The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The "DS" in the name is an initialism for "Dual Screen", reflecting the system's most distinctive feature: two LCD screens working in tandem, with the lower screen functioning as a touchscreen.
- Both screens are housed in a clamshell design similar to that of the Game Boy Advance SP and some models of the Game & Watch series.
- The DS was among the first portable consoles to support wireless connectivity for local multiplayer over short distances, as well as online play through the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nintendo DS article was read about 650,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Nintendo DS
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
