No worries, if it's going I'll take it, if not, no panic.

If anyones in need, I have one of those samus returns special editions available! I was gonna give it to someone off neogaf, but when he learnt the postage to the US would be about 40-50 notes at least, he decided against it.

Nice! How'd you lay your hands on that?

Still hoping that Nintendo send mine to my Parcel Wizard address...

I dug out my original (and only!) DS the other night. I had got it as a present soon after it came out, but never played it much. I started on Mario Brothers the other night and played the first two worlds. I forgot how good it is....I can't wait to get home to play more of it tonight

I've completed Mario. Does anybody have any game recommendations? I did Google best DS games, but there was so many different lists that I couldn't decide which game to play next!

Get the Professor Layton games, Phoenix Wright ones too unfortunately most good ds games retail at a very high price,the pokemon ones are astronomically high over the pokemon go craze really, ones like Chrono Trigger too will be upwards of €40, keep an eye on adverts for Sonic games and most Lego games are gems, Star Wars Indiana Jones and Batman if just for the theme music.

I've played an embarrassingly large amount of the DS library, it would help to know though what sorta games you're generally into though.

Ace Attorney

MH stories did reasonably well in metacritic

You've got
-Pokemon
-Professor Layton
-Ace Attorney
-The World Ends With You
-Yoshi's Island
-Mario 64 DS
-Dragon Quest
-Shin Megami Tensei
-9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors
-LoZ Phantom Hourglass
-LoZ Spirit Tracks

Off the top of my head, the DS has a fantastic library

But that'd work with the new 2DS?

RobbingBandit

Generations got sold off by Smyths for €10 a few months after it came out.

Yep

DS only plays DS games, 2DS and 3DS can play DS and 3DS games.

So Luigi's Mansion is sound on 2DS

CiDeRmAn

Some more great titles too

Soul Bubbles
Aliens
Alice in Wonderland
Korg D's
Infinite Space
Etrian Odyssey
Guitar Hero
Puzzle Bobble Galaxy

Is it difficult to downgrade 3ds xl firmware, bloody action replay won't work since I accidentally upgraded an old console, don't have the damned usb cable to update the action replay neither, am getting back into old school pokemon games and just wanna make them easier to play.

Agreed. I traded-in my Professor Layton titles because of this. The only puzzles that don't make me feel stupid are ones in Zelda games....

@Robbing Bandit: What's 'Generations'?

WARNING TO ALL 2DS/3DS FAMILY USERS: Apologise for all-caps, but this CANNOT be stressed enough; they are REGION-LOCKED! I have seen at least one person have to return an NTSC 3DS game, with much hassle, because they overlooked that point....

Banjo

Think he meant Monster Hunter generations.

Note, the region lock on the 2/3DS applies to DS games as well as 3DS games, even though the DS itself was not region locked!

RobbingBandit

Monster Hunter Generations it was the prior game to Monster Hunter Stories just released.

...and furthermore, my client would like to remind all your viewers that the lack of braille-based warnings of prosecution of shoplifters suggests that far from being a SNES-mini-thieving bastard, he is in fact the victim here, and Smyths should consider the contents of his swag bag a mere down payment of the damages owed for the emotional trauma this trial by media has caused. But if you'd like to know how much trauma, you'll have to buy the book, available from Easons this Christmas!
