Almost every handheld gaming fan knows about the Nintendo DS and DS Lite, and most gamers have tried both. The DS Lite is one of the hottest handheld gaming consoles with its dual screen play and large number of true to life games. The DS odyssey began with the coming of the original DS console, which was further enhanced and then named the DS Lite. Let’s have a look at the gap which the Nintendo DS has covered in terms of quality and performance. The DS Lite console was a great improvement in real terms.

Below are the significant modifications that were made to the original DS:

• DS Lite is 21 percent lighter than DS.
• DS Lite has got extended battery life.
• DS Lite is more rough and tough. It has got stronger top and durable LCD at the bottom.
• Brighter LCD, up to four level of brightness.
• DS Lite has got a longer stylus, and is compatible with more efficient accessories like the Madrics NDSL Stylus Pen Set, both of which make the DS Lite easier to operate than the standard DS.
• The new D-pad is 16% smaller than the DS pad.
• The Start and Select buttons are smaller and have been relocated.
• DS Lite has energy efficient processors.
• New design keeps the dust, dirt and other debris away from the console.

No doubt that the DS Lite is much more advanced than the original DS. It is just near to perfect. Of course, the upcoming and recently announced next generation DSi, could even make the DS Lite obsolete. But until that time, the DS Lite still stands for durability, performance, flexibility and value for money.

SouthPeak games is ready to launch Ninjatown for the Nintendo DS in fall 2008. On one side of Ninjatown there is a towering active volcano, Mount Feroshi, and on the other side there is a dark mysterious forest, which houses several evils. This town will give you a feeling of any small town with small parks, houses and stores. Ninjas live peacefully and go about their daily activities such as napping and constant training to sharpen their martial art moves.

The goal of this strategic game is to build a number of different ninja units to keep the enemies at bay and stop them proceeding through the base. Before the enemies appear players should have a number of ninja units ready to combat the enemy before they exit the base. Each time the enemy is defeated the player wins cookies or currency which will be further used to build up and upgrade other ninjas. So the more enemies that are defeated, the more cookies are won. The overall strategy of the game is enhanced as the level progresses.

Some of the Ninjas are Wee Ninja, White Ninja, Anti Ninja, Master Ninja, Baby Ninja, wee Devil, Mr. Demon etc. Ninjas in Ninjatown are very cute looking characters that will certainly keep players amused.
