DS Lite vs classic Nintendo
Friday, February 12th, 2010
Nintendo DS Lite is smaller than one third compared to the classic Nintendo DS and has a weight of less than 20%. Nintendo DS Lite features brighter screens and with four levels of brightness which give a higher gloss to the games.

With its fantastic look Nintendo DS Lite is not just the top of portable entertainment, but also a true masterpiece of design. Amazing screen brightness: where the old DS was causing visibility problems in the presence of soft lights, we can rejoice four adjustable levels of brightness for both screens.
This new version of the console will soon establish itself as the technological gadget to have at all costs. Moreover, it is a console that has managed to sell 13 million units around the world, and we do not doubt the new version will collect even greater consensus among the general public.
The layout of buttons in Nintendo DS is the same, changing only the position of the keys “select” and “start”, moved to the bottom right, but it lacks the power button, replaced by a lever to push (you have to push up a second and a half during ignition and shutdown) on the right side of the console.

The big screen of DS Lite
Friday, January 1st, 2010
From the time of Nintendo DS Lite the idea came for a living room optimized Nintendo DS if we remember properly. In those days the Nintendo was developed to a DS Lite revision that had larger screens. It was never released, but was ready for the production of big screen Nintendo DS Lite. It had screens of 3.8 inch.

This 3.8 inch screen is larger than what we have the standard 3 inch screens on DS Lite. Well, it is on the other hand is smaller than the DSi XL’s 4.2 inch screens.
The Nintendo DS Lite will be flying away from stores and the big screen DS Lite of Nintendo never entered into production. But it is sure that the unreleased piece of hardware for the DS Lite became the base for Nintendo DSi XL.
Yes, much ahead of announcing this new one as the Nintendo DSi LL in the Japan market and as DSI XL in the North America market, the company tossed around other names. Shigeru Miyamoto liked the name Nintendo DSi Deka. This name is Nintendo DSi Large in English.
However, other members of the team suggested to name it as DSi Comfort, DSi Executive, DSi Premium, and DSi Living.
Even Nintendo thought of using the name of DSi XL globally before settling on the name as DSi LL for the Japan market.

Why has the Nintendo DS done so well in the UK history
Saturday, December 26th, 2009
It was too much assumed way back in the year 2005 that the Sony PSP may win the battle of the handheld games consoles. The reason behind this is that the PSP was sleek and have gorgeous widescreen display. Where as the Nintendo DS looked like a toy. Though the two screens were included but it was not enough to get anyone excited. However, the PSP has done well enough and it sold over 50m units. But the Nintendo was not so bad even. The ugly duckling has grown into a phenomenon.

Nintendo has now shifted over 100m units. In this recent trend, the Nintendo DS has overtook the PlayStation 2 and has become the biggest selling games console in the history of UK.
The big question arises that why has the Nintendo DS done so well?
There are three main factors to be credited. It has the ability to jab at a screen with a stylus and this was usually enough for gamers to attract. More to this the sleek and the minimal styling of the later models helped it to become more famous. And not to forget, the most important of all, the console has been popular due to the variety of content.

Sunday, September 27th, 2009
The Nintendo DSi-capable cartridges are region locked. This was announced by the company almost a year before.
The Nintendo DS cartridges that features DSi-enhanced camera functionality released in the US market works well on a system in US and it boots very fine but the same when brought to a Japanese system, the icons of the game does not appears in the menu. Thus it prevents from playing on that system.
Well, this lock-out is not applicable to playing on standard DS or DS Lite systems because they don’t have the same specific territory firmware as of the DSi units.
Remember this properly that this DSi lock-out is not only limited to the DSi Shop and DSiWare downloads.
Nintendo announced last year about it and then it mentioned that the reason behind doping this is because of the cartridge lock-out is due to the specific internet connectivity of the system and also the incorporated parental controls.
