NDS nostalgia and some chat about the nswitch ( ;∀;)

Awww do you guys remember 2004-2005 when the ds got released? it was like nintendos future with good quality games (on that era ofc) and well you would use it on university or in my case everytime I arrived home from school or going to my grandmas house I used to grab my stuff with the ds and play almost all day, and I had millions of games, I would play pictochat too even though I was the only one playing- sadly times has changed and games are now very good, very nice quality and new plots but they're sooo expensive (at least for nintendo tho) :( I mean everyone literally used r4 for the ds games BUT I'm not talking only about that, there's also the brand new covers on the switch and it's slowwly becoming way more simple (like idk if you guys have seen or played gi but when u get a character + the official character art in twt was different now it's just the same thing ) and well idk if it's only me but I miss playing with my friends with the nds in some party or something similar, they where the best (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡ 


(Also if you guys know any us game shop near las Vegas, Orlando or Jacksonville who stills sells nds plss hmu I need to know)

I wasn't even born yet when the original DS came out, and I was a toddler around the Dslite/DSi days. I did have a 3DS though! I had such fond memories with that thing. I remember staying up super late at night just so I could play the arcade mini game in Tomodachi Life, as well as chatting with people on Tortimers Island in Animal Crossing New Leaf.

Speaking of animal crossing, does anyone here feel like new horizons is kinda soulless? I do enjoy the whole customization options that the previous games didn't have, but I feel like its lacking that sense of calm community that I remember in new leaf.

I actually never played new leaf (I was more of a Wild World user) and also I actually had a dsi xl (ig it was the pink one the unique on the store 4 christmas that time) but I do can agree that animal crossing it's kinda losing it's track but it stills a pretty nice game tho 


I still miss the old days man |ω;`)

I miss my OG DS. I liked pictochat, but texting was already a thing so it didn't get much use.

I still have my DS Lite and use it occasionally(What am I saying? I still play my Gameboy Pocket. Tecmo Bowl and Super Mario Land are just better in monochrome.).

My nostalgia for the DS is weird since I used it for a much shorter time frame. I started with a GBA when the DS was already released and by the time I got a DS the 3DS was a few years from being released. So I ended up playing more on the GBA and 3DS and not so much on the DS. 


So most of my DS nostalgia is surrounding the advertisements and promotional websites around the time and not as much playing on the DS itself.

NDS was really special, easily my favorite handheld! So many creative games and software, pictochat was so chill, flipnote studio... I was already in high school when the original phat DS launched, but man if that thing didn't get me through my 20s lol.
