Don’t worry, your DS is still alive

Published by matthew at 2:20 pm under Culture, Nintendo DS

What happens when you combine my favorite handheld, my runner-up for last year’s game of the year, and some exceptional fan art for that particular game?

Well, I guess you get this DS! The best part is that you can easily make one of these yourself. Just jump over to deviantART user McGibs’ page, print out the art, work some magic with your scissors to make the art conform to your DS, and then slide the print under a clear DS case.

And that concludes today’s DIY challenge. Join us next week as we learn how to turn a spare SNES into a jet pack.

    The clear plastic case SUCKS. I bought one with about 15 paper skins for 15$, and it totally screws up the DS. It covers half the R/L buttons, and makes them all squishy! Not worth the money.

    @helper187:

    The girls’ name is Chell, I believe. She’s from Portal. She’s the character you control, but rarely see her due to it being in First Person.

    This is actually a great idea! If the plastic case wasn’t clunky looking, I would definitely go for it. There’s a ton of art out there that you can grab and cut it out for yourself. It would be like having an endless supply of new skins for your DS.

    Huh. That makes sense. Thanks, RF Larke!
