About
As of 2026, it's 22 years old.
Two screens, a stylus, and a clamshell that snapped shut on a thousand boring car rides — the DS bet that a touchscreen could change handheld gaming, and it was extremely right.
It also moonlighted as a brain trainer, a puppy simulator, and a chat toy, pulling in players who'd never touched a Game Boy and selling ~154 million units along the way.
The fold-up handheld that put a second screen — and half the planet — in its pocket.
