I know I've spammed a lot of Switch 2 stuff, today, but gotta yap one more thing:

To me personally, Nintendo bringing back the DS download game in the form of GameShare is a huge W

It was such a family friendly feature, back in the day and I was sad when it was not available on the Switch :'D

So now it looks like my hobby is fixing my Nintendo DS instead of playing with it.

Yesterday I couldn't quite get the potentiometer for the bottom screen to work quite right.

Oops, in my fiddling, I broke it off.

Well, now I have a replacement, but I'm going to need help soldering this tiny thing on. I found someone local who can help me! I'll take the thing over tomorrow for the soldering job.

"Graphics 68%"
"Graphics from '95. 1895 that is.
We're not impressed."

Well, neither am I, buddy. But for a different reason...

Guess who has working DS Lite shoulder buttons again.

Big shoutout to https://www.retrorehab.ca/ for a speedy and affordable micro-soldering job for the replacement shoulder buttons.

Comfort gaming…

The last DS I owned was the lite back in like 2007. Felt nostalgic but wanted a little bit more oomph!

Here is today's post, my review of Super Mario 64 DS, the remake of the legendary Super Mario 64! I will post my review of Super Mario 64 below.

Mario Kart DS is an odd game, especially when you eventually grind your way to Mirror Mode.

Unlike other #MarioKart games, the character doesn't seem to make any difference to gameplay. It is all down to the kart unless each character has hidden parameters that influence the karts stats that I am unaware of.
I know Mario Kart Wii does that.
But Bowser in the Egg 1, as hilarious as it looks, seemingly plays the same as if Toad was in there.

Another oddity that frustrates me is the rubber banding, nothing new. Mario Kart rubber banding is notorious.
But it feels like if you are able to eek out a sizeable lead, the AI gives up. But if they are visible on your bottom screen mini-map, you they will very quickly be trying to force themselves down your tail pipe.
You can be one of the faster karts, and the AI will outpace you in slower karts. Well, until they get a certain distance ahead of you, and they seem to also just... Quit. It's all very strange.
