A player lost his Nintendo DS many years ago. During construction work at his parents’ house, the device reappeared. This awakens memories for the owner, who wonders how the device ended up there.
The Nintendo DS is probably one of the most popular handhelds of recent years. The DS was released in 2004 and replaced the Game Boy Advance.
A player now recounts how he lost his DS 16 years ago and assumed it had been stolen. But now the device has reappeared during construction work.

Where did he find the device again? The owner explains that he found his Nintendo DS at the bottom of his sandbox. He does not reveal why he hadn’t looked there earlier, neither in his post nor in a reply.
A few months ago, he returned to his parents’ house to help with construction work. In this context, he had to empty the sandbox in front of the house and was surprised to find the Nintendo DS at the bottom. He said he had no idea how it got there.
How did the device end up there? He suspects that either his younger brother was responsible for the “disappearance” or that the DS had vanished after falling from the swing.
Does the DS still work? No, the Nintendo DS no longer functions. And there are several reasons for that:
- The owner explains that the device is completely rusted.
- Moreover, half of the circuit board inside the console is missing.
- The battery inside is swollen and the shell of the DS is cracked.
The device can no longer be played with. However, he admits he would do a lot to get his old toy running again.
By the way, Nintendo has now shut down the digital shop for the Nintendo DS. But before that, a YouTuber sat down and saved thousands of old games with considerable effort. You can read about how he did this and why Nintendo itself was a problem directly on MeinMMO:
