Free if you emulate 🧠
Many of the best DS games are built around the hardware in ways that make it difficult to get the full experience from trying to emulate.
I missed out every Pokémon game after Platinum since buying a new system was just too much for me to afford as a child. I gather from your username that you’re a fan of the franchise - do you have any suggestions for how to get back into the series from where I left off most cost-effectively while retaining the essential functions? Obviously, some online servers and events for certain gameplay elements are no longer available for cartridge gameplay.
Pokemon is one game where you won't miss much through emulation. They did occasionally play around with hardware gimmicks for a few bonus minigames or whatever, but all of that stuff is skippable and unimportant to the core gameplay.
Everytime it was a "Wow. That's neat!"
Proceeds to never do it again
You should checkout retro achievements. I just finished mastering Pokemon Red & Blue and even finished a professor oak challenge run. Completely free and you can even use retro arch (the front end for a ton of different emulators) on your mobile! Feel free to pm me with any questions.
There’s hardware made to emulate that too, should you go that route. Not free though.
The thing you emulate it on is not free. The internet you used was not free. Your time is not free.
Emulate it on a free government phone
Free McDonald's wifi
Then why is it called "free time?" 🤔
Checkmate.
Go gettem kolanski, fuck His ass up.
Oh no
Anyway
I've discovered this recently and am loving playing Mario 3D land with my son.
I play it on my laptop, but I'm happy to hear that children are acceptable hardware emulation devices
Way more expensive than a DS though
Like a real life Tamagotchi. You mean you have to feed it every day?
Well, he's 4 so he doesn't really care about Fortnite , Minecraft or Roblox yet. Also the tiny retro handheld console I have is easier on his little hands.
Can easily play Doom on it.
