Edition: Ice Blue with Brain Age and Case

Amazon.com Product Description
Nintendo DS Lite revolutionizes the way games are played with ultra-bright dual screens and touch-screen technology. Connect wirelessly to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and put your skills to the test against players across the room or across the world. With impressive 3D rendered graphics and ultra-bright screens, Nintendo DS Lite delivers cutting-edge portable games for fans of any genre. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.

Included in this limited edition bundle is an Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite, a carrying case, and the Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! game. A little about Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! - Inspired by research conducted by Professor Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist, comes Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!  Professor Ryuta Kawashima's theories revolve around keeping your brain “young” by performing certain mental activities quickly through a series of minigames.  Activities include performing simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, and reading classic literature out loud.  When you start a new game, you will take a series of tests and get a score that shows your “DS Brain Age."  As you use the software, your in-game Brain Age will drop. You can keep up to four save files on one Game Card – sharing a game allows you to compare your results with those of family and friends.  You can also send a demo version of the title to friends or compete with up to 16 players in a battle to see who can solve math problems the fastest! (Both downloadable modes are local wireless only, not on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection).

Features:

System:
With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.

Lighter. Brighter. With dual screens, a touch screen, wireless gameplay and more.

Double the fun with two screens.

Dual Screens:
Two incredibly bright LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:
Ready to take on the world? Now, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can connect wirelessly, chat and play with Nintendo DS owners across the globe. All you need to play is a Nintendo DS and a Wi-Fi-ready game. There are no subscription fees -- the service is free!

Touch Screen Technology:
The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities. You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations. The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

Microphone Port:
A built-in microphone port means that with Nintendo DS, you only need to tell your games what to do. The Nintendo DS microphone gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games.

Wireless Network:
With Nintendo DS Lite, you can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.

Note: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.

Rich Stereo Sound:
Nintendo DS Lite 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.

Backward Compatibility:
Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money!!, November 30, 2008

By	Loveface (WA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I just got this on black friday and can barely put it down! They call it ice blue but really it is tiffany blue and the case has a patent finish. It's cute enough to carry in my bag without it obviously being a video game. The case holds three games, the console, and an extra stylus.
The brain age game is surprisingly fun. The daily trainings don't take very long, but there are a lot of sudoku puzzles to pass the time. The voice and handwriting recognition are pretty accurate, and I didn't expect to see them in a console at this price point. That being said, you really can't play this game for more than 30 mins so definitely pick up another game when you get this.
My only complaint with this set are that I don't see any battery indicator. The game just cut out while I was playing. (Correct me if I missed it.) Still, at such a low price, it's a ton of fun (and I'm in my 20's) and really nice looking!

5.0 out of 5 stars The coolest color and case yet!, November 28, 2008

By	D. Shields (Scottsdale, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I just bought this item in store and am so happy that I chose this over the red Super Mario edition that just came out in conjunction with this one today. The Brain Age game might not be worth as much $$ as the Super Mario game, but the finish on this DS Lite is the BEST yet. You can't tell by the pictures, or, even the box, but when I took it out, I was shocked, it's GREAT. It's a super light ice blue with this thick clearcoat over the top and it is just bananas cool. WAY cooler than any of the metallics that look neato but kinda scratch a little. The matching ice blue patent carry case has cool (no pun intended, ha) silver zippers and closures. If Tim Gunn played Nintendo DS Lite, he would definitely have this version.

5.0 out of 5 stars GORGEOUS COLOR! BRAIN AGE NOT A DEMO GAME!, December 2, 2008

By	iluvslugbugs07 "Mom of 3" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

My husband grabbed this for me as an early Christmas gift. I'm addicted to Brain Age (which is the FULL game!) While visiting my Mom she fell in love too & said she's going to get one. The case it comes with is just to CHA-CHA for words; holds 3 games & an extra stylus. I'm typically a "pink" kinda gal but I have to say this color is just too amazingly beautiful. The images don't do it any justice.

Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!!!
