Definition: The term "homebrew" references unlicensed home-made games that are developed for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, or any other game platform by an independent developer or a very small development team. Homebrew games are distributed online rather than in a store, and are usually not endorsed by Nintendo.
Most homebrew games are developed out of a love for the hobby, and sometimes present unique and interesting ideas that might not make it into a mainstream Nintendo DS game.
