To play many of these games, you will need an emulator on your computer or mobile device.
For personal computers, we recommend mGBA for Gameboy titles and melonDS for the Nintendo DS games. Nevertheless, we highly encourage you to support the official release, and we can only hope the Hamtaro games will be re-released officially someday!

Hamtaro Nazo-Nazo Q!
First Hamtaro game for NDS - here a lot of new hamsters appear that we don't see in the English series. It's in Japanese.
In this game, well... I don't know exactly what's the story here, but seems like some kind of evil boys kidnapped a princess in a floating castle. She dropped a book that fell on Sorahamu-kun (Sky Ham), who was flying, and he falls to the ground. Then a Ham called "Nande-kun" (Nande means "What" or "who") appears, who will help the Ham-Hams save the princess!

English
Japanese
Second Hamtaro game for NDS, availalble in English :D Here we only see the main 15 Ham-Hams, but in a Haai! style. Haai! is the last "season" of Hamtaro, featuring little short animations of 5 minutes.
In this game you need to play a lot of easy -but still fun- minigames to get postcards :D
