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!

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.

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!
