How to Get Cheats for Nintendo DS Games

Nintendo DS is the hottest portable gaming system on the market today. There are DS games for all skill levels, with "cheats" for more difficult games. A cheat is a code or set of instructions unlocking higher levels or opening otherwise inaccessible parts of the game. Try different avenues to get cheats to make the DS games more enjoyable.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Buy a video game magazine. Many large newsstands and bookstores carry a variety of video game magazines that contain cheats. Some magazines are specifically devoted to Nintendo DS, such as "Nintendo the Magazine." There are also specific cheat magazines, like "Computer and Videogames Magazine," which contain cheats for multiple gaming systems.

2. Purchase cheats online. There are several sites that offer cheats for sale. Two to explore are Gamezone and Supercheats. It's a fast and easy way to get cheats when you're in a hurry or can't find them in a magazine.

3. Ask friends for help. Many people have Nintendo DS gaming systems. If they have the same games as you, they may already have the cheats that you need.

4. Check out Nintendo DS online bulletin boards and blogs, such as DS Fanboy or SuperDSblog. Many other gamers regularly post the cheats they use. Often cheats on bulletin boards and blogs aren't even sold commercially, giving a special advantage to those who regularly follow Nintendo DS bulletin boards and blogs.
