An early Nintendo DS only had the top screen flip up and a different button layout. The X and Y buttons aren’t in this prototype. A speaker takes up that spot. Game Boy Advance backwards compatibility wasn’t part of the plan either. DS cards plugged into the bottom and there wasn’t a second slot. Actually, this early design looks a lot like a rectangular Game Boy Advance with a second screen.
What do you think of this Nintendo DS? If Nintendo released it would it be as successful as the DS Phat ?
