"In the DS, Nintendo has finally created a piece of hardware to match the quirky production aesthetic that has characterised its long line of games. Crammed with everything short of a tiny Konga drum, the Nintendo DS will challenge developers to take full advantage of its dual display, touch screen, wireless, and microphone capabilities. Sure, it's a bit on the large side and looks a little funky. But if every useful device with a crazy design got nixed in development, we wouldn't have helicopters or beer hats"
"With it's clunky design, oddball concept and inferior specs, the DS isn't likely to win over the hardcore gamers and gadget hounds lining up to embrace the PSP. But maybe it doesn't need to. The old Nintendo magic hasn't left the company yet."
"At a glance the DSi looks the same size as the DS Lite, but it's actually bigger and smaller. It's 2.6mm thinner but 5mm wider, while each of its screens has grown from 3in to 3.25in. As before, it's just the lower screen that's touch-sensitive and both retain the 256x192-pixel resolution. It feels more solid than the DS Lite, partly thanks to the higher-quality plastic casing."
