After I left my dads my dsi was left behind, 5 years later when I visited my old house it was still in my closet and I turned it on and it was at 80% still. I was very happy and I was able to buy a charger off Amazon. The little things like this in life are what I live for.
This happened to me, though not nearly as long. Still surprised the heck out of me. My sister borrowed mine to play The Sims a year or so ago. Gave it back eventually saying she only really played it for a couple weeks. I absentmindedly flipped the power switch, and I was positively stunned that it came on. These things just don’t die.
Lost it down a flight of stairs twice, hit it and tossed in in frustration many times over the span of a decade. The sturdiest and most reliable piece of tech I’ve ever owned. It wasn’t even damaged when I lost it, my useless ass just couldn’t find it when moving
It’s so true. I booted up my 3DS and ds to charge and deplete to 50% for storage. My 3DS died within a few hours. It took days for the ds to start flashing.
Makes me wonder how they fucked up the switch so bad, I left mine for a month after moving and it was completely dead, charged it to find I lost about 50 hours of BOTW 🙁
My grandma passed away recently and while cleaning her house we found her DS that she hadn’t touched for the past decade. It still worked, fully charged and all. It’s crazy how long these last.
make sure to check your ds or psp’s batteries for swelling as this meme is probably really old and thus the batteries are even older and they do decompose and swell and can be massive dangers to your home
I can confirm. I found my gameboy advance sp after being in storage for years and I flipped the switch not thinking that it would turn on. The screen lit up and I started playing advance wars.
My kobo reader fom 2010 just got pulled out of storage after 9 years and it still had 75% battery. And worked perfectly fine after sitting in shed for many seasons.
My favorite game system of all time. Still have mine with the Mario case and top sticker. That said, would be great to fix the touchscreen on mine if I had the confidence to not screw it up.
Same holds true to my old 3DS xl. I somehow left it open while running ocarina of time 3d and it still had 30% battery remaining. I closed and didn’t play on it because i felt guilty leaving it on for what i think is months
We weren’t ready for it when it came out

The last great system not secretly designed to spy on you for some tech giant’s advertising scheme.

It had so many legendary games too!
I actually bought my two young kids each one of these for Christmas this past year. They love it! Nintendogs, Mario Party and Animal Crossing!

I found my nokia, full battery and resumed crossy road game
only thing i play at 3am since then
and then you have my school laptops that are dead in less then an hour even when shut down
I found my old GameBoy Advance SP a few months ago. Hadn’t played it in over a decade. Still kicked on and was playing Megaman Battle Network
Makes me sad that the switch batteries are shite
LOL I actually took it out last week and realized the same thing. Amazing shit
I left mine for 6 hours and broke
Fr how do the batteries in these things last forever, but phone batteries are cooked after like 1 year, or 2 at a stretch?
Yeah they do degrade over time sadly
Mi phone: *left for 2 min in the bathroom*, batery -9876543456789098765432123456789098765432%
I wish, battery expanded in mine so had to take it out. I’ll probably just keep it as a memento and keep using emulators on PC.
Definitely not the case with mine but realistically it probably didn’t have a full battery anyways…
Can‘t say the same about my batteries in the Wii Remote. These discharge in about one week in storage

You put it there with 50%
not my 3ds tho, might have just stored it with a full battery and burned it out tho. sure i could replace it.
Intel must learn from Nintendo
Soo true!!😂😂
also 100% bullshit

Looks good 😊
They don’t make them like they used to anymore.
Reminds me of my original iPod.
They just don’t make things like they used to. Sounding old, I know. 😂
Nokia 33010 going the same way
But While playing, the battery dried out within 7 hours
I had the OG chunky DS
Found my DS (haven’t touched in 5+ years) a few months back and the light was red. Sad 🙁
I left my Gameboy Advance SP for almost 15 years in the attic, found it a few weeks back, and it still turned on just fine with some charge left.
Nintendo 3DS XL > Nintendo Switch
That’s because it doesn’t go into sleep mode when you turn it off…
