Release: November 21, 2004 (North America)

Nintendo showed off the Nintendo DS for the first time at 2004's E3 show. The handheld system features a new innovation—two LCD screens offering different perspectives of the game.

In addition to having two screens, the lower display is a touch-screen, much like those available in current PDAs.

Game-wise, the DS debuts with a few titles, including an updated port of the N64 classic, Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 DS has a few updates, including more playable characters and a level map in the second screen.
