Nintendo at the 2004 E3 exhibition was abnormal and did not choose Japanese executives to host their press conference as before. The one who appeared on the scene was a Haitian-American man with dark skin and strong physique. The opening remark was also extremely brief and full of courage. My name is Reggie. I came here today to kick the competitors’ butts to make a name for themselves, but we rely on games!The inflammatory opening remarks and his strong and confident aura made the players in the audience stunned. They were so domineering. OK, is this still the traditional and old-fashioned Nintendo?
Afterwards, Reggie took out Nintendo's latest gaming handheld from her top pocket, which is NDS. This foldable handheld has two screens at the same time, and the lower screen is also a touch screen design.
You should know that in 2004, the phones on the market were all designed with buttons, and the touch screen gameplay design was definitely the latest, coolest and trendy at that time. After all, the first generation of IPHONE Apple phones were only launched in 2007.
Although the design of touch screens is not surprising now because of the popularity of smartphones, in 2004, this was definitely a big news that caused sensation among players.
Moreover, at the press conference, Reggie also explained Nintendo's next Blue Ocean plan, preparing to allow more undeveloped users to join in and purchase Nintendo's products. At the same time, it also claimed that Nintendo's future game works will be targeted at all ages, and both children and the elderly will enjoy it.
On September 21, 2004, Nintendo officially disclosed the release time and price of the NDS handheld console. It was nearly half a month earlier than the Sony PSP, and the price was 4,800 yen cheaper than the PSP. The price of NDS was only 15,000 yen.
After this series of combination punches, Sony was also a little confused. In 2003, Nintendo had no movement. As a result, NDS was developed in just one year, and directly chose to block PSP in terms of release date and pricing. Nintendo wanted to have a positive attitude with Sony.
On November 21, 2004, Nintendo NDS won the first release in North America.
The first version of NDS has two CPUs, namely ARM946E-S and ARM7TDMI-S. These two CPUs are one main and one pair, and the secondary CPU is the same as G plug, so it can be backward compatible with G plug gaming cassettes.
In addition to the touch screen design, the body also has a built-in microphone, so players can manipulate the game through sound commands.
NDS supports WI-FI protocol and has built-in wireless communication functions. It can be played online with multiple NDS handheld users, which can be said to be very convenient.
In terms of appearance, it also pays tribute to Nintendo's veteran handheld console GAME&WATCH, and adopts a foldable upper and lower dual-screen design. Although it is a bit bloated in size, it is acceptable.
Unsurprisingly, once NDS was released, it set a sales record of 500,000 units on the first week of North America.
NDS was released in Japan on December 2, 2004, with sales reaching 570,000 in the first week.
On April 21, 2005, the first full-score NDS game in handheld console history, "Nintendo", was released in Japan, and Nintendo officially announced 4 new colors for NDS consoles.
The game "Nenton Dog" also attracted a large number of Blue Ocean users to purchase NDS consoles. Although many players thought that this was an electronic pet game at that time, and they had played electronic pet eggs, what fun could it be?
But the result was piapia slapped in the face, and the law of true fragrance appeared again. The author also started raising pet dogs in real life because of the game "Nenten Dog"... "Nenten Dog" eventually became a veritable masterpiece of sales of tens of millions. Although this game is really a dog simulator, I just can't help but give instructions to the dogs in the microphone every day. It's really addictive.
The NDS games "Animal Crossing", "Pokemon Series", "The Phantom Hourglass of the Legend of Zelda", "The Whistle of the Legend of Zelda", etc. that are released later. There are really many games on NDS that can impress players. Of course, the sales of these games are not said to be true, and Nintendo also made a lot of money.
On March 2, 2006, the NDS family welcomed a new member NDSLITE.
There is not much difference in performance from the first generation of NDS, basically maintaining its original state, but the new appearance design improves portability and makes NDSL smaller.
However, because the appearance of the NDSL has been reduced, there will be a protrusion of about 1CM when inserting the G-removable cassette, which is a relatively embarrassing thing.
Although it does not affect any use, it will indeed seriously affect the appearance of NDSL.
At the end of 2006, Nintendo began to develop an upgraded version of the NDS handheld console, namely NDSi.
The original plan was to launch NDSi in 2007, but it was delayed due to the size and appearance design, and it was later redesigned and the layout continued.
In October 2008, the upgraded NDSi was announced for the first time at the Nintendo Fall Conference in Tokyo, Japan, and announced that it will be officially released in Japan on November 1 of the same year.
NDSi looks and specifications the same as NDSL, but increases the screen size and adds camera functionality, and greatly improves performance compared to NDSL.
However, in order to further reduce the thickness and cost of the handheld console, the slot for the G-removable cassette has also been cut off, which is equivalent to canceling the function of backward compatible game cassettes.
However, in addition to being compatible with all NDS games, it also has an independent digital game lineup DSiWARE (a Dsi store available for download).
In fact, the emergence of NDSi is also a competition with mobile phones.
As mentioned earlier, the first generation of IPHONE began to lead the era of popularization of smart touch screen mobile phones in 2007, and Nintendo will definitely start competing with mobile phones.
President Iwata Satoshi once said in 2008 that while mobile phone manufacturers compete in image quality and zoom skills, music player manufacturers in storage space and host size, Nintendo is trying to open up a new path for the possibility of digital media interaction.The launch of Nintendo's NDSi has indeed successfully stabilized the sales of Nintendo's handheld consoles. As of October 2009, Reggie, then the president of Nintendo, the man at the 2004 E3 exhibition, announced that Nintendo's NDSi's sales in North America had reached 2.2 million.
On November 21, 2009, NDSi's large-screen modified version of NDSi LL was launched in Japan.
Compared with NDSi, the NDSi LL has a larger screen, reaching 42 inches, and the screen viewing angle has also been greatly improved.
NDSi LL is the largest and heaviest model in the entire NDS series, with about 314g. You should know that the first generation NDS is only 275g. When compared with the two, the NDS is no longer heavy.
Of course, the advantage of getting bigger is that the battery capacity will definitely increase. The battery capacity of NDSi LL reaches 1050mAh, and the gaming time can also last up to 10-17 hours.
On March 31, 2017, Nintendo officially announced that it had suspended NDSi SHOP services.
The entire NDS family's entire series of models have withdrawn from the historical stage. From the initial NDS to the final NDSi LL, the total global sales exceeded 154.02 million, becoming the well-deserved highest-selling handheld.
The final sales of the PSP series of Sony's next door were only 82 million, which can be said to have been hit by Nintendo NDS. However, considering the sales of all Nintendo's opponents in the field of handhelds, Sony is also proud.
Because among all the competitors competing with Nintendo's handheld console market, only Sony has the highest performance. Other products can have a million sales volume, which is considered a great deal. The 820 million results are enough to prove that Sony's PSP is indeed an excellent handheld console. Unfortunately, it encountered the NDS monster.
Overall objectively speaking, NDS's success should actually be attributed to the change in Nintendo's business strategy. If it is still the old-fashioned and traditional idea, it is estimated that NDS will probably also embark on the hardware competition path, and it will definitely be hit by Sony PSP in the end.
Under the influence of Satoshi Iwata, Nintendo changed its business strategy and focused its attention on blue ocean users, which indeed made it a great success, giving Sony a blow to the handheld field.
No wonder players always joke that Nintendo is the only god in the handheld console field, and he does have this strength.
However, the failure of PSP did not make Sony Cute want to retreat. The next round of handheld machine competition is already in full swing!
