Five years ago today, the Nintendo DS came to the United States. I was able to purchase a launch-day system, and I was so excited when games like Mario Kart came to the handheld device. Here are some of the highlights over the past five years.

  • First successful dual screen & touch screen handheld gaming device.
  • Nintendogs.
  • DS-Wii integration.
  • Pokemon series goes to new level.
  • Wireless local multiplayer.
  • Brain Age.
  • Mario Kart DS.
  • Online multiplayer.
  • DS lite revision.
  • New Super Mario Bros.
  • DSi revision.
  • DSiWare.
  • DSi XL revision.
