Official Nintendo DS Owners Club and Discussion

Alright, the previous thread was mainly us talking about info about the release etc.

This thread, instead, is aimed at keeping track of owners of DS units and places you can regularly find those people so you can have some fun with the wireless gaming.

By keeping track of owners and where we regularly travel we may be able to sort out regular groups to meet on trains etc for a bit of multiplay on the way to work/uni etc.

Also, please add a link to this thread with the title 'Nintendo DS Owners Club #X' to your signature.

IF YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE CLUB PEASE MAKE THAT CLEAR IN ONE OF YOUR POSTS OR PM ME.

Also, if you don't post locations people can find you then I won't add you to the club as the point of the club is helping people be able to play wirelessly against each other.

sweet. i'm in.

get mine this afternoon. my location is Hurstville, Sydney & Marrickville during the day.

 

me number 3

 

Picked mine up first thing this morning at EB Chermside and I must say it was a piss weak turn out with 5 people lining up to get in. Got home and turned the DS on to set all the settings, now all I have to do is wait for 4 hours till the thing charges up

 

Got mine this morning.

 

been reading reports that some come fully charged. hope mine is one of them

 

Got mine from myers this morning, $238 all up with Mario and a case
I'm in Toowoomba/Harlaxton in QLD

 

may as well join the "club" whatever number i am just add it to the first post

umm im on the gold coast and you will find me and other ppl with DSes @ Gameserve this saturday. cant wait to play some multiplayer now that ppl around here finally own one!

 

Mine had zero charge, so I had to wait till I got home, drat! Sadly it also has a stuck pixel oh well, least its not that noticeable when playing. Doubt I should even bother saying where I'll have mine turned on, because I have no idea

I can also see the next disease affecting people... DS'ers Thumb *rubs feeling back into thumb*

 

Ive got one

Now to find some software to hax0r it

 

Mine took around 2 hours to fully charge so there must have been some residual charge on there
Played a bit of metroid prime hunters demo, super mario 64 ds and tried advance wars from my gba collection to see how it looked. So far, so good and I don't have any dead pixels that I've heard a few people finding.

 

I've got mine now, chuck me on that list. I'm in clarendon, south australia.

 

Yay free stored electricity! I'm tempted to jump on the bandwagon like you crazed fanatics... Any DS owners in Perth?

 

Can you all please post some general locations of where you can be found with your DS so I can add you to the list in the first post.

 

i know this is for owners and everything, but im picking one up today after work, one question though how are the batteries recharged is it just aa's i can put in my battery charger or is it some weird one and if so does the ds come with a charger or do i have to buy one
cheers

 

Home is Ferny Hills QLD and work is at Herston.

 

my bad it does have the charger adaptor i should have looked around
AHHHH 5 hours and im off work HURRY HURRY

 

I live in Epping and take the 7:40 Epping train to Flinders, where I change lines and ride the Upfield train to Brunswick RMIT (Jewell). I have no problem whipping out the DS at school if anyone else goes there. There's fuck all to do on breaks.

 

It uses the same (well slightely different but moddable to be the same) internal battery as the SP, so as such needs the Nintendo charger. A charger is included with the DS package.

Edit: and i should have read the whole thread, coz it was answered

 

woo im in! got mine this morning and played warioware until my hand hurt
suprisingly mine came fully charged. went on for hours, and still going.

can be found around burwood vic, around deakin u most days
