Hello everyone. I briefly owned a Nintendo DS. I'm Boss from Retro Video Game Republic.

What do you mean by 'briefly'? I actually owned a Nintendo DS for quite a while. I'm Saori from Retro Video Game Republic!

And that's why I'll be the one introducing it today! I used to touch the screen so much that I had to replace the protective sheet regularly! Let's dive deep into the Nintendo DS, a device that brings back such memories!

The Nintendo DS is a handheld gaming console developed by Nintendo Co., Ltd.
Released in 2004, it became widely popular both domestically and internationally as the first device in the Nintendo DS series.
Games and related products in the Nintendo DS series were released over a long span of 12 years, until 2016, and enjoyed strong sales globally.

Features include two screens, a touchscreen, voice recognition via a microphone, and various other functions such as StreetPass, all packed into a compact gaming console.

The one I had was the squarish one over here.

Well, they're both square-ish. You mean the Nintendo DS Lite, right? There's no difference in performance between the DS Lite and the original DS, is there?

Almost none. The main difference is in the design, which is more compact.

The ability to use a stylus to operate on two screens is definitely one of its most distinctive features. I feel like I used to have some educational Nintendo DS software to practice writing more legibly.

Exactly! The fact that you can write and have it recognized led to the creation of various types of software. I played around with all sorts of them!
