Nintendo DS Lite Metallic Rose
This pretty pink Nintendo DS was the perfect choice for a 10th birthday gift for my bookish granddaughter. She is a well-rounded child who enjoys outdoor play, pulling two younger sisters in a wagon, cooking, music, family activities, writing, art, and reading. But because she is six years older than her closest sibling, she also appreciates quiet time alone. Nintendo DS fills this time wonderfully. Educational and fun games make this another tool for enrichment.
nintendo ds lite great for 6 year old
I bought this for my daughter's 6th birthday- she loves it. It is easy to use, comes with a charger and the stylus (in a great little nook within the unit so she does not have to keep track of it.) We bought the protective filters as well, which I think was a good idea as she taps a bit hard and fast sometimes. I also bought her a couple of games to go with it. She totally loves the Petz Dogz Fashion (only needed a little help with words the first time she played with it- spends hours on it without any help now.) The Imagine Babies also needed only a little help to start, but, after the first day, only plays with that for a bit here and there.
Gift to Grandchild
This game product must be pretty good because all the grandchildren like it very much
Great for All Ages!
I have 4 small grandsons and purchased this for me!!! I am absolutely hooked!! I purchased the Breast Cancer Awareness one and love it. It does not collect any fingerprints and the screens are easy for me to see and the buttons are perfect in size. I play the puzzle games and one of my favorites is the Million Heir. I saw the TV commercial and bought the player and game because of it. I also have the Jewel Quest games and 7 Wonders and Solitaire Overload. I fully recommend this game player and the cartridges that you choose. A great product for all ages!!!!
Nice choice
Easy to learn, very intuitive games and many choices. What I like the most is the life of battery.
Just Perfect
I needed this item for my daughters b-day. The ordering and receiving my product was perfect and fast! No hassel at all and the item was just perfect. So as you can see I was VERY Pleased with my purchase in every way..
GrandKids
I purchased 2 DS Lite's for a gift to my twin grandsons so its a bit hard to give a review. I have another grandchild and he got a DS Lite for his birthday and now all three kids fight over the one, so my review would be that my grandchildren love the DS Lite and who's review would be more important than that. Now each child will have his own DS Lite.
Great for both young children and adults: 4 + stars
This compact video game system from Nintendo appeals to many of the same people who love Wii. Its sleek case (it comes in a variety of colors) slips easily into a backpack or handbag or jacket pocket. The flip top opens to reveal two screens, an integral part of many games for the platform, and, depending on the game, can be used horizontally, vertically, or flipped for left-handed users. The controls are accessible and easy to understand. With both a mute button and a headphone jack, parents in particular will appreciate the option of silence, or at least, silence for those around it. The DS comes with a spare stylus, a rechargeable battery (with a partial charge out of the box), and a charger.
Several adults in my family and I bought this primarily for the Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! series that "trains" brains to work more efficiently. The game runs the users through a series of math problems, speed reading, mazes, and such that are timed, then recorded in a progress report. These exercises are excellent for challenging the mind in a culture where we too often sit and let information happen to us. For this reason, the DS Lite makes an excellent gift for adults who fear losing their memory or reaction time.
All in all, I like the DS, although I find the selection of games still too limited. It's a sturdy, flexible, pocket game system that, with the right games, is a heckuva lot of fun.

Best $130 I Ever Spent On A Gift
What can I say? It is a Nintendo DS Lite. Kids love them, they are made very well, are very durable and provide an endless amount of various types of fun for kids, teens and adults. The wide array of games available for this handheld system is great and Nintendo fully backs up their products, so no worries there either. I bought both of my daughters a DS Lite and they are by far one their most prized posessions.
An UnGamer's Game System
I am a girly-girl UnGamer. I'm intimidated by button combos, bewildered by cheat codes (where's the fun in THAT?), and a little terrified by the vast array of first-person-shooter and sportsy games out there. Since I'm also terrified of real guns and real sports, this isn't especially surprising. Things that do NOT terrify, bewilder, or intimidate me include crossword puzzles, trivia games, "sim" games, and Zelda. All of these things are, fortunately, available for the Nintendo DS Lite.
The DS Lite is perfect for the UnGamer - the person who thinks of gaming as a way to pass the time while on the bus or on a coffee break. Many of the games that are available for the DS Lite require only a stylus to interface, thus eliminately the need to remember tedious button combos. If you can use a pen, you can use the DS. The graphics on the games thsat I've played range from very good to breathtaking, and the sound effects mostly lack that piercing quality that drove UnGamers like me crazy when our little brothers got their first GameBoys.
A huge number of accessories are available for the DS Lite, but other than buying a couple of plastic game cases and a few extra styluses (stylii?), I haven't found the need to buy any. The DS Lite is, as the name suggests, lightweight, but is nevertheless sturdy enough to survive the last month and a half in my purse with keys, pens, half-eaten granola bars, and a quarter pound of loose change. The finish is iPod-shiny, and therefore smudges easily, but has so far proven scratch resistant.
There are hundreds of games available - thousands, if you count the GBA games that DS Lite is compatible with. As an UnGamer, I've stuck mostly to games like Nintendogs, Electroplankton, The Sims, and a few old favorites like Tetris and Zelda. There's definitely something for everyone here, including language and weight-loss training, dog obedience tips, and cooking lessons. As I've gradually gotten more into my DS, I've discovered such addictive time-wasters as Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, and games like Brain Age and Flash Focus have become part of my regular morning routine.
So guys, if you're desperate to get your UnGamer girlfriend into gaming, the Nintendo DS Lite is the perfect gateway drug. Heck, I'm even thinking of getting a Wii soon!
Great Kid Gift
Purchase for my 7 yr old son-what a great gift! It is giving him the incentive to complete his work and help out with little things(like picking up after himself).
An 11-Year-Old's Thoughts About Nintendo DS
My daughter says, "I really like it. The thing about Nintendo DS that I like the most are the games you can get for it because there's lots of very great games out there. I'm particularly a fan of the animal games you can get for it."
My son loves it!
My son loves it. This is his second one because he pretty much wore out the first one. Lots of great games for the system (my son's pretty picky about games). And now I have a wireless router the ds picked it right up now my son can play with different people from all over.
