Modern handheld gaming has long been dominated by Nintendo and Sony. Each hardware manufacturer has multiple viable offerings derived either directly, or evolving from the respective DS and PlayStation Portable product lines. All of these devices are impressive multifunctional devices, with designs meant to encourage gameplay on the go, integration with the Internet, backwards compatibility to previous games, and so on, but each goes about this in different ways. Taking a few minutes to examine the main features, and getting more familiar with available options, accessories and possible limitations of each handheld is the optimal way to determine which is the best choice for a player.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nintendo DS Lite Red
Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2024
I cannot believe I am holding my childhood in my hands... I got my very first DS at 7 years old in 2006. I got mine red. It stopped working properly, so my parents had to return it and get me another one. I got silver since there were no more red. I loved it, but red was the one I wanted. I was still very appreciative. It was my go-to when I was depressed or bored. I'm 24, almost 25 now. I finally got the red Nintendo DS Lite I've always wanted. It's GORGEOUS, very shiny, clean, works amazing, ZERO scratches and feels brand new by the touch. It said it had a very slight scratch, but I checked it and there's none. I also didn't even need to charge it. I received it almost fully charged and it still has that nostalgic little opening sound. I'm literally in tears. Best gift I've made myself in such a long time. I recommend if you wanna relive your childhood. 10 stars.
