DS Lite White Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.
The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original and slides into a side storage slot. The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access. A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it’s not in use. With the DS Lite White Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.
We bought the Nintendo DS for our son, and he has really enjoyed it. We were so impressed my wife and I also got one. Some of the games that allow you to play via wireless connection are great for family time. Our son loves Animal Crossing, and we all got the game and play it together. Club House Games is also a great title. It has lots of games including many card and board games, and you can play wirelessly with one or more friends.
Perhaps the most welcome change to the DS Lite White is the screen. The original DS screen was not exactly bright. In fact, it was, in comparison the DS Lite, rather dark. Games like Metroid Prime Hunters were darker than they had to be. On this new screen, the difference in how bright the games appear really shows. Not only that but, you can adjust the brightness if need be. It doesn't really affect the battery life, either. You can play the DS Lite White for as long as you played the original. And also like the original, it charges while you play.
The first thing you notice about the DS Lite is that it is much smaller than the original DS. I will try to offer a size comparison using the PSP. The DS Lite is about an inch in length shorter than the PSP, and about the same thickness and width, so it is pretty small in comparison to the bulky original. It can fit in your pocket with ease. It is also much nicer-looking than the original DS. Nintendo gave this handheld a nice, neutral look with a glossy white finish on the outside, similar to what has been seen on iPods in the past. Nintendo also has plans to bring other colors, such as Enamel Navy, Ice Blue, and Jet Black to the US. The system is also MUCH more noticeably lighter than the original, but not too light to make it feel cheap. It still feels very solid, and Nintendo claims it's just as tough as the original.
