The Story Behind the Nintendo DS
Back in 2007, I attended my first Game Developers Conference (GDC) and had the privilege of presenting awards during the Game Audio Network Guild ceremony. It was there that I met gaming legends like Shigeru Miyamoto, Koji Kondo, Charles Martinet, Eiji Aonuma, and Martin Leung. I asked each of them to sign my Nintendo DS, and it has since become a treasured keepsake.

Please note that the auction does not include a charger for the DS, as handling it may degrade the quality of the signatures. However, if the buyer desires, I can track down a charger. I highly recommend keeping the Nintendo DS in a glass case, similar to how I have preserved it over the years.
