"Beyblade" is a spinning top game where players launch customizable spinning tops into a small dish and, through the power of physics, battle it out. The peripheral you're probably referring to is the "Beypoint Reader"; a little adapter that was released with the first Metal Fight Beyblade DS game. The Beypoint Reader allowed you to connect a Beypointer to the DS, and transfer points to it. The "Beypointer" was a little device that attached to a launcher that would reward points to whoever won a battle and act as sort of a ranking system. The Beypointer could also be used to connect to "Bey Ta" arcade machines to play for a chance to win an exclusive Beyblade Top(Quetzalcoatl 90WF for Bey Ta 1, and Mercury Anubis 85XF for Bey Ta 2).
Nintendo pretty much _is_ that weird company making weird gaming peripherals, but they build these weird peripherals into the consoles themselves because they can do that.
You know you're playing Decades when it's not designed for fast, aggressive songs and then that game drops the Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal on you as a bonus.
@@peytonlong2000 you're welcome! Japanese people were very smart back then and thought that sneaky gaijins will never find out :)) I haven't played it, but I saw the controller that comes with it...I'd love to see somebody playing it with English subtitles or comments :(
Back when I had a Gamecube I played the Donkey Kongas a lot. I'm still somewhat mad that my Ex-GF was the only person I know that could beat DK Jungle Beat beacuse she could play that for hours because she couldn't feel pain in her hands because she extremely burned her hands as a kid.
My parents got me and my brother dsi's for christmas around when they came out, and since we were both into guitar hero at the time, they also got us guitar hero on tour. This was all very nice of them, but they were so confused when my brother and I had to explain to them that we couldn't play the guitar hero game they got us because the dsi got rid of the gba slot.
When iPhone came out for the first few years people were disappointed that they can't play Java (J2ME, technically) games on it.

I still prefer the original DS to the DS Lite. Between how often buttons (primarily L and R) stop working, the small form factor which kind of sucks if you have particularly large hands, and the speakers being far less beefy on the Lite, the old fat DS is my go-to. Not to say the DS Lite doesn't have any advantages, but if I'm going to sit down and play at home, where I don't have to worry about it fitting in my pocket, then I'll go for the big boy every time.
When I saw the title, I expected the Guitar Hero thing along with some DS and GBA carts linking together, but it was even weirder than that. The strangest use of this link that I know of is how Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum will add new wild Pokemon in certain areas based on the GBA Pokemon game in Slot 2, and there's nothing in the game even hinting at this.
Monster rancher for the PS1 had a similar gimmick Switching disk to get new cards So did the Yugioh Tag Force games With a UMD recognition feature,some games give you random cards,some specific ones,and switching the umd with a previous Tag Force game always unlocks some unique cards and even some characters
Ace Attorney of all game series did this too! In Japan, the games came out on GBA first, then DS, and when you had both in the system at the same time, the DS would unlock all the cases for you (the idea being that you had played the originals already), which the exception of Rise from the Ashes, which was a new case for the DS version and thusly would be new to someone who got the originals.

@@googleruinedyoutube which is why I laughed when he said "I'm an old man, I don't know about bayblade." He was probably the demographic when they got big.
The milk bar in my old neighbourhood had these knockoff beyblades with a weighty circular metal piece that outspan every legit beyblade and if you ripped it too fast, it could cut you if you tried to pick it up
There was the rumble cartridge. The extra memory card that only the Opera browser and a few homebrew used. Some games including Pokemon used the slot 2 to access data on actual GBA cartridges. There are still some things to show. But I'm glad that the Video tried to show some obscure uses of slot 2
Beyblade ➡️ customizable spinning tops from an anime with many seasons. The most recent ones have tips with shock absorption, bearings, metallic tips... That you can mix and match with middle and upper parts with more gimmicks to attack and defend yourself in battle. Make your opponent stop spinning, knock it out the stadium or make it dismantle in battle (they have a spring lock inside that holds everything together) to win. Source: my channel is about that
A bunch of GBA slot DS accessories are stuff that came to the DS family later in life. A camera for the dsi, a pedometer for the 3DS, a piano keyboard for the Switch (with labo)... I guess the Switch ain’t part of the DS family. Except the guitar hero tab and the taito paddle.
