A developer known as Mr. Rubik on YouTube is working on a new app that gives Android phones a major retro makeover. The app is a launcher, which means it changes the entire look and feel of your device’s home screen and UI. And in this case, it makes everything look like a Nintendo DS or DSi.
A video preview posted by the creator shows the design in action. It copies the old console’s style very closely, right down to the on-screen clock and the text style. The result is a home screen that feels very familiar to anyone who owned the original gaming device.
The upcoming Nintendo DS launcher for Android will not just sit there looking like the home screen. It can also show all the apps you have installed in the DS-style layout. It also pulls in your game collection, including ROMs for DS, DSi, and Game Boy Advance titles. You can change how icons look, and the app also works with notification badges and third-party icon packs.
One big selling point is privacy. The developer promises that the app works without an internet connection. It also does not collect your data or include any tracking tools.
The Nintendo DS Android launcher seems like a natural fit for foldable phones or smaller handheld-style Android devices. Mr. Rubik has already shown a clip of it working on the AYN Thor, a popular gaming handheld. He is also taking suggestions from users and plans to add a dark mode later on.
Another fun feature is PictoChat, the simple drawing and messaging tool that DS fans will remember. The developer says this feature will work, but only over local networks at first.
Right now, there is no launch date or price for the app. But for anyone who misses the look of their old DS, this upcoming launcher is something to keep an eye on.
