Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (Red)

Product Information

There was a third-party DeSmuME fork that successfully emulated WFC but has quite a bit of requirement (Ethernet cable, though this can be circumvented with external software). After the service shutdown, there was a version compatible with the fan servers (restoring all DLC data, but sadly, most multiplayer games had their content lost forever). melonDS is one of the only emulators to offer Wi-Fi capabilities. It's still a work-in-progress, but it works relatively well. The DS also enlarged the market for female gamers. According to Nintendo in 2006, 44% of DS owners were female, with the majority of Nintendogs owners being female. [39] Sad really, when this game came out GAME had this bulging from the shelves, but now I have a 3DS I went to look from it and it's utterly vanished from retail. Dammit, I want to support retail as much as I can, but they don't make it easy... Berit Hanson (February 16, 2006). "Opera for Nintendo DS". Berit's Blog. Archived from the original on May 18, 2007 .

Pokémon Battle Revolution - in which players could transfer their Pokémon from the Generation IV main series games and use the DS as a controller. The DS established a large casual gaming market, attracting large non- gamer audiences and establishing touchscreens as the standard controls for future portable gaming devices. According to Jeremy Parish, writing for Polygon, the Nintendo DS laid the foundations for touchscreen mobile gaming on smartphones. He stated that the DS "had basically primed the entire world for" the iPhone, released in 2007, and that the DS paved the way for iPhone gaming mobile apps. However, the success of the iPhone "effectively caused the DS market to implode" by the early 2010s, according to Parish. [38]

Taking the idea of a visual novel quite literally, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 required you to switch the DS to a vertical position so that you could play it properly. With that virtual book-like experience in hand, a stylus in your other appendage, and all eyes focused on the screens in front of you, what unfolded was a tense mystery that was held together by superb writing, intriguing characters, and an art style that amplified the brilliant pacing of this story. Developer Cing would also produce a similar game called Another Code: Two Memories, with both innovative titles becoming essential titles on the DS. Hotel Dusk didn't find as big of an audience as it deserved, as its sequel Last Window: The Secret of Cape West only launched in Japan and Europe. Gantayat, Anoop (December 1, 2004).

Animal Crossing may have gotten its start on the GameCube (in North America), but the first handheld entry in the series was a highlight reel of everything that made the original work and improved on it. Running your own village and customizing your character were still the primary driver here, but the introduction of online components that made the visit to neighboring villages proved that Animal Crossing was the perfect game for a market of simulation fans that enjoyed mobile gaming. Wild World was the type of game that compelled you to turn on your DS at least once per day.