I realize this series doesn't really touch on non-authorized hardware, but I was really impressed at some of the devices the pirate community came up with. Like a Slot 2 cart that was simultaneously a GBA flashcart, a RAM expansion (for the browser), and a rumble pack. It was the perfect all-in-one device.
One thing I can think of, is the pal park in pokemon, where you could transfer pokemon from gen 3 to gen 4, by putting the gen 3 game into the gba slot, and the gen 4 game into the ds slot. (I still can't figure out how they pulled that off, lol. It's so awesome!)
When I upgraded to the DSi, I had no choice when it came to getting rid of my DS lite. My DS had its hinge falling off for months prior to me getting my DSi. I haven't bought another DS light since then, though I think about it every once in a while.
Beyblades are combat dreydals/tops. Each player launches their top and the last one left spinning wins. In the show there were Yugioh esque spirits inside each thing and the characters yelled at the things and they did stuff.
@@SonofSethoitae Not sure if it's originated from China or Japan (or maybe Korea) but the Chinese one usually is made with wood and spin by constantly whipping.
When this was first teased I thought it was going to be about DS games that use the GBA slot, had no idea there were this many weird things you could shove in that hole.
I remember two wonderful uses i had for this thing besides getting to play my GBA games on the DS (though I always liked my SP more for that with its longer battery life, cheaper (At the time) device and lighter weight). Being able to transfer pokémon from generation 3 to 4. And unlocking the Mithril Sword for Final Fantasy Tactics A2 when the first Advanced game was in the GBA slot.
So bare with me. Megaman Battle Network, I know people have VERY mixed feelings about the series, but they did something really cool with the DS remake of the 5th game. Not only was that basically a super cart that let you play both versions and get some extra goodies if you dug around for them, but it also had a special feature if you still had the past games laying around. Basically, depending on what BN game is stuck into the GBA slot, certain bonuses happen. Most commonly you change the background music to music from that game. But, and this is a big one, if you have an older version of 5 in the GBA slot, you can actually import your old chip decks to fill out your library or give yourself access to super powerful chip decks early on! So maybe not as weird as some of the stuff in the video, but still way more back for your buck than anyone could've expected from a DS remake for a niche audience.
The real cool part of Guitar Hero was that all versions were compatible for multiplayer. My wife and I had the first two games and we could play together with each one.
3:35 just a quick tip Derek (coming from a man with ogre hands) just put your thumb in the strap, it makes a huge difference, although i still play guitar hero/band hero games on everything
The GBA slot was a really neat thing, yes. I really enjoyed having e.g. Pokémon Ruby or the GBA port of A Link To The Past slotted in there and interrupting my session of those games with a few rounds of Tetris DS. I didn't know about most of these peripherals though, only the Guitar Hero one.
Related: GUITAR HERO ON TOUR was my very first ds game on my very first ds system, the guitar hero one. Unrelated: I found out today that the switch has a feature where it vibrates your controllers if you lose it. 100% useful.

Face Training wasn't a downloadable game on the DSi, it was a cartridge game that only worked on the DSi, DSi XL and all 3DS models. The box included a card stand for your system, similar to the one WII Fit U came with for the GamePad.
I like this video. But seriously reconsider removing NordVPN as your sponsor. Talk about compromising all your internet traffic. And then just doubling down on more ads instead of addressing the problem and admitting it was a mistake. They seemingly show no awareness or learning from their mistakes. Avoid like cancer.
One of the cool things I had for my DS was the Maxx Media Player, an MP3 player for my DS that used a 4 gig drive that plugged into the GBA port and could be connected to a computer via mini-usb. It was my MP3 player throughout highschool. l remember always getting weird looks from kids when they would pull out their ipod to connect the AUX cord to, and then I pull out my DS. The cool thing was it could also do home brew, and the instruction manual told you about a website to find homebrew on.
