Nintendo DS Hardware

THE BAD:
-Graphics
-Doesn't Play UMD Disks

SUMMARY:
Concept
Revolutionize the portable game systems using touch screen and the microphone for new and innocative gameplay. The Nintendo DS has allot of good features.
Graphics
The Nintendo DS's graphics don't live up to the PSP, but they are good if you liked the Playstation's graphics.
Sound
The DS sound system is great couldn't be better. It plays surround sound that's a first for portable systems.
Gameplay
The DS has new features for a Portabel System. The DS Stylus works like a touch screen where you can make selections using that or you can select things traditionally. The DS Microphone works as voice receptor. You can blow in the Microphone to extinguish candles or talk into the Microphone to give voice commands. The DS has really good down-loadable play too. What sucks is that it can't play UMD Disks that would have made the DS the best though it did outsell the PSP.
Conclusion
The DS is great except that it can't play UMD disks and the graphics could have been better also. This is a great system and you should at least try it out. Though it isn't as tricked out as the PSP it's still a 4/5 though Nintendo always makes there systems only half as good as they can be. Meaning though this is a great system Nintendo should have made it the best.
