Frequently Asked Questions

This is a reproduction box — not an original. It features faithful artwork reproduction, sturdy cardstock construction, and the same form factor as the original Nintendo DS packaging. Ideal for collectors who want display-ready packaging.

Does the boxed edition include a manual?
You get the cartridge and box. Manuals are available only in select editions — check the product options above to see if this title's boxed edition includes one.

Is this Nintendo DS boxed edition good for gifting?