I can’t watch this right now but it is EXTREMELY my shit so I’m definitely gonna watch it later. Ilu. here’s a comment and a like for that good good discoverability!
Beyblade (bay-blayd) Noun (Singular) A kind of metal spinning top powered by a small, mechanically operated motor that has a penchant for injuring the faces of small children.
I was watching this whole video to see if you were going to cover my favorite Slot 2 peripheral... which you did (kinda), with the optical mouse Slide Adventure Magkid peripheral. You definitely owe it to yourself to pick this up because it offers a unique - and pretty good - gameplay experience.
"I'm an old man, I don't even know what Bayblade is." About an anime, and toyline from the old man generation. It's a toy/anime series about customizable tops that you fight with. Never played with them myself, but they were all over tv back then x-x.
"What is Beyblade?" It's a TOP, Derek. Just a plastic silly top. Nothing more than a stupid top. And not even good ones. The ones i used to play, made of wood and nails, were much better.
@@2KDrop Not the point What i'm wondering is if i somehow got "bootleg" bleyblades that for some reason were of higher quality than the official ones Also hard for them not to wear down,they are tops,and most kids used to make two clash together to mimic the anime fights
6:06 - Face Training for the DSi released in PAL regions as a physical release :) I'm not 100% certain, but I do think it was the only DSi exclusive software to hit Europe.
Speaking card scanners, there’s also another game that does it called MushiKing. It’s a home port of the arcade entry for the Sega Naomi. You basically choose a bug and pick 3 of its special moves to start the game. And as for the gameplay, it’s basically rock, paper, and scissors combined with epic insect battles. And fun fact, it’s been put into Kiwami as a minigame, but the insects are replaced with gals dressed as insects for fanservices. Anyway, back to MushiKing on DS, what’s neat about it is the fact that it’s an arcade entry you can play on the go or at home, and the fact you can collect cards and build a good setup for your beetle. Oh and also, if you don’t have any cards, the game will give you the option to randomly pick a beetle and move set. Anyway, I find this really enjoyable, but boy, it’s gonna be hard to find and search cards for the DS port. But hey, I highly recommend getting it.
My parents specifically didn't trade in my old DS _because_ of the slot 2 phase-out. At the time, my GBA SP was still inside the couch apparently (it would take years to find that one out) which made the DS my only way to play GBA games.
Best Guitar Hero experience on the DS is playing the Roadie Battle mode in GH5 for Wii. I have very fond memories of playing it for hours with a group of friends, taking turns being the roadie and the guitarist.
I never bought a DSi, lol. I own a DS Lite and a flash cart that my ex bought me for my birthday in 2008. I still own it, and it's in my closet. That thing must have gotten me through so many troubled times. When the 3DS started working with old flash carts a few years ago, I tried my old flash cart in my 3DS, and when it actually worked, what a nostalgia rush!
Even though it's the most mundane of the bunch, I'm really surprised no even mention of the Rumble Pak. Came with Metroid Prime Pinball but a handful of others used it.
I was one of those people that got the Guitar Hero DS Game. I got the Decades version tho. It was a great price too, it was like 10$ at Khols [who would think that Khols would stock video games], years after it released and players were just fatigued of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band phase. That fact that it came with a Guitar Pick as a stylus was really cool too!

I hear "face training" I expect to have a six-pack etched into my forehead lol.
Face Training wasn't a downloadable game on the DSi, it was a cartridge game that only worked on the DSi, DSi XL and all 3DS models. The box included a card stand for your system, similar to the one WII Fit U came with for the GamePad.
:'( I genuinely miss the cool lil intro... bring him back,, derek...
Whenever I see my old gba games and the nostalgia kicks in
Me on my ds system: Come here you little Slot!!!
I like this video. But seriously reconsider removing NordVPN as your sponsor. Talk about compromising all your internet traffic. And then just doubling down on more ads instead of addressing the problem and admitting it was a mistake. They seemingly show no awareness or learning from their mistakes. Avoid like cancer.
