The Nintendo DS in White

Sure, DS sounds like some kind of horrible bowel disease but... it isn't. The Nintendo DS is the world's first double screened, portable hand held gaming system. The design is impeccable, with the screens placed one on top of the other. The top screen is where the action happens, the bottom screen is actually touch sensitive and can be used with a stylus. This affords some very interesting new-fangled gaming capabilities that any avid or casual gamer can appreciate.

Originally code named "Nitro" by Nintendo, the DS is the best selling next gen portable gaming device and it's obvious why.

On March 2nd,2006 Nintendo released the DS Lite. This redesign of the Nintendo DS made the system lighter, sleeker, brighter and generally more gorgeous than ever before.

With 100+ titles and dozens of critically acclaimed ones at that, the Nintendo DS is by far the coolest hand held ever. Trust us, if the thing wasn't awesome, we wouldn't be wasting our time with a blog about it.
