This is a stylish device that packs a punch. Since its launch, it has come in several color variations, such as navy blue enamel, ice blue, and crystal white. Of course, there are the more traditional shades of black and white. Creative colors and stylish looks are not the only important factors for DS Lite. Rather, the features are quite unique and overwhelming.
The Nintendo DS Lite is recognizable as a dual screen handheld game console. Its predecessor, the Nintendo DS, was tweaked, made lighter, designs improved, and voila, the Lite was born. All of these improvements seemed to have worked as well because more and more people are appreciating the sleeker, more feature-packed design. In fact, Nintendo has sold over twenty-eight and a half million units!
So here comes the moment of truth. What are the features of the Nintendo DS Lite that have contributed to such high consumer demand? First of all, the device is more than capable of accepting Wi-Fi signals. Such signals will originate from other DS Lite systems, as well as other Wi-Fi hotspots, Nintendo Wii, and the original Nintendo DS.
Weighing in at 218 grams, the Nintendo DS Lite measures 5.24 x 2.9 x 0.85 inches. Compared to its predecessor, the original DS, Lite has a longer battery life. You can expect a battery life of 15 to 19 hours with a 3 hour charge of the 1000 mAh battery.
The LCD screens on the Nintendo DS Lite are certainly more durable this time around and much brighter. There are four levels of brightness. The stylus is larger than the original DS, allowing for a better grip. The top hinge is definitely stronger and shock resistant. It is also designed with device protection in mind. This is evident from the filter cartridge that is complementary to the device, allowing for a more uniform surface. Also, debris and dust particles are now kept away effectively. Its bottom is protected by black plastic that prevents the accumulation of fat. Game Boy Advance games now protrude 1 cm due to design modifications, but this has not affected the gameplay of the games at all.
The Nintendo DS Lite also has a built-in microphone, switch, and other original DS features placed in better strategic positions to maximize device use. In all respects, Nintendo improved DS Lite!
