The '''Nintendo DS''' (sometimes abbreviated '''NDS''' or '''DS''') is a handheld game console developed and manufactured by [[Nintendo]], which was released in November 2004. It is notable for having two screens, one of them being a touch screen (for which a stylus is provided), which many games for the DS make use of. Since its release, the DS has been remade three times in the forms of the DS Lite, the DSi, and the DSi XL.

===Nintendo DS Lite===
The '''Nintendo DS Lite''' is the second iteration of the Nintendo DS, released in Japan on March 2, 2006, in Australia on June 1, in North America on June 11, and in Europe on June 23. The DS Lite is smaller and slimmer than the original DS, and has brighter LCD screens, a longer battery life (5-8 hours at max brightness, 14-19 at lowest brightness), a quicker recharge time, and a wider range of colors.

===Nintendo DSi===
The '''Nintendo DSi''' is a new version of the original Nintendo DS Lite. The DSi was released on November 1, 2008 in Japan, April 2, 2009 in Australia, April 3 in Europe, and April 5 in North America. It features two cameras: one at the front screen, and one at the back. Unlike the DS and the DS Lite, it does not feature a slot for GBA cartridges, though it does have an [[SD card]] slot so that one can share pictures with others using the Wi-Fi connection.
 
===Nintendo DSi XL===
The DSi XL is a larger version of the DSi. It has a 93% larger screen and longer battery life.
===3DS===
Unvieled at E3 2010, it is a DSi, but it can take pictures in 3D, view games in 3D, and watch movies in 3D.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

The Nintendo DS itself is represented in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' through the [[PictoChat]] stage. ''PictoChat'' is a feature on the Nintendo DS in which players can communicate with each other by writing messages (or drawing doodles) on the touch screen.
In addition, many fans wish to see a ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game for the Nintendo DS. Although both [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] seemed interested in the idea, they claimed that, for the moment, they were only focusing on ''Brawl''. No statements about a DS ''Super Smash Bros.'' game have been made since ''Brawl''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s completion.
Also, in the one of the backgrounds in the trophy hoard features a black Nintendo DS Lite, much like you could see previous Nintendo consoles in it's prequel.
