Nintendo

In 1989 Gunpei Yokoi would go on to developing the Gameboy line of videogame handhelds, which proved to be another massive success. The Gameboy line would later be succeeded by the Nintendo DS in 2004, which later replaced the Gameboy as the best selling handheld of all time.

The company still continued to make new home consoles throughout the years, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube. In 2006 Nintendo released the Wii, a console that uses motion controls. Along with the Nintendo DS, the Wii helped broadened its audience.

Nintendo's current generation of handheld and console are the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The Nintendo 3DS was released as the successor to the Nintendo DS in March 2011, which allows games to be viewed in 3D and can connect to other 3DS handhelds using a function called Streetpass. The Wii U is the successor to the Wii U, which utilizes a new controller called a GamePad, which has a built-in touch screen for extra functionality, and can also allow the user to play games without always needing a television screen. The Wii U was released in November 2012.
