At $129, you get a pretty good system for your buck.

The Nintendo DS Lite has the following advantages over the original DS:

- It's smaller and lighter.

- Brighter screen, with 4 brightness settings. (Original has 2, on/off).

- The power button has been moved to prevent accidental shutoff during play.

- Start and select buttons have been moved to reflect the layout of more popular console controlers, making for easier play.

- Microphone has been centered.

- Larger stylus for better grip.

- Stylus holder has been relocated to make it a little more discreet.

- Smaller directional pad.

- Triggers on back even with case, as opposed to slightly extended on the original, to prevent accidental triggering during game play.

- All buttons are more pronounced for easier play.

- Longer battery life, although dependant on brightness settings and is decreased with Wi-Fi usage.

- "Weather stripping" over the game port to prevent dust damage, also allows game cartriges to fit more snuggly.

- Lite available in White, Coral Pink, and Onyx black; Original available in Electric Blue, Red, and Silver.

Here's a list of games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_DS_g...

Whether they are good or not depends on what you like. But many get great ratings. I personally like the Super Mario Brothers games and Brain Age, but there are many, many more to choose from.

you will detect a used DS lite for $one hundred thirty new and in step with threat $80 used yet once you get in basic terms a difficulty-loose DS it would fee $one hundred fifteen new and $60 used there is no difference in video games merely length so purchase the unique DS

Ithink if you dont have a nds then yes. The real difference is the lite is briter and comes in cute colors like white and pink which is really a hit for us girls. Games on the lite are brainage,new supermario,and final destiny 3. those were just some. Is it worth getting? That I dont know

the ds lite has a light i think so you can see the screen better.

it's lighter, smaller, and brighter (a lot brighter!). i think it also has a better battery. my friend's younger sister has one. i like it better than mine!

other than the look of it, its size, and it's screen, there's really no difference.

it lighter and you can hold it while you play it so when i bought one i can feel the different alot..
