Thanks! This brought me back to september 2006. Got a White DS Lite for my 13th birthday. My first reaction was that the console seemed so LUXUOUS compared to my old GBA SP. I was almost shaking from excitment.
I remember my 7th birthday, 2007. We were about to move cross country, so for my birthday my parents got me a white DS Lite. That same day, my dad took me to this little old game shop and I bought my first copy of pokemon emerald, and Pokemon Diamond. I still have my original copy of Diamond, and I hold it dearly.
this really is a top tier console. Smaller than the original DS, but STILL plays GBA carts. Truly peak handheld design. Only thing I was never thrilled about with it was the glossy casing that attracts smudges too easily, but that's a personal thing as a guy with some sweaty ass hands
The DS Lite being able to play GBA games is a huge factor, but personally I love the original DSi, it looked & felt so premium & nice, the screens were much larger & brighter, the buttons felt nicer, it has a volume rocker instead of a slider, and a power switch instead of a slider
@@justadummy8076 honestly I always forget about the DSi, I think because I never had one when I was a teenager, I went right from the DS Lite to the 2DS years later, and neither of my sisters had one either. Would love to get my hands on one though, I think they made an XL version even. They made so many good permutations of the DS, awesome console
@@justadummy8076 I agree, I'm new to collecting DS Lites and DSi consoles, but the DSi is the perfect form factor, matte finish, bigger, better brighter screens and more ram and faster cpu, but I still have to say the DS Lite is the best of all time because it'll play the entire GBA library. That's unbeatable.
@enthused7591 I still have my 2009 Black Friday metallic blue DSi and have played it occasionally since I got it as a kid. The RB bumpers don't like to work and I replaced it's battery when it started bulging a year ago but it's still going strong.
I got a red one sealed 10 years ago. I wanna give it to my brother in the long future. He broke his red one as a kid, and giving it to him later will be something special.
i love the ds lite, i restored the one from my childhood just recently with a new shell (avoid the cheap ones if anyone is doing that) and its kinda insane how much value you can get out one of those, especially with two flashcards in slot 1 and 2 i wouldnt recommand doing a reshell to beginners since its kinda tricky but its doable if youre okay with trying a few time
the firered gba cartridge was the first pokemon i ever got and when you started it up with the gba screen and sound i got legit teleported back in time like that critic in rattatoulli❤
A beautiful console. Thanks for sharing this, I unboxed the Zelda gold a few years ago sealed (lots of critics of course haha) but there's nothing quite like touching the DS Lite and cutting the seal open. DS Lite FTW!
This was a really great video! I even have a black Nintendo Light & 3DS XL, one of the main reasons why I love the DS light is because I love game boy advance games, and I will continue to play that handheld in 2024 going into 2025. Seeing those Pokemon games was great as well! I have Pokemon soul silver, Sapphire, moon, black, black 2, X and Diamond all for the same handheld DS Light! Good review as well! enjoy watching.
this is one of my favorite till this day. i will never forget when my mom got me this exact model for my birthday at the pawn shop. Nintendo has a special place in my heart
Super cool. I was way behind the curve in terms of learning about the DS. Grew up with Gameboy Color and Advance. When I learned the DS Lite had a GBA reader, I went on Ebay last year and could NOT believe nice condition DS Lites were still $35-$40 each and I grabbed a dozen of them, including about 7 complete in box for around $80 each. There's no chance they stay cheap for much longer. We're super lucky they're still this affordable. To be able to play the entire massive GBA and DS libraries on that nicer, better screens of the DS Lite compared to the regular DS, I honestly may pick up a few more before there's a massive run up on these things.
Damn i remember going to buy a red ds lite when i broke my other one in 2009/2010. I also picked up pokemon white version with that. Greatest feeling ever!
This was a nice video to watch. I have never seen that first language select menu! That menu does not appear when you remove/replace the battery or firmware!
I remember falling over from excitement when i opened my silver ds lite on my 8th birthday(I think). I got pokemon diamond and mario 64ds. Its my favorite handheld console of all time.
I still have and occasionally play my crimson red DS Lite when I was 12, wish I still kept the box. (I never had physical DS games because it was bundled with an R4 kart lol)
I remember as a kid getting one of these in an easter basket from my mom and I would play pokemon black 2 at home while recovering from a sprained ankle when i was supposed to be af school but playing on it was so much fun
I currently am looking around for a ds lite thats either custom/refurbed or just sealed try and get anything custom for it maybe, not sure. Thanks for the awesome video!
God this takes me right back to 2006 as i also got a black DS lite. I remember getting mine at Costco and rushing to get it set up when we came home at night. Played a lot of New Super Mario Bros
@@B_e_D_e_O_X very good call man. I bought HeartGold when I was in high school and sold it a few years after that, biggest mistake of my life. I've tried to buy it since and got hit with a counterfeit cart :(
The nostalgia I got from this was a feeling I haven't felt in a while. Just all the time spent grinding Pokemon Diamond, Ben10, creating crazy things in Scribblenauts, Gameboy version of YuGiOh. My DS had my back during my childhood🤧. Thanks for the video!
on the home screen where it says ‘touch to start’ you press up+select+B together at the same time then u will have the option to reset the save files or not it works with every pokemon game on the ds
You might want to replace the DS battery ASAP. Old batteries can explode and potentially destroy the console. It's been incredibly random for me, I've bought sealed consoles myself and had it be fine for the foreseeable future, but I had a sealed PSP in storage and upon unboxing it, the battery had blown open the back of the console and the inside was damaged, had to get it repaired.
I got my sealed in box ds lite for $60 it the red one wanted the black but couldn’t beat the deal 3 months ago then I picked up a dsi xl and haven’t been happier lol got a r4 card and have all my gba roms on it for sure best way to play gba games and ds games feel dumb for opening the ds lite but it’s mine now haha
when i was around 12 i had a copy of soul silver but i traded it for some random game because i didnt rly understand or like rpgs at the time. my copy would go for around $200 now. wow.
got mine on my 7th birthday in 2008 from a radio shack that used to be in the mall. I wore the ds to the ground but still have my copy of soulsilver which I hope never to part with
The word sealed has a L in it. Great video though. I have my SD Lite still with the box and everything it came with. Probably my favorite console I own.
1:30 This video is a prime example of why you should ALWAYS go for physical media. NONE of these games are available for the Switch NOR on the Nintendo eShop digitally. These are slowly being considered "lost media" due to discontinued productions owing to latest hardware and software editions coming out. Yet these games are the BEST mainline Pokemon games.......even better than Sword/Shield, Scarlet/Violet, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. Always VOUCH for Physical Media......
My aunt and uncle bought me one two months before Pokemon Diamond came out in 2007 I remember my parents wouldnt buy me one because my birthday had passed a couple months prior to that. One of the best assists of my chidlhood career honestly lol

