The Nintendo is 20 years old today.
It’s still wild to me that it released two weeks earlier in the US, compared to Japan.
In Europe, we would have to wait till March to get the system, which is why this launch edition is from March 2005.
Feature titled: Touch the Future.
Taken from Nintendo Official Magazine 151 - March Special Edition 2005 (UK)

Ah yes, The “Nintendo”. According to my mom, The Nintendo has been around since the 80’s ;)
Jokes aside, I remember buying this bulky plastic thing and absolutely loving it.
Then 2 years later the DS Lite came out and hoo boy, I had to have that one after seeing how much cleaner it looked!

The DS Lite is still the perfect handheld to me.
Looks gorgeous, feels absolutely perfect.
The only downside is that my eyes are getting worse and worse as I get older, so the smaller screen is a bit harder for me to enjoy.
@OutofPrintArchive @donuts yeah this is what I called “the nintendo!” 1986.
@Bronwyn @donuts
That’s still “the Nintendo” for me as well. 😅

And only now I realise that I left out DS… 👀
Once again this proves that I’m better off posting the least as possible when I have the early shift and have been awake since 3:45am. 😂
Hahaha yeah that was what it was about. You can still edit the title if you want
edit: oh maybe not on Mastodon, idk. On Lemmy you can edit titles after posting, from where I am replying

It’s fine.
It’s not the first blunder I make and it definitely won’t be the last. 😅
