Ever since it was released nearly one and a half year ago for Compact Flash cards, the GBA and NDS Movie Player has generated a lot of buzz in the press, and has been delivering fun to dozens of thousands of hardcore gamers throughout the world (rated in average, out of 461 reviews from unbiased customers). The new SD card version of the Movie Player is now shipping, and offers exactly the same functionality as the CF version, in a slightly sleeker design.

The Movie Player works worldwide with any Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP and with Gameboy Micro. All you need is a standard SD or Compact Flash card, a PC with a card reader (either built in or external via USB), and the GBA/NDS Movie Player with its included easy to use Windows software. There are also a couple of Internet web sites to download movies and trailers already converted into the proper format. One golden rule still holds true for both devices: whatever your PC can play can be converted to your mobile gaming platform!

With the massive popularity the Nintendo DS is enjoying, this gadget sure adds a whole new world of multimedia capabilities to the system. While even the largest cards are supported, the Movie Player is based on Windows DirectX, firmware is easily upgradable through your CF or SD card via a free download and it all works perfectly on any of the mentioned Nintendo handhelds sold worldwide. The coolest feature might be that the supplied Windows software converts files directly from DVD to the proper Movie Player format. Our dedicated Lik Sang forums host lots of tutorials and help here, including a Video Conversion FAQ and a thorough guide on the subject.

But that's not all: the Movie Player allows you to create your own content as well. On the forum, users can learn about how to create custom skins for example. The Movie Player even lets you listen to your favorite tunes while reading E-Books. Although easy to use, it offers vast possibilities if you want to enjoy movies, your own music and images on your Nintendo DS and NDS Lite. What could be better to complement your gaming bliss on the go than a versatile media addon like the Movie Player? Spring is here, take all your entertainment outdoors!
