As the Nintendo DS is coming up to its 20th birthday, it's been on my mind as ion late.
So don't be surprised if you see quite a few DS articles pop up in the coming weeks. 😊
First up, the review for Age of Empires Mythologies on Nintendo DS from NGamer 33 - March 2009 (UK)

WOT. I got the DS 20 YEARS AGO!?
I was only 19. God, I was just a kid, lol.
I remember it was back before things got popular.
Why do I say that? Because I walked into a mall on black friday and got one on sale at Gamestop (Funcoland?).
And my first game was Meteos.
It was FUN. I think you mentioned it to me before as one you liked too?

I actually imported mine from Japan as it didn’t have a release date in Europe at the time it released in the US and Japan.
Got Mario 64 and a Go game.
Loved it from day one despite the limited games at launch.
But yeah, once I got Meteos, also imported from Japan just a couple months later, I was completely smitten with the system.
One of the greatest of all time without question.

I got it out to play some Meteos today.
It was just as beautiful as the day I got it.

I have the early shift again so I can’t play anything this week as I’m a complete zombie by the time I get home, shower and have dinner.
But I’m going to to the same the coming weekend.
