Voltage Nintendo DS UK vs Brazil

I intend to buy a Nintendo DS to my nephew in the UK, where the voltage is 220v. The problem is that my nephew lives in Brazil, where the voltage is 110v. I want to know if the Nintendo DS will work in Brazil, even with this difference of power.
Thanks in Advance,
Barbara

possibly not, even with an adaptor. Have you thought about maybe ordering one from an American-based website and getting it shipped to Brazil? America has the same sort of voltage power.

is the electric grade in the uk not 240 volt?? if you want to use it overseas you will need a transformer or adaptor.

Hi Aunty,
Best to check exactly which voltage they have where your relatives live, Brazil doesn't have a standard voltage supply or socket type. Mains power can be anything from 115V to 220V. There is an article here but the exact areas are not clear as Brazil is a very large country.
