==Feature==
===Wi-Fi Connection===
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is a free online game service run by Nintendo which players who owns a Nintendo DS can connect to the service through the Wi-Fi network using a Wi-Fi USB Connector or a wireless router. During the other release of the Nintendo DS series they are more based on the wireless router instead of the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector. The usage of Wi-Fi was launched on November 14, 2005 in North America alongside with the release of ''Mario Kart DS''.

===Download Play===
Download Play is feature on the Nintendo DS generations. It is possible for users to play multiplayer games with other Nintendo DS systems with only using one game card. It has the same effect as the Wireless Adapters that has been released alongside with the ''[[Pokémon]] LeafGreen'' Version and ''Pokémon FireRed'' Version. It can only up to approximately 65 feet within wireless range of each other for the other system to download necessary data from the host system.

===Multi-Card Play===
As being the same as Download Play, Multi-Card Play allows owners with a Nintendo DS play multiplayer games with other Nintendo DS systems. Unlike Download Play each Nintendo DS console requires a game card.

===PictoChat===
This app allows owners with a Nintendo DS systems to communicate with other Nintendo DS users within local wireless range. Users can enter text through the keyboard or sending them handwrite message or drawing pictures through the stylus and touchscreen. There are only four chatrooms (A, B, C, D) which only can allow up to 16 peoples in each chatroom. On Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite systems users can only write messages in black. However, the DSi and DSi XL includes a new function, letting users write in either black or rainbow colored pen.

===Compatibility===
The Nintendo DS is backward compatible with Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridges but not with the Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridges only with Game Boy Advance cartridges. It gives the same screen display as that of a Game Boy Advance SP which the owner of the Nintendo DS can change the appearance of the game screen through setting which the appearance will be on the upper part or on the lower part of the Nintendo DS system. This compatibility is only so far used at the first Nintendo DS until Nintendo DS lite. Nintendo DS<sup>i</sup> until Nintendo 3DS doesn't have these backward compatible.

The following two ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' titles can be played as a result on the DS and DS Lite:
*{{DQMCH}}
*{{SMMDQ}} - the first [[slime]] spin-off game.
