Secret DS Lite Feature

Staff 30 Comments 1202 views Infendo

We all know that the Revolution has a super secret unannounced feature, but did you know the DS Lite also has an announced feature?

Over at GAF Forums in response to this question, “So just a simple yes or no. The rev has something cool still to be announced that you are aware of and we will like?”

A user who appears to be an editor for the official Nintendo UK magazine responded, “Absolutely. So does the DS Lite actually.”

What’s your guess on the feature?

Thanks Tim!

  1. Color+Online pictochat
    or
    VOIP

  2. – A New Splash Screen

    – Ability to choose different sound for the alarm

    – Built in personal organizer

    -Upgraded pictochat to be online, DS email & DS optimized online forums

    -Stronger range for Wifi

    -More scratch resistant screen

    -Stylus’s that are less likley to scratch the screen [think Kirby Stylus compared to the original pack-in stylus]

    – Better battery life

    – Built in hard drive for mp3 playback.

    -Ability to make games think that the lid is open even if the lid is closed so you can listen to game music with the DS closed in your pocket [electroplankton could benefit from this]

    – Screen brightness adjustment [like the micro].

    – Ability to send electric shocks to notorious ‘Snakers’ during Mariokart Wifi matchs – causing snaker to drop ds onto carpet, carpet then catches fire and snaker stops snaking.

    – internal cooling device for keeping of coldcuts or popsicles

  3. i would guess anti gravitational powers

  4. I’m guessing that you can download some retro games like you will be ablr to with the Revolution.

    How cool would that be?

  5. “- Ability to send electric shocks to notorious ‘Snakers’ during Mariokart Wifi matchs – causing snaker to drop ds onto carpet, carpet then catches fire and snaker stops snaking.”

    hahahahahah. Yeah.

  6. umm.. a secret feature?…wouldnt it appear in the full pdf manual that hit the net?…

  7. not saying it isnt possible, but could be a fake….since its not in the manual… unless its a separate attachment.

  8. I’m pretty sure it would be super easy to change the manual before it goes into print. I doubt that was 100% final.

  9. Only things i can fathom r the wifi pictochat and email features. In the Lite manual, there’s no change to the system menu, but they don’t show the setup menu much. The email could be hidden in there.

    And Silent K, it already has a brightness adjust! U adjust between the 4 bright levels by tapping the little sun icon in the corner.

  10. ^On the new DS or the old one?

    I think the secret is that it is an E-book. If you look at the recent pictures of the DS lite the system opens full so it is flat across and you see somebody holding it verticl and writing on it.

  11. HereticPB – the original DS has the brightness adjustment! It’s just hidden in the system menus instead of on a handy volume control style slider…

  12. It is not in the manual because it is probably an add-on . Maybe a MP3 player or something like that.

    It is not related to gameplay as it would make the old ds obsolete.

    Maybe he is refering to decals or maybe something just stupid

  13. Heretic, the sideways DS shots are of people playing the Japanese version of Brain Training, I believe. From what I hear, that’s how you hold the DS to play the game.

    Also, the old DS just has backlight on and backlight off settings, while the new one will have 4 different brightness levels.

  14. It PRINTS MONEY!!

  15. I think it’s probably some kind of revolution connectivity. They wouldn’t need to put it in that manual because it wont affect how you use the DS alone, only with the rev. Probably they will add a supplemental booklet, like the one that comes with WIFI games.

  16. Anyone else get an error message when you try to click on the Game Collectibles post?

  17. I will let everyone know when I get my DS lite in about 2 weeks here in Tokyo…

  18. “- Ability to send electric shocks to notorious ‘Snakers’ during Mariokart Wifi matchs – causing snaker to drop ds onto carpet, carpet then catches fire and snaker stops snaking.”

    I’d like the ability to send an electric shock to all the whiner wannabes who think snaking is cheating, even though a) it’s explained in the manual as a viable technique, and b) ANYBODY with skill and half a brain can do it.

    Case closed. 😛

  19. Maybe it’ll let you play multiplayer GBA games wirelessly?

    A hard drive would be pretty sweet too…or maybe a touchable top screen!!!

  20. drill function

  21. my ds brightness just turns off the light all together if i click on the sun… what’s this about 4 brightness settings?..

  22. listen to this:

    The dsLite and the Revo both have a secret.

    My guess is the dslite would be suitable as a controller for the revo. With the touch screen and all!

    ´when rev and ztp are released N´s got 4 pillars…. with 7 different machines!´

  23. “I’d like the ability to send an electric shock to all the whiner wannabes who think snaking is cheating, even though a) it’s explained in the manual as a viable technique, and b) ANYBODY with skill and half a brain can do it.

    Case closed. :P”

    Not this hot topic again. I can snake but why bother. Iwi don’t ne. I just stop playing when someone snakes bacause it makes the game SUCK ASS COCK. Your not better than anyone bacause you can do it. I already have a problem being able to RACE better than people and have them drop out and I don’t need to add the to the problem by SNAKING . Whats the point in playing a game with a “viable techniqe” when no one wants to play with you when you use it. Have a cookie and get a name anynomus.

  24. The DS Lite would be cool if it could play old school Gameboy and Gameboy Color games.

  25. any chance the secret could be to do with the white gba cart thats in the ds lite? its a bit too fancy just to be a dust guard right?

    surely im not wrong?

  26. (I still think the coolest thing would be if it PRINTED MONEY!)

  27. I think if you are gonna make a blog about someone’s comments you should check with that person first. It was my post on GAF so I ask you please take this down.

  28. “(I still think the coolest thing would be if it PRINTED MONEY!)”

    When I was a kid I always sed the Nintndo should print iyr like $20 bucks if you beat a game. Maybe $30 if ti was like Ghouls and Ghost.

  29. Web-browsing, Voice Chat, or possible downloading of past Ninty games onot a memory card of some sort that would insert into one of the 2 slots would be my guess.

    Personally I’d hope for the latter. It’d be a sort of precursor to the Revolution’s download and play service.

  30. ^__^ I’d really like if the New Ds Lite Would have the Play yan micro integrated in the system.
    so I can watch all my movies, films music and so on everywhere without spending any bucks for Ipod video, psp or what the hell
    ^__^
