The '''Nintendo DS''' was the fourth handheld video game system developed by [[Nintendo]] (fifth if the [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance SP]] is included). It had two screens (hence "DS," meaning double screen), the bottom of which being a touch screen. Players can use the stylus (a pen looking thing) to do actions on the bottom screen. It has a similar button layout/style as the SNES-controller; a D-pad, 4 buttons (A, B, X and Y), 2 shoulder-buttons (L and R), and Start & Select buttons. Additionally, the DS also has a microphone attachment to interact with certain games. | The '''Nintendo DS''' was the fourth handheld video game system developed by [[Nintendo]] (fifth if the [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance SP]] is included).
