01

Overview

The sequel continues the franchise's mischievous premise, moving the action from a shared wall to travel destinations such as Mexico, India, and China. Players guide Woody through a series of timed episodes, using hidden tools and quick decisions to annoy the neighbour and his companions while avoiding detection. The Nintendo DS card presents the second game's content, even when box or card artwork uses the simpler “Neighbours from Hell” title.

02

Why it matters

It shows how the series adapted its desktop prank mechanics for a portable, two-screen format. As a European-only physical release on the DS, it occupies a small but interesting niche in the franchise's publishing history.

03

The physical edition

A complete copy typically includes a Nintendo DS game card, a printed instruction manual, and the retail box, though specific contents can vary by region or retailer. The visible title on the box or card may not always match the internal subtitle, so edition and region details should be confirmed before purchase.

Playing it today

The game card runs on original Nintendo DS hardware and should be tested before purchase or long storage. Its simple, level-based design makes it easy to pick up, but players should expect a short, puzzle-focused experience rather than a long campaign.
