Remembering the Nintendo DS' Launch Titles
Ever since 1989, Nintendo has had a firm grip on the handheld gaming market. Though competitors like Sony's PSP and PS Vita gave it a good go in the 2000s and 2010s, even they couldn't outdo Nintendo.
And while the original Game Boy marked an incredible start for Nintendo's career in the handheld market, and its future iterations kept a tight hold on it, it's the Nintendo DS that really captured the attention of multiple generations.
Releasing in North America first in November 2004, which is a bit of an oddity for the Japanese company, the Nintendo DS became an instant smash-hit on launch.
Though the Nintendo DS wouldn't hit the mainstream public conscience until the release of the Nintendo DS Lite model, the DS' initial launch sales were still impressive, and some of that success has to come from the high quality of some of its initial launch line-up.
