DS Lite now bundled with hypnovision
If you stare long enough into the Hypnotoad's eyes, you'll only find madness. But, in a lot of ways, it is a beast similar to the DS Lite.

We imagine she could enjoy playing her DS through a zombie apocalypse, the way she's so absorbed by the dual-screened platform.Check out the video past the break.
