The Nintendo DS Lite is a fantastic little bundle of portable electronic joy. I bought one a few weeks ago and I can honestly say it's awesome. There are some great games available and some amazing ones lined up.
Feature of the week
Star Fox Command Hands-on
One of my personal favourite games back in the early N64 days, lets see how the DS version shapes up."The game is very solid and looks great in action, running at a locked 30 frames per second during battles. The evolution of the Fox McCloud character might have changed for the worse, but the ship designs have definitely bumped up in cool factor"

Sweet Nintendo DS Lite Games Coming-up
Man, can't wait for these to be out!
- Mario Hoops 3-on-3
- Make sure to check out the videos, looks like a wicked-fun B-ball game that nicely incorporates the touch screen well.
- Panzer Tactics DS Preview
- This old-school tank battle game looks VERY cool. If it plays as good as it looks, this will be a great game, uses the dual screens of the Nintendo DS nicely too.
- Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin Preview
- Back in the days of the NES and SNES, I thought Castlevania was a lot of fun, the plot line, the atmospheric music and graphics the cool weapons...but I haven't played any of the N64/GameCube versions of the game, they didn't seem as good. The new version for the Nintendo DS (Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin) looks like it could change all this and recapture the enjoyment of the original game.
- Glory Days DS Preview
- It's looking like the Nintendo DS could be the ultimate hand-held system for strategy games. 'Glory Days' (working title) from the creators of 'Super Army Wars' look awesome, just check out the screenshots.
- Star Trek: Tactical Assault Preview
- Ok I'm not a major Star Trek fan, but they have had a few cool games based on the show and this looks like it could be another, certainly worth checking out.
- Final Fantasy III
- Arguably the best and most popular RPG franchise of all, Final Fantasy comes to the Nintendo DS with Final Fantasy III...and it looks very good.
