Is the DS old enough to feel nostalgia over? I remember being 14 when I got the Mario 64 DS port and reading about Pokemon mystery Dungeon. IIRC I had gotten the golden Zelda DS light with Phantom hourglass bundled. I feel like utter shit I didn't properly take care of it...

Yes, I'd say that's plenty old.

The DS isn't 13 years old, fuck off.

I don't know what to tell you, anon.

You're right, it's only a few months away though.
people were feeling nostalgia for the ps1/n64 during the ps2/gc era, so it's not that far off

Don't forget, you're talking about console generations. However the DS was around the time of Wii, so it's actually been out for over 2 whole generations since then.
Remember?

The Wii is only two years older, can we get nostalgic for it?I am. I'll never forget how grand this game felt when I first played it. I only hope Odyssey can give me that same feeling.

I busted out my old DS Lite and played a couple of games on it for old times sake. Mario 64 DS hurt my fingers after a few minutes of play because of how awful the controls were. Mario Kart DS was still a lot of fun. Also, you forget how small the DS screens were when compared to the 3DS XL. It's crazy what we used to put up with.

since I homebrewed m Wii and I play almost everything Gamecube and older (plus actual Wii games) it's my #1 used system.
for me i feel less of nostalgia and more missing it. fucking hate how the 3ds feels. had to get a 2ds just for the slightly better dpad placement. i really hate the 3ds joystick.i think from that era the psp is more nosalgic for me. playing a ds though gives me hard core nostalgia for gameboy color and gba.

Chinese equivalent of the DS. They're branded differently due to strict laws on vidya there.

TAKE ME BACK
NO IT'S NOT FAIR BROS
There's no cutoff on nostalgia. People on here get nostalgic all the time for when /v/ was good (i .e when they started browsing) but if you say you have nostalgia for early early 360/ps3 they get mad because they think you can only be nostalgic about your childhood. My first gaming memories were on a fucking master system, doesn't mean I don't get nostalgic thinking about playing halo with my bros.
