Nintendo DS Overview
System
With Nintendo DS, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, while built-in PictoChat software gives you the power to draw, write and send messages wirelessly. Nintendo DS revolutionizes the way games are played.
Dual Screens
Two LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed.
Imagine the possibilities. In a racing game, you might see your own vehicle's perspective on one screen and an overall track view on the other. Soon, games could be created allowing you to play games on one screen while sending text messages on the other.
Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.
Touch Screen Technology
The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities.
You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations.
The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

DSi FeaturesThe Nintendo DSi has a similar appearance to the Nintendo DS Lite, the second DS iteration. The console has two larger TFT-LCD screens at 3.25 inches, instead of the former 3 inches. The handheld has two VGA (0.3 megapixel) digital cameras. One on the internal hinge pointed towards the user and the other in the outer shell. In addition to the cameras, the DSi has an SD card slot behind the cover on the right-side of the handheld adjacent to the stylus holder. The power switch has been replaced with a power button, such as the original DS had, but provides extra functions and is located next to the bottom-left side of the touchscreen. Volume and brightness is adjustable on the left-side of the handheld. The DSi has five brightness settings compared to the DS Lite's four. The DSi has a matte surface to prevent fingerprints from appearing, as opposed to the more glossy finish of the DS Lite. |
