Nintendo DS anniversary sparks ideas for playing classic games on Switch 2

This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS, prompting discussions about how to play its classic games on the upcoming 'Switch 2'. Many beloved titles remain exclusive to the DS due to its unique dual-screen design and touch controls. While some DS games have been ported to the Switch, the adaptations often struggle with the original's features. Examples include using a single screen or modifying controls, but these solutions have not fully captured the DS experience. A recent demonstration showed DS games running on a Switch in portrait mode, suggesting potential for 'Switch 2' to better support dual-screen gameplay. Ideas include using magnetic Joy-Con attachments and creating a dedicated library for DS titles, enhancing nostalgia for fans.
