Nintendo DS TV Adapter Hands-On Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the two-screens-no-waiting dept.

Nintendo DS News writes "Lik Sang have posted a great hands-on article examining the new Nintendo DS TV Adapter. From the article: 'Both projects are converters displaying the image of your Nintendo handheld on Television sets. One is for the Gameboy Advance SP, the other is, more interestingly for the smoking hot Nintendo DS system.'"

    "Is there a market out there full of people who want to use their portable devices in the least portable way possible?"

    If the DS's (or GBA's) main selling point to you is "portable," then no. If it's "good games," however, then yes, there is always a market to play those good games on a television.

    "Good games" is why I have a GBA Player attatched to my GameCube, and why I'm worried about not seeing a GBA slot on the Wii.

    It looks just like the insanity they're trying to push with the PSP: a small camera pointed at the handheld's screen. Yes, there are DS games I'd be interested in seeing on a television, but this is not the way I would do it.

    I'll pass on this. Why would I want to sit a foot away from my TV to use this? Not to mention, I don't like the idea of getting fingerprints all over my TV screen.
