How could Nintendo improve an already great handheld experience after the release and success of the Game Boy Advance? By adding a touch screen to it! Over an hour, our 5 Nintendo DS experts will help you reminisce about the history of the console. Then with the help of the PAX East audience, we will build the essential list of 15 must-have Nintendo DS titles. Audience members will be given 15 seconds to make their pitches, so come prepared! 

Between 2 Screens – A Nintendo DS Retrospective was recorded live at PAX East 2024 on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre.
