Nintendo DS

[Hobbes]

Does anyone know if the Nintendo DS uses the same electrical leads as a Game Boy? A couple of years ago I bought my DNephs Game Boys from the US-ha ha, thought I, saved a fortune NOT SO! Darn things electric cables were, of course, no good for here. Had to buy them here, ended up costing nearly as much as buying them here in the first place would.
Now fast forward on several years-Nintendo DS is the way to go now. So, if I buy those in US when I go, will I have same problem again or can they use the leads they already have?

We didn't buy our Game Boys from the USA but the charging lead for the Game Boy Advance SP is the same as that for the ( UK purchased) Nintendo DS.
It states AGS-002(UKV) on both of them. The only difference is that the GBA says GBASP on it.

Hope this helps.

And don't forget to pick up some DS games whilst you're there - they're a fraction of the UK price
