Is the Lite any better than the original? Is it smaller?

Check inside to get the full scoop on Nintendo's Revamped DS.

Many stores have broke the street date of the DS Lite. So I went to the Target down the street and they had plenty of them on the shelf.
So here is the picture of the beauties. Oh, and I bought one of course. More later. Work tiiiiimmmee.

Awesome video demonstrating the Nintendo DS Lite, Opera Internet browser for the DS & the new TV Tuner card.

Nintendo has revealed the Nintendo DS Lite.
Quote:

"Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today announced Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer version of the best-selling Nintendo DS™. Also featuring brighter screens, Nintendo DS Lite will launch in Japan in March. Nintendo DS Lite will be less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.

Nintendo DS has enjoyed extremely strong sales in Japan and around the world, selling more than 14.4 million units worldwide. The Japanese sell-through of the existing Nintendo DS hardware exceeded 5 million within 13 months, which made Nintendo DS the fastest-selling video game system there.

Nintendo will announce more information about the availability of Nintendo DS Lite in North America and other territories in the future."

I picked up Mario Kart for the Nintendo DS at EB today. I got there just in time, the guy told me they just got it about 20 minutes ago and I was the first person to purchase one. I couldn't ask for better timing (other than receiving it early). Anyways, the game is freaking awesome. I knew the game would include tracks from previous versions of the game, but I didn't know it had the ones that I liked the most (Moo Moo Farm from N64, original Mario Circuit from SNES, etc.)

I really haven't played single player all that much, I've been playing multiplayer on the 'Nintendo WFC'. The setup for the wireless online is pretty painless, it did take me a few minutes because the server was "Experiencing Intermittent Problems," but that is pretty understandable since the game doesn't "officially" hit most stores until tomorrow, Wednesday 11/16/05, and they are still ironing things out. When entering multiplayer you select if you want to play people from your region, worldwide, rivals and friends. I usually play worldwide or rivals.

I will have a more in-depth review soon about the game in a few days. But as far as you're concerned, if you own a DS, you MUST buy this game.

EDIT: Oh, you should check out NintendoWifi.com, from there you can link your Nintendo.com account to your DS and it lets you see how many races you have won and how you compare to others. Neat stuff. Definitely check it out.

In a previous post, I mentioned a site that had a whole bunch of TV ads for many games and consoles and that I was trying to find the Kirby Canvas Curse TV ad. Well, I found it.

I was surfing around and came across this Korean Nintendo site. It seems to be some sort of reference tool for the DS. But seriously Nintendo, why use such vulgarity? Haha. This is in fact true, hope it gives everyone a good laugh

Here is the actual site (remember that it is in Korean).
Touch! Dic!

This is one of my most anticipated Nintendo DS games this year. I can't wait for a US release date.

Yes, I bit the bullet and bought a Nintendo DS. I can proudly say that it was worth the money. Tony and I had a little trouble acquiring one, but after trying three different Wal*Marts, we were able to buy one. We had to try three different locations because they told us (and the others that were waiting also) that they will not sell the handheld until November 26! I mean what is up with that?! I called them three hours before we went to make sure they were selling these at mid-night and I was told that they were. Long-story short, I hate two of the three Wal*Mart locations in our area. Anyways, I picked up Super Mario 64 DS as my game of choice; it's almost the same version as the one for Nintendo 64 except you can play as Mario, Yoshi, Wario, & Luigi, there are 30 more stars to collect AND!!! It has wireless multiplayer in the game as well. Oh and there's something about there being a touch screen .... "Touching is Good."
