Forums - Nintendo - Question about Nintendo DS

Hello guys !

I am European and I would like to buy the American Nintendo DS Lite "Zelda edition" because it is not possible to find it here in Europe ...

I would like to know if it is possible to play PAL games with an American version of the Nintendo DS because I know it is not possible with the Wii. 

 Thanks in advance for your answers !

i think i read that the ds is region free,but im not so sure

Ya, its region free.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)
Nintendo ID: Mako91                  3DS code: 4167-4543-6089

Ok. Thank you for the confirmation.
BTW, do you know where I can order the Nintendo DS/Zelda bundle at the best price ? I mean what are the most recommended websites ?

The DS is region free, no worries...They have alot of offers here in America, you should grab one real quick!



Seems like I can't order it from Amazon because they don't ship to France. Do you know which Americanonline stores can ship their products to Europe because I really don't see how I could get one otherwise ?



Wow, I just realized how nice it is to be living in the U.S.
Don't get me wrong we have our problems, but the fact that I just checked about a dozen internet stores and all of them only ship to the U.S. :(

How much does a DS cost in Europe? A UK eBay seller has the Zelda bundle £109.99 plus £29 shipping that would ship to France:

Is that a price you were expecting?



I generally use this site.

www.cduniverse.com

To import my games. They have the Zelda DS listed but not priced.



Yes the DS is region free. I bought one whilst in America and use it to play my American and European releases no problem. You may need to buy a European power adapter for it. I picked up a UK adapter for only a few £ from Game.
