| The '''{{wp|Nintendo DS}}''', or simply the '''DS''', is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. The Nintendo DS is Nintendo's fifth handheld system; its predecessor is the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It features two three-inch screens. "DS" stands for "Dual Screen" (though, at its conception, it was intended to stand for "Developer's System").<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170828215003/http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3904/p/606|title=Nintendo DS Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> The system introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup, including a resistive touchscreen, visible operating system GUI (in the form of the main menu), stereo sound output via both the built-in speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack (a first for Nintendo handhelds, which previously sported a single mono speaker despite supporting stereo through the headphone jack), audio input via a pinhole microphone, and wireless connection capabilities. It is also the first Nintendo handheld to natively support 3D polygonal graphics as opposed to only sprites. The DS also introduces a feature known as sleep mode, where one can close the console and preserve its battery life, and in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', closing the system is accompanied by [[Mario]] saying, ''"Bye bye!"'' The DS (and by extension the [[nwiki:Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]]) provides backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games (though this does not work with the [[Nintendo DSi]] models), although only limited to single-player experiences as the [[nwiki:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]] and [[nwiki:Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] support are missing. Similar to the [[nwiki:Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]], the DS and DS Lite cannot play games made for the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]]. In March 2011, the Nintendo DS received a successor, the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

| The DS is the first Nintendo system to include wireless functions, allowing it to link up with other DS's without any wires or add-ons. This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online, via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], of which ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' was the first to utilize. Since May 20, 2014, online play for many Nintendo DS games has been discontinued due to the closing of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140227060752/https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw|title=Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo DS and Wii to end in May|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=February 26, 2014|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> Conversely, the DS is Nintendo's last system to be distributed in South Korea through a third party licensor, specifically {{wp|Daewon Media}} (who also handled the South Korean releases of the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]]).<ref>{{cite|url=scanlines16.com/en/blog-3/retro-gaming/game-cube/gamecube-korean-master-list|title=Gamecube : Korean Master-List !|publisher=Scanlines16.com|accessdate=January 5, 2024}}</ref> Starting with the [[Nintendo Wii]], Nintendo's products would be released in the region through the newly established Nintendo of Korea. | | The '''[[nwiki:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]]''' is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. It features two 3-inch screens, one of which is touch sensitive; "DS" actually stands for Dual-Screen. The system also introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup such as stereo sound, and audio input (microphone). As with previous major Nintendo handhelds, the DS also provides backwards compatibility for [[Game Boy Advance]] games (though this does not support multiplayer). |

| The Nintendo DS retains the {{button|ds|pad}}, {{button|ds|A}}, {{button|ds|B}}, {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|gba|start}}, and {{button|gba|select}} buttons from the Game Boy Advance and also includes the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons, so it has all of the same buttons as a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller. | | The DS is also the first Nintendo system to have a built-in wireless connection, allowing it to link up with other DS's without any wires or add-ons. This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online (''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' being the first Nintendo-made online game), using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. |
| | |
| | The Nintendo DS had the {{button|ds|A}}, {{button|ds|B}}, {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|gba|start}} and {{button|gba|select}} buttons from the [[Game Boy Advance]], plus 2 new buttons which are the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons. |
| | |
| | Before the official name's release, Iris was the first codename for the handheld that would be the successor of the Game Boy Advance. Later it was called Nitro when the new device created had two screens. |
| | |
| | The Nintendo DS (including DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL) sold 128.90 million units as of 2010, making it Nintendo's best selling video game console. <ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e1103.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/04/nintendo-ds-is-now-best-selling-console-ever-in-us/</ref> In February of 2011, a successor to the Nintendo DS, called the [[Nintendo 3DS]], was released. |

| A third model, called the '''Nintendo DSi''', was first released in Japan in December 2008. It is thinner, lighter, and brighter than the Nintendo DS Lite, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot. However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak, which was used with titles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', alongside other peripherals which used the slot, cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added.

| The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop, which are then stored on an SD Card or in internal memory.

Additionally, the stylus is often useful for touching precise points on the Touch Screen during gameplay. For example, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' use the stylus for [[minigame]]s such as [[Wanted!]] and [[Roach Smash]].

Blowing into it will allow events to happen in the game that the player is playing, such as [[Toad Jump]]. In other games, the player must say words into the Microphone. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the player must clap into the mic to gain inspiration from the crowd in Long Jump and Triple Jump.
