- Four brightness levels, of which the brightest is extremily bright.
- Larger stylus
- Shiny future-esque finish available in White, Black, and Light Blue. These are the launch colors, and Nintendo will very likely release more colors as time goes on.

They launched in Japan on March 2nd, 2006, and they have sold so well that they have been very hard to get ahold of, despite Nintendo's best efforts to restock them.

Nintendo, the company made famous for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment system) and the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment system) was originally a card game manufacturing company, which became popular in Japan. They later became a video game manufacturing company. Their first consoles were a series of "Color T.V. Games." Then created the NES. Which was popular for the Super Mario Bros. game, which the main character, Mario, set a staple for Nintendo. The SNES came along, followed by the Nintendo 64. Until 2001, the GameCube came, and Nintendo was presumably put into Third Place in the Console Wars (see article for details) and lost the 2001-2004 Console race. Then, in 2004, Nintendo released a new, portable, gaming device, The Nintendo DS (dual screen.) When 2006 rolled along, Nintendo revealed their new console, the Nintendo Wii. Using motion sensing technology, it inspired many to get off their couches and actually feel as if they were inside of the game.

A handheld gaming console that was released 11/21/04. Dual Screen. A kick ass product.

Nintendo dual-screen. Something I can't wait to get. Nintendo's latest portable system is seperate from the gameboy series.

At a first look, the DS' dual screen just seems like a feature. A good feature is one that has something to do with improving gameplay, which the touch screen does. The psp however, is trying to beat nintendo with better graphics and dvd, making the DS the instant winner. Why? Because the DS is focusing on making fun games and revolutionizing games. The PSP is a mobile phone minus the calling people.

Also, the DS is cheaper then PSP and so are the games. The DS consumes less battery power then the PSP.

1. An abbreviation refering to the Nintendo Dual Screen. The DS is a portable system with dual screens, one that you can "touch" with your fingers or a pen, a D-Pad control system, 4 buttons (all SNES style, labeled ABYX in the same fashion), 2 shoulder buttons (Also SNES style, L and R), the stuff letting you play Nintendo DS games, and a GBA emulator (but you can't have all the GBA "additionals", and you are limited to 1P modes). It has, basically, N64-style graphics, but they are slightly improved. There are also dual speakers, and the design of the DS allows it to be "flipped" closed. As a side note, the only portable system really competing up to the DS is the PSP.

2. An abbreviation meaning "Dick Suck".

3. An abbreviation meaning "Dark Side".

4. An abbreviation meaning "Dark Side", used in MMBN 4-5 to accompany "Dark" navichips, which as you get hurt, increase damage of the chip. You can also only use them when MegaMan is "Dark".

Pronounced: “Wee”

The name of Nintendo’s next Generation console that was originally code-named: Revolution.

Countless long time Nintendo fans are debating over the originality of the name and if Revolution should have been the real name.

Wii is supposed to mean “We” as in “We play together”. Reason why it’s written this way is because in Japanese, the letter “i” is pronounced like an “e” (while an “e” is pronounced like the sound “hey”).

The two “i” in Wii also represent the controllers that will be used for the game console.

This console will be the first console to go down in history by not having a name with real words:
