The Nintendo DS, officially known as the Nintendo Developers' System[10] and also referred to as the Nintendo Dual-Screen[10] or NDS, is a handheld game system developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It has two screens; the top screen being for viewing only, while the lower screen can be used as a touchscreen interface.
The first two iterations, the standard Nintendo DS and DS Lite are also able to play Game Boy Advance titles, which can be displayed on any screen, however the screen it is displayed on must be changed in the Options; by default it is the top screen. However, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games cannot be played. The third and fourth iterations, the Nintendo DSi, and DSi XL are unable to play Game Boy Advance titles due to the removal of the GBA cartridge slot. Its successor is the Nintendo 3DS which had a backward-compatibility with the console.
The Sonic the Hedgehog series made its debut on the DS with the critically acclaimed Sonic Rush. The final game of the series on the platform was Sonic Colors.
