Wow. DS lite. That looks nice.
|
It doesn't belong in Other Entertainment, but it belongs in Other Games. I will wisk it there now.
MOVED |
Oh god... they are releasing a new DS...
And I just got mine :( |
I knew this would happen. That the main reason I don't have a DS yet. I don't want to be screw up like when I got my GBA. A few months latter the SP came out. Well this time it won't be like that.
|
Based on the new design it somewhat makes sense to do it. It looks Revolution inspired, with the milky white-ness.
I don't like it when Nintendo releases these things. Early adopters, like myself, should get some kind of benefit, not just the late people. |
I usually hate it when things like this happen. But now that I'm working I don't find the price tags for games and systems quite so high. So yeah I'll definitely be picking one o' these up when they reach my shores. Lighter, slimmer, sharper screen? Sounds good to me.
|
I actually don't like the solid colour scheme of this and the Revolution. It's too iPod-esque. I like seeing the buttons.
|
I kind of expected something more drastic and dramatic than just a smaller version of the ds. I think some things are weird
1. The mic is inbetween the two screens, in MKds, you have to blow into the mic to blow up your balloons, what if you fog up the screens? 2. Why'd they place the start and select buttons elsewhere? They made it just like the advance. I think the color's pretty nice (my silver laptop's turning that color in some places) That's about all I have to say except I still dont think the dslite is that much smaller. And I probably wont buy it.... but that's what I said to the gbasp and then several months later I bought one. Meh, I'm happy with my ds. Besides it did cost me the price plus 50 bucks for the screen repair when it broke. Why ditch it for the better? Sounds so heartless. |
Eh, I prefer the older version. It isn't as prone to breakage as this one probably will be. They always release the more durable one first then throw out one that's easy to break a year or so after... *coughSPcough*
|
I've never found a Nintendo product to be prone to breakages... They're always top-quality.
|
I agree with Lucifer, Nintendo does keep their stuff high quality. Both my SP and GBA still work. And I've had both for like.... a long time (hell even my GBA works and up till a few months ago my SNES worked).
Anyway on to the new DS. I'm going to buy it, it's as simple as that. I want a new DS because the one I have now doesn't like me (the head is loose and it bugs me). On top of that it looks sweet with it's small look. The Size: I always love it when Nintendo pops out a new smaller hand held (and I still think the Micro is too freaking small!). I got the SP when I had my GBA and I'm going to get the Lite. The new DS looks really small and that's a good thing (unless you lose small things XD). The Screen: I guess the brightness settings will help save battery life. And that's always a good thing on long trips or if you play it a lot and don't feel like charging or getting tied down by wires. The Looks: I'll just say it looks great and leave it at that (I like the Rev style look to it). XD I agree that the mic is in the wrong place (who thought of putting it in the middle of the two) and should be moved somewhere else. And the price is a little up there then what the DS costs now. GameSpot said it'll be priced at $145 dollars (so a little higher then the DS). Over all I like the system, and I'll be getting it (maybe not the day it comes out but I'll get it). |
The name: DS Lite...I don't really like it
It is just a smaller MORE portable DS, that is the only difference. 39% Smaller 21% Lighter. That is is. |
x___x
I freaking love the milky white prettiness. But like Kohei, I just received mine about a month ago. GAH. |
Now this looks COOL, I wonder if this DS and play GB/GBC games.
|
Er, no. D: It will never ~ that would increase the size.
As for me~ sure, it's smaller. But the original DS [and not the original concept design!] stole my heart and will never let go <3 I'll probably _not_ buy this. |
Haha...they should have thought about the weight factor before they decided to give it two screens, that would have solved everything.
Ninty wants your money, chilluns. |
Paul and Brotlov brought a good point. Will it be able to still play GBA games? I mean they did have to do something to make it smaller. I mean logically Nintendo won't do that because it is a bacd market decidion. Lost of profits and all.

As for the people complaining about a redesign, you should have expected it. Nintendo has redesigned the NES/SNES/GB/GBA and if the N64/GCN were more successful, I'm sure we would've seen a redesign for those two as well. It's not like Nintendo is the only company who redesign's their products either. Apple is constantly releasing a new generation of iPod that usually has very little improvements over the last one, and Sony has also redesigned the PSX/PS2 as well. That said, I think it's not even meant for those who already bought it, it's really aimed at those who have yet purchased a DS because of it's looks or weight or because of other factors they didn't buy one for. They obviously didn't do anything radical like add an analog stick because that would be something that would alienate the current DS owners and could even effect some of the current games. But it's a nice addition to the current models and is a good alternative for those who do not already own a DS but wanted to get one for it's games. If you currently have a DS and really want this one, it's obviously going to cost you, but there is really no need for you to get one. |
Neat. I can't wait to get me one of those.
|
Looks pretty good though me rather keep me old DS then waste money on the same console that has just gotten a face lift O.o
|
It's pretty nice; much nicer then the original for sure. I was waiting to buy a DS and I'm glad I did.
|
I actually prefer the DS Lite's design to the current one's. Perhaps I'll pick one of these up once they become much cheaper (or, in counterpoint, I become much less poor). At least it's not like the SP... dang I really hated those things!
|
If the SP didn't release, I'd be surprised. The DS Lite seems okay... at the least. But... white <3
|
Andy brings up a good point about the micro...if I played that somehow, someway id swallow it, but that'd be an awesome way to die "I died by a bullet wound", "I died from cancer" "Hey guess what? i swallowed a gameboy!"
well i bought by DS last June and it rocks...but i over played it and have charged it over night more then once on accident...and the battery life is starting to die on me...maybe i will buy this one, im afraid it'll be to sharp (the corners) and i'd end up cutting off my fingers when i play it...XD oh yeah i came back to PC for a couple minutes everyone! |
Nothing major to me. I'm pissed because after I got my GBA the SP came out with the lighted screen - that was the big thing. I'll probably get the old version when I do because it's cheaper.
|
Hey i just noticed something...WHERES THE ON BUTTON!? XD lol
|
A lot of people(not here) keep saying that it's too i-Pod looking because it's white, it's not like Apple invented that color.
Anyways, I will probably be getting one of these when it comes out here in the States. Nintendo does want our money and they'll be getting mine. I'm making them rich!! |

