Nintendo is famous for a ton of cool games and some of the hottest gaming gear on the planet. They have Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Pokemon and more famous gaming all-stars on their team. Plus, you can play with these cool characters on the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance video game systems. But, that's not enough for the big N - they've announced the Nintendo DS - a crazy new handheld system that has not just one, but two screens!

Nintendo has said that their new Nintendo DS game system is going to have two separate 3-inch screens with a separate processor for each. This will give you two different views of your video game at the same time and will allow for some really freaky game action.

Nintendo DS Video Game System Drop Date

This new game system was announced at the end of January 2004, but it won't drop for a while yet - there aren't even any pictures! You'll be able to get a sneak peak at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) in May of 2004 but the system won't drop until the end of 2004 - just in time for Christmas.
