Nintendo Hand-held Tetrad

The Nindendo Entertainment System celebrated its 25^th anniversary in October of 2010 (Reisinger, 2010). It has gone through many transitions throughout the years. Nintendo’s handheld game system was released in the 1980s with games entitled Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, and so forth (Melanson, 2006).  

 

The next gaming success came when the GameBoy and its versions were released in 1989 (Melanson, 2006). The price appealed to many consumers which made GameBoy very popula

The GameBoy Color (in 1998) included better graphics and gaming experience, as did the GameBoy Advance (in 2001). The GameBoy Advanced packed more punch with the power of Super Nintendo but with a sleek design. 

 

In 2004-2005, the Nintendo DS Lite was introduced. The built-in WiFi is a great selling point, as is the sleek design and dual screen.
