We've been around for a while here at Pocket-lint, since 2003 in fact, and so, as you can imagine, we've collected quite a bit of stuff over time.

In the case of Nintendo, that's every DS handheld console since it first launched in 2005 - in all it's big silver glory.

So, we thought, what better way to celebrate the launch of the latest console - the Nintendo 3DS on the 25 March in the UK - by getting the family together for a portrait.

In total, there's the following:

Nintendo DS (2005)

Nintendo DS Lite (2006)

Nintendo DSi (2009)

Nintendo DSi XL (2010)

Nintendo 3DS (2011)

What's clearly obvious is that, after the first rather large clunky offering in 2005, not much has changed. The Nintendo 3DS is the smallest of the bunch, adds a second camera in favour of the single camera found on the DSi and the DSi XL, as well as a stack of other changes, like the shift to a standard 3.5mm headphones socket.

They're cute lined up, don't you think?

So which one did you have?
