A little over half a year ago, Nintendo made the decision to launch its first relevant title from its catalog for mobile platforms. This decision led to a resounding failure, as the game attempted to imitate the gameplay style of other titles released many years ago, such as Temple Run or Lara Croft: Relic Run. However, due to the freedom that the Android system provides, we now have the ability to enjoy original titles from other platforms using emulators found in the Play Store. Today, we will guide you on how to play New Super Mario Bros on Android, the iconic title from the Nintendo DS.
This guide is applicable not only to playing New Super Mario Bros but also to almost any game on the Nintendo DS. We will be using emulators compatible with the Nintendo portable console format. So, if you’re interested in enjoying other titles such as Pokemon or Zelda, you will need to follow the same steps outlined here for the Super Mario game.
How to Play Super Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, and Other Nintendo DS Titles on Android
To play Nintendo DS games on your mobile device, you’ll need to use well-known emulators. We previously compiled a list of these emulators in an article you can refer to.
When it comes to Nintendo’s portable console, several emulators are available, but the most effective ones by far are DraStic DS Emulator and Free DS Emulator.
Once you have downloaded and installed either of these emulators, you’ll need to obtain the ROMs of the games you want to play. You can do this by visiting a website that offers game ROMs and downloading your desired game. For instance, let’s choose New Super Mario Bros, which can be downloaded from [website link]. If prompted to install an extension (Yahoo extension), ignore it and select “Skip” to directly download the ROM.
After downloading the game, it might be in a .zip or .7z format to reduce its size. To run it on the emulators mentioned earlier, you’ll need to unzip it and convert it into the .nds format using applications like RAR.
Now you can enjoy playing New Super Mario Bros on your Android device. Open the emulator you downloaded, select the “Load Game” option, and navigate to the path where the game is located in order to run it correctly. It’s a good idea to create a folder named ds games to organize all your .nds files in one place. Alternatively, you can organize them into separate folders within the emulators directory, if applicable. The choice depends on each application’s functionality.
