is not always the best option.

The Nintendo DS brings you the thrill to play classic Nintendo games without the classic Nintendo. You can play both DS and Gameboy Advance games from the same little player, giving you a much larger variety to choose from.Now you can ...

Pros: -dual screens -rechargeable battery -backlight
Cons: -small buttons

Nintendo DS original. I got this as a gift when it was brand new. I was very impressed with the graphics for a portable console. It looked very clean and colorful. The backlit screen was very nice. The touch screen was a cool feature, but it scared ...
