The DS was Nintendo's best move

I'm sure that by the time they learn the DS throughout they can push it to the max and make an incredible game for DS in the future. Hey, when the gamecube first came out, did you honestly think it would have the power to play Resident Evil 4?

[Mr.Cool]

yeah...Nintendo did a lot of right stuff with the DS and they just keep on giving.

[LeonResidentEvil4]

I have a theory that the DS' graphical and touchscreen power will keep growing until it reaches the breaking point (Resident Evil 4 is the gamecube's power at max and it's pretty high!)

the NES was nintendo's best move

what if they just stuck to the trading cards??

By best move I meant it was Nintendo's best creation. Look at all this functionality and it's a handheld!

Well, best handheld they created, in terms of interfacing. Their best creation was either the NES or the original Game Boy, both of which allowed the video game industry to expand even more.

hmm if nintendo never made a handheld...would sony be the first to create a handheld then? or would there be no market of such kind..?

[theONE]

no... the Zodiac and zodiac 2(both are pda/handhelds that play games)

Nintendo's best move was hiring Shigeru Miyamoto. Without him, Ninty would have failed in the video game industry without DonkeyKong to launch Nintendo's faultering arcade business, the company would have never made it passed 1979.

Arcade Games released by Nintendo before Miyamoto:

Computer Othello
Space Launcher
Space Firebird
Sheriff
Hellfire
Sky Skipper
Radar Scope

Games after Miyamoto joined:

Donkey Kong
Excitebike
Mario Bros.
Donkey Kong Jr.
Donkey Kong 3
Tennis
Super Mario Bros.

All of Miyamoto's arcade games later became launch titles for the NES.

Just look at yoshi on the top screen of the flower mini game (although it's not much of a game) tht proves the ds can preduce sum amazin graphics.
