If your not quite ready to buy a 3DS and/or just want to re-experience some of your old childhood games. The Nintendo DS is a good choice as a system. Just bear in mind that Nintendo no longer supports online play through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for this system, so don't buy any games that use that feature extensively.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The DS would be great if it would charge. Bought it for our grandson for Christmas. He played with it and loved it until it needed to be charged. Neither of the chargers work. We bought him extra games that of course he can't use. Taking it to see if the charging port can be fixed. Praying it gets fixed.

Nintendo loves to reinvent their handheld video game consoles, and we'd probably make fun of them if they weren't so good at it. Take their new DS Lite, for example. This handheld video game console is better than the original in almost every way, and yet Nintendo is selling it for the same price. Obviously, the DS Lite is smaller and lighter than the original video game console. But until you hold it in your hands, you don't realize how much smaller it really is. The DS Lite is nearly two-thirds the size of the original console--about as small as Nintendo could make it and still have room for both screens and both hands. The dual screens have also been improved. There are four brightness settings available, and even the dimmest one is brighter than the original DS console. The bottom screen is still the touch screen, although the stylus is now stored in the right edge of the video game console. The button layout of the video game console has undergone some changes as well. The D-pad is slightly smaller, but feels just as responsive, and the Start and Select buttons have been relocated below the main buttons on the right side. The power switch is now on the right edge of the video game console, eliminating any confusion between on/off and start/select. The DS Lite is still backwards compatible with the vast library of GameBoy Advance games, but the smaller frame means that the GBA cartridges stick out of the system when they're inserted. It doesn't interfere with the gameplay, however, and the video game console comes with a filler cartridge that protects the GBA slot when not in use. Like the original DS, the Lite features built-in WiFi for multiplayer gaming. There's no Web browser available yet, but the free online service allows for head-to-head playing of many DS titles. The video game console is only available in white here in the U.S., although other colors are on the way. But iPod white isn't so bad, since it's been reported that the darker colors really pick up fingerprint smudges. If you already own a Nintendo DS, you may not find the smaller redesign worth the upgrade. But if you're in the market for a handheld video game console, the Nintendo DS Lite is the one to choose. Pros: Much smaller and sleeker, brighter screens Cons: GBA cartridges stick outRead full review
For me as an adult who LOVES those mario bros. type games. Lived through the 80's NES and Genesis systems! And used to them! I think there's MORE things I DON'T like about the DS than I like about the DS systems The things I can say I like are 1) Great portability! Easy to pack all the games in one small case (I have a storage case for it) Take it anywhere. The fun part! For example: play it while we wait for our meal to come when we go to sizzler etc! (2 points of 10) 2) These can play all the Gameboy Advance games! Including my favorites! Super Mario 3 Thus.. backward capatible! NICE! (1 point of 10) 3) The games like Mario 64 and mario Kart etc avalible here! (3 points of 10) NOW WHAT I DON'T LIKE as an adult whos USED to the older systems!!!! 1) The touch screen is DIFFICULT for me to use and get used to! I always have a problem using the touch screen as a 3D stick! Even with those plastic pencils! WISH IT HAD SOME KIND OF BUILT IT 3D JOYSTICK! THEY WORK MUCH BETTER! (Minus 3 points from a 10) 2) The Gameboy advance cartrides stick out while using. Dont like it. Prone for accidently hitting that part. (No biggi) 3) Really dont like the duel screens. I can at times be distracting while playing when both are on. (No biggi) 4) Dont care that much for the touch screen feature. Its too EASY to accidently push the "wrong botton". Have to be careful while moving from bedroom to living room not to touch anything as an example! (minus 1 point from a 10) 5) games COST TOO MUCH! As much as the Xbox 360 or Wii games! Even the DS system is expensive to buy! $129 as of 10-09 (I dont care, oh well) 6) Those DS cartridges! You have to BE VERY CAREFUL with them. They're very small and really easy for someone to "snatch" one or easy to accidently "slip" out of your pocket! (hasnt been an issue yet) So all in all. One of the BIGGEST thing I really really DISLIKE is the lack of built in 3D joysick! I just CANNOT and UNABLE to use the touch screen as a joystick. Never been able to make it work right! So the rating I would give as an adult whos used to the 80's NES. I would give a 6 out of 10. If the DS console had somekind of built in 3D joystick, I WOULD really love the DS (9 of 10)!!!Read full review
A leap forward in handheld gaming...but STILL a tremendous waste of time, lol. The touch screen is very nice and easy...tyhe multiplayer no longer needing a cord is hot. Wish there were more security settings on the CHAT, or wish it could be disabled for younger children. WIll reach a couple of houses down...too far if you ask me. Still, really nice screens and computing power. No support for the original Gameboy games, only Gameboy Advanced, so don't throw away or sell your SP just yet. Seems to be a bit tougher than I expected, also. The hinge is reallt strong (was worried). Charger is also much smaller, convenient on trips. The games are smaller too. Easy to pack. Hope this helps...
