There have been a number of different Nintendo DS models such as the original, the 2DS, 3DS or DS lite. These have now been superseded by the Nintendo Switch hand held consoles, but is there still a market for the DS. Although you cannot buy these new anymore, you can buy them second hand and still get the games for them. Overall, they are a good little console. They are not comparable to a tablet as although you can get the internet on them it is very slow and clunky to use. The graphics are not great but when you play the types of games that were designed for the DS you will realise that you don’t need to have superb graphics.

All Nintendo consoles tend to work in similar ways and the graphics tend to be very similar. If you look at the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo Switch you will notice that they still have a lot of similarities.

The Nintendo DS is a great console and it is also very robust, so is good for you get children who may be more inclined to drop it. If you do opt for the 3D version be sure to check the recommended age and do not let them, go on it for too long.
