The Good - An Unexpected Gift
I was skeptical of the DS when I first heard about it. Hell, I guess you can say that I had very little interest in it, even after it was released. I didn’t even tell my parents about it or anything. That’s why it came as such a surprise that I received it for my 15th birthday, just a few months after it was released.
I didn’t really learn from my mistakes with bringing my Game Boys in elementary school as I brought my DS to high school that following Monday. Nobody else had one, so people would always want to try their hand at the mini-games in Super Mario 64 DS during lunch or a class where the teacher would allow us to use banned devices in class when it wasn’t lecture time.
My most vivid memory of that was when I had to do voice-activated mini-games for WarioWare Touched. I didn’t know how to properly get the system to register the mic function, so I tried a myriad of ways to get it to work. I eventually settled on a bizarre noise that involved me making a high-pitched noise while flapping my tongue up and down. Most people thought it was hilarious, though that wasn’t my intention, but a substitute teacher, not knowing where the source was coming from, yelled during a class, “Quit making those turkey noises!”
A few people started getting DSes and we had a little thing going with the multiplayer function of Super Mario 64 DS. Unfortunately, that began a little late, so we only did that for no more than a month because school was out for summer by then.
It didn’t carry over to sophomore year, but I had a lot of fun playing with others and letting others play my DS for the few months that it lasted.
