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 [[:Category:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]], and backwards compatibility with [[:Category:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] games. However, it lacks compatability with the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Game Boy Color]]. It also has microphone and wireless Wi-Fi for multiplayer play. The DS stands for ''Dual Screen'' and ''Developers System''. In November 2005, Nintendo introduced Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to the DS, the first system to have this. This allowed gamers to play eachother all over the world in games such as [[Mario Kart DS]] and [[Tony Hawks: American Sk8land]].

The [[Nintendo DSi]] is able to connect to an online store called the DSi Shop. Here, using a Nintendo Points Prepaid Card (previously known as Wii Points Prepaid Card), users are able to download '''DSiWare''' games and applications to the internal memory of the user's DSi system. The applications are either free, or cost 200, 500, or 800+ (marked with a "Premium" tag) points. A DSiWare trial campaign offered 1,000 Points to each DSi that accesses its shop application. This trial expired entirely by the end of March [[2010]].
