The best-selling video game system in the world grabs attention with a splash of color and looks good whether it's toted in your school backpack, pulled from your purse, or riding with you on a family trip. The new Pokemon-themed Nintendo DS handheld game system joins Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx, Crimson/Black, and Cobalt/Black. The Nintendo DS Lite is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek folding design loaded with features for a unique gaming experience. The color screens are now even brighter and the lower touch screen provides a totally new way of playing and controlling games. Use the built-in wireless mode to share games, chat or even play multiplayer games on-line via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Play impressive 3-D rendered Nintendo DS games and play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single player mode. Nintendo DS Lite comes with a variety of distinctive changes that set it apart from the original: It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter. Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power. The microphone sits in the center of the unit and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed. 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 Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.Features:

Get it while you can! August 21, 2007
146 out of 162 found this review helpful
First and foremost, if you are considering buying this DS bundle... DO IT! This bundle is very limited. The older DS, better known as the "DS Phat" was once sold in a Mario Kart bundle, and every since it sold out, none have been produced. This bundle is the same case: once it's gone, eBay will be the only place you can find them -- for 3 times the price.
Anyways, the bundle as it is, is very good, both in terms of value and appeal. The Crimson/Black color scheme is very original. The only Crimson part of the DS is the top shell that you see in the picture: the rest is the a matte black. The DS you get functions like any other DS lite, so there's no need to worry about compatibility.
The case that comes with the DS is very nice. The DS lite, unlike the PSP, is a system that will withstand a LOT of abuse. For instance, I have dropped my Onyx DS from a height of 5ft+ MULTIPLE times, and the screen and body still is intact (AND it still works). Anyways, the case's outside is black, with red stitching. The inside is red, and has the DS logo (the two squares representing the screens) printed repeatedly in a diagonal pattern. To keep the DS in the case, there are three elastic bands, that are very well placed. One annoyance that I have is that there's a pretty big Nintendo tag hanging from the side of the case (like you would find on a t-shirt), but with a small pair of scissors, you can easily remove it. The top panel of the case has a slot for 3 game carts; these holders are black. I think the case gives a little more protection in case one should drop it, but it's more scratch protection and appeal.
Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! is a great game. If you have played the first, you will greatly enjoy the second. Not only are there more mini games for you to play, but some of the features from the previous game have been implemented: the drawing competitions and Sudoku puzzles. I'm pretty sure that you are able to save up to an years worth of records, so after the save file reaches a year, you won't be able to do more than view the calender and your progress. The game list is as follows:
* Missing Symbols
* Masterpiece Recital
* Word Scramble
* Correct Change
* Word Blend
* Memory Addition
* Days and Dates
* Finishing Position
* Determine the Time
* Calculate the Height
* Rock, Paper, Scissors
* Continuous Countdown
* Speedy Symbols
* Memory Addition
* Memorize 5x5
* Highest Number
In terms of value, this bundle is perfect. Here's a summary of what you get:
* Limited Edition DS Lite ($129.99+ retail; expect prices to skyrocket when the bundle is discontinued)
* Brain Age 2 ($19.99)
* DS Lite Case (~$9.99)
TOTAL = $159.97
$159.97 x 7.75% tax = $172.38
$172.38 + $10.00 shipping elsewhere = $182.38
You currently save $32.39; if you wait, the money you save will only rise, since the limited edition DS becomes more valuable.
You get this all for $149.99: no tax; no shipping. Whether you get this for the fun, or to scalp the system for more money on eBay or somewhere else, this is worth buying.
Thanks for reading my review.
Perfect starter set for newbies or anyone August 22, 2007

