Nintendo dropped its DS family back in the 2000s with a dream of reaching out to millions of gamers. They wanted to introduce a new era of gaming with their cordless products as it would become easier for users to game despite being at any place in the world.
The Japanese giant released the second version in the 3DS family in 2012, taking fans into a new era of gaming. With the title Nintendo 2DS, the franchise added top games like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 7, The Legend Of Zelda, and many more. However, with time, fans moved on to better consoles, upgrading their Nintendo products to the latest.

Most companies in the UK mourns our majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
Her death impacted the world and changed everything, and most handheld and home consoles made in the UK mourned the Queen. And will go back to normal at Monday 19th, 10 days after her majesty's death.— SnakeSnack GT (@SnakesnackGT) September 12, 2022
