Nyko Charger Grip Lite for Nintendo DS Review

Besides simply improving the ergonomics of our favorite handheld, the Nyko Charger Grip Lite gives you enough juice for extended portability.  In normal use, we’ve practically never run into the “blinking red light” indicating that we needed to get in touch with a wall outlet.  Nyko also hit a home run by allowing you to charge both internal and external batteries at the same time.  While it does take longer to completely charge up, this is something you can do at night rather than impatiently waiting for it (a scenario I’ve found myself in one too many times).

One negative aspect to this grip is the extra bulk added, which is still about the size of a Sony PSP.  Unless you have a white DS, then this white grip might make your console look like a creamsickle or Oreo cookie.  Most people will find the extra comfort more than makes up for the additional size.  Once you try out the grip, I doubt you’ll ever have a “naked” DS ever again.

yeah yeah, all this is great info, but I see that it is nowhere stated that this thing has a very high tendency to overheat… mine is actually distorted right where the electronics are for charging the batteries because it heated too much too many times. and when I say hot, I do not mean warm. I mean hot to the point where it gets too hot to hold. if you want to buy one of these, either get rid of the batteries inside it and replace them with a proper battery pack, or don't use them.
