A Nintendo DS Lite

The Nintendo DS Lite is a redesigned, lighter and brighter version of the Nintendo DS, comparable to the Game Boy Advance SP being a redesign of the original Game Boy Advance.

Changes from the "regular" DS

  • Weight: It is about 21% lighter than the original which means its weight is about 218 grams.
  • 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 so as to make gameplay easier.
  • Smaller D-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 jut from the bottom of the smaller system, much as 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.
