Since everyone seems to be talking about the next generation of DS, or what ever Nintendo plans to roll out, I thought it might be time to look back at the DS. When it came out it seemed to have so much promise, a microphone, wifi capabilities, two screens, a touch screen, GBA slot, and later on a camera. It seems as if Nintendo gave the developers the tools to think outside of the box for the first time since the creation of the hand held.

So looking back now, with the thousands of DS games out, and the DS on its last few years. Did the Developers actually utilize all the tools Nintendo gave them? Did Nintendo themselves actually make good use of all the tools?
