Amazon.com Product Description

Modern handheld gaming has long been dominated by Nintendo and Sony. Each hardware manufacturer has multiple viable offerings derived either directly, or evolving from the respective DS and PlayStation Portable product lines. All of these devices are impressive multifunctional devices, with designs meant to encourage gameplay on the go, integration with the Internet, backwards compatibility to previous games, and so on, but each goes about this in different ways. Taking a few minutes to examine the main features, and getting more familiar with available options, accessories and possible limitations of each handheld is the optimal way to determine which is the best choice for a player.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Nintendo DS Lite Limited Edition Red Mario with New Super Mario Bros. (Video Game)

Since Nintendo orignally came out with the Nintendo DS back in 2004, it fully brought in a whole new way we play video games on the go. Since then, gamers everywhere have been rejoyced with with video games that have been now recognized as classics like Super Mario 64 DS, the addictive puzzle game Meteos, and the addictive mental challenge of Brain Age. But, there have been also a lot of great bundle packs that also have been made like back in 2005, when the original DS was made with the fast and furiousness of Mario Kart DS. But that also could in 2006 when Nintendo remade the DS, into the popular DS Lite, which also delivers top notch gameplay, and the ability to play against other gamers online. Now, just in time for the holidays, a pair of special Nintendo DS Lite bundle packs have been made to make your favorite gamer happy on the go.

The new Nintendo DS Lite in a limited edition Red is a sleek and conveint system that is specially designed for hard core Nintendo fans everywhere of their favorite plumber, Mario, with the classic M cap design on the DS Lite. The bundle pack also includes the widely-popular and addictive New Super Mario Brothers which was released back in 2006. The game is one of the most challenging and welcomed games released for the DS library, and returns with Mario going back to his 2-D side-scrolling roots, as he goes all out trying to rescue Peach a.k.a. Princess Toadstool from the clutches of Bowser and Bowser Jr. The game is not just fun and entertaining, but also includes new challenges and power-ups that are addictive including the mega-mushroom which can turn Mario into a giant, and the specialy turtle shell, which can make mario turn move like the koopa troopas he used to throw to knock his foes out cold. The game is fun and is beautiful in not just the graphics, but the gameplay as well.

While die hard Nintendo DS gamers are anxiously awaiting the upcoming release of the new Nintendo DSI which will be coming out sometime in 2009, they'll just have to do with the Nintendo DS Lite in the meantime. Also at around $150, the Nintendo DS Lite with New Super Mario Brothers is a great and entertaining game and video game system that will bring fun and wonderful joy hours on end for anyone who is looking for a new video game system for their favorite gamer, or anyone who is a hard core Nintendo fan.

This is one of the best systems my boys absolutely love! This also has the Mario logo in front plus the game at an amazing price! Great deal! Way to go Amazon! I didn't have to go out on Black Friday and freeze to get this at an even lower price!

5.0 out of 5 stars a good little system, November 28, 2008

This review is from: Nintendo DS Lite Limited Edition Red Mario with New Super Mario Bros. (Video Game)

Being a gamer for 20 years, I've seen my share fair of systems come and go. Although I was skeptical of the DS at first, seeing it as a gimmicky handheld with nothing new to offer (aside from that stylus functionality), I grew quite fond of it after my friend's constant nagging to get me to try it.

Games like Brain Age give you something different, but the best part for me is the abundance of awesome 2D games. The Castlevanias, Contra 4, Sonic Rush, Megaman ZX, and more are part of the grand renaissance of old school games (along with all the offerings on Xbox Live Arcade and the other consoles).

Of course, if you're looking for some quirky games taking advantage of the stylus and whatnot, they got you covered, too. WiFi multiplayer and Game Boy Advance backwards compatability are just icing on the cake.

I put off buying it for awhile, since I'm pretty happy with my PSP, but I couldn't pass up this bundle. One, it comes with New Super Mario Bros., an excellent side scroller that you can play again and again (though it's no Super Mario World, in my opinion). Two, Amazon sold it at a lower price than certain retailers, with Free shipping and no tax, and it shipped out a few hours after I bought it! So no Black Friday madness for me (this came out on the 11/28/08, the day after Thanksgiving...)

And the Mario design doesn't hurt things at all ; )

So overall, good system, even better bundle.
