Works just the same as the original Nintendo equipment. Same size, etc. Great product.

Make sure you know what your getting, this is for the old version of Nintendo DS. Eforcity informed me that if you have DS Lite you need to order their other version. Product works as described, got this for someone to save them from buying batteries all the time. I guess make sure you buy from the right seller. It does have the folding blades.

Works just like it should. Half the price of what I could find at video game stores.

I am very happy with the game charger we purchased. Being unable to find one at any store, I thought we'd try this with my daughters gameboy. It worked perfectly. We've had it for almost a month now and no problems.

My daughter had lost the charger to her Gameboy Advance, but this was the perfect substitute. Great for home and travel!

This charger stopped working less than 2 weeks out of the package. I wouldn't recommend it.

I bought this charger for my daughter for her 13th birthday. I was pleased with the price as well as the amount of time it took to be delivered. Once it arrived, it worked great but then not even 2 or 3 days later, the PLASTIC holding the prong in place broke. We are back to not having a charger for her gameboy again. This charger is poor quality and not worth even the small amount it cost.

This was to replace the original one that was damaged. It works as well as the name brand.

I bought this charger for my little brother's GBA SP and this item did not charge it. It needed to be pushed so that it would fully insert into the GBA's charge port and even then, the best I could get from it would be that the charge light would flicker for a few seconds then turn off again. DO NOT BUY THIS CHARGER it is a waste of money.

We've had one of these little things for a couple of years (bought from Amazon at less than a dollar), and it worked well for the Nintendo GBA SP and the DS. That one died, and we bought two more, also at less than a dollar each.

Unfortunately, with these inexpensive adapters, it seems to be hit-and-miss. One of the adapters worked for two days and then died, one didn't even work straight out of the box. Our Mom, who knows about wiring, took the old one apart, then took one of the new ones apart, and determined that the wiring through the whole units were badly done.

Here's the worst thing if you get a charger that's a "miss" instead of a "hit"- they're so inexpensive that it's not worth returning them- in our case, we would have spent three dollars to ship them back, to get only two dollars back on the chargers. (Keeping in mind that we also spent money on shipping to get them in the first place.)

Here's our suggestion- instead of getting one of these, go to Game Stop and grab one of the chargers there for $9.99- it's been about a month since we got ours, and so far so good. Plus, it'll charge most newer Nintendo handhelds since it has multiple plugs. It also has a USB plug so you can charge your handheld system through anything that has USB 2.0. (Computer, XBox 360, etc.)
