    SUMMARY:
    The cross between the Gamecube and the Nintendo 64 has hit the shelves and the behindings of the main counter of your gaming store. The launch games were awesome (Super Mario 64 DS, Sims Urbz). The main screen when you turn the system on, brings you a health message for the DS. Pass that and you will be at the main screen. You can choose a DS game or a Gameboy Advance game. The DS game has a little icon to show you what game it is in case you can't read. You can choose to 'download' a wireless game hosted by someone else with a DS. You can choose to enter a 4 roomed chatroom with the wireless...

    Backwards Compatability



    Nintendo's most recent handheld system, the DS, is, happily, backwards compatible with Game Boy Advance games, although not with Game Boy or Game Boy Colour cartridges. I'm afraid I've yet to test how well the games transfer, but I will update this review once I have.


    Backwards compatability - the DS game discs fit in the smaller slot, while GBA cartridges fit in the larger one. A plastic cover allows the system to keep it's streamlined shape, with or without a cartridge inserted.




    Dual Display and Touch Screen



    The system features two display screens, the lower one of which has a touch-sensitive overlay. This is designed to accept input from a stylus, or from the player's fingers, and is put to good use in many...

    SUMMARY:


    Nintendo DS

    The Nintendo DS is a great Portable. It has some great games, and neat Wireless Features. When I first got my DS in September 2006 I loved it. The first game that I had was the Metroid Prime Hunters Demo, that I bought off my friend. Even with the game being just a demo, it amazed me at what it could do. The interaction between the Touch Screen and the Top Screen is amazing.

    THE GOOD:
    The DS is the one of the best selling systems out now, and there are many reasons. Free WiFi play is one, being able to connect to your friends without paying yearly prices is nice. Also, the DS appeals to many different people, old and young. There is something for everyone!

    The DS is very unique in it capabilities, it is a gaming experience, that is unparalleled. The use of the touch screen is great. Many games use the touch screen as movement. Also, the DS is portable, which is a plus.

    The saving game system on the DS is better than the other systems, because you don't have to carry around a bunch of memory cards in case you have a lot of games. The saves are right on the game for the DS.

    THE BAD:
    Despite all of the good things about the DS, there are in fact, a few bad things. One is competitive online play. Many games become too competitive online, and no longer are fun. Games are made for fun, not competition. Many...

    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...
