Description
The DS is a gaming console that was made by the company Nintendo. It was popularized for its inclusive nature and its ability to be easily transported to play with others. With many titles like the Pokémon, Mario and Ace Attorney frranchies being the most popular. The DS was unique for its double screen design, allowing for a more immerisve gaming experience than handheld consoles had previously allowed for. The Nintendo DS also allows for backwards compatibility, or in other words, newer models can run games made for previous models of the DS. This lets users who have owned older generations of the console upgrade to a newer version, while keeping their favorite games from the older version without having to restart them or buy them again. This furthers the inclusive nature of the DS by allowing for a less financially stressful experience overall.
