The original Game Boy Advance fits comfortably into the pocket of a backpack. The retooled Game Boy Advance SP fits into a coat pocket. Now Nintendo takes aim at the pocket of your tightest jeans with the tiny Game Boy Micro system, quite simply the smallest and sleekest Game Boy product that Nintendo has ever created. It's thinner than a cell phone, as chic as an MP3 player and as fun as a Game Boy. In an instant it attracts attention and positions the image-conscious player as someone on the cutting edge of cool.

The Nintendo DS proclaims that touching is good for gaming, and with the fashionable DS Lite now on the scene, we’re inclined to agree. The DS Lite has improved in every way over the original DS model. The screens are brighter, the case is more durable, and power consumption is more efficient. A full three hour charge will have you in portable gaming heaven for up to 19 hours of continuous operation! A whole roster of colors and styles complement the sleek new accents of the DS Lite meaning you can play better and look better than ever before. Less

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like nobody's business; they could take those games... Read full review »

Big gaming in a small package

46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't think of Nintendo's Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line. The system is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a smaller shell. I don't think of it as a "novelty" item either, as I do see more and more people of... Read full review »

How the DS Lite Came to Be...

When the orignal Nintendo DS launched in 2004 it was met with more than a little skepticism. This was mainly due to the unorthodox features of the little handheld; it featured two screens, one of them being a touch screen. The system turned out to be a... Read full review »

61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros decent selection of games, low price, wifi multiplayer, no need for lots of accessories
Cons lack of multiplayer games, slow hardware, some genres not well represented
Recommended it? Yes

I swear. I did own an original Nintendo DS. Despite its innovation and the games that were on the way, I had to give it up. I had won it in a contest, but was out of work at the time. I really needed the money and couldn't afford to start putting in money for games. Since I became reemployed, the... Read full review »
