Nintendo - DS Console Reviews

The Nintendo Dual Screen (or DS) was the all the rage in busy 2004 holiday season. This new age device not only looks pretty sleek and well designed here but what really makes the DS a cool step forward in portable gaming is its unique second screen, its wireless multi-player support, Nintendo64-like 3D graphics engine (better then the older Gameboy Advance anyway), and who could forget the innovative touch screen features too? Nintendo already has a lot of third party support behind the unit so see why the sky is the limit for this tiny machine.

The Nintendo DS is about the same size as a Game...

I purchased my Nintendo DS used on Ebay for significantly less than it sells for in the stores, but we've had so much fun with it already, I'd consider buying another so that we can link up and play games against each other with the DS's built-in wireless connection.

I decided to get a DS because Nintendo games were the only ones I was ever able to keep up with. As a child I loved Duck Hunt, Mario, Zelda... As the games got harder they lost all the fun for me. I purchased my DS and the new Zelda game and was instantly wisked back to my childhood days of playing games with my cousin, listening to...

I absolutely love the Nintendo DS.  When this product first came out, it wasn't anything special.  I really wanted to give my kids a PSP, but it was TWICE the price of the DS.  So, we went with the DS.  In the past year, they have come out with so many great games and gadgets for the DS that I don't regret my decision at all!  Not only can they chat with their friends and play their games wirelessly, they can get on the internet with the new browser attachment.  There are games for little kids, big kids, girls, boys, and adults.  My husband and I love Brain Age and my little ones can play...

This system is perfect for kids, especially younger ones.  It is so durable yet stylish.  It can play ds games as well as game boy advance games.  Perfect for long car trips or short trips like to the dentist.  The array of games for this system is just unreal.  Nintendo even makes movies for this system.  You can get full length movies, like Shrek and Shark Tale, or just different cartoons on one game cartridge.  There are literally thousands of games available, ranging in age for very young, like my four year old nephew all the way up to teenagers.  The greatest thing the kids like about...

I’ve had my Nintendo DS for a few years now.  I have been very impressed with the innovative touch screen technology,  which responds extremely well.  Some games do not really utilize it, but it adds a unique gameplay experience to the ones that do. While the graphics for the DS may not be as visually impressive as those of the Sony PSP, I still prefer the DS because of the better selection of games.  While many of the PSP games are basically remakes of PS2 games, the Nintendo DS has many original games which are not available on another system.  The sound isn't as great as the PSP (the...

I love my DS.  Not that I play it every single day but I have to say it might be part of the reason I love to travel.  I get to play my brains out on my DS at the airport, on the plane, extended car rides... Since the DS plays GBA games also, the selection of games is virtually endless - and CHEAP! You can get used GBA games for dirt cheap.  I was recently at a Gamestop and asked them about the DSi that was due later that week and it seemed pretty cool with the features (picture taking, web) until I asked if it still supported GBA games - No.  That was like a -100 for the DSi.

Anyways, I havea ...

My Nintendo DS reminds me how much fun I had when I would play my old school original Game Boy back when the screens were all yellow. Nintendo has a good idea of what makes up a simply fun and entertaining gaming product. While you will not see the more adult-themed titles like in the larger and more powerful systems, the DS focuses more on innovation on the level of experience. The Nintendo wi-fi system and linked game play is an awesome addition to their portable gaming system. My friends and I would play linked games of Mario Kart and have a blast. A great feature too is the "download play"...

I asked my husband to buy the Nintendo DS for me for Christmas last year and he did. I love it. I'm more into the older games, but I have found that the new brain games are great. I like the idea that I can take it with me on trips, etc. I also like the fact that it's not big so that it's not in the way or anything like that.
