The original Nintendo DS Lite has been thrown in the bin and what we've been left with is a sleek, stylish, mean machine that works really well and has plenty of gaming scope.

All Nintendo DS Lite comes with region free support and multiple languages allowing you to swap and change and play games from any country – who knows as well as working out your thumbs you might even improve your foreign vocabulary.

The Nintendo DS Lite has four brightness settings and at its brightest it sparkles with vivid colours, as if it’s been stroked by the high-definition brush. Nintendo DS Lite has two tiered screens, of which the bottom one is touch screen. But if you find it all feels too flimsy under your fingers there is a stylus which is thicker and longer than the original and surprisingly while the Nintendo DS Lite is smaller than its big brother the screen is still a decent size at 5.25 inches wide. The stylus also doubles up as a doodling pen, if you get bored of games you can use it to draw a picture and you can send it over to a mate and bring a smile to their face.

The Wi-Fi system on the Nintendo DS Lite is great - without having to set anything up the machine automatically spots when you’re close to a network. And this facility allows you to play multiplayer with up to 16 people on a local network – nights out down the pub could have a whole new meaning now.
