And Trauma Center, plus put in an order for a copy of Phoenix Wright.

What can I say? I'm glad I didn't drop the coin on a regular DS or I woulda been pi$$ed when the Lite came out. So much smoother, sleeker, better-feeling. And Trauma Center is a great game.

DS Lite is totally worth the $130 it costs.

The grip of the DS Lite while playing intensive games is hard on your fingers. My thumbs get tired out when playing Mario Kart DS.

"Trauma Center: Under the Knife" looks like a very interesting game. I've had my DSL for a couple of months, beening playing it almost everyday. Thinking about getting Marion Hoops 3 on 3, Starfox Command, FF3, and Zelda when they come out. I have Big Brain Academy, Animal Crossing, NSMB, MKDS, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Metroid Hunter.

i got ds lite as well. i pick up used games from eb games/ gamestop whenever they have the game i need @ good price.


i currently play fifa 06/ new metroid game? (thats wifi), and brain age


brain age is awesome, fifa i love it playing career mode, and metroid im thinkin about returning it. not my type


yea its way better than psp but again i got psp when it first came out= not any good games out.


i play it before hitting the bed/b4 my gf calls, during school lectures (lol), when bored....

usually when i have break time between classes, or in class waiting for something...

Nice :thumbsup:

i used to do that with my ipod at work. sitting on the can playing solitaire. lol

i was going to buy a ds lite but it was too small for me, plus there weren't many games i wanted for it. also, i don't know when i'd play it. its not like i go on trips and i'd rather play on my 20" widescreen monitor at home.

Can the DS Lite connect to a wireless internet connection? Or just other DS lites?
Does it have an internet browser?

mario kart, super mario bros, and tetris ds.
easliy spend 200+ hours with those 3 alone... so consider it a wise investment.

I've got New Super Mario Bros, Mario 64 DS, and Advance Wars:Dual Strike. Of course everyone knows the first two are good, but give Advance Wars a try, it's really fun.

DS uses WiFi, which lets it connect to pretty much any open wireless network.

There will be an official Opera browser for DS coming out soon. It'll be sold in the form of a DS game cartridge.

Opera DS in action.

I got a ds lite last week. I'm really happy with it! I got trauma center yesterday and that is a really cool game, great use of the touch screen, it controls very well.

I also have nsmb and mario kart. MK online is tons of fun. This is a very tight little system and I'm looking forward to playing the different types of games that are out for it. So far I only play it at home while watching a baseball game, or on my lunch break. But this fall I will be travelling a bit and have more use for it. Highly recommended!

I'm working my way through Partners in Time before taking on Castlevania. Already beat New SMB, getting almost everything in the game. Sonic is fun enough, Mario Kart is great. Also intend to catch up on some GBA games I missed out on.

Honestly, the DSL is one of my favorite gaming purchases ever.

I wish they would release a GOOD RPG for the DS. Partners in Time was good, but I want something more RPGish than that.
