Portable Play in Everyday Life: The Nintendo DS by Samuel Tobin
English | 16 Oct. 2013 | ISBN: 113739658X | 138 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

Despite the fact that the Nintendo DS is one the most popular game systems of all time, theorists have largely ignored it. Here, Samuel Tobin argues that the reason for this is that the DS is literally and figuratively beneath notice and not just by game scholars but by its own players as well. Indeed it is the very "everydayness" of the Nintendo DS and of mobile gaming in general that is invisible yet filled with critical potential.
