So, let's talk #NintendoDS to celebrate the anniversary. Don't worry, this isn't about Fire Emblem
I got my DS not long after launch, I had saved up money from a paper round and had enough money to buy it.
I went into a nearby larger town with multiple electronic and game stores to get one.
It was sold out EVERYWHERE.
I find one in an old Dixons. But I learned when I took it to the counter, i apparently had to buy it as a bundle, with an extra game, £10 more than I had.
As I am debating my future. A guy stumbles into the store it a bag of £ coins. Slams them down on the table, saying he had won big at the slot machines.
He sees my distress and asks what's wrong, and I mention I am about £10 short for the DS. He tells the ship assistant he will cover the missing money, and I leave beaming from the power of generosity. I got the last DS in town.
As I leave, the guy asks the shop assistant if they had any of those new Nintendo consoles in stock 😅
I will never forget his sacrifice.
