Quiz: How Well Do You Know The Nintendo DS?

Woah, 2nd place?! And I beat 3 writers?! And I never even owned a DS?! And I am younger than it?!

1 is incorrect. The answer to "How many versions of Nintendogs launched on the DS?" is 5: 3 at launch, and 2 later on, as noted in the the quiz. 3 would be the answer if the question was "How many versions of Nintendogs were there at the game's launch?"

Got 16/19 myself, which is much better than I tend to do on these quizzes!

Completely guessed the Mario titles number and got it right

Second place for now, I loved loved loved the DS! And I stuck it out with the OG DS Phat until the 3DS launched.

@Buizel Yeah that caught me out…I put 4 thinking of Dalmatian so I still would have gotten it wrong (forgot Best Friends was a thing) but awkwardly worded either way

18/19, babyyyyyyy

@CaleBoi25 test scores from when we didn't have all the questions, they've been removed now!

10/19
Not bad.
Well, that because I don't play certain popular NDS games like Layton or Zelda so I have no idea.

Love these. Was a fun quiz. (11/19)

This is cool, I hope there are more quizzes in the future. I got 10/19 on my first try. Missed opportunity to have 20 questions for 20 years lol

14/19 not bad.

About the commercial question, I'm pretty sure Robin Williams was in a commercial for Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition with his daughter.
Even if it was probably played on the 3DS, RW should also be a correct answer by virtue of it being a DS game (even if DSiWare, it counts).

Got lucky with the Mario titles one. But yay 19/19!

Edit: huh I refreshed the page my score was gone 🙃 ah it’s back there again, justice at last!

Great leader board! More more more please

13/19
Only really missed the silly trivia, a fact I will use to bolster my ego.

16/19 I still know the ds like the back of my hand. Though I didn't think to count every mario game on the ds

@JimNorman no problem! Great quiz otherwise.

@larryisaman haha yeah I would've lost the point regardless for the same reason.

i just never quite got into DS for whatever reason. partly because I was ~18y.o. when it came out and I dont often find myself wanting to "game on the go" as a grown person compared to when i was a kid with a gameboy. 👍

TLDR i did bad.

I literally just guessed almost every single one, did terrible, got 8/19 (the DS is older than me!)

"Wrong! The answer is This one?."

But that's what I said!😤😆

10/19 overall, which mostly betrays me never using Pictochat and focusing on third party stuff even back then. Although the latter is less of an excuse with MKDS, the first Mario Kart I ever beat - and have still failed to remember all the cups from.😓😏

I got 18/19, just forgot the Mario & Sonics for the Mario games question. Pretty happy with that, especially as it puts me 3rd on the leaderboard! (Although I can't see myself on there any more after refreshing the page... does it take a while to verify the score or something?)

I got 12, not too bad. Got the Mario question wrong cause I totally forgot about Mario and Sonic and Mario vs dk.

12/19 for someone who never had a DS. I don't mind.

didn't know how many people were allowed in pictochat, and i didn't remember how many ds games had mario in the title. the others i remembered or was just lucky.

I guess not enough people remember the Beyoncee Rhythm Heaven commercial. "Tap, tap, tap!" "Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!"

I just gave up counting how many Mario games I could remember, and figured there'd be a couple I'd forgotten.

16/19 is good.
I never used Pictochat, and I forgot the Reggie quote.

I do remember the Reggie kicking *** quote, which obviously someone on the Treehouse team decided to reference in Final Fantasy III DS.

I got 12. My older bro got the DS at launch. I joined the party with the lite. Good times.

@HammerGalladeBro the Robin and Zelda Williams commercial was for Ocarina of Time 3D

18/19, only messing up the celebrity one. Got lucky on a couple of them. 4th place for now!

15/19

Whatever.

Getting my DS was the best Christmas I had. Good times.

Yeahhhhh I didn't exactly have a robust library as a broke teenager. Mario, Kirby, and Pokémon and that was about it.

15/19 and have never owned a DS model!
...I'm just a massive nerd lol

This should easy.
sees the first question involving Nintendogs
...Never mind.

Did pretty poorly (11). Great quiz.

11 out of 19, some questions I got wrong I just did random guesses because I didn't know. lol

fixes glasses
16/19

The DS.. I liked my GBA (first model) better

İ got 7 from 19 right. İ had not a DS. İ had DS Lite Black version and it was beautiful.
İ had few games that are A Link to the past with Four Swords version. İ had two Dr Kawashima's Brain Training games one was blue colour the cover and the other one was orange colour cover and one Pokemon game that was Pokemon Pearl.
The reason that İ got the DS Lite Black was the game A Link to the past. İ had never played that game before on the Super Nintendo. İ had heard it is a very good game.
İ have played on the DS Lite and it was incredible good game.

I queued up at midnight for the launch of the PSP, it seemed so cool, literally like a PS2 in the palm of your hands.

I didn't end up playing it that much, there weren't many games that interested me. I ended up selling it and getting a white DS Lite when they were released, best decision ever. The games seemed much more suited to mobile play, and I found series like Layton and Ace Attorney which I'm a huge fan of to this day.

Anyway, I only got 11/19 - could have been worse I guess?!

Got 16 right, but had to take a break, so I scored pretty low.

10/19. In my defence, I was a DS Lite guy (still got the DS Lite release year wrong), and was actually not alive yet when the DS first came out. And I'm not really into a lot of Nintendo's first party output.

I thought that would be relatively easy since I own 4 DSsses, but I think the problem is that they're all DSis. DSies? DSiusses? I bet the REAL reason I didn't do all that well in the quiz is because I don't know how to pluralize "DS".

@kurtasbestos sounds like you had DSissues with the quiz.

Cool little quiz. Very well put together and one of the reasons I love this site!

14/19, felt like I missed some points due to not being from the US. Miss my pink phat model which I sold long ago to replace with a DSi. Also Pictochat was nice.
