Nintendo DS

What is a Nintendo DS? It probably has the same graphics as a GBA an they sell at $200 :shock: ...also, what does DS stand for, lol

Its Nintendo's latest handheld thing. GBA has awsome graphics, and it makes me sad that 2D gaming will be drawing to a close

DS stands for duel screen. It can display 3D and do some other random stuff

it stands for Developers System too.

and for "double screen". nintendo DS has awesome graphics (better than nintendo 64) and has some nice extras too:

1. 2 screens
2. "touch screen". in some games you can press on the screen to make things happen (you get a speciall pen with the DS)
3. "pictochat". A feature that is installed to your DS automaticly. Chat with other DS users through a wireless linkup (50 metres range, or something).

and more!


some games that i know:

super mario 64 DS- just like the old game "super mario 64" but you can play multiplayer! (mario, luigi, wario and yoshi)

metroid prime: hunters- i dont know much about this game... but i know that multiplayer is included. and it looks alot like metroid prime itself.

The PSP is the competition against the DS, not the other way around. DS was announced first and Nintendo have complete control over the handheld market
