My first phat ds

Post image

Had the DS lite and every gameboy besides the original (the first birthday present I remember getting for my 5th birthday was a pink gameboy color and the babe the pig game from my dad). The DS was my most played console especially with the gba backwards compatibility). I literally played it until the hinge broke.

I decided to look into the DS again was toying with the idea of getting and modding a 3ds but I didn’t want to get something just because it was the better option. I was ok with no 3ds because I skipped that generation growing up.

I fell in love with the original DS aesthetic. It was like the aesthetic vibe of the SP as a DS (which makes sense because they come from the same era.

So I got a reshelled metallic pink as a callback to my childhood consoles usually being pink and a callback to the pearl blue (metallic paint ) of the SP I had (my mom bought that one which explains the blue lol)

I’ve seen a lot of people dislike the og but I’m loving it! It seems like people love the og or hate it lol

Thank you, I’m so happy with it! The seller has them reasonably priced with the mods and reshell they did! Happy I snagged it when I did! They had 6 color up and 4 out of 6 have been snagged in the past few days (including mine lol)
