DS MP3 Player hits sour note with one consumer |
Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: GBA
Ó
If you're still debating with your inner self whether to get a Nintendo MP3 Player for your DS or DS Lite, you might want to read this review first. The Nintendo MP3 Player is an accessory that turns the DS or DS Lite (also GBA and GBM) into a digital music player. It displays each song title information on the DS screen for easy selection. The Nintendo MP3 Player retails for about US$ 40.00. GameBrink gave the DS MP3 player a test drive and listed his likes and dislikes about it.
- Expensive. Since the accessory doesn't ship with a headset or SD card (which holds the songs), Gamer calculated total cost could run to about US$ 110 based on the following breakdown: Nintendo MP3 Player - $50, Headphones - $10 1GB SD card - $50.
- Clunky. The accessory protrudes by about an inch from the DS.
- Bad audio from DS speakers. Headphones are a must because the DS speakers "mangle any and all MP3Â’s."
- Limited MP3 Player controls. Basically "Play" and "Pause"
- No playlist. When songs are downloaded from a PC to the SD card they can be placed into group folders but it cannot make a playlist.
- Crystal clear sound. Using a headphone set plugged into the MP3 Player jack (not the DS jack), the audio "sounds perfect."
- Mario dances. There is an option to choose a thin dude or Mario to be your MP3 player mascot. Left and right on the D-Pad moves the character up and down steps to select the song associated with the current step. As a song plays tap ping the A button in different patterns will make the character do different dance moves. It even brings out friends on the vacant steps. "ItÂ’s amusing for about 5 seconds."
