| The '''Nintendo DS''' is a handheld video game console made by [[Nintendo]] and released in 2004. It features a dual-screen layout, with the lower one being a touch screen. Two [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' games]] were released for the Nintendo DS: ''[[Metroid Prime Pinball]]'' in 2005 and ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'' in 2006. Additionally, a demo version of ''Metroid Prime Hunters'' titled ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt]]'' was bundled with Nintendo DS consoles at the system's launch in 2004. The Nintendo DS is also backward compatible with [[Game Boy Advance]] games. | |

| Three revisions of the Nintendo DS were released: the Nintendo DS Lite, which features a smaller design and a brighter display, in 2006; the Nintendo DSi, which added various features to the console's operating system and removed Game Boy Advance backward compatibility, in 2008; and the Nintendo DSi XL, a larger version of the Nintendo DSi, in 2009. The Nintendo DS was succeeded by the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2011.

| Several Nintendo DS games, including ''Metroid Prime Hunters'', were re-released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the [[Wii U]].
| | ==The Touch Screen and Stylus== |
| | The Nintendo DS is famous for being the only video game console that uses Touchscreen technology to play its games (Though this is usually optional). Although it is possible to use a finger to manipulate the touchscreen, it comes with a DS stylus, a pen like object used to tap on small buttons that large fingers might miss. |
