Game Boy Light(Japan only)-1998 2DS (2013)

Game Boy history As mentioned, the original Game Boy was the second pillar to the NES, and sold over 118 million units worldwide, and was released in 1989. Seven years later, Nintendo released the Game Boy Pocket. It was identical to the Game Boy, but it was smaller, and lasted 10 hours on half as many batteries than the original Game Boy, with a true black and white display, instead of ”pea soup” greenish gray. The Game Boy Light was then released exclusively in Japan, with a smaller shape, but otherwise identical to the Game Boy pocket and more importantly, the first ever backlight, allowing players to game in the dark(hence the name Game Boy LIGHT). 6 months later, the Game Boy color was released, giving color to the handheld videogames, with many new specs that revolutionized the handheld gaming view. In 2001, the Game Boy advance was released, which featured a permanent backlight, and a smaller game pak, with more battery life for only 2 AA batteries. In 2003, the Game Boy SP was released, with a foldable screen, a rechargeable battery, a adjustable backlight, and functionality for the entire series of all Game Boy games. The DS design is rumored to be modeled around that of the SP’s The Game Boy micro was released in 2005, and was able fit in the palm of the hand and have the same functionality as the SP, but was not able to play Game Boy color and Game Boy games The Game Boy micro was the final Game Boy to be released

DS History The Ds was originally introduced by Nintendo in 2003 as a 3rd pillar, along with the Game Boy advance and the GameCube. However, due to backward compatibility, touchscreen, and microphone, and wireless compatibility, was the successor to the Game Boy. Later on the DS lite was introduced, and featured a brighter screen, and more compact design. Then, Nintendo released the DS XL, a DS lite with a 90% bigger screen. Then came the 3DS, a ds with increased functionality, power and a 3d feature. As with the DS, the 3DS also got a similar XL version. For economically challenged gamers, Nintendo released the 2ds, a 3ds with no 3d feature, for a much less cost.

Psp history The Psp was introduced in 2003, and featured a joystick, a D-pad(Direction pad, or the “plus” formation of buttons that is generally used for moving characters in-game),typical gaming buttons, and a large screen in the middle of the console. Unlike its competitors, it used a small disc instead of a cartridge for all of its games. 9 years later, sony announced the Ps vita- a touchscreen PsP with a rear touch screen for more in game content than ever before
