Portable console released in 2004

This dual-screen console opened up new, innovative ways to play games; mainly with touch-based control, but also in other ways, such as interacting with its microphone. A later model, the DSi, would introduce a camera and an online download service to the console.

Nintendo Zone Box


The Nintendo Zone Box is a device used in game stores and retailers to automate the connection between a player's Nintendo DS or 3DS console and a local WiFi network, which enables the console to receive exclusive content from Nintendo's Nintendo Zone server. This exclusive content ranged from game demos for upcoming games, to special StreetPass guests for Nintendo 3DS users, and even specially distributed Pokemon on a couple occasions. This variant appears to be an older version which would later be replaced by the NZB-001 variant. They work similarly, though this variant actually contains an entire modified DS Lite (USG-001C) inside of its plastic. This device is powered by a DS Lite charger, which connects via a port at the bottom. This port is connected by a wire to a modified GBA cartridge, called the "power control cartridge", which is plugged into the DS Lite. This cartridge will turn on the DS Lite when it detects power from the DS Lite charger being connected.

AC Adapter Cable Case


The AC Adapter Cable Case is a small piece of plastic with holes on the top and bottom. The face of the case can be taken off to reveal a plastic circle inside. An AC Adapter wire can be routed through one hole, wrapped around the plastic circle, and then fed through the other hole. In the context of a kiosk display, this helps to hide any loose wiring, making the kiosk both safer and tidier. This Cable Case came packaged with the NIS-004 variant of the Nintendo Zone Box.