It's most likely on the side like the SP was. |
Well, makes me glad I haven't bought myself a DS.
But, I could get myself an older version for under $100 at some places I know of. |

Ehh, this seems way too early for a DS Redesign... But I guess it looks pretty good. I probably won't end up getting it though. =(

Andy: *Playing games and getting a really high score on a new game* Andy's mom: Turn the lights off and go to bed. Andy: *Thinks Lights "off"* off... *Looks down at the DS and sees it turn off* O_O NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! XD Quote:
|
Looked like a style-concious version of the DS at first, but the touchscreen is supposedly raised- definete turnoff IMO.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that DSlite will kill off some PSP fans, especially the ones condemning the original DS because of it's fisherprice-toy-resemblence. Oh, and by the way- are the buttons backlit? |
It's been confirmed that the power button is a switch on the side, guys... XD
|
In regards to the switch thing and the firmware not being able to turn it off, they could always update the firmware or the switch might be like the PSP switch, just switch it on and it turns on(or off) and then the switch goes back to it's original position. Also it just might be a button............

BTW, did anyone see this color of the new DS? http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/Roders5/tetrisblack.jpg It's not official, but Nintendo did say they will release this new DS in three colours at launch so hopefully black is one of them. :D |
I WANT THAT DS OR THE BLUE ONE ....*sigh* my family doesnt have enough money.....
|
Finally the question of, "where is the power button?" is answered, here is a pic, this is a prototype(assumingly) but it looks pretty much like the picture Nintendo gave out, the white looks flatter than I thought but it's all good, it's just a prototype.
http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/02/dslite_side_powerswitch.jpg Here is a link where you will see more pictures: 5 Pics |
This DS does look good, but I won't spend money to buy it. The average DS is fine.

It's Dakota by the way...represent |

did the same thing - plus until diamond comes out i dont have a real games i really wanted for it |
Here's another picture showing the location of the power button and stylus holder. Part of a set of new shots Nintendo recently released of the machine.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d135/jumbo_cactuar_cards/DSLite.jpg |
I think that's the GBA2 because I heard Nintendo were releasing something like that
|
I think it's the DS Lite. Because it is the DS Lite. ;)
|
its there on the first post piccy.. its called DS Lite.. |
Looks like I'm going to have to buy a 3rd DS!
|
Well I heard Nintendo were creating a GBA2, I'm just saying
|
For those who want to see the three colors of it, along with rotating coolness:
http://touch-ds.jp/news/lite/ Or if you're on a slow connection and don't want to wait for that to load (although it is REALLY cool)... http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/lite/color/index.html |
So Beautiful...I wanna get myself one...
|
It looks the exact same O_O;;;
|
Right..
You can clearly see that the new model is slimmer, lighter and easier to hold. It's similar in shape to the original DS, because that's pretty-much the way it has to look for it to function properly. The Lite is far more chiseled and aesthetically pleasing. Anyway I don't think this has been posted yet, so here's a size comparison. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d135/jumbo_cactuar_cards/DSvLite.jpg |

You spelt my name as Katey. =(
Anyway... I want one of these so bad... I just need to get my brother to buy my DS off me first. =/ |
*groans* -_- I just got my NintendoDS two weeks ago... *tries not to stare at the milky-whiteness*
|
Since it says coming in JAPAN in March I'll just buy a used DS for now (maybe) and buy a lite in the summer or whenever it comes.
|
When It comes out im gonna sell my old DS and buy this one!
|
How can you say it looks the same....Does everything look the same to you?
|
Quote:
id buy one if theres a pokemon edition never had one of those... |
They could of at least waited a year before starting work on this IMO. It's pointless I think. It doesn't look that much smaller to me, & doesn't do anything different as far as I can see.
|
its stupid the mic is in the middle... when your blowing the bubble blower in nintendogs you might get spit on the screen i think it should be on the bottom because you don't face directly straight whenplaing you face down...
|
I'm torn as of right now. I LOVE my DS, bought it the day they were released her in the US. I'm honestly perfectly fine with my DS but I wouldn't mind getting a Lite. I like it's look, and it looks as though it won't create a buldge in my pocket. All-in-all, if I am to somehow end up with spare money I don't need, I'll probobly buy one.
|
This is very cool! I want one!
|
So cool I want one :/.....
|
this looks cool, I was expecting somethng like this, but later XP, but for now I'll stick with my own normal DS, at least until I have the money *faints*
|
Good thing I didn't get a DS for christmas xD and its such a purty white <3 ....
I can't wait for it to come out ^^ |
I've decided to give my DS to my sister to get one, the GBA cart might stick out but that screen is too much for me to resist. Here are some more pictures for you guys:

The DS lite sux
My friend was leaning over with a DS Lite. Someone bumped him. it fell on carpet. The screen fell off. I slipped. My DS fell down a set of stairs. (It was only 4 steps, but slit, it was a hard wood floor and the bottom) It has a small dent. It still works fine. |
That's wonderful, but that doesn't excuse you bumping a two year old thread. :| Make a new one to talk about the Lite if you want to continue this, and check your timestamps next time.
