Prettier than the picture August 17, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I was dissapointed when I could not get one while I was in Japan then a year later here they are. It is much prettier out of the box. Pictures do not do justice to the art on the front. The gold and silver arn't just metallic, they have a glittery glimmer that you cannot see in the picture. I'm very satisfied with mine, even more so now that I have seen one outside the box.
Such An Amazing System! July 18, 2008
I didn't mind paying the extra money to get it later than what it was offered on Thanksgiving.
For people like me that like nice and shiny stuff with a zelda symbol on it, this much resembles it. I like how everything is gold. It makes the DS feel much more smoother (Unless it really is). I even like how it included the Phantom Hourglass game with it (Which by the way, is amazing also).
Other than that if you want to pay for the extra money, then this is worth it. I like it 5 out of 5.
 DS is fun for kids but not good for eyes July 7, 2008

I got this gold color DS for my 7-year old son as birthday gift. This is the only toy that he still plays after couple of months and still loves it. Since his cusien came to visit with a white DS to share with him for a few days, my son started to ask for one from time to time. It seems it becomes a must-have for today's kids. I played it a little but didn't find it so insteresting, for sure kids have a lot of fun with it. I do noticed that the screen, image, and font are quite small, that may harm eyes if playing for longer time. Now I have to discipline my son for DS play time since I found he often cannot consentrate on homework when he plays DS too much.
 Metallic Rose no longer a "special" color..... July 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just wish I knew this "Metallic Rose" color would be available as a standard color before I bought it though...I feel a little cheated because I originally wanted the pink but opted to pay slightly more for the "limited edition" factor that made it a little unique compared to the pink. It didn't help that I just bought mine about a month ago either... and only got to be unique for five seconds LOL... luckily I didn't pay that much more but still it stings a little. The little "paw emblem" is not enough to make this version unique, it was the RARE C0LOR it "had" but I learned my lesson, I'll never get sucked into buying something from big companies like this because it's limited or whatever. Once it sells and starts raking in the dough for the company, it will no longer be limited. That's just how big companies are.
As for the Nintendo itself,,,, I love it! I play it all the time and never get anything else done anymore. It's definitely a fun system with lots of game choices available. I am probably addicted to it. I think it's worth the price too... considering how much use I've gotten from it already! I hope they continue making lots of games. I also love the whole touchscreen aspect.
My only complaint is that I think it's stupid that we need to power off the entire machine anytime we do anything or change a setting on the Nintendo instead of just being able to restart it or something.
Also, the microphone doesn't seem to work very well. There are certain games that require voice input to play and a lot of them have problems understanding or hearing me correctly or will just cut out sometimes.
NINTENDOGS:
The game that came with this system was cute but I could see people getting bored with it quickly. I had fun with it for the first week or two and then I was dying for another game. It was also the only game I had at the time so that helped force me to play it more than I probably would normally. As far as a simulation game though, it's pretty good and could be very close to having a real puppy (but not really of course). My five year old seems to love it so that's that.
Quality Control's getting rather lax over at Nintendo... June 15, 2008

I stayed up til 3am waiting for this to go on sale, as I am a huge Zelda fan and my black DS lite was a dying refurb that had a cheap, blurred, yellow screen. When I received the gold DS and turned it on, it blasted me with a painful shrill tone that wouldn't go away no matter what I did, and so I immediately had it repaired by Nintendo. What I got back was another blurred, yellow screen (that part WASN'T EVEN BROKEN), and the shrill didn't completely go away. I don't even really play it much anymore, just keep it as a collector's item.
As for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, I pretty much hated the game for the fact that the integral part of the plot requires you to do a particular dungeon over and over where you hide from invincible monsters in corners and die for either taking too long or inevitably getting caught. Were it not for this one horrible idea taking up 50% of the game, it would've been decent. There's really no replay value unless you like that one bad aspect and want to play it in multiplayer (one person plays Link, the other plays the invincible monsters).
