As I have recently bought a secondhand 2DS, I thought I would change things up a bit!

Let’s discuss the Nintendo DS series of portable consoles. What is your favorite version? What games are most memorable to you? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn’t work for you? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let’s get the conversation going!

If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

    it’s just better in all respects

    It’s heavier and uncomfortable to hold (at least if you have small hands)

      And you’re entitled to your opinion. I also have small hands, and I don’t find its size or weight to be a problem for me.

      My hands are pretty medium sized, and I think it’s the most comfortable portable device I have ever had in my hands. It is however a bit heavy. It’s also not a pocket device like the Gameboy was, although most DS are not very pocketable either.