Okay, I'm not a gamer. I don't have kids. I've never owned a Nintendo or any other game system aside from the Atari 5600 (which tells you how old *I* am!) although I played other game systems here and there. However, deep down I kind of wanted a DS because it looked like a fun way to pass time at the airport, while commuting, on lunch breaks, etc., but the other versions didn't appeal to me. They looked too kiddy-like and plastic (aka cheap). I also didn't know there were any "adult" games out there. And then.... Nintendo came out with this package. A new color scheme, packaged with Brain Age 2, a stylish case and the system suddenly appeals to ALL those people who may have felt foolish buying the other ones. I admit it, I was sold. Love at first sight. A GENIUS move on Nintendo's part. (To even further prove their point, I also purchased two games along with this set so I'd have plenty to do- Sega Casino and Mario Kart.) I have to say, I'm loving this thing. It's loads of fun, easy to use, very portable, no complicated learning curve, no difficult setup or anything. Just pop in a game and go. Brain Age 2 is great (I want to get the first one now); I discovered there's a lot I don't know! Sega Casino is entertaining and Mario Kart is just plain fun :) I plan on trying out many more games and enjoying this for a long time... at least until they come out with another Limited Edition version that I have to have, LOL
Definitely a good way to get into the DS if you've been on the fence about it, as I was. Or even if you just want one, it's a great package. It would also make a great gift for just about anyone, young or old. Heck, I'm thinking of getting my parents one for Christmas!
Fun sequel to one of the previous best November 23, 2007

Here is the review I wrote for the game after it launched. I hope some of you looking at this bundle find it helpful. It truly is an amazing game. Enjoy!
***Note: Some spoilers within***
It's been a while since I enjoyed a Zelda title on a handheld. This selection doesn't disappoint.
I'm only a few hours in and I'm hooked. The story line, graphics, music and the characters are all excellent. This title, like Wind Waker, uses the cartoonish/younger set of characters versus the young adult set from Twilight Princess.
For now, here is what I like and don't like. Of course, I'll update the review as I get deeper into the game.
Pros:
- Picks up where Wind Waker left off. A great story!
- Having the map on the second screen is brilliant. Being able to jot down notes on it is even better. This is by far the most useful tool in the game.
- You can save at any point in the game.
- Puzzle mix is pretty balanced. Nothing too simple and nothing aggravating to the point I want to put the game down. I really dig some of the creative elements they've added to the dungeons. That's all I'm saying; I don't want to give away any spoilers. :)
- The boomerang. I love drawing the path out on the screen. Not only is it used to complete certain actions/puzzles, it's a vital tool in fights. Tip #1: Go slow when drawing the path. If you hit walls or obstacles, the throw is not completed. Tip #2: You can hold down the left shoulder button to instantly switch to the boomerang. This is a great way to quickly arm it.
Cons:
- I feel like I'm always running out of "screen". This just boils down to the stylus control and limited real estate of the DS.
- Getting Link to "roll" is quite difficult for me. Others may have this move down. I'm still struggling.
- You can "fall" into water (you lose a heart piece) and off of cliffs. One stylus touch too far and Link can be sent flying off a cliff forcing you to start a map from where you landed. For me, that always seems to be the beginning. :)
- Other than accessing menus and flipping the screens, the direction pad is pretty much unused. In similar games, I prefer to use it for "moving" characters on screen. It was a little disappointing to see this left out. Not a deal-breaker, just nice to have.
- Using the microphone. I don't think you need to incorporate this into every game. It's great for its intended purpose, but frankly, I don't want to have to blow on my DS to make candles go out as part of a puzzle. Is there a button that will do the same? If there is, I haven't found it yet. I'm still blowing. Just a minor annoyance.
So far this game is a lot of fun; more to come soon, if I ever put this thing down.
***UPDATE 10/08/07***
The game continues to rock. The story is getting deeper and I've very into it. I also like how the ocean-going portion of the game is panning out. (E.g. Upgrading the ship, plotting courses, ocean battles, etc.) The addition of "treasure hunting" or "salvaging" is like a mini-game in itself.
The versatility of the items you acquire continues to impress.
Examples:
- The bombs (oh, how I love the bombs) can obviously be used to blow up enemies, but they are equally useful in blowing up crates and walls so you can gain access to new areas and treasure.
- The bow and arrow (my new favorite) is not only a fast and accurate weapon, but a vital tool fot activating dungeon "eyeball" switches.
***UPDATE 10/14/07***
More great items, more great adventure.
Here are some highlights from the last week (hopefully I don't spoil anything).
- Fishing is great. I found myself a fishing rod. Well, I was actually given it. It is little hard to control at first, but once getting the hang of it, provides a lot of fun and there is a nice surprise waiting for you if you "catch 'em all".
- I'm hooked on the Grappling Hook! Like the boomerang, it's a vital tool and is used for much more than just grappling. One great example, think "Human Slingshot."
- I finally died (fire and ice dragons were tough until I figured out what to do). It was nice that all I had to do was walk back through the blue portal and I was right back to the boss fight again. Thank goodness I didn't have to do the entire dungeon again.
***UPDATE 10/28/07***
I finished the game on a flight to LA this weekend.
- The storyline continued to develop and really kept me interested; all the way to the end.
- The new items (especially the hammer) were perfect additions to the already creative arsenal. (Hint: Be sure to hold down the stylus for a second or two and the hammer doubles in size and punch)
- A couple of the boss-fights were actually in 3D-mode versus top-down 3rd person. The graphics during these sequences looked great.
- There were even some really funny moments towards the end. When G'Pa snatched the hourglass from Link mid-spin, I cracked up.
- Lastly, the final boss fight was excellent. Not too hard, multi-leveled (literally) and actually really fun. No frustration.
Kudos to Nintendo for making one of the best games I've ever played on the DS. Thank you!
Link's New Tri-Force November 23, 2007

