Yes, here they are in release order
DS - original Ds light - slimmer version Dsi &dsi xl - removed ability to play gba games, added cameras and some exclusive. I think the exclusives for this were just a few and nothing notable, but I could be wrong. Also xl has a bigger screen.
3ds- next gen ds with 3d screen. 2ds & 3ds xl - 2 ds gets rid of the 3d screen to save cost and xl version is larger. New 2ds and 3ds - better hardware, but not a new gen. There are a very few exclusive games for it like Minecraft. Added a second joystick on the right side for camera control in some games.
Ah, thanks for proving my point, they salted the N fanboys.
There's no way you could know all this unless you dumped your bank account into all these devices plus compatible games.
Don’t have to spend money to learn stuff. Let people have their hobbies.
What's the difference between a hobby and an obsession?
A hobby is knowing the difference between a 286/386/486.. SX/DX..
An obsession is knowing why an Athlon X64 can't even run Windows 10, fuckall with Windows 11.
I gave up that obsession when I found out my Athlon 64 X2 4400+ couldn't even run Windows 10, because it's missing a particular instruction that Microslop wants to scratch their nuts with.
I really don't give a fuck anymore, I've been running Linux on my laptops for 10+ years now.
O Arbiter of what is appropriate to know, what shall be deemed appropriate for these people to know?
Tell us what is appropriate to know, for clearly we are misguided and you are the last Arbiter of appropriate knowledge!

I ain't got time to play all these games like you obsessed gamers, but have fun.
Seeing as how you're some sort of hardware tech, I bet the money I splash out on clothes would leave you bewildered. Likewise, sure, I use Linux, but only cause I want something reliable. I don't fuck with it. I spend my money looking how I want to look.
Fuckin' let people enjoy the things they enjoy. :/
Wait, you wear clothes?
You know shit about computers? Fuckin’ nerd. That’s an obsession.
You know what a hobby is? A hobby is what I like and enjoy, not you. Yours are obsessions, mine are hobbies.
It was actually a career, which earned me money, up until Windows 8 came out and I said fuck that. There's a difference between an obsession and a career, one wastes time, the other makes money.
I was the data backup guy. Wonder why I got terabytes of all sorts of stuff?
You'll never find my custom mods then.
I got Nude Raider running under both Windows and Linux.
Fuck you, and Lara titties you'll never see.
sigh
We’ll manage.
I only ever bought a 3ds xl and 4 games for it in total. Mario kart, Mario land and 2 pokemon games.
So I can know this because I can read.
