DS Lite
Manufacturer: Nintendo
Review Type: Looky
Version: Promo Shots
Pretty much every gaming site on the planet is abuzz with the redesign of the Nintendo DS. This sleeker, Revolution-styled version of the handheld is going for the high-end electronics look that the PSP sports.
My biggest gripe with the original design had less to do with looks than with the controls. The d-pad feels cramped and isn't suitable for many 3D platforming games, like say the console's best selling game Super Mario 64 DS. I've griped about this before, but even a game like Super Mario Kart DS kills my thumb after even short amounts of play.
So, while I'm impressed with the sleek, new lines that the DS Lite draws, I'm remaining sceptical until I actually touch the machine. I'm guessing that will be in May.
The DS Lite will be released in Japan in March
