Nintendo is a powerhouse in the handheld gaming market, and since the release of the Game Boy they have been the unreachable pinnacle of achievement; unmatched by any competitor. Their latest outing in the handheld market, the Nintendo DS, has been lighting up the sales chart both in Japan and North America since launch – and why wouldn’t it? With an unmatched number of original titles and games taking full advantage of the bottom touch screen the DS is truly a gamer’s handheld. At this year’s E3, Nintendo devoted a very large percentage of their floor space to the DS; even in the midst of all the excitement focused around the Wii. Using the new and very sexy DS Lite, soon to be released in North America (already available in Japan), Nintendo showcased a horde of new titles, and was one of the hot topics around the show floor.
