There’s no doubt about it, the DS is on it’s last legs. You had a good run, buddy. Three revamps and hundreds of millions of units sold is better than most of us could ask for.
This may be the end for the DS, but there are a few pretty rad looking games still to come for the console. That teenage cat-girl shmup-thing looks promising, and you can never have too much Chibiteratsu. There’s also new Kirby, Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Kingdom hearts, Shiren the Wanderer, Super Robot Wars, some samurai sim, and a game where you force cats to take medicine. Then there’s this weird, miserable puppy game that’s inexplicably in English.
Even at this late date, you’re still full of surprises, DS. See you on the other side, old timer.

"The beach, the trees, even the clouds in the sky... everything is build from little tiny pieces of stuff. Just like in a Gameboy game... a nice tight little world... and all its inhabitants... made out of little building blocks... Why can't these little pixels be the building blocks for love..? For loss... for understanding"- James Kochalka, Reinventing Everything part 1
