Nintendo DS

The Nintendo DS hit the market and was a massive game-changer for handheld gaming. Not only did the device have two screens, but one of those screens was a touch-sensitive. The name for the DS came from the Dual Screen aka DS setup the hardware had. The handheld device went on to become one of the biggest sellers in many years and was later followed up by the 3DS.

During its lifecycle, the Nintendo DS was host to a huge catalog of fantastic video games, some of which saw their first launch, Nintendogs being one example.

Although the DS used a different cart system to the GameBoy devices, the hardware did contain a port to allow the connection of legacy cards to give the DS backward compatibility with older systems.
