11 cool Nintendo DS mods

Posted in Nintendo DS by Conner Flynn on August 30th, 2008

Obama DS Lite
While we’re waiting with bated breath for a possible new updated Nintendo DS model that has been rumored, we thought we would take a look at some of our favorite DS mods. Like the Wii, modders love to spice up Nintendo’s boring design and put their own personal touches on the device. Some are weird, some are awesome, some will make you wonder what’s in the modder’s local water supply, but all are creative.

The NES DS
The NES DS mod-This one is old school meets new. The modder used parts of the actual NES controller, giving it a more authentic look.

DS Super Famicom mod
DS Super Famicom mod-Isn’t that cute, it’s got a little face. This fully modded DS is made to resemble the Super Famicom and they did an awesome job. This one must have taken a ton of time.

Zelda Triforce Nintendo DS Mod
Zelda Triforce Nintendo DS Mod-There’s always the Zelda mod. And this one looks great! Though it’s gotta feel extra geeky actually playing zelda on this thing, as your brain would reach heights of sweet geek overload.

Zelda DS with shield
Zelda DS lite with shield-This one is a bit more upscale and classy. It’s for those who love Zelda while sipping wine in their castle. And it lights up!

Ugliest DS ever?
Ugliest DS ever?-It just might be. Completely hand painted, apparently by a kid. Not much info on this one. Someone sent me the pic awhile back and I still shudder when I see it.


Nintendo DS iPod Mod-This one’s pretty classy looking. This mod emulates the iPod in your DS.

Game and Watch DS mod
Game and Watch DS mod-Here’s a blast from the past. The Game and Watch Donkey Kong mod. It’s the creation of French modder Kotomi, who makes many of these amazing mods.

Obama DS Lite
The Obama DS Lite mod-How about a political DS mod? This DS bears the face of Obama, rendered by street artist Shepard Fairey.


DS voice mod-It’s not all about modding the DS case. Sometimes it’s cool to mod the DS to interface with your car. You know, when you want to play Dukes of Hazzard and have your car sound like Roscoe P. Coltrane.

DS LED Light Mod
DS LED Light Mod-This one’s a fairly simple mod, but it looks cool on the old DS.

Koopa Shell DS
Koopa Shell DS-Nothing says Nintendo like a Koopa shell. And it makes for a cool looking DS too.

  1. Wot Says:

    Obama DS is the most retarded thing ever. Where’s the George Bush ds mod because theyve got the exact same foreign policy.

  2. Charles Says:

    The ipod one and the ds voice mod aren’t even mods, it’s just highly available homebrew running on highly available slot 1 or slot 2 mod carts.

  3. Kevitivity Says:

    The Obama-mod sucks. You would have to be a serious moonbat to paint the face of a politician on your DS. No thank you - reject the nanny-state. McCain 08!

    You were saying?

  5. Wait -- what? Says:

    I agree that the Obama one is merely more evidence of his personality cult.

    Regardless, did you say McCain was anti-nanny State? He supports Social Security, and what is that but vestiges of FDR’s socialism? He supports State-run hospitals and schools. He supports rampant increases in domestic policing, all in an effort to “keep America safe.”

    For the record, I’d buy the second Zelda DS.

  6. GEE Funk Says:

    Zelda mods are cool. I wouldn’t wipe my arse with the Obama one.

  7. Adam_Y Says:

    Why has no one mentioned the rather special ‘Lost in Blue’ mod? It’s sooo sleek.

    Reminds me of the 40k paint jobs I used to see in the playground when I was a kid.

  8. Frightened Says:

    You people are foolish for making a tech site a political one. The painting of Obama looks great but the concept would be better suited if Bush was painted on the DS as that’s as far as his intellect would take him.

  9. Andrew Clarke Says:

    Some cool mods there, not sure about the hand painted one though, i guess the kid may have been proud of him/herself though lol

  10. Spiroflame@gmail.com Says:

    about the handpainted one did the speakers and everything still work? or did the whole thing just die? does anyone know? and also how do you mod your ds?
    mail me with answers please

  11. Gaming Addict Says:

    the koopa shell one is my favorite

  12. jal33l Says:

    The Obama one looks like a KFC bucket.

  13. Gerard Says:

    Yeah, koopa one is the only one I’d consider better than the original.

    I mean, the old systems are right out for me, and although the shield one is cool, that’d get annoying to carry around in your pocket.

  14. Zach Says:

    Lol. Obama on a ds.
    f*%k. hes a socialist…

  15. Юрок Says:

    Пока еще до конца непонятно, что там происходит, но точно могу сказать, что не в лучшую сторону!

  16. Gaara-Chan Says:

    how come no one mentioned the really sweet LED light one? it’s awesome. that one, the koopa one , and the zelda one would be the only ones i would even consider. even if the zelda one wouldn’t fit in my pocket perfectly. besides paying that much, approx. $3,000 according to my research, i wouldn’t carry it in my pocket anyway.

  17. piesly Says:

    lol stupid republicans

  18. Tiechiman Says:

    LOL the Obama one does look like a KFC bucket haha
