Nintendo DS Keynote: 10 Years Later

On the tenth anniversary of the Nintendo DS keynote at E3 2004, Federico and Myke take a look back at Nintendo’s announcements on that day and the gaming industry from a decade ago.

On May 11, 2004, Nintendo officially introduced the first-generation Nintendo DS – a console that would go on to revolutionize portable gaming and set new paradigms for touch-enabled games for the next several years.

We did a lot of research for this episode – make sure you don’t miss my Flickr set with scans of old videogame magazines showing photos of E3 2004 and the first tech demos and games. It’s difficult to measure the impact of the Nintendo DS on the industry and Nintendo itself in two hours, but we tried our best.
