Even Newer Handheld

backin-strachan · 26/Jan/06, 07:14 PM

Nintendo have made a new handheld. Dont worry if you just bought a new DS. If you thought that couldnt get any smaller well its about to
NINTENDO DS LITE
is just a shortened down version to fit in the tightest of pockets. Bit like GBA to GBA SP

What's the obsession with companies shrinking their products?

PS2 re-released as Slimline PS2.
Xbox controller re-released as a smaller version.
GBA re-released as GBA Micro.
And now this.

Money-grabbing mofos.

Just another way to make kids ask their parents to buy a slightly visual upgraded version even if they have one already.

Hopefuly the older version goes down in price so I can pick it up.

RollerCoasterRider · 27/Jan/06, 06:27 AM

I think this is pretty cool.

Depending on the price, and how much I can get for my DS, I may go buy one....

WACCOE · 27/Jan/06, 09:14 AM

Just a money-grabbing ploy really.

Still looks pretty cool though!

Will_90 · 28/Jan/06, 04:30 PM

well unless they improve the console greatly i wont be buying. i got an original one. played it for about a month and then sold it and imported a US PSP. So worth it aswell. The DS it okay i suppose but its not the best.

sharplayer · 29/Jan/06, 10:58 PM

The PSP in my opinion is much better, not even talking about the graphics

mjmaskrey · 29/Jan/06, 11:09 PM

Well I won't be getting a PSP or DS....played on both but they hurt my left hand alot, and I mean shooting pains, when trying to use the D-Pad/stick and left shoulder button....don't think they're designed for a shovel-handed Adonis

Did you seriously want to stick with the duke? from xbox 1?

AfroJoe · 06/Feb/06, 09:04 PM

Haha, well, seeing as I never had an Xbox, that was an issue which never bothered me.

smileemptysoul · 09/Feb/06, 03:08 AM

Bigger is better. you wouldn't by a small truck with no torque why would u by a handheld thats small it makes no sences

AfroJoe · 09/Feb/06, 04:32 PM

Because the point in a handheld is that it's portable.

What's the point in making a handheld if it looks like and weighs as much as a brick?

In the case of portable, handheld consoles, bigger definitely isn't better.

WACCOE · 09/Feb/06, 09:52 PM

Plus, i'd want it so that it can fit in my pocket ideally. Why I don't own a handheld.

backin-strachan · 10/Feb/06, 01:06 AM

Id have the original DS over the new LITE though. I thought the Original was thin enough
