Forums - Nintendo - Oh no... I think I ruined four of my DS games =(

I have two DS Lites carrying bags and I wanted to wash the bags because they were very dirty now. So I put the bag ins the washing machine, delicated cycle. The problem is, I left four of my DS games in the carrying bags.

The cartridges are all wet now, but they didn't break or anything. I will leave the games and wait until they dry, like a week or something.

Will they still work? =(

I doubt they're ruined. Just make sure they're all fully dry before using them and you should be fine.

Well, it's worth a shot, Nintendo stuff is usually made out of indestructible components that can survive bombs.



I've washed a game on accident before and it still worked for me. I don't want to say that it will work.. but it might!



try it out.. let it dry and test it out later when it's dry enough to insert into the Ds slot.

Advance Wars Dual Strike went through the wash and lived to fight another day.

Give it a day or two to dry and you'll be fine.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Thats a really funny story because that happend to me too i left my Super Mario 64 DS game in my pants pockets and the endned up in the washer and as soon i got my game out of the wet clothes left it to dry and it still worked. Im pretty sure your games will still work also.



They should be fine, I've put Mario Kart DS through the washer twice and Sonic Rush once. There wasn't any damage (not even to the sticker on the front).



Oh, thanks for your words guys...

Sorry, I was Internet-less all day. I just posted this thread and my ISP was having troubles.

Well... I will test the games tomorrow... I just want to be sure that they are all dry.

=p



i had games i put through the wash many times and they work just fine, the only thing is the color faded a little bit. so nothing to worry about.
