The original DS came out on November 21, 2004 and it was one fo the first portable game systems. It includes a lower touch screen and a top screen to project pictures.
The DS icludes a stylus that was used to touch the bottom touch screen. It also had the a, b, x, y, start and select buttons and the r button on the right and the arrow pad and the power button and the L button on the left. This DS icludes a micro phone on the bottom and a volume slider on the bottom as well. A really cool thing that was added to the DS was its Game Boy game slot located on the bottom. You can see it in the picture above. The DS had some pretty cool software allowing you to play games, set the time and an alarm, and a chatroom called Pictochat.
Pictochat allowed other users to connect to a chatroom within a range and chat, send notes and communicate throught a range. You could draw, type in lots of languages and could even type in symbols. You could also delete and duplicate messages to. The Original DS doesnt has as many cool things like the DSI or the Nintendo 3ds but its still pretty cool! You can find them at MOST but not all game retailers such as Gamestop.
