Nintendo DS Lite?

Question

Does it get internet like the PSP? What games are there? Prices? When you buy the DS Lite the power plug in come with correct? What else should I know about the pros and cons of the DS Lite before I get one? Can you put music on there? What kind of games does it take (ie. Gameboy advance/color)? Websites are fabulous too.

Answer 1

No it dosnt get internet like the PSP, you can only contact others with a DS who are online and chat or trade things depending on your game, but you cant surf the net.



Yes, the power plug does come with it but you have to buy a seperate one to plug into your car.



www.gamestop.com and go under DS and click "all" under games and you will get like 95% of all games made on the DS if not more.



I have a DS and i litterly never use it, its fun for pokemon and stuff but isnt a system to hold my attention for an extended period of time.



No, you cant put music on there.



It plays gameboy advance games but i dont think color, but maybe.

Peace Out and I hope i have helped.

Answer 2

The DS Lite does come with a power cord to charge the lithium ion battery. Out of the box, the DS cannot surf the web. It does have a chat program called Picto Chat that allows you to chat with other DS users in the area or over the web. The DS Lite can play DS games and Gameboy Advance games, but not Gameboy or Gameboy color games.



There is a cartridge you can buy that will allow the DS Lite to surf the web using the Opera browser which is endorsed by Nintendo.



There are also flash cartridges, R4 (www.r4ds.com) and Supercard (www.supercardnds.com) are a couple names, that will allow you to play music, videos, and homebrew games on your DS. These cards are not endorsed by Nintendo.



I'm assuming you want to do the pros and cons of a DS Lite to the PSP so here you go:



Pros

-Much longer battery life, up to 20 hours on a charge.

-2 screens that can view information independent of one another.

-Touch screen that really innovates game play

-Larger library of games

-Flash based cards have almost no load times

-Clamshell design is more rugged than PSP and resists scratches on the screen.

-Less expensive of the 2 systems ($129.99 to $169.99)

-Games are geneally less expensive as well.



Cons

-Graphics aren't as good as the PSP

-Does not have web or music functionality out of the box

-The DS web functionality only supports WEP encryption (not WPA or higher)

-Large volume of childrens games (could be a pro if you're buying for a child).

-Flash cards only hold about 1/14th of the space of a PSP UMD.

-PSP also has UMD movies



That isn't all of them, but it should get you started. I'd recommend reading the Wikipedia article on the DS Lite, it has a lot of good information.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if it gets Internet, it Gets Wi-Fi but you need to be at a hot spot for those. I can never use wi-fi for mine. It takes Nintendo DS games AND gameboy advanced games, BUT it does NOT take gameboy color games. The DS games are very small and are easy to lose. Some of the games I particulally like are



Theme Park: Price: 29.99

Pokemon Diamond: Price: 29.99

Mystery Dungeon: Explorers: Price: 29.99

Cooking Mama: Price: 19.99

My Sims: Price: My Sims 29.99



Most games costs 29.99, but there are some that cost less. here is a picture of an DS game as you can see they are small, these can only go in the top Slot on the DS, the bottom slot is for Gameboy Advanced games.

Now the next site i will give you is the top 100 DS games and will give prices. Oh, the DS lite is the same as the normal DS just shaped different and it has a light. Hence the name "DS LITE" here's the top 100 games

I hope this helped good luck!

No it doesn't get Internet, but it has an Internet Game Card that you can buy for it. There is Nintendogs, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Mario Kart, and lots, lots more. No you can't put music on it, and it takes Gameboy games, Gameboy advance games, Nintendo DS Game Cards, but not Gameboy color games. Yes it does come with a charger, you can charge while you're playing. It has Pictochat, DS Download Play, and more. The best game for it would probably be Animal Crossing: Wild World in my opinion.

Answer 5

It matters because the slot on the ds for the gameboy is smaller and won't take the games with the hights like the gameboy color games. I don't know why that is but its just the way the game is



I was upset when i found out I couldn't play my harry potter game on my DS because it was a gameboy color game.



Yes it matters, the gameboy color game won't fit into the gameboy slot, it has to be advanced games. Sorry to say, but color games won't play on DS.
