The Nintendo DS Console is a revolutionary handheld 3D games system boasting an impressive array of "touch-style" games. With the newly developed graphics engine, the Nintendo DS Console can reproduce impressive 3D renderings that surpass images displayed on the Nintendo64!
DS Console
The next generation of handheld computers are hitting the streets, and the Nintendo DS is at the front, leading the pack, with a wide range of distinctive features that truly set it apart from other handheld consoles. The Nintendo DS console is perfect for everyone regardless of age, gender and gaming skills. The DS also has integrated wireless technology, allowing you to connect to, and play against other DS users without any annoying cables, and can link upto 15 consoles within a 30-100ft radius. The Nintendo DS Console also allows you to play your Game Boy Advance games as it is backwards compatible.
Stylus
DS users can navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with the stylus or a fingertip. The stylus is included with the console and fits into the side when not in use. The stylus also doubles up as a doodling pen, so if you get bored of games you can use it to draw a picture, and then with the built-in PictoChat you can send it to a friend and bring a smile to their face :)
Screens
The Nintendo DS features bright, durable, top and bottom LCD screens with four levels of brightness (useful when playing in differing lighting conditions), offering a groundbreaking new approach to gaming.
Player
When gaming on the DS, you are able to play games and chat to other players without any cables or wires, completely untethered, and you can move your characters simply by telling them which way to go! The DS can also be moved around to control a game, since the slide controller will pick up the motions, just as if you were pressing a button.
Music
The powerful audio capabilities of the Nintendo DS Console will immerse gamers in a world of atmospheric sound effects and vibrant music, as the built-in stereo speakers simulate surround sound, and the console also features a headphone socket.
Wireless
The voice capabilities of the Nintendo DS console also allow gamers to chat with each other, via WiFi or a DS local wireless network. For example, you could be reading text messages from other gamers on one screen, while playing a multi player wireless game on the other.
Games
Running at a speed of 60 frames per second, Nintendo DS games feature details such as cel shading and fog effects. There are a wide range of Nintendo DS games available on the market, so finding something to suit your tastes shouldn't be a problem!
