The Nintendo DS is a handheld game console developed by Nintendo that came out in 2004. It has a clamshell design featuring two LCD screens. The bottom screen is a touchscreen which is used with a stylus. In 2006, Nintendo came out with a Nintendo DS Lite, which had a brighter backlit screen and was smaller and lighter, hence the name Nintendo DS Lite.Then, on November 1, 2008, Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi.

The Nintendo DS was the first system by Nintendo to use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, people can play with gamers all around the world, and can register them as a friend via the Friend Code system. Several games made use of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, including the fourth and fifth generation Pokémon games, Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing: Wild World.

With over 130 million units sold worldwide, the Nintendo DS is the best selling Nintendo game system, and the second best-selling game system, only behind the PlayStation 2. This number includes the several redesigns, but does not include the Nintendo 3DS system.
