This week was very special for me: I had a whole week’s holiday. Now getting any holiday is just as rare as rocking horse poo, so I decided to make the most of it. Unfortunately the weather was not aware of my holiday plans, but that didn’t stop me from going out and about. With me not being glued to my room and my consoles, I did wonder how I would get my five a day fix of gaming goodness and still remain a social butterfly. Then the answer was staring at me from its red Hello Kitty case. I should play my lovely DS Lite.

I thought I would take the opportunity to get back in touch with my DS and play some games on the go. This week I got back onto games like Zoo Keeper, Bust-a-Move, Rhythm Paradise and my much loved yet much neglected Animal Crossing. It has been a while since I really played my DS after my 30 day spell of More Brain Training I did a while back, so it was a welcome change from my normal console gaming regime.
One night while I was button bashing my way to victory, I started having flashbacks of all the wonderful time me and the ever changing face of my DS has had. From getting my first pink DS and then upgrading to my shiny DS Lite to trading in my DS to buying it back just to play Sim City Creator and my fave GBA version of Harvest Moon (thank goodness for backwards compatibility!).

Then I started to think about the future of the DS. With Nintendo confirming that they are going to release a 3D version of the DS, it looks as though my DS is going to get itself a handheld friend. So although at times I can neglect my dear DS while I dilly dally with my other games, it knows that I will always come running back when I need a handheld fix. I always have nothing but love for DS!
