The Nintendo DS is Nintendo's current generation high-end handheld. It features dual screens arranged vertically, a touch-sensitive screen for input, 3D graphics approximately on par with the Nintendo 64, and backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games.

The Nintendo DS Lite was anounced January 26th 2006. Many people complained that the original Nintendo DS was too bulky; Nintendo fixed this problem with the Nintendo DS Lite, making it much sleeker. There is some controversy over the new design not being a big improvement and not having any new features. It was released in Japan on March 2nd, 2006, and will launch in the US on June 11, 2006. The Nintendo DS Lite will have brighter screens than the original DS.
