Nintendo DS

The Nintendo DS (sometimes abbreviated to DS or NDS) is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 2004 in Canada, the United States, and Japan. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS also features a built-in microphone and supports wireless, allowing players to interact with each other within short range or online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. This was the first Nintendo console to be released in North America prior to Japan.
