Nintendo DS is considered by many to be the perfect Nintendo console, and the fact is that the era of this portable console really brought great growth to the company, along with the launch of the Nintendo Wii, they were one of the consoles that caused the most impact on history, and remained in the hearts of many.
Something that seems quite striking to us is that many nostalgic players keep their old consoles once they become obsolete with the change of generation, even if they are not going to play anymore. But what happens when that console you love so much breaks? Do you just throw it in the trash? A player thought of keeping it in a very original way, and incidentally paying homage to one of the most popular consoles in history.
As shown by u/Wolve5000 through the Reddit forums, after many years and hours of playing his Nintendo DS Lite stopped working, so he decided to pay tribute to it by disassembling it and displaying its pieces in a painting. As if it were the model of an anatomy class, this user exposes from the screen or the buttons to the motherboard and the battery, all the components that gave life to the most popular portable console in history.
Apart from being a fantastic idea to preserve history and not generate more waste than necessary, the truth is that as a piece of decoration it would look spectacular in most environments. Being a portable console, things are not very complicated, if we have to disassemble and frame the pieces of a desktop console the size of a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, we are going to need a larger frame, and more space on the wall.
With nearly 155 million consoles sold, the Nintendo DS is the most popular console in Nintendo history, but the Switch is fast approaching with its estimated sales of more than 102 million units. Can the hybrid console catch up with its predecessor? It seems a bit difficult as things stand in terms of raw materials and rumors of a new generation of Switch have been around for months.
