Nintendo DS question

[Keyblade101 526]

My Nintendo DS is the first type that came out (it's been discontinued for awhile now) and i've had the same one for years but for the last couple monthes when i open the screen on turn it on the colors on the top screen look like one of the pictures you highlight and copy. Well now i'm thinking of getting a new DS but i'm worried about the save data for all my games. if i get a new one will the progress from all my games still be there in the new DS? :unsure: A friend of mine told me that game progress is saved on the game card and not the DS itself. Could anyone verify that please?

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

Yes, yes it will. See, unlike the PSP, or home consoles, the DS and 3DS cartridges have a built in battery, so all your saved data is saved to that specific card. So if you're to upgrade, you will still have your data. If you were to upgrade, I suggest the DSi or the 3DS.

[Miku Hatsune 636]

Progress from old games are saved on the game cartridge or whatever, not on the DS itself.

 

You should be fine if you plan on getting a new one.

[Lu Xun 2,069]

You won't lose anything. Just a get a new DS and enjoy your games

Get a Nintendo 3DS for much better graphics, quality, console sexiness, videos and heaps more.

especially the sexiness, I'm still praying for a DoA extreme game for 3D booby action!

i'm om eBay right now looking at a NDS Lite that's new for $109.99 and refurbished for $82.00. i'm thinking of getting the refurbished one because it's cheaper but will it work like it's a new one? And what other differences between new and refurbished?

i'm om eBay right now looking at a NDS Lite that's new for $109.99 and referbished for $82.00. i'm thinking of getting the referbished one because it's cheaper but will it work like it's a new one? And what other differences between new and referbished?

 

Don't buy consoles on eBay. Buy it from a store. And don't get a DS lite. Their a waste of money now. 3DS all the way.

[Mirr0rVS13 169]

Get a 3DS since its backwards compatible (meaning you can play DS and 3DS games on it) and so that you could play Kingdom Hearts 3D when it releases for the system.

[axel91 161]

Get a 3DS so you can play both DS and 3DS games.

Thankfully, everything is saved right on the cartridge

 

Get a 3DS, $170 is well worth the money for it and I've seen some stores give you a gift card with it (I saw one in a flyer today where the gift card was $40!).

That's for North America.

I'm assuming keyblade101 lives in North America. Hopefully he does, because a 3DS might be too expensive in other countries.

Not in Australia. The normal price here is $250 but it's on special most of the time for either $199 or $200. And you can get it at the moment from Dick Smith for $189.

$189 in Australia actually might be a better deal than $170 in NA, considering you guys have a higher minimum wage...

_{Yeah, like in Brazil. Mine was around $300-$350, and it had adiscount; it was $400]}

But isn't that in Reais? If you convert it to us dollars they should be about the same, I assume.

_{No, the normal price is 800reais. I got mine for 600 reais}

_{1,80 dollars to 2,00 dollars = 1 real}

Hey Lizzie. Just to let you know i DO live in N.A.

P.S. i'm a girl.

[axel91 161]

Since you are in NA, do you know if you can trade in your broken DS at GameStop or not? If you can, I think you can get a discount on a 3DS (not sure how many dollars though)

Sorry bout the gender confusion, it's hard to tell with some people's usernames

[Keyblade101 526]

i think that's only the DSi and DS Lite Axel.

S'okay Lizzie.

Buy the 3DS in a cheap yet reliable game store.

'Nuff said.
