Green light.
After last week’s 3DS 15th anniversary, we knew it was only a matter of time before another big hardware birthday sent us spiralling; we just didn’t expect it to come this quickly.
Today marks 20 years since the launch of the DS Lite in Japan — a fact that we are totally comfortable and okay with. Yes, on 2nd March 2006, Nintendo launched the slimmer, glossier, more colourful counterpart to the OG phat DS, and it was a beauty.