It looks so clean
I'm sooooooo jealous you got to buy a sealed on. So lucky. Great unboxing video!
Bro just casually opened a time capsule
I got a red one sealed 10 years ago. I wanna give it to my brother in the long future. He broke his red one as a kid, and giving it to him later will be something special.
If you ever remember this comment in the future, you should take a video of that and upload it! Just the unboxing at the very least

Lovely unboxing, so many beautiful memories I have imprinted in this console ❤
God this was so awesome! Thanks for the nostalgia!

You’ve inspired me to buy an extra console each gen so I can keep it sealed
Smart long term investment. Imagine how rich we’d be rn if we did that with pokemon cards 😭
But an extra console so you can hang on to it for 15 years and make a $200 profit from it? Might as well just buy Bitcoin
@@deaglefly4338you’d make exactly what you’d get if you had a regular job.
@@leeroymlg4692 Isn't 1 bitcoin like, $68,000?
I’ve thought about it
so cool seeing this opened!
i felt the satisfaction through the screen, great buy man
oh that platinum intro and sound que.
the nostalgia just pours in. i need to buy one again a hard copy.
Wow, this took me back.
Thank you for that.
I decided to subscribe, let's see where this goes.
This made my childhood great, i misss the feeling of joy. Plus all. The Pokémon games man
That’s freaking awesome wish I remember doing that.
So much nostalgia ❤

