Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS (Dual Screen), released in 2004, introduced revolutionary dual-screen gaming with one being a touch-sensitive display. This innovative design opened entirely new gameplay possibilities—from drawing in Kirby Canvas Curse to performing surgery in Trauma Center. The DS became the second best-selling handheld of all time with over 154 million units sold. Its library features some of gaming's most beloved titles: New Super Mario Bros. revitalized 2D platforming, Pokémon Diamond/Pearl continued the franchise's dominance, Brain Age popularized educational gaming, and Nintendogs pioneered virtual pet simulation. The DS also featured built-in Wi-Fi for multiplayer gaming and wireless communication. Its clamshell design protected both screens while maintaining portability. The DS proved that innovation in game design could triumph over raw hardware power, influencing touchscreen gaming that would later dominate mobile devices.
