An example information processing apparatus which performs non-contact communication with a data storage medium having a non-contact communication function and performs predetermined information processing, acquires first data stored in a first data storage medium and second data stored in a second data storage medium by using the non-contact communication. Next, the example information processing apparatus performs information processing based on the first data and/or the second data. Then, the example information processing apparatus writes the first data into the second data storage medium or writes the second data into the first data storage medium.

A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus which is connected with a television. Furthermore, there is provided with an input terminal device which functions as an input device for the game apparatus. A game screen is displayed on a screen of the television, and a player draws a locus in accordance with a predetermined course from a start to a goal included in the game screen by performing an input operation using the input terminal device. At this time, an inputting surface of a touch panel provided on the input terminal device is turned toward the television. Accordingly, the locus by a slide operation is depicted on the game screen as if the locus is reflected in a mirror.
