Advantages: Feels great in your hands

Disadvantages: None really

Playing this pretty much for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this console easily surpassed my minimal expectations. Having played it quite a lot since it has continued to maintain a high opinion from me as a great portable console.

The Nintendo DS Lite is a smallish, plastic, portable games console. It has two touch screens and comes with a couple of pens to use on this (though you can use fingers). Although games start off as quite expensive for this, old games for it can be picked up for less than £20.

Firstly I was impressed by the quality of this machine. I was very sceptical about the plastic however it actually feels really good quality and the plastic feels pleasantly thick. I was most impressed however by its multiplayer functionality. Firstly you can connect with up to 8 other nintendo ds's wirelessly as long as you are close together. You can then chat or play games.

The fantastic thing about this is that is one p[layer has a game, then the others can temporarily download this game wirelessly to their nintendos to play it meaning not everyone has to have a game to be able to play it. This generosity in today's times from Nintendo has really won me over.

Summary: Fantastic and well worth buying
