As many of you may know, the Nintendo DS is the newest of all the game units. This sleek technology is an advancement
far behind the Game Boy era. And now I shall to you about: The NINTENDO DS!!!
Graphics:
Rating - 10/10
The graphical power of the DS is almost expected after knowing about it for such a long time, but it still wowed me when
I first tried it, and it still does. Falling in between the N64 and GCN, it showed that Nintendo does understand that graphics
matter. 3D gameplay simply couldn't be possible unless the graphics were impossible. Now, like 8 years ago, the dramatic lead
from 2D to 3D in a new market shows great potential.

Well the Nintendo DS has a perfect shape and can fit nicley into a pant pocket or whatever! Also the screen was made awsomely!
No more scratches! Unless you get a nail and stream it down your DS, which no one in there right mind would do! The screen
isnt as big as a Gameboy Advacne screen, but all the features and 2 screens, makes up for 1 BIG screen.

Now apart from the DS being a game playing unit, it also come chocked full of features! For one thing, Pictochat. Pictochat
is an IM program inside the DS, you can have up to 16 people in 1 room and can be up to 100 feet away from the person! But
later in the future, Nintendo says that pictochat may be going to the internet! Built-in Wireless adapter is a huge help,
now you dont need to buy one. It comes with it already! Voice Regination is kinda cool, there arnt any games out yet that
use it, but when one does... YAH!!! Alarm Clock is in there to, and there is also and thing where you can.... well dont listen
to me! You gotta try it to beleave it!!!
Value:
Rating - 10/10
All I can say is that is really cheap for the price! The unit is worth well over 200$. But Nintendo knew how fast this
thing would sell so there was no need for the higher price. And they were 100% right. All I can say is that 149.99$ is the
perfect price fot the Nintendo DS.
Overall Rating: 10/10
All I can so to those people ussure if they want a DS or not. I am telling you buy one! When you play your first game
it will change your output on Hand-held games!
