Balatro, the acclaimed card game that was nominated for Game of the Year at the recent The Game Awards 2024, has achieved remarkable success on PC and is preparing for its arrival on Xbox. This title has captured the attention of the gaming community, fostering an active environment that not only enjoys the game but is also dedicated to the development of mods and additional content.
Nintendo DS, you gave us great moments and we still remember you a lot
One of the most surprising news is the emergence of an experimental mod that allows you to play Balatro on an old Nintendo DS, a device that stopped receiving support over a decade ago. How long has it been since you used it? Although the mod does not offer a complete experience and has limitations regarding cards and game mechanics, it represents a first step towards the possible adaptation of the game on this console. Interested parties can find this mod on GitHub, where enthusiasts are invited to explore the possibilities of their old machine.
The community’s effort has been essential to keep the interest in Balatro alive, which in recent days has received updates that introduce new cards and customizations related to other popular games and sagas. These additions not only enrich the gaming experience but also pave the way for future collaborations and promotions, promising a prosperous outlook for the developing studio.
With the ongoing success of Balatro, it is expected that the studio behind the game will be able to finance new projects, allowing this creative journey to continue in the future. The combination of a dedicated player base and active development suggests that Balatro is not only a triumph at this moment but may also be the beginning of something even greater in the universe of video games.
