Pros Decent Library of Games, Fantastic List of Upcoming Titles, Unique Features, Innovative...

Cons Weaker Graphical Capabilities Than the Other Consoles, Many Bad Games

Recommended it? Yes

Cons Maximum display is 480p, the controls still need a little tweaking.

Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has always tried to be an innovator with gaming in the console world. A lot of their stuff have been flops from the very beginning. Remember the robot that originally came with the system? Virtual boy was a cool idea but the market just wasn't ready for it yet. The glove (which could be... Read full review »

Cons Price.

Recommended it? Yes

Nothing is cooler to a little boy than owning a Nintendo DS Lite and my 5-year old son really loves his! This has not only been entertainment for him, but for the rest of the family as well.
