Currently my most prized possession to date, that I have the most Love for in my collection of everything that I own. Would have to be my Nintendo DS Lite that I got off of eBay. My Nintendo DS Lite will be used for playing my NDS and GBA games. While, my Gameboy Advance will be for Playing my GBC and GB games. I enjoy playing the Nintendo DS Lite alot, so what if the Nintendo Wireless Network was shutdown for the DS? It's fun for Offline Play, and I am sure Local Wireless works fine. Only downside to the DS Lite was it only can use WEP encrypted Wifi networks. But, the games/handhelds are all Region-Free up until the Nintendo DSi, so as long as a game isn't "DSi Exclusive". Pokémon Black and White are "DSi Enhanced", but are only Region-Locked when played on an Nintendo DSi, 3DS, or 2DS. So, they will play on any Region console of the Original DS or Nintendo DS Lite. You will only miss out on the Camera Features of the game's Online Video Chat. (Xtransceiver) Which is Useless now as Online was shutdown in 2014. An US Action Replay DSi still works on the Japanese DS Lite, too. (If you still have one, that is, Datel no longer makes it anymore)
Other Info about the Handheld:
The Nintendo DS Lite is rather very cheap to import into the United States, from Japan via eBay. An average console (usually without a charger and near dead battery) will usually costs about $6 usd, SAL shipping (takes between 2-4 weeks) costs about $7 usd; a total of about $13 usd for the console. as for the charger you can buy an 3rd party "Onn DS Family Charger" (Also charges your 3DS/2DS) for about $7 from Walmart. So you can get a decent and cheap DS Lite for about $20 usd.
