Ds Cards ups and down
These days, there are plenty of game consoles in the market and each of them offers a new experience. Ranging from the Xbox 360 to the Nintendo Wii, console makers are trying to outdo each other and provide the ultimate gaming experience. Moreover, games have gotten much more sophisticated and lifelike images are the norm these days.
Gamers tend to lose themselves in these ultimate reality games and some of them such as Call of Duty and Need For Speed, provide an experience unlike anything before. However, there are a small set of people who still enjoy games from the past and are willing to pay to get their old experiences back.
Older Nintendo games do not work on the current consoles and it might be difficult to play them. This is where the ds cards come into the picture and they provide gamers with the option of playing these older games from saved files and backups.
Quite a few ds cards options are available these days and each of them has their own pros and cons. Some of the best ds card brands in the industry are Acekard, R4, SuperCard, Cyclo, EZ Flash, and DSTT.
Out of these, the SUpercard and the EZ Flash have been designed for higher levels and they provide a realistic gaming experience. However, these features come at a high cost and they are exceedingly priced in comparison with the counterparts.
The Acekard brand has always been reliable and they have been producing good quality ds cards for a long time. In fact, the Acekard 2i was the first card to be mass produced and is still considered to be one of the better options in the market.
These days, the Acekard is available with several upgrades and additional features and this makes it even better. This provides good value for money and is compatible with formats such as DSi, DS lite, and 3DS. Moreover, this is one of the few cards which have extensive memory, which is useful for storing older Nintendo backups.
The card comes with a dual memory and includes an extensive internal NAND memory. You can also use a micro SD card and increase the memory size as per requirements. The card is said to have one of the quickest and most efficient loading times as well. This is also one of the most cost effective options which are available.
The R4 brand is also a reliable producer of ds cards and is the manufacturer of the R4i, R4 3DS, R4 SDHC and some other options. The brand is known for its durability and inexpensiveness.
It is an ideal option for entry level gamers who are looking to gain some insight into the Nintendo experience. Since it is a cheaper option, it is suitable for experimentation. The card requires an external micro SD chip and this can be purchased along with it.
Irrespective of whether you are an amateur or professional gamer, you will be able to find something is ideally suited to your requirements. The Acekard and R4 brands are reliable and provide solid performance, while the Supercard and EZ Flash brands are designed for high speed usage and high end users.

Hmmm. I don’t even know DS Cards are being sold still these days. But maybe that’s because I’m a PS3 guy more than an old school guy
I would always prefer the Acekard over the other brands. AceKard has been in the business for a long time and that’s enough of a reason for me to stick with them.
