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

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

    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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Cons: Most games are childish/boring, lackluster graphics,hard to develop for, bulky, kind of ugly

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 24, 2007
    Pros: Fun, dual screens, portable
    Cons: Newer "Lite" version available

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • You can hardly consider this a "Game Boy"

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Screen size, wide selection of games, easily portable
    Cons: Easily can break

    Summary: In my opinion this is a good product. I have a Nintendo DS myself so I would know. The thing I like about this system the most is the variety of games. They have almost every single game you can imagine for a much lower price. While I don't use mine as

    Pros: Portable . Many choices for games
    Cons: Sesitive . Fragile .

    Summary: I would recommend purchasing the DS Lite over the DSi because it is cheaper and the new things in the DSi are not worth the premium price. Nintendo's 3rd iteration of the Nintendo DS is definitely a good product, however it is expensive and

    Pros: Cameras, music player, SD slot, new menu similar to wii's, downloadable web content.
    Cons: Low quality cameras and microphone, low volume on speakers, no internal hardrive.

    Summary: The DSi continues with it's normal design. It maintains the same D-pad and A,B,X,Y buttons. The L and R buttons are also present and can also be used as a shortcut to access the DSi cameras. The DSi now utilzes a power button as opposed to the slide pad

    Pros: Plays DS games, backlitscreens, reasonably priced.
    Cons: No GBA slot.  What the hell was Nintendo thinking?!? 

    Summary: Nintendo decided to remove a very important piece of functionality -- the GBA game slot -- to make room for some silly stupid functionality (camera and photo-manipulation features) that would only appeal to Japanese schoolgirls. Stock up on DS Lites

    Cons: Screen is not as big as GBA. Eye Strain and Fatigue.

    Pros: Good graphics, Great games
