Video of DS and DS Lite side-by-side

It's a video of what may (or may not) be the DS Lite sitting next to an original DS. Could be fake, could be real, but the point here is that if this thing is actually as small as it looks, we're so in love. In fact, it's pretty safe to say we're in love anyway.

fake, yet pretty good, if you watch the lite closely you can see it move out of sync with the camera jitter.

I just wanna see it from the sides.

[carol79 @ Jan 30th 2006 9:47AM]

Finaly! The old one was just too big for my small hands, and a way to adjust brightnes was really missing on the old version!

[Gomer @ Jan 30th 2006 9:54AM]

Um, did you notice that the file name of that video is 'DS Lite CG'? Yeah, me thinks it's fake...

[Justin @ Jan 30th 2006 9:59AM]

I almost wish it was bigger. And had a grip to hold with one hand.

Why do I feel so alone in the world?

[evilwallpaper @ Jan 30th 2006 10:05AM]

it says its computer genterated in the title and in the description

is the screen that much bigger on the lite ?

[Space @ Jan 30th 2006 10:10AM]

"could be real" ?? It is specified "CG", which means it is not a real one... so why lie to your readers? what is the point?

The thickness is the main difference between the 2 consoles, and it is not shown...

[Ben @ Jan 30th 2006 10:12AM]

Whoever made that is quite skilled. Very nice.

[mike @ Jan 30th 2006 10:16AM]

Its fake, IMO because the damn thing jumps a bit when the camera zooms in. If you watch closely, you can see it jump right before the DS wipes the viewing area.

If this WAS real, and if they had enough time to pan in and out, and rotate it and make it all theatrical....it shouldnt look like crap.

[Shadyman @ Jan 30th 2006 10:19AM]

Yeah, the DS jitters, you can see it when the lids are closed and the camera's moving down.

[Anthony @ Jan 30th 2006 10:41AM]

Even the video description says

"Comparison between a cg DS Lite and a real Phat one. :)"

[E @ Jan 30th 2006 10:45AM]

I'm glad it's fake, and I hope the real one doesn't look like this. That would mean they were actually able to get the two screens farther apart....

[Timerider @ Jan 30th 2006 11:05AM]

Why does Nintendo come out with these redesigned portables. I have a DS and now this. I like it but I don't want to buy a new one. Also, if you already have a DS, How do you transfer your profile to your new DS? Mario Kart treats your DS and the game as a whole, so it's not supposed to work.

"Pretty mediocre photographic fakery, they cut off your brother's hair"

Next people are going to say this thing is the PS2P

Reminds me of the old Nintendo Dual-LCD games, Donkey Kong & such.

[knot_U @ Jan 30th 2006 12:13PM]

to #11, Timerider:
actualy you can transfer your profile to another ds, x-plore the menus, you'll find it,

PS. my MKDS name is knot_U if you've raced me before you know I'm a n00b XD

Um this is CLEARLY fake, just go to the email address that's displayed across the screen: http://doup.scenesp.org it's a CG animators website. Of course I have to say he's pretty good...

[Sam @ Jan 30th 2006 12:53PM]

That could be real, DS Lite is offical.

sam.......we all know that........

[Mike J @ Jan 30th 2006 3:14PM]

This video is a blatant fake,the DS Lite actually changes its angle on the table, if you look at the very start the bottom right hand site of the lite is behind the bottom right of the ds phat, and when the camera rotates, its lined up.

[Kamalot @ Jan 30th 2006 3:51PM]

You know, even though this is fake, it gives a much better idea of how the system may look. If it looks like this, I want it enough to sell my old DS!!

[Dan @ Jan 30th 2006 3:56PM]

No reflection on the DS Lite screen or case, end of story

[Vizion @ Jan 30th 2006 4:47PM]

That's definitely how the final product is going to look:

i like gba sp better than them all. (old school)

[[e-mail] @ Jan 30th 2006 10:17PM]

what kind of loser makes a fake video of comparing nintendo ds's, I'll never get that, ever

[Deets @ Jan 31st 2006 9:46AM]

#21. Yeah the Gba Sp is sooooo old school, man i had mine like back in 2004 when I was wearing my bellbottoms and dancing to disco. (end of Obvious Sarcasm)

This video is clearly fake, how a person could possibly get a mock up of the Lite, when its probably not even started production yet, I dont know. Also The DS Lite seems really pointless to me. Its like....barely 50g less weight...i guess nintendo fanboys were spamming the nintendo Forums with complaints that their arms were getting tired while holding the original DS.Point is, Lite is idiotic, DS is still cool tho.

[Cryos @ Feb 6th 2006 11:47AM]

@24,

Ninteno has officially released detailed images and dimensional specs. Armed with that information, it's relatively easy to create a mockup lite with CG that's accurately in proportion with the standard DS dimensions.

One one hand, it's nice that Nintendo releases hardware updates and improvements. At the same time, it's kind of a slap in the face to anyone who purchased the older, now out-of-date hardware.

Looks to me like they're mainly trying to apply the Revolution style to it. A kind of standardization in hardware marketing, if you will.

No but this is URLhttp://benheck.com/Games/Sony_projects/PS2p/PS2p%20pic%2018.jpg

[Leon Kennedy @ Feb 18th 2006 2:23PM]

Who cares if it is fake or not, the company is gonna release it anyway right? personnaly, i have 1 original, 3 pockets, 2 colors, 1 advance, and1 sp. Also i have a ds, but i could care less if ir is smaller or lighter, the system is still going to be the same right? it might be a good move though, becuase it seems consumers are in the mindset of "It's smaller, that must make it better" in Ninentendos thoughts also. but hey, i like my old clunker, and i always will, even over the psp.
