Author: The Nintendo DS is a portable console made by Nintendo which can be quite hard to grasp as it is far different than Nintendo’s Game Boy console. Nintendo has announced that the DS is the third pillar (Game Boy Advance, Game Cube, and DS) and that the support of all three will be continued. Nintendo DS has a clamshell design with two horizontally placed screens. At first it may feel weird to control games with the touch screen, but when you get used to it you will realize that the controls are very easy to use and that a touch screen adds a feeling of accuracy and more control to things. The size of the screens is good, they are backlit which means the colors stand out more, managing to create some impressive 3D images.
The touch screen control offers so many possibilities and will continue to do so as long as developers make the most of it. The DS is without any doubt very simple to design for and hopefully developers are going to use that fact to innovate games and push the possibilities it offers, rather than to sew over old stitches just because it doesn’t take them long to do so. Nintendo DS takes everything the company had learnt from its other consoles and attaches new features like wireless networking (which is going to be a standard feature on all of next generation consoles like Revolution, PS3 and Xbox2), touch screen, and sound interaction. Not only that, the future of overall gaming could well be influenced by Nintendo DS, and that is something to look forward to.
