This boded well with THQ, who had great confidence in 5th Cell following the success of their previous titles, resulting in a more ambitious direction for gameplay and story compared to the first game, which led to better critical and fan reception. Its production faced similar issues to the first game's development, with crunch being especially straining on the game's content, to the point where an entire section from [[Lavasteam]] and an additional was removed. One of the more notable removals was the inclusion of multiplayer minigames, first (and, to date, last) documented in a 2009 GameSpot article published in preparation for that year's E3<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/drawn-to-life-the-next-chapter-first-look/1100-6210312/ Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter First Look - GameSpot]</ref>.

After Satoru Iwata overtook Yamauchi as president, he felt supportive of the project, believing Nintendo could delve into more creative ventures for markets they previously had compacted ventures with. Announced in January 2004 and first shown off at E3 that same year before a slight design revision in late July, the system was slated to be a revolutionary system, with its most notable attributes being the bottom screen's touch sensor, an early form of wireless multiplayer via Download Play and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (WFC) and higher game production opportunities compared to its predecessor, as well as the dual screens.

 The Nintendo DS launched first in North America on November 20th, 2004 with it's Japanese launch occurring that same December, and the PAL launch taking place in February (AUS) and March (EU) 2005 respectively. The system was a critical and commercial success, with its features widely considered a revolution for handheld devices. The DS sold a grand total of 153.1M units across it's four variations, making it the best-selling handheld games console of all time. It also housed sizeable third-party support, with many of these games considered shovelware, although acclaimed third-party titles remained frequent. The system would release its final first-party title in 2012, and eventually be discontinued entirely with its last third-party title in 2014.