When it has come to video gamers, many of them are seeking high and low to find the best of the best. That unfortunately has happened to those who are still seeking to find the Nintendo Wii. While they could try to find suvstsitutes like the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 in the new generation of home consoles. While those have the hype, they don't completely have the gameplay. The Nintendo DS has proven for the past 3 years, how much fun it is to play on the run, at a affordable price, and the appeals it keeps coming to new fans as well as die hard fans of Nintendo alike. Now, they have their latest bundle for the Nintendo DS, and it is something valued in gold.
The new Nintendo DS Lite Gold Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass bundlepack, is a compact and convient game system, that you can bring with you on the go. The system works like a charm, as you use your stylus pen to touch your way through many different games like Super Mario 64 DS, and recent titles like Mario Party DS and Brain Age 2. The system is set in a unique gold color, which is appealing to those die hard fan of The Legend Of Zelda series, is a elequent colored design with the trade Zelda Tri-Force stamp of approval, as shown in the look to this limited edition system. On top of that, if you haven't yet cought the Game Boy Advance from the last generation of handheld consoles, you can play your GBA games on the DS Lite, and try to conquer classics like Super Mario Advance 4; Super Mario Brothers 3, Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis, and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest.
The system also comes with the Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass game, a sequel to the Nintendo Gamecube title, Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It is fun to play, as you guide Link and his crew through this exciting game filled with missions, quests, and puzzles that are sure to blow you away, with the simple control of the stylus that works great with the game. The graphics handle great, while the gameplay brings in a whole new dimension of gameplay which is something we haven't seen in the Zelda franchise as of yet.
All in all, I am a huge fan of the Nintendo DS, and I absolutely recommend The Nintendo DS Gold Legend Of Zelda bundlepack. It is angreat for those who haven't yet had the DS experience, and for those who are just simply tired of trying to find the Wii, or for those who want a great challenging video game system ata bargain price. I absoluetly recommend the Nintendo DS Lite, as a must buy for any gamers collection. Let The Tri-Force be with you!

This is our household's FOURTH DS lite...now every single member owns their own! Nintendo outdoes themselves time and time again. The Metallic Rose color is so much better than the pink they've had out for a while now and Nintendogs is a game both of my boys (9 and 4) enjoy playing. This bundle worked out really well for our family!
