i remember after nintendo announced the closure of the 3ds eshop, the next day a kid in my german class was trying to convince my teacher to give him the money to buy bird and beans (pyoru) in a super overly dramatic debate format. was really funny, iirc she actually did buy it for him afterward since it was only like four bucks or something.
@absolutezerochill2700 sometimes playing games on original hardware feels GREAT. I could easily emulate 3ds games on my phone but playing the games on a 3ds feels much better, its the same for other games and consoles.
i ordered a fancy japanese new 3ds recently. while waiting for it to arrive, i was cleaning out my room and found my old dusty dsi. i modded it & filled up the sd card. needless to say, the new 3ds is still in the box. i have no idea why, or what it even is that draws me to it. technically speaking, the 3DS is just a better DSi. but for some reason, i just vastly prefer playing ds games on my DSi. something about it, i guess
@@Kurozu1991 It has to do with the pixel density and the resolution of the DS/DSi being 1:1 with the games. Native systems are much more clear whereas the 3DS will have some native blur to it because there are more pixels. You can still have DS games run at their native resolution by holding Start/Select before you boot up the game, but you just end up with ugly black borders around the screen.
When i was little i used to play games at first and then on the last 3 days before the charger for my dsi Broke, i would play Flipnote studio to toy with the last few little animations that were trash and it became a memory that i will never forget. its sad it all dissapeared.
when it comes to the ds i play obscure games like de blob 2 (scott the woz has a copy of it ) and trackmania these were total gems (the 2d sonic games were good too)
Fun fact: Asphalt 4 was also released on the iPod. No, not the iPod Touch. The old click wheel iPod. The iPod games were available on iTunes, but they removed that part of the store in 2011, so there is no way to get Asphalt 4 besides finding an iPod that already has it installed. A few of the other games were cracked, allowing people to install them without buying them, but efforts to crack the remaining games died off as the iPod lost popularity. Since it has now been over a decade since the store was shut down, it's unlikely that these games will ever be cracked.
Honestly for years I never knew how the DSi was and still is one of the best classic DS models out there. Sure, it lacks the GBA slot, but that can be easily remedied with some hacking. It’s the only classic DS that has an SD card slot, its buttons are MUCH nicer than the DS lite’s, the design resists fingerprints much better, it uses the same charger as the 3DS last I checked, it has a much better menu, the star button doubles a reset button so no more shutting the whole console off to get back to the main menu, it has WiFi and its own dedicated store, and overall, it’s just a wonderful system. I’ve always seen the 3DS as a whole different type of console, and the DSi as the last true original classic DS. Well done on this video!
Being someone who also lost their Black DSi and only just recently found it again, I know exactly how you feel. Great video already and I'm only like a minute in!
I had a DSi and a 3DS but never had a DS. I watched someone play a game from her DS but that's as far as it got. But I do remember constantly losing my touchscreen stick 😂
im glad i got a dsi xl so i can play all of my favorite games on a big screen and mess around with my flash cart that i use with my phat ds often and i modded my dsi within the same day of me getting it

Thanks.
I won my DSi during a primary school assembly. It was a glorious moment.
Sounds like your school was lit
I got my dsi at a pawn shop with games in it Sonic Rush,Rush Adventure and Colors.I am rn playing on my dsi wich I now hb and jailbroke
My mom bought mine but someone stole it
What fucking school is that we were lucky to win a mini bag of haribo
I stole mine from a homeless woman's child who i think was like 5

Just searched it up, game was 2 dollars haha, looks fun. That guy sounds like a legend.
@@timedyne last year i convinced my teacher to give me her PS3
DSi has once again become my daily driver and favorite console beating the 3ds
I hacked my dsi xl and my sons dsi. We have been on a very long Pokémon binge. They are the best.
@@RolandKoller90 W father
but...why can't you just play your ds games on your 3ds?

Uh, probably because DS games look a lot better on a DS than 3DS. Difference is night and day.
DS games look better on a DSi. Something about the 3DS's screen messes them up.
And dsi xl is the best

oh boy you wouldn't know how far the rabbit hole goes...
trust me, there are so many versions of asphalt 4 that you wouldn't wanna know
before I moved, me and my friend would play MKDS together and use picto chat in class (since our classes were right next to eachother)
I have the dsi xl that thing still is great I did recently hack it too so I can load all my games on the sd card and even play retro games on it lol.

SONIC ADVENTURE 3 OC WOOOOO
Literally predicted sonic forces 11 years ago nice
I got my dsi when I was about 3-6 years old from my parents and I juts found it recently and literally can't find any media about it
Yeah. DSiWare is a beautiful gem, forgotten in time. Thankfully I picked up a couple of titles on 3DS before all that died off.
TIL you can install custom firmware on a DSi so you can still play DSiWare games today! Will definitely be trying that out
Wdym this is objectively the best of the original ds models
not now the lack of gba support and everything you could want out of this is on the 3ds
@@chilledgamering i said original ds models, the 3ds is backwards compatible but the architecture is a lot different
@@ocsanik502 homebrew it

Yes review the artstyle games you have!
Great video!
nintendogs sounds like a quality game

The discord Notification sounds always get me me X'D
this channel has the quality of one with 40,000 subs, how are you so niche?
minis march again is a great ds/3ds
I’m getting a dsi today
It's my childhood.
you are unironically so underrated! Instant sub
I have a dsi with that same color

The DSi forgotten?
Nope I remember the DSi
I miss the Download Play feature of the GBA, DS and 3DS. Now games are too big for it to be feasible.
1:53 Can Anyone tell me the name of this game please ?
Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing
Honestly the DSi has nothing to offer that the 3DS doesn’t have. 🤷♂️
best screen for DS games
cheap as hell
I feel no nostalgia for this. I still use my DSi.
same
I love the DSi, but it pains me to know that people find my pride and joy the DSi XL a useless redesign
Yes the fast selling DS on it's launch compared to other models is forgotten
The DSi was a huge part of my childhood bro ✨
Nah nah some times before I lost it I used to play it alot
Ghosts and stuff 👀
I'm just pissed we never got a DS Lite XL.
My sister has a pink one lol
Hi jack
2009? The dsi was released in 2008.
i think that my dsl with a ezflash r4 card and ezflash gba is superior.
Mante Route
Forgotten you joking
You can't play GBA games with it
