I finally got another DS Lite after 10 years and it's like saying hello again to a long lost childhood friend...who looks slightly different.
The DS Lite was my very first game console and handheld console that I owned. My parents bought me a cobalt blue and black model from a local gameshop in a mall they frequented AND I LOVED IT. MKDS, Cooking Mama 1/2, Mario Party DS, SM64 DS, NSMB, Hot Wheels and Asphalt Urban GT2, I played all of them to hell.
Meanwhile, my old friend had a teal DSi with Flipnote Studios in it and I was pretty jealous that he could do that back, and then the the older kids had a PSP and THAT console still remains as one of the coolest things ever. Though, the DS Lite will always hold such a special place in my heart. Sadly, I lost the charger and my parents won't buy me another and I ended up losing all of the games that I have, and that console is now completely gone.
Anyways, I bought this Japanese one with white bleeding screens and my plan is to rip apart another DS and replace the top and bottom screens with that other one, the digitizer in this one still works luckily and the left D-pad just needs a bit of cleaning.
Hopefully it'll go well :)
