How to Download Games on Nintendo DS
Introduced in 2009, the Nintendo DSi added a larger screen, built-in camera and internal memory to the Nintendo DS hand-held gaming system. With its internal memory, the DSi can use a wireless Internet connection to download and save full games, which wasn't possible with previous versions of the DS. Through the Nintendo DSi Shop, gamers have access to a large library of DSi games, such as "Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again," "WarioWare: Snapped!" and "Dark Void Zero."
