What are the best ds games in the market?

What Nintendo DS Lite cases are good?

  • I really want a case for my DS Lite that can hold a few games and doesn't suck in some silly way. It doesn't need to hold the power adapter, as my main concern is portability. Being able to play the DS while inside the case is also not something I'm interested in at all. It doesn't even have to be a "real" case built for the DS—it could just be something that works well for the job.Do any MeFites have a case for your DS Lite that you're particularly fond of? I searched the Green and only found http://ask.metafilter.com/45252/DS-lite-case, which unfortunately wasn't useful. None of my friends were big fans of anything on the market, and I can't say I've seen anything that looks spectacular. But I'm hopeful!

  • Answer:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000V7V3VC/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ looks sturdy and meets interior space desires, but I'm hesitant to buy a hard-shell case like this one. It gives off a "bulky, heavy" vibe that the limited space in my messenger bag probably won't like.

I have http://www.renchi.com/renchi/Product?productID=20281 case from Hori in both black and white...works great for me. Tough enough on the outside (Cordura fabric) and soft on the inside, holds 3 cartridges (plus the one in the game), velcro and snap closure. Two Thumbs Up. http://www.thinkmac.net/blog/archives/review-waterfield-nintendo-ds-lite-case.html one looks pretty similar, but I don't have any direct experience with it.

I love the Waterfield Designs DS case. http://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-ds/nintendods.htm

Mass/volume. Dammit.

If you stored your games on a microSD card in an http://r4ds.com/index-en.htm, then you could buy the smallest case available (maybe just a silicone cover?) and be free to tote around the bare minimum mass/density necessary for gaming (with chassis protection) without resorting to hardware hacks. A 2 GB microSD card costs about $20 and holds ~30 DS games (assuming an average size of 60 MB each).

The WaterField DS Lite case is out, 'cause it's leather. (The use of leather has been deprecated, so to speak.) It does look really nice, though. Luckily, Zacho also linked to their general-purpose gear pouch, which looks like a good option. I like that taxi pattern. The Hori pouch Exchequer mentioned looks really great, and I found http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-b6-49-en-70-1by3.html today that looks pretty sweet. It's a little more bag, so to speak, than the others, but it fastens onto a messenger bag strap, so the slight extra bulk may be irrelevant. Here are a couple of places that mention that one, for anyone interested: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97295 http://gonintendo.com/?p=3530 It seems that where before my problem was finding one worth buying, now I have the dilemma of picking one out of a pool of great options. Filed under "problems you want to have". Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!

I use a Lancome cosmetics case similar to http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P175123&categoryId=S5100&shouldPaginate=true, which I got as a freebie with purchase. I keep games in a soft leather coin purse inside the bag.

I made myself a zipper pouch http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8538597 and lined it with nice soft flannel. I have six games that I leave in with it. It's perfect for my needs (planes, bed, etc.).

I have the http://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-ds/nintendods.htm that zachlipton linked to above, and I love it. It's extremely well-made, holds the DS snugly but not too tightly, and has pouches for games, an extra stylus, and any other little bits you'd like to carry along. It's the best-designed "gadget carrier" I've gotten for any of my various doodads.

I have this http://video-games.pricegrabber.com/nintendo-ds-console-accessories/m/24362196/. It holds about 6 games in a zipper pouch in the back. You don't have to remove it to play with the DS. It's soft but sturdy and compact.
