DS Lite Rose

Features

The DS Lite Console is a small, pocket sized games console which uses dual screen action which is controlled by Touch Screen interaction. The DS Lite offers wireless communication, allowing multiplayer gaming, or you can use the console's PictoChat software to send messages and drawings to your friends. The Nintendo DS Lite comes in a range of colours the prettiest of which is the DS Lite Rose which is available from limited retailers as it is a version which was released in Asia, not the UK.

The DS Lite Rose has two screens

The two extra-sharp, brightly backlit LCD screens, provide a brand new approach to gaming. Each 3-inch screen can produce 3D graphics, as a result the DS Lite Console can now produce more advanced visuals than the Nintendo 64. You can adjust the screens' brightness in four different levels to suit different lighting conditions, although the brighter the setting the shorter the battery charge will last, even so, hours of gaming can be had at the brightest setting.

Two screens means that one can be used to show the main action, while the other is used as a secondary viewpoint. Both both screens can be used at the same time to depict huge characters.

The DS Lite Rose uses Touch Screen technology

The lower screen on the DS Lite provides touch screen usability.

You can write on the screen using the DS stylus that's included with every system, or your finger. Draw and send pictures with PictoChat, control the on-screen action, or navigate menus smoothly by just touching the screen which is very scratch resistant.

The stylus is safely stored in the side of the unit, while the Touch Screen features a tough film cover for extra durability.

The DS Lite Rose is highly controllable

The DS Lite includes a digital +Control Pad and 8 action buttons, providing for every kind of play style.

These +Control Pad and buttons have been redesigned on the DS LITE Console to be even more responsive and comfortable to use.

The DS Lite Rose is wireless

Up to 16 gamers can connect with each other using the wireless technology when they are between 30 and 100 feet of eachother.

Some games require each player to own a copy of a game in order to take part in multiplayer sessions (i.e. Multi-Card Play), however there are quite a few games which allow Single-Card Play. So only one player actually needs to own a copy of the game, while up to 15 others (depending on the software) can use the Nintendo DS Lite Console's Download Play feature to participate, or even download a demo version of the game.

The Nintendo DS Lite can also communicate with the Wii console through its wireless technology.

STEREO SOUND

Built-in stereo speakers provide great sound quality for the DS Lite Console (with even surround sound available in certain games) together with the obligatory headphone socket for private play. The powerful speakers will immerse you in a world of vibrant sound effects and atmospheric music.

COMPATIBILILTY

The DS Lite has two separate ports, one allows for DS Game Cards and the other means you can still use your old Game Boy Advance Game Paks.
The GBA's entire back catalogue of games can be used on the DS LIte Console, providing you with access to hundreds of titles (single player mode only).

EXTRA FEATURES

The rechargeable lithium ion battery pack and recharger is very powerful and included with each Nintendo DS Lite. There is no need for extra battery packs as the one that is included allows for up to 19 hours of play on a single recharge, depending on the brightness setting used. The Nintendo DS Lite Console requires just 3 hours in order to be recharged to full capacity, which is one hour less than Nintendo DS.

The console also includes functions such as a clock, calendar and alarm, and you can personalise other details like the colour of the background screen, your birthday and your nickname.

Well Over 15 million DS Lite Consoles have now been sold. It is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games yet it’s small, sleek and light design makes it easier for anyone to game than ever before.

One of the most impressive features of the DS Lite is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console and reduces eye strain considerably. The DS Lite is available in many different colours including: Pink, white, black, silver, green and turquoise.

Another feature of DS Lite is the four brightness settings allowing you to adjust according to the lighting conditions and save battery life if playing in good light.
