Nintendo DS Lite Crimson & Black with Brain Age 2

pokemon DS lite:
My 10 year old son was so excited he told me thank you 500 times. Not only does he LOVE that is was pokemon but it has graphics that are great!He loves it!!

Zelda:
My son loves Zelda and was surprised to get the Zelda DS at Christmas. He loves it!!! If you have a Zelda fan, they will love the Zelda game and DS!

Very pleased:
I'll have to disclose up front that I am a huge fan of the Zelda series. That said, Phantom Hourglass is the sequel to Wind Waker which was released on Gamecube a few years back. In fact, this game is the reason I wanted to purchase a DS in the first place. The game was great fun and the limited edition DS with the triforce is perfect for someone like me. Highly recommended for the Zelda fanatic on your list.

The kids love it...:
We got this for my daughter as a Christmas present in 2007. She was 6 at the time & very capable of using this. My son who was 4 1/2 was also able to use it. It's been a year now & the DS has held up great. They both love it & play it all the time. My daughter really enjoys the Nintendogs game that came with the bundle & she plays that all the time as well. My only complaint would be about the game itself not allowing multiple users. My son would like to play that game but my daughter won't let him play with her dog. It would be nice for them to both be able to have their own pet & it be saved to a profile of their own. Our solution was to get him his own DS for Christmas this year. Overall though, the whole family enjoys playing games on this DS & we would highly recommend it. The puppy print on this particular DS is really adorable & it makes it unique.

The DS is a huge hit with my 7 year old!:
The Nintendo DS is a great thing. We are homeschooling, and have started using it for that! This bundle was okay--I misunderstood that the included "free gift" was a DVD--I thought it was a DS game. In any case, my 7 year old said it's his best Christmas present EVER! :-)
