Nintendo is ending DS cartridge production

[BurningDesire]

in a post that has since been removed, the retailer revealed the news saying that Nintendo is stopping the production of DS cartridges worldwide. It did try to remedy the sting of the announcement, however, revealing that it has a bunch of exclusive DS game restocks coming soon. If true, the latter part of the announcement means little for those who don't use VGP's services, though it does mean other retailers in different regions may start to restock their own DS game stocks to preempt Nintendo's rumored move.

Well I'd say it's about time since the last DS game was released over a year ago (Big Hero 6 if I remember correctly)

But it means games are going to cost SO MUCH MORE. I wanted to get some games but MONEY.

Well... Crap... Oh well. I have a Gateway blue card for a reason, ya know.

Guess I'll have to snap up a copy of Diamond, and the other 5th Gen games I haven't gotten yet before they become expensive.

I have a large number of the DS Pokemon games, including an import copy of Heart Gold from Japan. That'll probably fetch a fair dollar once they're no longer produced. Heck, it might force Game Freak to publish Pokemon games on the Wii U VC, or even better, re-release them on the 3DS.

The only thing that got me down in Darkness was that after finishing the game, the only Pokemon I wanted to recruit was exclusive to Time.

I WANTED A CELEBI :C

No surprise when you can buy a cart for less than what people charge for actual ds games.
