Recently, I had the pleasure of splurging on a Nintendo DS Lite with my birthday money. Let me say, it is one hell of a system. Just like Glen, this is my first system I’ve had in a long time. My last system was the original Game Boy Advance, which is so old now it’s missing its battery cover.
The DS Lite looks very nice. I didn’t like the look of the original DS so I didn’t want to get it last year. I’m into the sleek, minimalistic look, thanks to Apple, and the DS Lite has it going on. I’m not ashamed to carry it around in front of people with PSPs.
I didn’t feel like waiting for the other colors to come in the US, so I went ahead and bought the white one the day it came out. EB Games decided to get only enough DS Lites for people who reserved it. Best Buy was nice and had a lot in stock. All I had to do was go to the cashier and they’d get me one.
Originally, I had planned to get both New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age. When I was at Best Buy, I decided to get just New Super Mario Bros. because my mom would be paying for it seeing as to how I had barely enough money for just the system.
New Super Mario Bros. is a really addictive game. It’s amazing how easy the bosses are yet how hard the levels are. I can’t wait till I meet up with others with DS’s. Pretty sure that’ll be fun.
