In addition, the overall shape was weird. The top screen was notorious for falling off, but at least it could still be used to play GameBoy Advance games.Īnd the Stylus was placed on the back of the console, making it inconvenient to use while playing. However, this is where the distinctions between the two become apparent.Īlthough the original Nintendo DS is a classic, it is objectively quite bad. The top cartridge slot accommodated DS games, while the bottom one supported GBA games. They both have the bottom touch screen, two cartridge slots, and the X,Y,L, and R buttons, with the latter two located on the console’s back. THE ORIGINAL DUOīecause the first two DS’s features are so similar, I’m going to group them together. It is no longer a good idea to play this because it can only play one game (and there are many better ways to play that game now.)įurthermore, because of the console’s age, its price makes it even less valuable because only collectors buy it.

Looking at a picture of it, we can see two major similarities to the Nintendo DS. That summer, Nintendo released the Donkey Kong Game & Watch. And by “go back,” I mean “all the way back” to June 1982. However, if we go far enough back in Nintendo’s history, we might find something very similar to the DS. I mean, it’s backwards compatible with the Nintendo DS, so it’s got to be the most influential, right? The most obvious is, of course, the GameBoy Advance SP. Like everything else good in the world, the DS was influenced by a wide range of factors. THE EVOLUTION OF NINTENDO DS DS BEFORE THE DS In this article, I’ll go over how the DS line evolved over time, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each modification.īut first, let’s look at what led to the creation of the Nintendo DS. Even its successor, the Nintendo 3DS, has received enough updates to compete with Street Fighter 2. However, as most of us are aware, it has undergone numerous revisions. It started Nintendo’s tradition of providing gimmicks for their consoles and exploded the casual game market.
The Nintendo DS is, without a doubt, the most popular video game console.
