  Both fit in the toilet equally well.

  You think I enjoyed wasting my time attempting to fix that shit?

    The 2DS is incredibly easy to repair. Why you so mad?

    Hey, at least it wasn’t infested with roaches.

      You act like it wasn’t…

      Hey, at least I was paid by the hour to waste my time attempting to fix it. Company dime, company time, and customer paid for the replacement screen even.

      Sucks that I wasn’t successful, but damn, when the whole thing is literally rusted out, even the boss should have realized it was a hopeless cause. 🤷

  What matters is like literally I asked a question…

  HOW MANY VERSIONS OF THE DS DID THEY MAKE?

  And why so many versions?

    Are you asking the total number across all generations, revisions, colors, sizes, limited editions, variants, and regional models?

    The answer is somewhere around 202+ last I checked. Only Nintendo knows for sure.

    I found a couple sources attempting to catalog them all, but even they probably don’t have 100% coverage as I’ve found others pointing out a handful of specific versions that weren’t listed.

    Happy?

      I didn’t ask years, I didn’t ask generations.

      I simply asked for an overall count of how many versions, altogether. All years, all revisions, all models, simply count and give me a number, how many?

      You folks know way more about the things than I do, to me they might as well all be e-waste at this point. Are there really that many versions that nobody can give me a simple fucking number?

        I gave you that, cited my sources, explained why the number given wasn’t more accurate, and what you should do about it if it still isn’t up to your standards.

        What more do you want???

        And yes, there are that many versions. That’s why it’s so difficult to give you a simple number. The DS was in production for almost 20 years. A fuckton of versions were released. That’s why your best bet at a 100% correct number is probably Nintendo themselves, because when you consider it was also a global device with region-specific models the actual count gets even more difficult for any one person on the Internet to find.

        As evidenced by my many sources of people attempting to find this answer, it’s hard as hell to do. If you’re still unsatisfied, go to the people that made them and quit raging at anons who are just trying to help.
