Nintendo DS Lite: Difference between revisions

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.
