This is a stylish device that packs a lot of punch. Since its release, it has come in several color variations, such as enameled navy blue, ice blue, and crystal white. Of course, there are the more traditional shades of black and white. Creative colors and stylish looks aren’t the only strong factors of 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 modified, lightened, the designs were improved and voila, the Lite was born. All of these improvements also seem to have worked as more and more people appreciate 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 Nintendo DS Lite that have contributed to the high demands from consumers? 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, the Nintendo Wii, and the original Nintendo DS.

Weighing 218 grams, Nintendo DS Lite measures 5.24 x 2.9 x 0.85 inches. Compared to its predecessor, the original DS, the Lite has a longer battery life. A battery life of 15 to 19 hours can be expected 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 brightness levels. The stylus is larger than the original DS, allowing for a better grip. The top hinge is definitely stronger and more shock resistant. It is also designed with device protection in mind. This is evident by the filter cartridge that is complementary to the device, allowing for a more even surface. Additionally, debris and dust particles are now effectively kept out. Its bottom is protected by black plastic that prevents the accumulation of fat. Game Boy Advance games now stick out 1cm due to design changes, but this has not affected the playability 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 the use of the device. In every way, Nintendo made DS Lite better!
