DS Download Station

A DS Download Station

DS Download Stations were machines at special stores/places for Nintendo DS systems to download content with the DS Download Play feature. The equivalent to the DS Download Stations in Japan are the DS Stations (Japanese: DSステーション). The successor to the DS Station is the Nintendo 3DS Station.

General information

DS Download Stations provide information about the console and new/available titles on a monitor. They may also have a Nintendo DS attached to them to play demos of software or small promotional games, or the software can be downloaded with DS Download Play. Examples of some unique non-retail games available with the stations are Table Hockey Tech Demo, PokéPark: Tsuri Taikai DS, Nintendo Game Seminar games. See List of DS Download Play software for more information.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi station would also allow players to use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from the location that hosted that station.
