DS Superfat (2004)
The prototype DS shown in 2004 was rounded and slightly bulbous, with a glossy black border around the screen and a top half that didn't look like it wanted to be attached to the bottom half. This was the year that Sony turned heads with the stylish PSP, and absolutely everyone predicted the DS would be crushed. Nintendo's response was to carve away bits of the casing, adding angles that made it look more like the DeLorean from Back to the Future, and almost 50 million units later, nobody - least of all Sony - sees the funny side any more.
He's not wrong (2004)
It was a sweltering California morning when the thousands of attendees jam-packed into the Hollywood and Highland centre set an eardrum-rupturing new record for the loudest, most raucous press conference we've ever experienced. The reason - the debut of "realistic" Zelda, later known as Twilight Princess. Grown men shrieked for joy at the brief trailer, and sobbed with weak-kneed admiration as Shigsy strode onto the stage, whipped out his Master Sword and proclaimed: "I am not Link."
