The Nintendo DS Lite (Japanese: ニンテンドーDS Lite Nintendo DS Lite) is a redesigned, lighter, and brighter version of the Nintendo DS, developed by Nintendo, comparable to the Game Boy Advance SP being a redesign of the original Game Boy Advance. Like its predecessor, the Nintendo DS Lite is a dual-screen, Wi-Fi enabled, touch-sensitive, Game Boy Advance game compatible, handheld game console. It was announced in Japan on January 26, 2006 and was later released on March 2, 2006, before being released in North America on June 11 and in Europe on June 23. Its successor is the Nintendo DSi.

Changes from the original DS

  • Weight: At a weight of 218 grams, it is about 21% lighter than the original.
  • Size: 133 mm × 73.9 mm × 21.5 mm compared to the original which was 148.7 mm × 84.7 mm × 28.9 mm
  • Backlight brightness can be changed, but it cannot be turned off. It has four settings, from dimmest to brightest.
  • Battery life: At the lowest setting, the light will let the system run consistently for about 15-19 hours. The higher the light, the shorter the battery life.
  • Thicker stylus and sturdier hinges make gameplay easier.
  • Smaller +Control Pad.
  • A different charging adapter, which is incompatible with that of the Game Boy Advance SP and original DS.
  • Power button has been changed into a switch on the right side of the system that must be held.
  • Game Boy Advance games protrude from the bottom of the smaller system (about 1 cm), much as Game Boy and Game Boy Color games do on the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP.
  • Microphone position moved from below the bottom screen to the center of the hinge.
