Read the full review →With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS.
Read the full review →The new console is definitely a thumbs up, its new refined style should now pit it against Sony's more style conscious PSP, but with a quirkier selection of games and a price tag under a £100 means it’s a slice of gaming excellence.

If you just want to play a game on it then its great. Lots of fun games, including Pokemon Platinum, Brain Training and Mario Kart DS. And also has the added plus of being able to play Gameboy Advance games if you have any of them lying around. Battery is rechargeable and lasts a long time....
