The Nintendo DS Lite (ニンテンドーDSライト, Nintendō Dīesu Raito) is a redesign of the Nintendo DS. Nintendo originally announced it on January 26, 2006 before releasing it in Japan over a month later and elsewhere in the world the same year.
Differences from the Nintendo DS[]
The system's most major difference is having a slimmer and more lightweight design than the Nintendo DS, as well as a brighter screen.
- It's roughly 42% smaller, and 21% lighter, while retaining all of its features and screen size.
- As opposed to the original's on-or-off backlight, the DS Lite's backlight is always on, and has four adjustable brightness settings.
- The aesthetics have changed slightly; the system is shinier, the speakers take up less room, and several buttons (and the microphone) have been moved around.
- The stylus has an increased size over the original DS system's.
- Due to the system's decreased physical volume, the Game Boy Advance cartridges protrude from the system. To create a seamless surface, a filler cartridge is included, intended to be placed into the Game Boy Advance slot when no Game Boy Advance game is being played.
Phantom Hourglass Limited Edition Bundle[]
A special limited edition Phantom Hourglass bundle was released both in North America and Europe, each one including a copy of the game and a Zelda-themed console. The North American version included a golden console with the Triforce, and the European version a silver console with the game logo and artwork of Link and Ciela. The European edition was limited to 1,000 copies.
