Nintendo DS Lite and Brain Trainer Game

Does anyone know where the best place to buy a nintendo DS Lite hand held Console in Hong Kong. I would like to know that I am going to a reliable shop and dealer. Are these consoles and games compatible with the UK market. If we bought games in the UK would they be able to be used on the machine. I am going to Hong Kong next week for a week. Is it possible to buy these machines in Szuchan? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

hi. i saw your post a little late. were you able to find the type of electronic shop you were looking for? i have the game and brain aware and love it, wondering your thoughts and experience? also, how was hong kong. going in two weeks.

Nintendo DS Lite and Brain Trainer Game

are the games for the nintendo DS in Hongkong compatable with a us bought handheld unit?


Hi Guys, Nintendo DS Lite games are universal. They are not region coded so you can buy a game anywhere and it will work. Some games will be for the japanese market though as a lot of people from Japan go to HK for holidays so if you are looking at a game that you hadnt heard of before, it might be in japanese (a new or different pokemon or final fantasy game for example...).

I found that the games and consoles were not much cheaper than at home as most of the big chains here discount the older titles. As I was going to be buying the games as a gift I ended up buying from a dealer in HK a thing called a supercard. It works really well. You should look it up on wikipedia or google it if you want to know more about it.


Hello all. Thank you for your replies. I got back yesterday from HK. It was coolish but dry for our week. I thought it would be warmer, and definitely needed a light jacket during the day.

Yes, I bought 2 nintendos for people at home. We went to a shop near the top of Nathan Road which advertised that it had all the big names for cameras and electronics. If you want to know the name I can advise.

We queried that the guarantee should cover the world and not just HK and area surrounding. We were quoted different prices for both these guarantees, and found that for a worldwide cover, that most reputable dealers quoted HK dollars of 1200 to 1400.You do not want to buy the %26#39;local%26#39; machine because it is in chinese apparently.

The shop where we bought our ds lites, also persuaded us to purchase a %26#39;chip%26#39; and %26#39;stick%26#39; thing (sorry but I am not the computer buff, my husband is!), which allows us to download games for free off the internet. The games you buy cost about UK拢30 and although this piece of kit was in the regions of UK拢80, this equates to 3 games. And if you can do this with lots of games, it pays for itself after 3 downloads. One of the purchasers has registered his machine. And tonight will do the downloading part, and the playing of the games! I trust this will go OK, and will let you know.

The shop in question, was very helpful, and put the anti scratch screens on to the Nintendo, and put in the names and birthdays too.

If you wish to know anymore, I shall let you know.


Please do your homework before shopping for electronics.

Language on NDS depends on the game cartridge, not the machine.


Hie...how much do u pay for the console (DS Lite) itself in HKD?


Hi! I think I paid HKD 1200 for the universal ds lite. Hope that helps you.

Also, a Brain Trainer game was bought in UK and works absolutely fine on the Nintendo we bought.


Does the price HKD 1200 include in your ';chip'; %26amp; ';stick'; thing for the free internet download?


Hi! I just want to know the name of the shop from where you bought the DS Lite? and where it is located exactly?


Hi! No, the 1200 HKD does not include the extras. In total we paid about 2500 HKD for each nintendo and its extras.

We bought them from Jordan Digital World. 318 Nathan Road, inbetween Ning Po St, and Nanking St, in the area of Temple Street market.

Hope this helps you.
