Back in the days of the DS and 3DS, Nintendo deployed “Nintendo Download Stations” and the “Nintendo Zone” service as a means of wirelessly distributing special content such as game demos at events and stores. Tucked away within these distribution methods, however, was a very anomalous piece of hardware that most Nintendo fans have probably never witnessed before – until now!
As you can see above, Nintendo actually used a bizarre single-screen DS that would download data before distributing it to nearby Nintendo Zone users. It’s quite out of this world – especially since it has no buttons, only the touch screen, and can still run retail Nintendo DS games (well, only half of their content, anyway).
