The Nintendo DS is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 2004 in Canada, the United States, and Japan. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. Early in 2006, Nintendo released the Nintendo DS Lite, a redesign of the Nintendo DS, in Japan. Later, in June 2006, it was released in North America, Europe, and Australia . The DS Lite has brighter screens and is a slimmer and lighter version of the Nintendo DS.

Games for the Nintendo DS games are extremely popular in America right now. More than 20 million Nintendo DS units have been sold since it came on the market. In addition, 3 million Nintendo DS Lite game consoles were sold in the United States during December 2008, breaking the record for the most video game hardware sold in a single month. The Playstation 2 previously held this record, selling 2.7 million units in December, 2002.
