I got my old Nintendo DSs out. I have 3 of them. And all my games.

I’m currently playing Animal crossing on the Switch.

My Xmas tree!

My animal crossing Xmas tree.

All 3 of us used to play Animal Crossing together and I'd go into the kids world? and shake all trees and pilfer what I could. πŸ˜‚

Haha I’m shaking trees at the moment to get the baubles to make Christmas themed items.

The DS was an absolute gem of a device.

My son acquired a DS a few weeks ago. He loves it but the games can be hard to get. And it was his birthday last week so we've worked out we have a DS, wii and a switch, and a PS 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I'm being swallowed by gaming systems.

You can get a special cartridge for the ds that allows you to download games to it.

This one. Then you can basically google "ds roms download" and go from there.

The wii, ps1, ps2 and ps3 can all be hacked also lol

My husband used to put hundreds of games on them for friends and family

If you need any help with this stuff, shoot me a message :) I love hacking consoles.

The wii is really, really easy. Just a usb stick.

Thankyou, we will take you up on that when life settles down a bit!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No worries at all :)

I got one of these from Caribbean Market as a child and it doesn't work anymore. Maybe it's time for another one

40 bucks from Amazon is pretty decent. They used to be a nightmare to find.

The switch has one as well

My son still misses his 3DS which a very small Miniest poured milk all over. Would replace it if I could. Beats the heck out of the modern day switch device imho.

Ahh, my old DS broke. (Like 10 year plus old)

I had Animal Crossing, some game about befriending cats, and Spore

What a throwback! I sold my DS for the DSi but I wish I kept the DS!
