I've been back in to DS for the first time in years in 2019. Played and finished Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Dragon Quest IX. Working my way through Dragon Quest VIII right now. Great little system, love playing it on breaks at work.

Nintendo DS/3DS |OT| collecting and more
- Thread starter Sagadego17

anyone know if there's a list of EU games that have releases with the thinner black cases? i figured with nintendo collectors being pretty obsessive about collecting that there might be a list of this stuff but i can't really seem to find anything on google other than people generally asking why cases are different or stores selling empty cases
Are there? I mean I don't know which cases were used in Australia, but other than that are there any other slim PAL games?
it's funny that australia comes up because someone was saying that nintendo published their games in the black cases there but third party generally reused their EU sized cases, in the uk i think some later reprints use the black cases because my copies of 42 All Time Classics, Tetris DS, and New Super Mario Bros all have the black cases which when i originally bought them 12-13 years ago all had the thicker clear cases
I had no idea that the slimmer black cases saw release in Europe. I hated the fat EU cases so I'd always import from the US.
Hey (3)DS fanatics! I have a pretty substantial collection too, and I've started looking more into imports now that my 3DS is region-free.
I'm looking for games I can play with no Japanese knowledge, so music games are a pretty good bet. I already have Dragon Quest Theathrythm, and I was now looking into Daigasso! Band Brothers P. Would it be okay with zero japanese knowledge, or should I opt for its predecessor that was localized in Europe as Jam with the Band?
Thanks!

Band Brothers menu can be confusing but it's playable without any Japanese knowledge. Out of my Japanese games I'd recommend rythm heaven (physical copy), the sega classic collection (the 3 games box set) and the taiko games
Personally I'd skip Daigasso but that's just my opinion.
I'd eco grabbing any of the taiko drum master games and the 3 Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives collections (the one the USA got was Vol 2). I'd also add getting Ex Troopers as another locked in japan game worth giving a shot.
I've never met the Sega Development Team in my life, but to me they look like a bunch of slackers!!
:-D
I mean, the menu, HUD etc are all in English. Just get their Administrative Teams [or get Nintendo's Administrative team] to get certification, press releases and get it out there for Western markets.

While they're at it localize and/or it re-localize the Shining Force series for the west.
If the buyer has no 3DS, yes. If they do, the transfer count limit could get in the way, so check that.
It's limited by frequency, not some arbitrary count. You can transfer once every 7 days.
Also you can't transfer back to old models once you transfer to New ones
Transfer limit of five was removed in one of the updates, I think around the time New 3DS was released

Ah, music to my ears. Bit strange that the official Ninty site says nothing about it considering it's a 2013 update.
Just bought a 3ds XL and Super Mario Land. It's great! Any other recommendations for the system?
Will do. It's 2019 and I've just been for a walk to Norwich (in the UK) and somehow I managed to make a streetpass buddy!
I'm planning to replace my PAL DS games with NTSC ones. I'd like to just do the boxes but they don't seem to be easy to buy.
I think NoA used to sell the boxes on their online store, but you'd need to find someone in the US to buy them. Or you might find some on eBay.
i tried looking on a website i used to use last night because i remembered those guys used to buy these things in the 100's for custom gba,gbc,gb cases but it seems like any links for those cases are long dead
i think there's a EU based seller in germany that has them but i'm trying to find what they were called because i haven't got the website bookmarked anymore or atleast i can't find it
edit: closest i could find were these NDS cases but they're £17 for 5 cases https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0039ZY4NM

Picked this up on 3DS eShop, I've just played Parachute and cannot put this game down [seriously, the modern iteration of these games put many NES and Yoshi and DK Country games to shame].
No hand-holding and wonderful, no fuss presentation. You just select from a list and game starts instantly.
Why did no one tell me about this game before?
It's most likely an old article that is still on the site and what someone pulled from a google search. Here is the info on the Nintendo US site.

But there are four of them:

If you like Advance Wars you may as well pick up Days of Ruin. Different style and tone then the previous games but still the same great gameplay.
Thank you both for the responses!
Trueee. Does Mass Attack get... better? lol I was hyped for it because Pikmin is probably my favorite Nintendo series, but I didn't like how slow it was at the start and got rid of it.
Hmmm I remember liking it less back in the day but I think it is worth a revisit
I've never played any but from what I hear in the Smash threads it's generally considered a disappointment.
Hotel Dusk ? If so, get the sequel as well (Last Window) if you don't already own it !
I enjoyed it but it's not as good as the first two. It also ends on a cliffhanger :P
Try to clean the sensor in front, it's the small circle near the camera
Yeah I tried, with and without glasses too. I'm surprised it's busted by not touching it for months haha
Hello, I am not sure this is an exhaustive list and its mostly refers to the French game with black boxes but here is something :
- 42 jeux Indémodables (FRA)
- Apprends avec Pokémon à la conquête du clavier (FRA)
- English Training : Progressez en Anglais sans stresser (FRA)
- Geometry Wars : Galaxy (EUR)
- Pokémon Mundo Misterioso Equipe de rescate Azul (ESP) 5 Langues
- Programme d'entrainement cérébral du Dr Kawashima: Quel âge a votre cerveau ? (FRA)

(Extensive analysis of DS games in french)
I haven't got it with my right now, so I can't check. However, I'm pretty sure Pokemon Typing Adventure has a thin black case, as I remember being surprised when I opened it.
Does anyone have a list of games that got a different name when they released in the EU as compared to the US, and vice versa? The only thing that comes to mind is how feel the magic is project rub over here.
A few spring to my mind:
Advance wars days of Ruin / dark conflict.
Club house games/ 42 all time classics.
Kirby canvas curse/power paintbrush
All Brain training games
Rhythm heaven/rhythm paradise
