Gift clone Nintendo DS Lite to little children

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Are you tired of your niece, nephew, neighbor or some other little kid whose bratty behavior gets under your skin? Here’s the ideal present for someone who is just not worth being flattered and spoilt. This video game system which looks no different from the Lite is nothing but a really cheap Chinese replica of the actual thing.

The YD-965 Dot Matrix has certainly pinched its looks from the Lite, but on further examination you’ll realize that it’s really a cheap piece of scrap. For one, you’ll observe the top screen is black and white with big blocky pixels and the bottom screen – if you can even call it a screen – is nothing more than just a sticker with a picture on it!.

Actually, the game on the sticker appears much more enticing than the five game cartridges that come along as with the system: Tank, King Boxine. The Wall, Star War and Risk King.

Adhering of Risk-King, its probably the most appropriate name for a game on this system, because you will definitely be Risk-King $11 dollars of your hard-earned cash if you order one of these.
