What is the differences of a Nintendo DS Lite and a regular Nintendo DS?

Answer 1

the ds lite is smaller and the stylus (pen) is a little better. the screen sizes are the same on both. the normal ds isn't sold any more so youll have to buy it used

The DS Lite is lighter, smaller, and has an extended battery life. The DS Lite no longer has backlight control through the main menu; instead, the DS Lite has 4 levels of brightness. The Power Button is now a slider; the stylus slides into the sides rather than the top. The start and select buttons have been moved to the bottom part of the console. GBA games extend past the Lite's bottom edge due to their size.

Answer 2

The Nintendo DS Lite is the lighter version of the original Nintendo. It was discontinued in 2011 but is still available at retail stores. The Nintendo 3DS is the newest version offering 3D effects without the use of special glasses. Its games are backward compatible with older versions.
