+The Nintendo DS is the successor of the {{bp|Gameboy Advance}} set of gaming systems, first released in 2004. Its notable feature is its pair of screens, one of which is a touch-sensitive. Two years after its launch, the {{bp|Nintendo DS Lite}}, a slightly smaller version of the original DS, started to be sold. The {{bp|Nintendo DSi}} soon followed in 2008. While this system is no longer capable of playing the Gameboy Advance games, it does allow players to download games via {{bp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}, among other new features. In late 2009, a bigger DSi, the {{bp|Nintendo DSi XL}} (known as the "Nintendo DSi XL" in Japan) was released.
