| Bottom line | The original GBA will still appeal to gamers on a budget, but its lack of illumination is a big drawback. | By including an illuminated screen, Nintendo has finally fixed the original Game Boy Advance's biggest flaw. | Despite some clever dual-screen gaming mechanics, the
Wii U's lack of compelling exclusive software and an overall unpolished user experience make it tough to recommend in its current state. | With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS. | Overall, the
PlayStation Vita is the most advanced portable gaming system ever made. While the price is deceiving because of a hidden cost, gamers are getting an impressively complete package right out of the gate. A healthy launch lineup is sure to provide something for every kind of gamer, and a large selection of digital downloads is available right now. |
