Nintendo DS Video Game Reviews

Graduating from the Game Boy line of systems, you may have become much more interested in Nintendo DS video game reviews. The Nintendo DS is unlike any other handheld device on the markt due to a number of unique features. The most notable difference is the inclusion of not one, but two screens. Further still, the lower display is a touchscreen!

While originally sold alongside the Game Boy Advance, the Nintendo DS eventually came to replace it. From there, Nintendo started to introduce slight variants to the portable gaming system in the following years. The Nintendo DS Lite offered much the same functionality, including Wi-Fi access and a built-in microphone, but it came in a smaller and more efficient package.

Both the Nintendo DS and the DS Lite are designed like a rectangular clamshell. The top lid contains one screen, while the lower bottom portion contains the touchscreen display and all the other buttons and controls. By having two screens, one can be used for secondary functions like maps and inventory, while the other can be used for the main game-playing action.

Unlike other portable titles in the past, Nintendo DS video game reviews usually make mention of wireless multiplayer possibilities. This comes in three different ways. First, players can share a single cartridge and play a local multiplayer game with other Nintendo DS owners. Second, players can each have their own game cartridge and enjoy a more robust multiplayer action. Third, players can take advantage of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to play with online friends and opponents.

Some Nintendo DS games also make use of the integrated microphone. By speaking or blowing into it, gamers can interact with their games. For example, Nintendogs allows players to speak to their pets, train them or call their name. Feel the Magic XY/XX has a mini-game where players blow out a candle.

Getting even beyond Nintendo DS video game reviews, more and more people are getting interested in the Nintendo DSi. This may appear to be similar to the DS Lite, but it comes with even more features. These include dual cameras, SD card slot, and downloadable content. Thankfully, the DSi plays DS games too.
