The Nintendo is 20 years old today.
It's still wild to me that it released two weeks earlier in the US, compared to Japan.
In Europe, we would have to wait till March to get the system, which is why this launch edition is from March 2005.
Feature titled: Touch the Future.

Ah yes, The "Nintendo". According to my mom, The Nintendo has been around since the 80's ;)
Jokes aside, I remember buying this bulky plastic thing and absolutely loving it.
Then 2 years later the DS Lite came out and hoo boy, I had to have that one after seeing how much cleaner it looked!
The DS Lite is still the perfect handheld to me.
Looks gorgeous, feels absolutely perfect.
The only downside is that my eyes are getting worse and worse as I get older, so the smaller screen is a bit harder for me to enjoy.@OutofPrintArchive @donuts yeah this is what I called “the nintendo!” 1986.
@[email protected] still the best game system ever made. I want a modern one, make the Switch 2 a dual screen clamshell please Nintendo
I'll gladly agree with that, despite the little voice in the back of my mind whispering "Sega Saturn"... 😄
And now you got me dreaming....
A Switch 2, double screen, clamshell design.
Fully backwards compatible with the Switch, Nintendo DS and 3DS...... 🥶@[email protected] @[email protected] it was such a simple thing, but touch input and two screens solved so many problems games have with UI and let us do a lot of cool stuff. And unlike the Switch, it still fit in a pocket!
I still regularly play my DSi (in fact, I ran through a grotto in DQIX this morning). It was such nice hardware, but games still had many design features of earlier handhelds (brevity, bigger UI elements, etc).
@[email protected] I remember my mind being absolutely BLOWN when I saw my friend play timeace for the DS when it first came out. Damn interet keeping me up to date on technological developments, im never impressed anymore when I see doodads.
