Nintendo followed this trend when it pioneered handheld gaming. The gameboy was big and then got progressivly smaller. Eventually, Nintendo launched the DS.
The Nintendo DS is a handheld system with two screens, one for viewing and one for touching. It’s a true testiment to Nintendo’s creativity. As time went on the system got leaner.
Recently, a Japanese website Dechisoku tweeted asking if people still had their original DS’s, and they got some responses:
Some are broken and some still seem to be in working condition. Nintendo has a reputation for making hardware that never breaks, there are even SNES’s and N64’s that still work. These pictures are a good example of the loyal fan base Nintendo has even in they’re sturggling times.
