Nintendo DS also known as the NDS at times is a dual-screen handheld game console engineered and manufactured by Nintendo. This DS gadget was launched in the United States, Canada and Japan in 2004. This was the first Nintendo DS console released in North America prior to Japan. Being one of the closest competitors of the Sony PSP this Nintendo console has a series of features that include:
- A clamshell Design (same as the Game Boy Advance SP)
- Two inbuilt LCD Screens, the bottom one is touch-screen
- A built-in microphone
- Supports wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards (with the DS Nintendo players can interact with anybody within range of 10-30 ms, conditions applied)
- It allows players to chat online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service
Nintendo DS Video Game Console
Nintendo DS has a system code that is named “Nitro”. This particular DS gadget can be seen in the particular model number appearing on the unit (NTR-001). It is quite evident form the console’s name itself which officially refers to the “Developer’s System” (DS). Such a name roots from a reference to the developers of new game designs that the system was supposed to inspire. DS, the name also refers to the “dual screen” which is one of the most distinct and obvious features of the system. DS games use a proprietary solid state ROM "game card" format similar to the memory cards used in other portable electronic devices such as digital cameras.
Nintendo DS further went on to launch the Nintendo DS Lite in 2006. This latest Nintendo gadget is a redesign of the previous model in Japan. Thereon it was also released in Europe, North America and Australia in June 2006. DS Lite has brighter screen and is the slimmer and lighter version of the previous Nintendo DS. Nintendo American, this version still holds on to the older model of the DS, taking it to be the original style of the DS. It was in October 2, 2008 that Nintendo announced the launch of Nintendo DSi at the company’s Fall Media Summit. The only moderation in this one is that the DSi is a little thinner, with larger screens than the DS Lite, an AAC playback capability and two cameras. But the only single drawback is that it doesn’t have a Game Boy Advance port.
Nintendo DS Battery Life
The Nintendo DS contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 850 mAH. Once you charge it for full four-hours, the factory 850 mAH battery lasts for about 10 hours at a stretch. But then the battery life is eaten up by multiple factors including:
- Speaker volume
- Use of one or both screens
- Back lighting
- Use of wireless connectivity
