Nintendo DS is Nintendo’s fourth major portable game console. Released as a successor to the company’s Game Boy series of portable game consoles, DS used a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP. The main feature of the console was its dual-screen display with the bottom screen being touch-sensitive. The console included a stylus for more precise touchscreen input and used the wireless connection for local and online multiplayer in specific titles. The Nintendo DS was a massive success for the company and as for 2018 is the second best-selling game console of all time Three Nintendo DS titles – New Super Mario Bros., Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS sold more than 20 million copies. During its lifespan, it had several redesigns: more compact version and ergonomic DS Lite, DSi that featured preinstalled browser, camera, and online game store, DSi XL, the version of DSi with bigger screens. The original DS and DS Lite were backward compatible with Game Boy Advance games.

Why some games have no rating

RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected 6 or more user votes. Below that it returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five “exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.

Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 0 of the 1 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.

Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists.
