Current Generation Handheld

In this blog post I will be writing about current generation handhelds such as the Nintendo DS or the PSP.  But in this post I will be explaining some of the features of the Nintendo DS some of those could be the power supply, platform design, price and usability.

• Platform Design: Well the main focus on this particular games device is that it has two screen which the bottom is of course a touch screen, it has two game ports so you can play Nintendo DS games as well has you could play Game Boy Advance games which you would insert in the bottom, it also has 8 buttons if you include the A, B, X, Y, start, select and the two left and right triggers and it also has a volume control slider located on the bottom left of the device and then an adapter to insert some headphones into.

• Usability: Handheld products  are very useful when it comes to portability, as you can pretty much take it anywhere you go for example if you were going on a log car journey with friends you might take that rather than lugging around a whole entire console which wouldn't work on the road anyway.

• Price: the original price for this product was around £150 but also has exclusive deals for it which included some sort of artwork imprinted onto it for example you could have a DS which has Pokemon artwork when you buy the new Pokemon game, but for people who want a DS now you could easily get one for around half of its original price.

• Power Supply: The Nintendo DS and all Nintendo handhelds before it all have the same sort of power supply which is basically a power lead which you can plug into a plug socket and the lead connects to the DS, but each Nintendo handheld has different sizes for the power supply for example the Game Boy Advance the end of the power lead is quite think whereas the Nintendo DS it quite thinner in comparison.
