Portable games consoles are a big hit of the past years, as teenagers are attracted to the idea of not having dead times while traveling from point A to point B. You might think that those consoles are not very advanced, but you’ll be very wrong, as both Sony and Nintendo have already released several versions which improve one upon the other.

One such portable games console is the Nintendo DS Lite, a 20% lighter version of the Nintendo DS. It features two screens, the lower one with embedded touchscreen technology. It has two slots, one for Nintendo DS games, one for Game Boy Advanced game packs.

You can choose a model that suits your style, available colors being: Metallic Rose, Light Cobalt, Onyx Black, Crimson, Metallic Silver. If that’s not enough for you you can find a lot of Nintendo DS Lite accessories including carrying cases, protection cases, cables, adaptors and so on.

Now about the games, they’re not what you know from the times of Donkey Kong and Super Mario. Thanks now to dual processors, 3D gaming on a portable console is possible. Oh, and portable doesn’t mean you have to rush to an outlet once a few hours, as the Nintendo’s DS Lite battery is rated for 19 hours of continuous play time.

One of the most interesting features of the DS Lite is the WiFi connection, which coupled with special games makes multi player and chat sessions possible.
