Nintendo DS Architecture

Chapter 10: That's all folks


Image
My current DS used for this study. I actually sold my first one in 2010... I wonder where it's now.

Alrighty! I think I covered 99% of what I wanted to talk about...

I hope I didn't sound too harsh when criticising some sections. Don't get me wrong, I still think this console is a good piece of engineering! But there are some defects which make me wonder if it's really a cost-effective compromise, or part of a design flaw. Truth be told, that didn't stop 11-year-old me from wanting one back then. So I guess that's pretty much 'mission accomplished' for the company!

I would also like to thank friends and the MelonDS community for taking the time to check out the draft and pointing out lots of corrections. The Nintendo DS allowed me to mention many topics I've been interested in writing about for a while and I was afraid I would end up biting off more than I could chew, but hopefully you've enjoyed this article.

Until next time!
Rodrigo
