The Nintendo DS introduced touchscreens to a generation of gamers.

The Nintendo DS eased people into the concept of touchscreens because it was basically a Game Boy.

The original DS helped show a generation of gamers just what’s possible with a touchscreen.

Some of the bestselling DS games are ones that wouldn’t have been possible without that touchscreen.

Nintendo also snuck touch elements into its biggest franchises, so you could fight in a new way in The Legend of Zelda or tap through even more bizarre minigames in WarioWare .

Two decades later , a touchscreen is an assumed part of almost any gaming device.

It would be weird if modern hardware like the Switch or PlayStation Portal didn't have touchscreens.

What was once novel to me has since become the norm; when I passed down an old DS to my oldest kid, she wasn't shocked or amazed that she could pet a virtual pup.
