Latest handheld released by Nintendo. The Nintendo DS is a portable gaming system which sports two screens, the bottom being the touch screen. The DS' main rival is of course the PSP, which is another portable gaming system released by Sony. Personally I think they're both evenly matched, they both have the good things about them and the bad things about them. Being a proud owner of both consoles, and finding both to be great portable systems, I'll go through each console:
The DS. Anybody saying the DS games are just childish, has honestly never tried playing them, and have their head so far up another gaming company's ass that it's almost popping out of their eye sockets. The games, while appealing as "childish", are extremely fun to play, and worth what you pay for. The DS has a very good battery life, the touch screen and mic adds more interactivity to games, and has a decent range of games out too. You can also go online with it, using Wi-Fi. Having said that, there is no real media(music, films etc.) available for it straight away, however Nintendo are working on many new things for the DS, including an internet service for the DS using the opera browser, which is a very good browser equivilent to the Firefox browser. There are also other ways, for instance using a play-yen. The DS is capable of 2D or 3D graphics, and the graphics are equivilent to that of the Nintendo 64.
The PSP. Right now I'm quite disappointed with the games out for PSP at the moment, however there are some pretty good ones in development as I type. The battery life for it is small, however you can buy batteries with increased battery life, but these do cost a lot. The good thing is that you can store photos, music, films and video on PSP memory cards, and it's good to have all of these in my pocket when on a long journey, with the choice of playing a game too. But the normal memory cars that comes with the PSP is only 32MB, so you have to pay for a better memory card, and they cost loads. I had to pay £90 for a 1GB memory card, and the PSP itself isn't cheap in the first place. There's also some hacks for the PSP, also known as Homebrew. It has better graphics than the DS, which is always nice to have but the actual gameplay of the games comes before graphics, and right now PSP is lacking in a good range of games.
Both consoles are around the same size and there's hardly any difference in weight.
Both are great systems, but my main reason for buying a gaming console was for games, and I'm much more satisfied with the games that Nintendo DS offers me.
Both are evenly matched consoles, but I've had much more fun with the games that Nintendo DS offers me. Fanboys should really play the games before bad mouthing them, but then again, you can't get anything through to a fanboy. ;)

Employees in black suits who drive large black Suburbans hired by Nintendo to investigate game leaks, leakers, hackers, illegal game rom sites, and those who download those roms.
The Nintendo Ninjas came to my house the other day and after the questioned me, they vanihed.

Nintendo tax is when a multi-platform video game is priced abnormally high on all platforms as a result of also being released on a Nintendo platform.
Nintendo Switch game prices are notoriously high (called the switch tax) and Nintendo apparently requires some form of parity on prices as part of their contract. As a result, game prices seem to become inflated even on other platforms that are not Nintendo platforms.
Bob: "This game is a straight port of a ten year old game! why is it so expensive??? "
Joe: "look, it's also on the switch... "
Bob: "Ah, I see, it's the Nintendo tax."

A great system that had quite a few awesome games, like oot and Goldeneye. Unfortunatly, it suffred from many of the problems that come with the limitations of using Cartriges, such as a lack of any CD Audio (meaning they had to use MIDI, which is shitty)
Goldeneye was a fucking awesome game

Kick ass console, the greatest and finest of its age.
Games like Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Sim City, Bubsy the Bobcat and Donkey Kong Country 3 made it at it's greatest.
<BastardizedDracula> You played yer SNES lately?
<SoNiC> Hell, no! SEGA is better! I sold my SNES a week after playin' it!
<BastardizedDracula> *loads pistol*

A person who praises Nintendo who believes gaming would have died in the 80's if Nintendo wasn't around and thinks less of others who don't prefer Nintendo over games. Usually these unique snowflakes spend more time on internet forums writing essays defending and praising Nintendo, yet these people spend more time online defending a company other than playing games. These people love to bash games like Call of Duty (equally as awful) for being the 'same shit every year" but they buy every release of Super Mario and defend the series and usually end up calling you dumb or not a "real gamer" *cringe intensifies*
Random guy online: I'm not a big Nintendo fan I much prefer Xbox or Playstation because they offer what I want
Nintendo Fanboy: REALLY?! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD GAMING IS AND HONESTLY YOU SHOULDN'T BE GAMING IF YOU CANT SEE THAT NINTENDO IS WAY BETTER THAN FUCKING MICROSHIT AND SONY
Nintendo fanboy: Nintendo is so mistreated because gamers today are fucking retarded and only want good graphics and a game that offers a gun in their hand
Regular Gamer: Wrong, Nintendo simply doesnt offer good 3rd party support and their 1st party games arent that good to justify buying a Nintendo console. Saying that people only want good graphics and 1st person shooters for not liking what you like is silly.
Nintendo fanboy: OMG YOU FAKE GAMERS ARE ALL THE SAME, YOU PLAY SHIT GAMES WHILE I HAVE A GOOD TASTE IN GAMES LIKE MARIO AND ZELDA. -grammatical errors were intended in this example-
