The '''Nintendo DS''' was the fourth handheld video game system developed by [[Nintendo]] (fifth if you include the [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance SP]]). 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. | The '''Nintendo DS''' was the fourth handheld video game system developed by [[Nintendo]] (fifth if you include the [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance SP]]). 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 the same buttons as a SNES-controller, a D-pad, 4 buttons (A, B, X and Y) , 2 shoulder-buttons(L and R), the start- and select-button. It also has a microphone that's most used in the earlier games. The '''Nintendo DS''' was released in 2005. | ||

The '''Nintendo DS''' has a simpler and much older looking design than the others. The microphone is located left below the touch screen, right below the touch screen are two lights, one indicates that the system is turned on and turns red if the battery is nearly depleted, the other one indicates that a charger is connected. You can use this version to play [[Game Boy Advance]] games because it has a bottom input for cartridges, this input is also used for games as Guitar Hero. The '''Nintendo DS uses the same charger as the [[Game Boy Advance]]. | |||

The '''Nintendo DS Lite''' has not an old looking design as the original ('''Nintendo DS''') and still has the bottom input for [[Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] games. The microphone is located between the two screens.The '''Nintendo DS Lite''' uses a new charger, not the same as the [[Game Boy Advance]]. | |||
===Nintendo DSi=== | ===Nintendo DSi=== | ||
The '''Nintendo DSi''' has the same design as the '''Nintendo DS Lite''', but it has a camera on the front and has a camera on the inside between the two screens next to the microphone. This version has NOT a bottom input for [[Game Boy Advance]] games and you can't plays '''Nintendo DS''' games that use this input what's a minor point of this version. But there are DSi games ,that you can also play on the older versions, if you play them on a '''Nintendo DSi''' you have more functions thanks to the cameras. | |||

The '''Nintendo DSi XL''' is exactly the same as the '''Nintendo DSi''' but the screens are bigger. | |||
