From the hardware revisions to the best “DS” subtitle, we dive deep into this weird and wonderful system and the games it inspired. And then, of course, we spend way too much time debating the top 25 DS games of all time (with the caveat that there’s a ton of games we haven’t played for the system). We’ll post the full list soon.
