The Nintendo DS (sometimes abbreviated NDS or DS) is a handheld game
console developed and manufactured by Nintendo, released in 2004. It is
visibly distinguishable by its horizontal clamshell design, similar to
the Game Boy Advance SP, and the presence of two displays, the lower of
which acts as a touch screen. The system also has a built-in
microphone, and supports wireless 802.11b (Wifi) standards,[3] allowing
players to interact with each other within short range (30–100 feet,
depending on conditions), or over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
The name "DS" stands for both Dual Screen and Developers' System, the
latter of which refers to the features of the handheld designed to
encourage innovative gameplay ideas among developers.[4] The system was
known as Project Nitro during development.
In 2006, Nintendo released a redesigned model of the DS, named the Nintendo DS Lite.
