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 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.
