Mario Kart, here I come!]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
Looks a lot like a baby iBook. =)]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
The hinge - the DS hinge automatically snaps to a few locations. This one looks like it can go to any angle you like. confirm on this?

wireless reception - I live in a fairly big house and my room is a good ways away from the access point. My iBook receives the signal just fine, but I can't say the same for my DS. Better or worse on this one?

GBA slot - looks like there's some kind of placeholder in the GBA slot in these pictures. Is that just to preserve its look? is that going to be included with the DSL?

the buttons - are they bigger? or do they just look bigger because the DSL is smaller?

I especially like the horizontal stylus-holder on the back, which oddly, nobody has pointed out yet.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
The trim around the screen looks to be poorly fit and they still have those sloppy-looking square fillers by where they screw the top together.

My current gen seems fine still.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
Where did the pics come from?]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
the DS Lite will look slick with a nice glossy shiny white paint job when if you buy one, i promise. man, these pics are terrible.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Nov 15th 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/According to the announcements, all the insides will be the same, so no on the expanded WiFi range.
GBA slot is definitely still in. What you see there is a "plug" included with the Lite that goes into the front to preserve the smooth look.
I can't imagine the hinge would be changed, but there hasn't been any official info about it.
And finally, to some previous posters: Obviously, the lighting of the pictures isn't perfect. Don't expect the real units in yellowy plastic. I'll bet these will look quite nice.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
I mean, seriously, this looks like a student-produced prototype, not a second-gen production model from the worlds-leading handheld gaming company.

I'm sure it functions fine, but I'm just talking asthetics and attention to detail here . . . . just too many mold lines, seams and sloppy fit. That stuff matters to me when it comes to things I drive, display in my house, or hold in my hands.

Ok. Rant mode off.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/
The stylus is in the back, along the side. Slot 2 has the serial numbre above it. And to the right the battery housing.]]>Feb 8th 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/Feb 8th 2006 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/08/nintendo-ds-lite-live-shots/so don't worry, be happy and the plastic, weather it looks like'it'll snap in halve or whatever I'd say it's extreamly hard to figure this out with just a photo of the device
so yeh don't judge it till You've seen it in person , or someone relieable whos seen it in person has has told You what they think

and as previous posters have stated the stylus slot is on the back of the DSlite (right hand side in the middle)

also the power button, as many sources have stated is on the side of the DSlite, (one of the two sides that haven't been shown yet)

um yeh, looks great
