The original Nintendo DS has been upgraded and replaced and there are now three Nintend0 DS consoles to choose from. It’s easiest to think of them as Small (Nintendo DS Lite), Regular (Nintendo DSi) and Large (Nintendo DSi XL). We’re going to give you a full overview of how they compare.

The Nintendo DS Light (Lite) is the compact youngster of the family (the Pink DS Light is our favorite) it’s small, cute and pretty. Its big sister is the Nintendo DSi is just a little larger but a lot more sophisticated. The grown up of the family is the Nintendo DSi XL which has everything the DSi has and just a little more.

The Pink DS Light is the smallest at 133 mm wide, with 3″ screens.

The Pink DSi is next at 137 mm wide, with 3.25″ screens.

By far the biggest biggest is the more grown up Nintendo DSi XL at 161 mm wide with 4.2″ screens. This is a full 93% bigger than the DS Lite’s screens!

The Nintendo DS features

All three Nintendo DS consoles have -

Dual Screens
All the Nintendo DS consoles have two ultra bright LCD screens offering one of the most groundbreaking game play advances ever developed each screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings. The screens get larger as the NintendoDSs get larger until at 4.2 inches the DS XL screens are a whole 93% larger than the Pink DS Lite!

Touch Screen
The lower screen offers amazing touch-screen capabilities. Navigate menus or access inventory items, draw and even manipulate images simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

Microphone
Located at the center of the unit, a built-in microphone allows your Pink DS to pick up spoken commands in specially designed games.

Game Boy™ Advance
Only the DS Lite plays existing Game Boy™ Advance games (in single player mode only). Most, but not all, DS Games can be played on the Pink DSi and DSi XL systems.

Only the DSi and DSi XL

Two Digital Cameras
The Nintendo DSi system has two cameras – one camera is situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi Cameras feature 10 different interactive “lenses” that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends.

Rich Stereo Sound:
Nintendo DSi sound capabilities allow for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. Stereo speakers allow for virtual surround sound and a plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.

Nintendo DSi Sound
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or AAC music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.

Nintendo DSi Browser
Grab your stylus and start surfing and checking your emails with this intuitive and simple-to-use Web browser.

Facebook
Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system’s two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile.

Nintendo DSi Flipnote Studio
Flipnote studio is pre installed on the DSi so, become a master animator on the go! Create, upload, and share your own animations with the world.

DSiWare
Exclusive to the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL systems the DSiWare service, opens up a world of down-loadable fun. Discover unique gaming experiences from adventurous developers, and a range of fun and useful applications−all down-loadable wirelessly using Nintendo DSi Points™. Find it all when you connect to the Nintendo DSi Shop.

Games and Backwards Compatibility
In addition to down-loadable games, Nintendo DSi and DSi XL are able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The DSi and DSi XL can play most of the DS games published to date and going forward, giving players access to a library of many hundreds of games. Neither the DSi or the DSi XL is backward compatible with Gameboy Advance games.

Only the DSi XL

Extra DSi Software
The DS XL has everything the Nintendo Dsi has but, it also comes packed with three extra software titles pre-installed. These titles are designed to entertain and challenge users, as well as take advantage of the DSi XL’s unique features right out of the box. These include:

Whoa there, hold on!  Loads of people search Google for the “Pink DS Light” instead of the “Pink DS Lite”. It’s most definitely the Pink DS Lite (as in not heavy), rather than the Pink DS Light (as in not dark), but it is slightly confusing isn’t it?

Don’t like the Nintendo DS Light in Pink?

Here at Pink DS Light we love pink so, we write specifically about the  Pink Nintendo DS Light console but the information’s obviously good for any color.  These are your other color choices but there is also a Special Edition Red DSi XL available for Christmas 2010.

Should I upgrade from the DS or DS Light to the DSi or DS XL?

That depends on what you want to do and whether you have access to a wireless Internet connection. All the online features depend on your own wireless Internet connection so if you don’t have one or, you think you won’t use those functions, then you may not want to upgrade.

However the DSi and DS XL also have the dual cameras, sound studio and extra software – and of course bigger screens and more games and applications.

You need to decide if you will use the cameras, sound and Internet functions or if you just want to play games.

Don’t let the DSi and DS XL put you off your old Nintendo DS or the Pink Nintendo DS Light. They are all brilliant!

A surprising number of people search Google for the “Pink DS Light” instead of “Pink DS Lite”.  Aside from spelling, I think there must be a need for some explanation. This article should help to shed some DS Light!

This is a very brief summary for a full article see the Pink DS Lite and for an in-depth comparison of the different Nintendo DS consoles see DS Lite

The original Nintendo DS is no longer in production.  It was known simply, as the Nintendo DS.  The model number was NTR-001.

This has been superseded by 3 new models -

• DS Lite     (USG-001)
• DSi             (TWL-001)
• DS XL       (UTL-001)

Most people drop the i so we now have the new Nintendo DS Lite, DS and DS XL (you can see where the confusion comes in with the original DS!)

The best way to think of them is Small (DS Lite), Regular (DS) and Large (DS XL).

All three members of the Nintendo DS family have

• Two ultra bright screens
• 3D graphics capability
• Touch-screen technology
• Wireless communication
• The Nintendo WiFi Connection

The wireless functions allow you to play wirelessly with friends in the same room or, if you have a home wireless Internet connection, it allows you to play online.

If you’re not sure which model you have or if you have a problem with your Nintendo the company’s main website has a brilliant help page here Nintendo Troubleshooting and Repairs. This will also lead you through to support for Gameboys, Wiis, etc.

We love pink, so we write about Pink Nintendo DS consoles but the information’s obviously good for any color.  For information on each of the individual DS consoles see our other sites, Pink DS and DSi, DSi XL and DSi XL Bundle.  If you’re looking for something different you’ll find plenty of ideas for great Christmas gifts on Top Christmas Gifts for Kids
