Metallic Pink is back! The best-selling video game system in the world grabs attention with a splash of color and looks good whether it’s toted in your school backpack, pulled from your purse, or riding with you on a family trip. Metallic Rose made its debut as a limited-edition bundle and now it's back again to round-out the Nintendo DS Lite palette of available colors. It joins Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx, Crimson/Black, and Cobalt/Black. Now there’s a Nintendo DS color to complement any outfit.

The Nintendo DS Lite is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek folding design loaded with features for a unique gaming experience. The color screens are now even brighter and the lower touch screen provides a totally new way of playing and controlling games. Use the built-in wireless mode to share games, chat or even play multiplayer games on-line via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Play impressive 3-D rendered Nintendo DS games and play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single player mode. Nintendo DS Lite comes with a variety of distinctive changes that set it apart from the original: It’s less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter. Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.

The microphone sits in the center of the unit and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed. The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original and slides into a side storage slot. The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access. A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it’s not in use. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.

Features:

System
With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.

Dual Screens:
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.

Customer Reviews

DS with a Cause
Okay, I finally broke down and bought myself one of these instead of waiting for one of my kids to put theirs down. When I saw this special edition, it pushed me over the edge. Hopefully "Susan G. Komen for the Cure" will actually receive some part of the purchase price to help with breast cancer research.

Other reviewers have already given you the facts about this latest GameBoy incarnation. Since all the new games are only available in DS version, you have 2 choices: get a DS or retire. (PSP - what's that?) Not being a quitter, I choose to play. As long as there are Zelda games on the horizon, I shall never rest.
Get one.

GREAT PORTABLE GAME SYSTEM, LOTS OF GOOD GAMES
We purchased the Nintendo DS Lite for my daughter and she loves it. There are a huge amount of quality games for it. She loves the New Super Mario Bros. and Nintendogs is really cute too. It has two screens on it that show different things depending on the game. The screen is bright and has fairly good graphics for a handheld unit.

The screen also utilizes touch screen technology that is used during most games. It also has a built in microphone that can be used for example to talk to your pets on Nintendogs or on PetzCatz 2. With the built in WiFi they can play against their friends or chat without connecting any wires. This unit takes about 8 hours to charge once depleted but you can play while it charges and once it is charged you can play for days without recharging it. With this system you can also play GameBoy Advance games using a port on the unit. This system can do alot and is sure to please.

Wonderful distraction.
This is the first time I got a DS lite. I first fell in love with its looks. The cobalt blue one is really beautiful. I think that this is truly a great way to spend some 10-15 minutes after work and just relax in your couch. I travel a lot and I have to say that the DS has helped me occupy my time in the waiting halls. I just love this console. If you can find the right game for you, you`ll also love this gadget.
