OVERVIEW:
The Nintendo DS Lite is an improvement over the original Nintendo DS in several ways. The screen now has four levels of brightness, the lowest of which is even better than the standard screen light of the original DS. The microphone is now located at the center between the screens, instead of the bottom-right corner. The Start and Select buttons have also been relocated.
The DS Lite weighs less and is sleeker and slimmer than the original model. Also, the feel of the buttons was changed to a softer, more traditional feel, rather than the clicky buttons of the original DS.
Dual Screens: Two super-sharp, backlit LCD screens offer a new approach to gaming. The possibilities are limitless - one screen can be used to show the main action, while another might be used as a map, inventory, or secondary viewpoint - or both screens can be used simultaneously to depict huge boss characters!
Touch Screen Technology: The lower screen utilises Touch Screen technology for a true hands-on experience. Draw pictures and send them to your friends with PictoChat, control the on-screen action with extra finesse, or navigate menus instantly at the touch of a fingertip.
Backwards Compatibility: The system features two separate ports, one for DS Game Cards and one for Game Boy Advance Game Paks. The system is compatible with the GBA's entire back catalogue of games (playable in single player mode only).
Microphone: All systems feature a microphone port, allowing you to communicate with your friends in selected games, as well as interact with the game environment in brand-new ways!.
