“Two screens, a stylus and a lid that closes to sleep. The RG DS brings DS games back the way they were made to be played, with everything up to PSP alongside.”

Overview

Two screens that fold away.
Your favourite classics, back in your hands.

If you grew up with a Nintendo DS, the RG DS will feel instantly familiar. It opens just like the original: a screen on top, a touch screen underneath, and a stylus in the box. Close the lid and it sleeps, ready for the next commute, lunch break or night on the couch.

And it plays far more than DS games. As a guide, it's capable of playing classics all the way up to PSP: Game Boy, SNES and Mega Drive, PS1, N64 and Dreamcast. A D-pad and two analogue sticks mean 2D platformers and 3D adventures both feel right.

About 6 hours of play per charge, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in, and it folds down to 160 × 91 × 21.5mm, so it travels easily.

Display

Two 4″ screens.
Built for dual-screen classics.

Two 4.0″ 640×480 IPS screens in 4:3, stacked like the original DS. Both have OCA full lamination, and both are multi-touch with capacitive stylus support. The stylus is in the box.

Switch control between the top and bottom screen, or run two apps at once, one on each screen.
