*Total price for the Nintendo DS (Red) Mario Kart Bundle are estimated and may vary slightly based on exact tax, shipping, manufacturer rebate or any sale/promotion on the merchant site.
The good: The Nintendo DS employs innovative dual-screen and microphone-enabled gameplay without load times on a higher-resolution display than Game Boy Advance SP while remaining backward compatible with older GBA games. The inclusion of Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities and a touch screen allows for a growing list of original and fun games that you can't play on any other system.
The bad: Third-party support for the system hasn't matched the originality and ingenuity of Nintendo's games, and multimedia potential remains exclusive to Japan. The system is quite bulky. The much more stylish and comfortable DS Lite is available for the same price.
The bottom line: While it lacks the multimedia and graphical finesse of the Sony PSP, the feature-packed Nintendo DS is a worthy successor to the Game Boy Advance--but the new and improved DS Lite is available for the same price.
Pros: This combo comes with a game and many decals for your ds that the original package doesn´t come aslo Mario wart wrist strap, 2 stylus...AND WI-FI

that´s the only problem, but this bundle is a great acquisition because you are getting a game and the system too for a low price and for nintendo fans means a lot of hours playing with they favorites nintendo characters and remember all the time they spend in previous mario kart since snes til NGC and you get cool decals for decorated your DS and also you can enjoy it online, with wi-fi compatibility so you can be at the mall playing mario kart with a lot of people or you can play it with your friends in local, which is another plus.
Another cool feature is the mic and the touch screen wich I recomend for it you buy an screen protection so you don´t scrach it, because many games uses full advantage of this touch screes and the mic, for example in mario kart in the battle mode you have to BLOW your ballons by the mic or in viewtifull joe you have to split the screen for do some tricks.
So I strongly recomend you protect your screen before start playing any games...
Sound: the sound is outstanding, you can use the buitl-in speakers (in wich you can feel the stereo and soundaround very good) or the headphone, by the way buy I good pair of headphones I use I Sony MDR-EX81LP Bud-Style Stereo Earphones (White) wich sounds great.
Graphics: the graphics are great after a saw resident evil 1 on the ds, looks better than the play 1 version and runs smoothly. You can´t compare it with the PSP but I can give it an 8 of 10, cuz they are very nice and real.
For me is my first expirience in handhelds has been the greatest, I also tested a friend´s psp, but it takes too long for the game to load, besides it´s greats grafics, sucking games and hell expensive. I don´t hate the sony, because I also have a play2, but theres no way I´m gonna pay that much money for playing and alone.
In final I can say that I like very much the DS...and will have it for a long time...the are many titles to come very good and for all ages...there´s a new way of spend time with your kids...jejejejeje....
