View Full Version : Japanese Nintendo DS Manual: What you shouldn't do with your DS!

As I mentioned on one of the CAGcast (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&search=cagcast%20mp3)s (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=2&search=cagcast%20mp3), the Japanese Nintendo DS manual (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/anzen/hard/ds_anzen.pdf) sure has a lot of warnings...9 pages of them to be exact.
Since I can't read Japanese too well, I figured I'd just give it my best guess:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds1.gifWhile a fire looks like a good place to store your Nintendo DS, you may want to consider one of the officially licensed Nintendo cases.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds2.gif If you see this, you have awoken the Genie of the DS!
He's probably pissed off that we made him manufacture these in China for 10 cents an hour. Run away!
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds6.gifThe DS's power cord is too short to be used as effective nunchucks. Instead, Nintendo recommends attaching the DS the the handle of a katana.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds3.gifIf you DS gets thirsty, be sure to use a straw. He's a sloppy motherfucker.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds9.gif Playing the DS while driving is distracting.
You may find yourself doing odd things like driving on the wrong side of the car.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds4.gif Be sure to keep your DS in close reach of your children.
You wouldn't want your kids straining themselves when they want to play Animal Crossing or take a piss on your DS.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds7.gifBe sure to use 2 DSs' when attempting to rollerskate.
Using one is just stupid.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds5.gif If your are going to throw your DS out the window, make sure pick a suitable target like your friends' head.
Pretty much anything other than the sidewalk will do.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds10.gifWhile the DS stylus is tasty, its a much better fit up your nose, or even better, inside your eyelid.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds8.gifDon't try to bed the DS without taking it out for an expensive meal. Its not a slut like the PSP.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds12.gifPutting only one DS in your back pocket will make your ass look really weird. Go with two for that Jennifer Lopez look.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds11.gif http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds13.gifPushing your fingers through the DS will likely give you some kind of super-human powers ala Electro.
Do not do so unless you can handle the responsibility.

Let this be a lesson to those who point the fingers at the United States for being unnecessarily redundant (such as putting "Warning: Hot" notices on coffee cups).
9 pages of redundant, even.

I remember all the warning labels my GBA had when I imported it, do Japanese people actually do all the things pictured?

Awesome. I remember when I got my first PS, there was a similar "do not do" list that had a anthropomorphic PS doing things like taking a shower or shooting electricity at kids(I think).

Now that I think about all nintendo stuff comes with warning. Stuff that should keep parents from buying stuff at all. They have warning seizures on everything. Nothing as funny as cheapy's stuff.

So I decide to dig up my Japanese DS manual since I didn't read the manual at all when I got my DS from Hong Kong (why would I read the manual if I don't understand Japanese?).
Yep, haha it's there. Good find Cheapy!

Oh man, just got linked to this from Kotaku talking about the Lites warnings. Now how am I supposed to wait patiently for my Lite when it's going to be ten fold this?!?!
That and I want to know why the Japanese reward the first people in line with sitting on the cement when everyone else got nicey comfy folding chairs? Are they just jerks like that? Were they really homeless folks that just happened to nap there and people started forming a line behind them? If the later's the case I can see why there's a warning against eating the stylus.

Playing GTA then driving is more dangerous
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds4.gif
Obvious and the same for small animals. They should have a picture of a Bird taking a dunk on the NDS in mid flight or a dog biting it.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds7.gif
Did this with my GBA tons of times by ignorance.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds5.gif
The NDS would come apart not kidding you. Imagine flinging a NDS or Gameboy out the window head first.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds10.gif
Warning for kids again and Bukkake hoars. Then again that stlyus might have been elsewhere.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds8.gif
Well I do play like this sometimes in the past. I think the Gameboy gave me static electricity.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds12.gif
I had my GBA SP in my pants pocket and left it in there over night. THe next day my GBA had scratch marks all over the case from the pants. MY Gameboy was much better. Then again Asians walk around in velvet running pants all the time which is nicer on the skin.

lunar dragon song was apparently a very bad game, some of the mechanics in it were really weird like losing health as you run
Well the reason why you lose health is the fact when you run your body sweats and you will never see people running around in armor or heavy gear.
In the original Lunar all they did was walk here and walk there. It was annoying but then again if they made the characters run here and there then the realism of the game would have been dimished.

Dragons are realistic though as is the song that those dragons happen to enjoy.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds1.gifWhile a fire looks like a good place to store your Nintendo DS, you may want to consider one of the officially licensed Nintendo cases.

He's probably pissed off that we made him manufacture these in China for 10 cents an hour. Run away!
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds6.gifThe DS's power cord is too short to be used as effective nunchucks. Instead, Nintendo recommends attaching the DS the the handle of a katana.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds3.gifIf you DS gets thirsty, be sure to use a straw. He's a sloppy motherfucker.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds9.gif Playing the DS while driving is distracting.
You may find yourself doing odd things like driving on the wrong side of the car.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds4.gif Be sure to keep your DS in close reach of your children.
You wouldn't want your kids straining themselves when they want to play Animal Crossing or take a piss on your DS.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds7.gifBe sure to use 2 DSs' when attempting to rollerskate.
Using one is just stupid.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds5.gif If your are going to throw your DS out the window, make sure pick a suitable target like your friends' head.
Pretty much anything other than the sidewalk will do.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/ymij/jds/ds10.gifWhile the DS stylus is tasty, its a much better fit up your nose, or even better, inside your eyelid.
