Hello guys ! Welcome to my little blog. ₊˚⊹♡
So a few months back I kinda developed an interest in old tech and games but it all seemed very intimidating to me. Then I thought what better way to ease into this interest of mine than buying an old gaming console (especially since I never really got to own any games or consoles as a kid, even though I really really wanted to) ! I decided on a pink NDS lite !
It's homebrew so it has Gameboy, GBA and Sega games on it. Pretty neat ! It also came with 1000+ nds games pre-installed and I can install more using the ndsromset on the internet archive. Here are some mini-reviews of the games I have played so far (rated out of 5 •ᴗ•'s) :
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
i have heard that if you ever owned a ds and never played ace attorney, you failed at life,, so i knew i had to try it ! i binged the first game and finished it in a few days. really fun. nice courtroom drama and fun gameplay.
Kirby Superstar Ultra:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
another popular game ! it's so cute and fun and found it to be just the right amount of challenging. i also like how the main game doesn't try so hard to incorporate the ds touchscreen thingy as much as some other games because that can get kinda annoying !
Cooking Mama:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
it's a cool little game. kinda reminds me of the stuff i used to play on girlsgogames back in the flash games era.
GTA Chinatown Wars:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
this is one of the games i was looking forward to playing the most ! i got stuck during one of the missions and can't progress :/ but it's so fun, especially as someone who's a bit older than the demographic that most ds games were made for, i found this to be one of my favorites. the writing isn't as good as the other gta games but it's still decent and the gameplay is fun.
Rhythm Paradise:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
fun but harder than i expected. made me wanna chuck my ds across the room several times. kind of a blow to my ego since i'm taking guitar and singing lessons at the moment. i think i should be better at a rhythm game. ( • - • ) ...
Ghost Trick:
rating: •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ• •ᴗ•
underrated gem ! it's a puzzle game, made by the same guy who created ace attorney, so it has that mystery/detective element to it. you basically wake up as a ghost, with an ability to possess inanimate objects and looking 4 minutes into the past of any current event. the storyline (!!) and gameplay are both awesome !

That concludes my blog ! What other nds games should I try? Also are there any pieces of old tech that you would like to own?

glad i was helpful !! would love to hear how you like these. (fun fact: there's a way to get them for free legally, since they're so old that they're considered basically abandonware. i could help you with that if you'd like !)
