Looking for Nintendo DS Roms? Let me tell ya something... every time you play a DS rom it makes all of us honest game players suffer.

What is a game ROM?

What is a "rom" you ask? A rom is essentially a ripped version of a game. Someone hacks the game, downloads the content and creates an "emulator" that will run the game on a computer. Then they make the rom and emulator available to the general public for mass consumption.

Yet at the same time this Nintendo DS game is packed with lots of new features and takes advantage of the duel DS screen very nicely. I admit I was a fan of the 3D world found in Super Mario 64 but come on, there is something mind-numbingly fun about that side scrolling action.
