The PlayStation Portable (PSP), it's retro now.

A touchscreen? A stylus? A built-in microphone? Critics were skeptical. Gamers were curious. But within months, the DS exploded in popularity, bridging generations and demographics like no system before it.

But what exactly made the DS such a runaway success? Was it the hardware, the innovative software, or something more?

Nintendo DS: What Made It So Successful?

@jake4480 excellent article, I neglected the emulation capabilities of my 3DS since I got my Miyoo Mini V2 and my Anbernic RG351V (also your current phone might as well be a better emulation machine already), but the projects like improving DS games are very appealing!

Definitely gonna check it out!

Great piece by Evan Boehs on why the 3DS still holds up https://boehs.org/node/3ds

The 3DS Still Holds Up

Nintendo Online costs $20 a year and can't do this

@easthighNerd my totally biased vote goes for my beloved Vita as it is the one that hasn't failed for me 😁

(PSP Go died due to a faulty battery and my PSP 3000 CMOS battery died as well)

Only 3 days left before we get to play the new Mario Kart, so here is one of my favourites, and perhaps even my personal number one:

@Sandro916 lol yes, I feel this way.

I recently had to emulate #UltimateSpiderman because this game just won't work in any of my flashcarts or hacked devices properly, I did it in my phone with a telescopic controller and still feel it is too clunky to emulate DS and 3DS with single screen devices.
