 Nintendo_DS (Vacilando.Org)
The Nintendo DS, (abbreviated DS or NDS), is a dual-screen portable handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo.
Nintendo hopes that the new features present in the machine will provoke unique game development, attract developers, appeal to both older gamers and non-gamers alienated by normal input methods, and allow Nintendo to retain its status as leader of the handheld game console market.
Some have suggested that this was a precautionary measure to ensure the Game Boy name remained untarnished if the DS were to fail commercially, but given the sales of the handheld to date, the issue is rather academic.
