Lately I've been doing a little research on the Nintendo DS family of handheld consoles in connection with one of my Edexcel assignment, and interestingly enough I've learned quite a few surprising facts about Nintendo's DS & 3DS series.

Nintendo DS family
The Nintendo DS is a series of handheld consoles developed by Nintendo (duh!). That was obvious wasn't it. Well here's something you probably didn't expect the DS series (excluding 3DS line) is the second best selling consoles as on 31st Dec, 2013 with a total sale of 153 million units right after the mighty PS2 (*_*). I know right, I mean everyone knew these tiny boxes were popular (mostly for Pokemon :-P) but did you expect it to be the second bestselling consoles (this is the stage where people who already knew make fun of the writer :-P). Well Nintendo was quite innovative with the DS series you've got to give them that. Here some game changing features that made the DS famous:-
1. Dual co-op screens
2. Bottom touch screen.
3. Backward compatibility to the people's favorite GBA games.
I could get down to explaining each DS there is, but I don't want this post to be as boring as I think my presentation would be (which by the way is on 4th, Tomorrow >_<).

The Main.....
Well the main focus of mys assignment was on the Nintendo's latest DS cousin the 3DS and it's relatives(3DSXL & 2DS).
So I mainly learned all this stuff:-
1. 3DS has sterioscopic 3D ability:- that means you can view 3D without those annoying glasses.
2. It also has a circle pad which is supposedly an analogue of the analogue stick (giggle).
3. It has way better Hardware than any of the DS devices and it rivals the PS vita.
4. It has pretty good graphics for a handheld console.

5. It is basically an awesome portable gaming experience.
6. But certainly no match for the giant rivals.
Well that should be all. Heh! it didn't turn out to be all that formal after all { B-) }.
