An objective Nintendo DS review

The Nintendo DS is a handheld and portable game system that was introduced to the North American market and at the same time to the Japanese market in November 2004. Prepared similarly to the Nintendo Game Boy Advance, the Nintendo DS integrated 2 small LCD screens in shell design. The upper screen is intended for display uses, while the lower screen is used as a touch screen for use in games. The touch screen can be used with a stylus, similar to a PDA, and traditional buttons are also built into the sides of the lower screen, similar to the button system used on the Super NES of the 1990s.

The system is integrated with a built-in stereo system microphone and speakers that can provide a virtual surround sound environment, which is extraordinary for a tool of this size. The microphone is used for various games that require a voice detection system such as Nintendogs, Brain Age or can be used for online discussion in an internet game meeting.

The system is extraordinarily transferable and many parents have a huge soft spot for it, as they can keep their children entertained on a long journey while traveling in a shared or private vehicle. For people who like to play online together with other players, the DS console is perhaps the most sought after system as it offers an 802.11 wireless connection. With this internet connection, you can also use the built-in chat feature, PictoChat, which allows up to 16 people to chat with each other in a local setting. The DS’s battery lasts for an impressive 10 hours of playtime and only takes 3 hours to fully charge, which is why it is so popular.

While many game consoles are geared toward teens and kids, the Nintendo DS has fans of all ages. Recognizing this, games have been developed for adults that can help with memory function. This has been popular with aging people and is a great way to keep your intellect in shape. The game series is known as Brain Age and consists of a couple of programs that can help keep your brain vigorous. Not only can you play games that help your brain, but you can also play games that are fun at the same time. Games similar to Memory Sprint, Clock Spin, Number Memory, Math Recall, and Piano Player can not only help your brain stay alert, but can also be fun for adults to play everywhere.

After a booming run with the DS, Nintendo introduced the Nintendo DS Lite, which is very similar but with only a few differences. The DS Lite is lighter and lighter and the battery lasts longer. If the battery is fully charged for 3 hours, it can last up to 15-19 hours. The screen is usually brighter and the pen is larger and easier to grip, and there are 12 colors available to purchase. Some additional design changes are also noticeable, rearranging the buttons and the mic was moved as well. Several limited edition models were also formed, including the Final Fantasy III edition, the Pokémon edition, and the Pirates of the Caribbean edition, among many others. Overall, between the Nintendo DS and the DS lite, almost 175 million units have been sold worldwide.

For those who already own a Game Boy Advance, they will be delighted to know that their GBA games will work on the Nintendo DS and recently Nintendo introduced a browser for the Nintendo DS that allows you to surf the Internet using the wireless Internet connection. Based on the Opera browser, the Nintendo DS is more than just a video game console. A host of accessories can also be purchased for the Nintendo DS, including headsets, Rumble Pak, and a USB Wi-Fi connector.
