The Nintendo DS Revisions

Following on from the other days post about the different Game Boys over the years, here's a look at the changing face of the Nintendo DS. You may notice that the outer changes aren't as drastic as with the Game Boy but the inner workings and printed circuits inside are enhanced to improve the network connectivity and the addition of a camera from the DS model to the DSi model. As for the DSi XL, that was just a big chunky version for older people that liked Brain training and 100 Classic Book Collection.

Many Faces of the Nintendo Game Boy

Nintendo dominated the handheld market throughout the 90's and saw many different redesigns until it was replaced with the touch screen Nintendo DS in 2004. These redesigns continued with the DS which was replaced last year with the 3DS. The process of shrinking the size of the handhelds whilst maintaining all the same functionality shows how good at electronic manufacture Nintendo is. Here's a look at the different hardware revisions for the Game Boy and we'll take a look at the DS iterations soon, all in preparation for my look at the 3DS in a couple of weeks.
