Download Nintendo DS games and play them anywhere.

The Nintendo DS Lite is the company's dual-screen, touch-controlled gaming console. The machine features several features not typically included in a portable gaming console: besides the touch-screen, there is a microphone for voice commands, and an internal modem for playing online and multiplayer games. This can also be used for a feature called "DS Download Play." This is where the console's internal memory can be used to temporarily store games owned by other players or released for demo play.
