I liked the thumbstrap in Mario, but I haven't used it at all since. Used the stylus in Metroid - much nicer 
Anyone got a DS LITE yet?
- Thread starter R^T
- Start date
I've got a standard DS. I made the mistake before of having a gameboy advance (original) and then buying the flipper with the screen brightness and better general feel.
I will not be buying a DS lite tbh - little things irk me - new PSU etc why????? (well yeah I know more cash).
DS is a good console no doubts - /me is waiting for Tetris!!!

Because usually the first time round is getting the first viable version of the hardware out.
Basically it seems they release the first version when it becomes viable, then when they can make a major improvement without increasing the cost they do it
You just have to look at PC hardware to see how it decreases in cost whilst increasing in performance/features/quality.
My guess is Nintendo had something like this in mind when they released the DS, but the costs involved were too great at the time, and they had to wait until they could streamline the production (although they might not have expected to be able to do it quite so soon).

Reckon you'd burn your retinas out if you had it on the top setting much! Even the lowest settings better than the old DS. Also the battery life on the top setting is meant to be equal to the current DS so if you had it on the lower ones you would get a good bit longer play time as well as a better screen
only 3 days till the Navy & Ice ones released in Japan to hopefully ease the shortage somewhat so NCSX can get my flippin Navy one shipped! Not holding my breath of it coming before Metroid and Tetris do though (March 20th)

I therefore place the task of taking pics and posting them to you.
Do us proud.
They feature the new ds in the latest episode of the 1up show if anyone wants to check it out.
