Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is DS Lite still the best or is DSi truely the new King? What do you think

Outside of a lower price, and GBA backwards compatibility, why would someone pick a the DS Light over the DSi? The DSi's battery life is shorter, but it recharges faster. Beyond that though?

Well, i use DSi camera a lot since i got it.Music player and voice recorder also useful too. :)

DSi has a music player and a camera, along with the games. Much better for road trips, and it looks better with the side camera. Of course, this is all opinion and subjective.

The DS lite has more battery. Your subjective opinion doesn't matter, the facts say DS lite rules!

All hail the DS lite, better, and longer lasting. Your foul trickery can't undo the truth of reality, sir.

 



I like both of em. Im getting a DSi next year. Got a DS Lite already. Both are good.



I like the DSi better actually. At first I thought it wasn't really useful but the bigger screens really make a difference. The support for DSi Ware is increasing and I really think it looks better.

Battery life really isn't that big of a problem: If you play on the fourth brightness level it only lasts like half an hour less than the DS Lite battery. It's just that the maximum DSi setting is brighter than the maximum DS Lite setting so you can't compare them.

DSL



Well, I prefer DSL over DSi, mostly because of BC.
But my favorite handheld is still PSP. Many thanks to homebrew though.



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

BTW, you guys should buy Mighty Flip Champs with your free points if you get a DSi... I know that the Art Style games, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, and Dr. Mario are all tempting but Mighty Flip Champs is something that only really would work on the DS and Way Forward is a developer who should be supported for making great things like Contra 4, Lit, Boy and His Blob Wiiware etc...

^ This is you!

DSi. If for no other reason than it has the best D-pad ever made by mankind. The DS-lite D-pad was a bit to loose for my taste.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true
