| 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, being the successor to 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, making it similar to the [[Nintendo 64]] in terms of graphical capacity. The DS also introduces a feature known as sleep mode, where one can close the console and preserve its battery life, and in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', closing the system is accompanied by [[Mario]] saying, ''"Bye bye!"'' The DS (and by extension the {{iw|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 {{iw|nwiki|Game Link Cable}} and {{iw|nwiki|Wireless Adapter}} support are missing. Similar to the {{iw|nwiki|Game Boy Micro}}, the DS and DS Lite cannot play games made for the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]]. In early 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 [[Wii]], Nintendo's products would be released in the region through the newly established Nintendo of Korea. | | The '''Nintendo DS''' is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. It features two 3" screens, (one of which being touch sensitive). It also introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup such as stereo sound, audio input (microphone) and 3D graphics. As with previous major Nintendo handhelds, the DS also provides backwards compatibility for [[GBA]] 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.

| | ==Nintendo DS Lite== |
| | A newer model named the '''Nintendo DS Lite''' was released in 2006 and contains all the features of the original Nintendo DS with some new features such as a significantly brighter screen (with four adjustment options), a lighter weight, and a smaller overall size (having the negative side effect of regular [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge protruding out from the bottom, similar to playing a Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridge in the Game Boy Advance). |

However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pack, which was used with titles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface are added. It will also be able to download games from the Nintendo DS Shop, stored on an SD Card or in internal memory. It was released in Japan on November 1st, 2008. The Nintendo DSi will be released in North America, on April 5th, 2009.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/Q5D4ti_bPqJO_I0Oup0AMFudaUOLz6C7</ref> and in Europe two days before, on April 3rd, 2009.

| |
| 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. Additionally, the console supports WPA encrypted networks.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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. It was released in Japan on November 1, 2008, in Australia on April 2, 2009, in Europe on April 3, 2009, and in North America on April 5, 2009. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi. In 2009, Nintendo later released the [[Nintendo DSi#Nintendo DSi XL|Nintendo DSi XL]], with the "XL" standing for "Extra Large". It is also the heaviest of the four models.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20090219091810/http://www.nintendo.com//whatsnew//detail//Q5D4ti_bPqJO_I0Oup0AMFudaUOLz6C7|title=Nintendo DSi launches April 5 in the United States|date=February 18, 2009|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

The instrument is often used in conjunction with the Nintendo DS touch screen. Usually, the stylus is used to make menu selections, which the player can accomplish by bringing the stylus in contact with their selection on the touch screen. The stylus is often helpful or required in gameplay. For example, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' require the use of the stylus for [[Mini-game|mini-games]] such as [[Wanted!]] and [[Roach Smash]], and the stylus is also necessary to make [[Mini Mario]] toys [[jump]], in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. |

| |
| The plot of ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' revolves around [[Wario]] obtaining a gaming console resembling a Nintendo DS and using it to market new [[microgame]]s.
| |
| | |
| A Nintendo DS appears in some of the microgames. In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', it can be seen in the [[Stylus Hunt|Pushing Buttons]] microgame. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', a Nintendo DS appears in the [[microgame]]s [[Brain Age]], and [[Wario Hunting]] as one of the possible baits. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', a Nintendo DS appears in the second level difficulty of the [[WarioWare (microgame)|WarioWare]] microgame.

| | |
| ===''Mario Kart DS''===
| |
| One of the battle courses in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' is the [[Nintendo DS (battle course)|Nintendo DS]]. It is a nod to the [[Nintendo GameCube (battle course)|Nintendo GameCube]] battle course from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', as it is based on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. A picture of the original DS can be seen on some of the billboards in [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]].

| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Shroob]]s call [[Shroob saucer|saucer]]s by using a silver, flip-top communicator. Because the Nintendo DS has the capability to send verbal messages to friends, this may be a reference to the Nintendo DS. Additionally, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] is shown to own a [[DS time radar|Nintendo DS with an apparent time radar]] he used to locate [[Princess Peach]] at the beginning of the game; he later uses the DS to operate the [[Hydrogush 4000]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the [[Emoglobin]]s that run [[The Gauntlet|the Gauntlet]] and [[Cholesteroad]] are shaped similarly to the DS systems. Additionally, [[Dark Fawful]] uses a device that resembles a Nintendo DS to track down the [[Dark Star]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Paper Mario''===
| |
| ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' includes a computer console called the [[Dining Specializer]], which is modeled after the Nintendo DS Lite (and can also be abbreviated "DS"). There is also a two-screened handheld that resembles a Nintendo DS known as a [[Training Machine]], which the fortune teller [[Merluvlee]] wanted to use to train her brain (which, in turn, is a reference to the popular DS title, ''[[Brain Age]]'', known in British English as "Brain Training").
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Strikers Charged''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Strikers' Times are shown on the Touch Screen of a Nintendo DS Lite.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party DS''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', when the player defeats [[Bowser]] at the end of the story mode, the five [[Sky Crystal]]s join and form something like a crystal Nintendo DS, unlocking [[Triangle Twisters]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', one of the names that can appear upon pressing the random button when naming a custom stage is "DS". There is also a [[stage]] called [[PictoChat]], based on the Nintendo DS's pre-installed communication application of the same name; the emblem used for this stage is derived from the two squares that replace the letter "O" in the Nintendo DS logo. A music track used in the stage, also titled "PictoChat", uses the emblem as well and features sound effects from the Nintendo DS and [[Wii]] menus as well as the ''PictoChat'' application. Additionally, in the Trophy Hoard, a black Nintendo DS Lite can be seen in the background with the presents.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country Returns''===
| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', if left idle for long enough, [[Donkey Kong]] will pull out a Nintendo DS Lite to play a game.
| |
| | |
| ===''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''===
| |
| In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', [[Luigi]] uses a device called the [[Dual Scream]] to communicate with [[Professor E. Gadd]]. The Dual Scream is based on the Nintendo DS, being the equivalent of the [[Game Boy Horror]] (based on the [[Game Boy Color]]) that Luigi uses in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