Holy nostalgia those sound effects and that music ...
This is awesome! Man the DS line and 3DS line was probably my favorite handheld in my entire life! I miss it so damn much…..
Damn that was amazing. Never unboxed one myself I but felt like I was the one opening it. I def need to get me a used glossy version of the black nds.
That was cool. really felt nostalgic, I had a white ds lite and i played like pokemon pearl on it all the time.
Man ur bringing back a lot of memories lol

you are living my dream sir thanks for sharing this
Still have mine, bought it brand new back in early 2000s.
damn this brought be back to opening mine.
my first handheld
I remember falling over from excitement when i opened my silver ds lite on my 8th birthday(I think). I got pokemon diamond and mario 64ds. Its my favorite handheld console of all time.
I vividly remember saving up for this when I was in 4th grade. Bought it on my own and a copy of Pokemon Diamond.
Still have my black DS Lite from when I was a kid. The small hinge broke on my original DS, but never had a issue with the Lite.
Thanks for showing us
im 18 i remember when i was 5 and i got my first ds man such a beautiful piece of tech know i own a ambernic and just love it
I still have and occasionally play my crimson red DS Lite when I was 12, wish I still kept the box. (I never had physical DS games because it was bundled with an R4 kart lol)
I remember as a kid getting one of these in an easter basket from my mom and I would play pokemon black 2 at home while recovering from a sprained ankle when i was supposed to be af school but playing on it was so much fun
Buying extra consoles sealed to resell decades later is smart. I wish people did that with GameCube
Man i had the same DS Lite color back in the day with the same box. 😢 Miss it.
I currently am looking around for a ds lite thats either custom/refurbed or just sealed try and get anything custom for it maybe, not sure. Thanks for the awesome video!
God this takes me right back to 2006 as i also got a black DS lite. I remember getting mine at Costco and rushing to get it set up when we came home at night. Played a lot of New Super Mario Bros
ah man you have HeartGold AND SoulSilver?! I've been looking for those games for damn forever, legit carts are so much money nowadays
If you think HGSS is expensive, try getting your hands on BW / BW2
So annoying
I bought complete copies when I first got a job I’m glad I did that back then I didnt care about the price because if wouldn’t do it now 😵💫
@@B_e_D_e_O_X very good call man. I bought HeartGold when I was in high school and sold it a few years after that, biggest mistake of my life. I've tried to buy it since and got hit with a counterfeit cart :(
I remember this feeling of watching this when I was a kid on the papers wishlist.
i still remember asking my brother to buy me one for my birthday when i was a kid, got the silver one and now my niece has it. shes enjoying it.
I remember being at a friends birthday party and he got this with the pokemon diamond game and we all crowded around watching it
diabolical putting the ad right before the opening to hope to make some money
Man... I was teleported back to the exact moment when my little brother got his DS Lite as a gift.
I still remember vividly opening my red ds lite 2. I think that was 2009
The nostalgia I got from this was a feeling I haven't felt in a while. Just all the time spent grinding Pokemon Diamond, Ben10, creating crazy things in Scribblenauts, Gameboy version of YuGiOh. My DS had my back during my childhood🤧. Thanks for the video!
Along with my many DS and 3DS consoles, I still have one sealed DSi XL (blue) console. Probably worth something in 20 years :D
Throwback to when I got a black DS lite with animal crossing for christmas, first video game console I ever got as a gift
DS era was peak gaming

I still got mine in n/m condition with the original Heart Gold and poke walker.
man this makes me wonder where my old light blue one went. at least i still have my 3ds with me
seeing this makes me want to buy a brand new PSP & PS VITA from Japan
The DS is gonna wake up like he was in a time machine not knowing what year it is😅
It’s beautiful
Hey great video man! Where did you get this sealed DS Lite?
thank you for this

Did PAL UK versions have seals? I don’t remember my UK version having any seals on the box flaps
when i was around 12 i had a copy of soul silver but i traded it for some random game because i didnt rly understand or like rpgs at the time. my copy would go for around $200 now. wow.
Cool video man
I still have a good condition Original red 3DS and new never used but unboxed 2DS XL in my drawer I havent used my original 3DS in 8-9 years

Awesome
