Nintendo DS

The original Nintendo DS is a portable system built like a tank and perfect for kids even today because its significantly cheaper, functions just as well as the new versions, and is can withstand a lot more wear and tear. DS stands for dual screen. Both screens are bright LCDs but the lower one is the touch screen. Using the stylus you gain an unpredecented amount of interactivity never before seen in portable gaming which really enhances the appeal of the game. If the game is about cooking for instance, the stylus can be used as a spoon to mix ingredients. If the game is about solving puzzles or math problems, you can write your answer in.. or doodle images. ...  Read the complete review

The DS (or Dual Screens) is a handheld made by Nintendo to followup from the Gameboy. The DS handheld has changed quite dramatically from the Gameboy, most notably it has gained a second screen. The design isn't the most visually appealing especially compared to the later releases. The console comes in a matt silver colour with the back of it being black. The plastic doesn't look very good and the unit itself is quite bulky . In the box with your Nintendo DS comes the handheld console itself, 2 Nintendo DS stylus, the power adaptor, instruction manuals and a code to register the console and gain some Nintendo Stars. Everything you need to get ...  Read the complete review

The Nintendo DS is an awesome hand held gaming console. I admit though at first I thought "This is stupid, its so gimmicky" but that may be because I was playing the gimmicky games that my friend bought for his, you know the ones that are solely mini-games.ame So I waited and waited, still content with my trusty GBA SP. The went into GAME one day and had a look at the games selection for the console as I was looking for something hand held that I could take on holiday with me. And I must say I was much more impressed with the games selection, Mario Kart DS (that couldnt fail) Metroid Prime Hunters (which was just amazing) and so many other titles ...  Read the complete review

I didn't buy my DS, I inherited it from my step dad. Mum bought it second hand for him a year or so back, but he wasn't really interested in it, and when I mentioned that I'd like to get one, he kindly gave me his. So for me this is at least third hand. I don't mind this because it means I get to rescue something from going in the bin or sitting there unused, and it works fine even if one hinge has been mended. Actually there's an interesting point - the biggest fault with the original DS is the hinges - particularly the right hand one for some reason. Look on ebay and other second hand places and you'll find there are loads there for sale with a damaged hinge ...  Read the complete review

I can remember buying the DS quite a while ago now for £100. The DS was all great and was amazing, but later on there was a DS Lite on the market, putting the DS back a bit. The DS consists on two screen, one being touch screen; two speakers; headphone jack; DS game slot; GBA game slot; stylus and mic. The pen seams a bit thin and is fiddly to write with. The volume button is also very fiddly to set to an exact volume as it either goes to far or not enough. The join to the top screen and speaker is quite week and mine broke after dropping it. The DS is easy to hold and write with using the stylus. It also nicely folds in half and ...  Read the complete review
