Nintendo Lites up my life!

June 1st! DS Lite day for me! Picked it up and I'm really liking it. The screens are uber bright. I turned it on and thought it was pretty bright, and then found out that there was an even brighter setting. Pretty awesome. It was heavier than I was expecting. Feels solid. And it also came with Brain Training (Demo) packed in. I read a whole lot of comments over at www.dsfanboy.com about how it wouldn't recognise when they said "blue" but I had no such trouble. It has pretty awesome handwriting recognition too, so I may look into picking it up when it comes out, but...

The wait begins for New Super Mario Bros. Hanging out to play that. And aparently there's a competition with nintendo.com.au where you get a code in the box to win stuff, pretty cool.

My mate Alex bought MP:Hunters the other week, I played it Tuesday and it was pretty OK. I went pretty crap, but then he's played it for more than I have... my neck hurt pretty bad after playing it for a bit though... will have to try again with the Lite. Another cool feature is the stylus. It's a bit bigger, not much, but it makes a difference. The tip is also a bit bigger, and I've found it glides across the screen much better.
