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, 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. The system was known as Project Nitro during development.

On March 2, 2006, Nintendo released the Nintendo DS Lite, a redesigned model of the DS, in Japan. It was later released in North America and Europe the following June.
