Nintendo DS

[jono]

Hi guys, it's time for Jono's strange question of the day!!!

Today's question is... Does a Nintendo DS have "region" coding like a DVD player?

i.e. if I buy a Nintendo DS in the USA can I buy games for it in the UK - and more importantly... will they work on my American DS?

And what good games are there out there?

Thanks
Jono

Yes I believe they will work. I'm pretty sure no game boy of any type ever had any region coding.

As for good DS games...

I've got:

Mario 64 DS
Zelda: The phantom hourglass
Mario Kart DS
Diddy Kong Racing
Worms 2

And all of em are great.

Worms, Diddy Kong and Mario Kart are especially great when playing multiplayer.

There's no region coding on game carts. All you need to be concerned about is the different voltage needed for the battery charger.

Quote, all the games are region-free

Youre good with DS in any region, I think. I loved True Swing golf as a time waster- very underrated!

Thanks guys, I'm going to look into one for the wife and I to take on trips and such. I'm fairly sure I can pick up a new transformer/charger here so I'm not too worried about that angle - as far as I know the DS itself is the same internally (I'll let you know iif it's not )
