I remember older TV commercials for the Game Boy – one of the first portable and handheld Nintendo consoles that were ever made – and they were gearing the product for adult play with all sorts of cool adult games. The same thing, I have found, can be true for the newer portable Nintendo consoles, the Nintendo DS Lite. For many adults, word games and crossword puzzles are a mainstay to staving off boredom during long waits, bus rides, flights, and you name it. Well guess what? The Nintendo DS Lite has plenty of great word games and puzzle games to offer to adults. They even have other games that let you play golf and football, and plenty of other adult activities that you can enjoy. There are even some games that you can play online for free using your Nintendo DS Lite, simply by telling it you want to play multiplayer; the device will then log onto the free Nintendo wireless network and find a waiting player. So even if you are an adult, sometimes there are video games that you will truly appreciate, and Nintendo happily makes them!
