Interface has come under fire for being difficult to use or customize.[52][53]Mobile phones[] File:Opera mini.png When a user browses the web using Opera Mini, the request is sent via the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) to one of the Opera Software company's servers, and that server retrieves the web page, processes it, compresses it, and sends it back to the user's mobile phone. Main article: Opera MiniOpera Mini, offered free of charge, is designed primarily for mobile phones, but also for smartphones and personal digital assistants. It uses the Java ME platform and consequently requires that the mobile device be capable of running Java ME applications. The browser began as a pilot project in 2005.[54] After limited releases in Europe,[55][56] it was officially launched worldwide on January 24, 2006.[57]Opera Mini requests web pages through the Opera Software company's servers, which process and compress them before relaying the pages back to the mobile phone.[58][59] This compression process makes transfer time about two to three times faster[60] and the pre-processing smooths compatibility with web pages not designed for mobile phones.[61]Nintendo DS[] File:DSOnWhite.jpg The Nintendo DS Main article: Nintendo DS BrowserThe Nintendo DS Browser is an edition of Opera for the Nintendo DS handheld gaming system. The Nintendo DS Browser was released in Japan July 24, 2006,[62] in Europe October 6, 2006,[63] and in North America June 4, 2007.[64] It is sold as a physical game cartridge for US$30.[17]The Nintendo DS Browser includes the same Small-Scale Rendering and page zooming technology present in

Opera Mobile.[65][51] It also includes handwriting recognition software and an on-screen keyboard to enable user input. Additionally, Nintendo partnered with Astaro Internet Security to provide web filtering for the Nintendo DS Browser. The technology is simply a professionally maintained proxy server that blocks web sites related to pornography, discrimination, security hacking, software piracy, violence, gambling, illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, dating, weapons, abortion, and other objectionable content.[66] Users can configure the Nintendo DS Browser to receive web pages through this proxy server, and this setting can be password-protected (by a parent, for example) to prevent circumvention.[67]In August 2007, the Nintendo DS Browser was quietly discontinued in North America,[68][17] although it is still available from Nintendo's online store.[69]Wii[] File:Wii Wiimotew.jpg The Nintendo Wii Main article: Internet ChannelOn May 10, 2006, the Opera Software company announced that it was partnering with Nintendo to provide a web browser for Nintendo's Wii gaming console.[12][70][71][72] Opera for the Wii, called the Internet Channel, was free to download from its release on April 12, 2007[14] until June 30, 2007. After June 30, Wii users had to pay 500 Wii Points (US$5[15]) to download it.[16]Scott Hedrick, an executive of the Opera Software company, explained that the Wii browser was designed to suit a "living room environment". In contrast to Opera's appearance on computer monitors, fonts are larger and the interface is simplified for easier use.[73] Notwithstanding the changes in design, the Wii browser supports all the same web standards as the desktop version of Opera 9,[73] including passing

Since May 20, 2014, online play for many Nintendo DS games has been discontinued due to the closing of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.[12] Conversely, the DS is Nintendo's last system to be distributed in South Korea through a third party licensor, specifically Daewon Media (who also handled the South Korean releases of the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube).[13] Starting with the Wii, Nintendo's products would be released in the region through the newly established Nintendo of Korea.The Nintendo DS retains the , , , , , , and buttons from the Game Boy Advance and also includes the and buttons, so it has all of the same buttons as a Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller.Models[edit]Nintendo DS Lite[edit]NintendoWiki article: Nintendo DS LiteA Polar White DS Lite with a stylusA newer model named the Nintendo DS Lite was released in 2006 and contains all the features of the original Nintendo DS with some new features such as a significantly brighter screen (with four adjustment options), a lighter weight, and a smaller overall size (having the negative side effect of a regular Game Boy Advance cartridge protruding out from the bottom, similar to playing a Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridge in the Game Boy Advance). The Nintendo DS Lite sold 89.19 million units as of 2010.[citation needed] It was also the final handheld system to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games.Nintendo DSi and DSi XL[edit]Main article: Nintendo DSiA third model, called the Nintendo DSi, was first released in Japan in December 2008. It is thinner, lighter, and brighter than the Nintendo DS Lite, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot. However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak, which was used with titles such as Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, alongside other peripherals which used the slot, cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added. Additionally, the console supports WPA encrypted networks.The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop, which are then stored on an SD Card or in internal memory. It was released in Japan on November 1, 2008, in Australia on April 2, 2009, in Europe on April 3, 2009, and in North America on April 5, 2009. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi. In 2009, Nintendo later released the Nintendo DSi XL, with the "XL" standing for "Extra Large". It is also the heaviest of the four models.[14]Stylus[edit]The stylus is a pencil-like accessory that comes included with the Nintendo
