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.

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. 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'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.
