It is impossible to doubt the success of the Nintendo DS. It is, by a wide margin, the second best-selling video game console in history. It is only surpassed by the Sony PlayStation 2 and is below (32 million copies away) the nintendoswitch.
But today we are not here to talk about its undoubted quality and the incredible hours of gameplay it gave us. For this review we are summoned by a story that can be as sad as it is unusual. The story has drama, nostalgia, suspense and an unexpected twist.
A little boy lost his almost newly bought Nintendo DS in 2007. The console, as strange as it sounds, appeared 16 years later: it was only meters away.
the website of level-up echoes this story made by the user Ryebredrox. This person says that he lost the portable console in 2007 and from this event he wondered how many theories (him and his family) went through his head.
The first thing they thought was that it was stolen. The user was a child and in an oversight the friends of others could have taken it without permission. Another of the theories about her strange disappearance was that her little one had forgotten her on one of her family outings.
Specifically, there was a fact that they could not escape: that Nintendo DS was lost. Now, 16 years later, in the middle of 2023, some modifications in the house of the parents of the then child caused a console to appear from the depths.
In the yard of this house there was a sandbox for the children to play in. That Nintendo DS was buried under the Earth and it was in the remodeling of the house that the console appeared.
Obviously it was completely useless. Ryebredrox himself posted photos of how the Nintendo device was found.
