Touche was one the original names we came up with for the Nintendo DS.
The Nintendo "Touche."
Touche is a French word meaning "touched." It is a fencing term meaning that you've been hit with the sword and you admit defeat. Funny that the word for defeat in fencing is French.
Anyways, we didn't think we wanted our system meaning "defeat" so we though about "Nitro" so we could score some points for illiteration, but it didn't seem to describe the system well.
Finally we went with "DS" to simply mean "Dual Screen"
By the way, everything I wrote in this post is complete BS.