One of the cool things I had for my DS was the Maxx Media Player, an MP3 player for my DS that used a 4 gig drive that plugged into the GBA port and could be connected to a computer via mini-usb. It was my MP3 player throughout highschool. l remember always getting weird looks from kids when they would pull out their ipod to connect the AUX cord to, and then I pull out my DS. The cool thing was it could also do home brew, and the instruction manual told you about a website to find homebrew on.
I can’t watch this right now but it is EXTREMELY my shit so I’m definitely gonna watch it later. Ilu. here’s a comment and a like for that good good discoverability!
Beyblade (bay-blayd)
Noun (Singular)
A kind of metal spinning top powered by a small, mechanically operated motor that has a penchant for injuring the faces of small children.
Yeah, Grace, stop slot-shaming the DS! Shame on you.
7:29 and Pat goes crazy, getting flashbacks of Matt talking about Face/Off all the time.
Someone should hack that piano thing to work with a tracker software.
I was watching this whole video to see if you were going to cover my favorite Slot 2 peripheral... which you did (kinda), with the optical mouse Slide Adventure Magkid peripheral. You definitely owe it to yourself to pick this up because it offers a unique - and pretty good - gameplay experience.

Couldn’t play Let It Be
"I'm an old man, I don't even know what Bayblade is." About an anime, and toyline from the old man generation. It's a toy/anime series about customizable tops that you fight with. Never played with them myself, but they were all over tv back then x-x.
Saw notification, IMMEDIATELY clicked. Thanks D.
That kanji dictionary saved my life in japanese class in college!
Slot shaming
*W H E E Z E*
WHEEZE*
Oh my God Grace at 0:06 she bout lost it lol
"What is Beyblade?" It's a TOP, Derek. Just a plastic silly top. Nothing more than a stupid top. And not even good ones. The ones i used to play, made of wood and nails, were much better.
Plastic?
I remember having five Bleyblades,all metallic ones
Seto Kaiba you could even get metal toys that don't wear down nearly as much.
@@2KDrop Not the point
What i'm wondering is if i somehow got "bootleg" bleyblades that for some reason were of higher quality than the official ones
Also hard for them not to wear down,they are tops,and most kids used to make two clash together to mimic the anime fights
@@KaibaSeto. No, there were officially licensed metallic ones. They started around 08-09
I love Grace, her reactions to your slot puns where fantastic.
6:06 - Face Training for the DSi released in PAL regions as a physical release :)
I'm not 100% certain, but I do think it was the only DSi exclusive software to hit Europe.
"And If You Want More Slot Action..."
Oh my god lol! 😂😂😂
"From C to shining C"
We appreciate your jokes, no matter how much they make us groan.
Speaking card scanners, there’s also another game that does it called MushiKing. It’s a home port of the arcade entry for the Sega Naomi. You basically choose a bug and pick 3 of its special moves to start the game. And as for the gameplay, it’s basically rock, paper, and scissors combined with epic insect battles. And fun fact, it’s been put into Kiwami as a minigame, but the insects are replaced with gals dressed as insects for fanservices. Anyway, back to MushiKing on DS, what’s neat about it is the fact that it’s an arcade entry you can play on the go or at home, and the fact you can collect cards and build a good setup for your beetle. Oh and also, if you don’t have any cards, the game will give you the option to randomly pick a beetle and move set. Anyway, I find this really enjoyable, but boy, it’s gonna be hard to find and search cards for the DS port. But hey, I highly recommend getting it.
This is something i needed several years ago, but finally i have a comprehensive video.
Derek is one of the only people I'm aware of who can make such terrible puns seem so incredibly charming.
My parents specifically didn't trade in my old DS _because_ of the slot 2 phase-out. At the time, my GBA SP was still inside the couch apparently (it would take years to find that one out) which made the DS my only way to play GBA games.
"Beam me up Slotty". I'm down with a video of straight punning.
Best Guitar Hero experience on the DS is playing the Roadie Battle mode in GH5 for Wii. I have very fond memories of playing it for hours with a group of friends, taking turns being the roadie and the guitarist.
"We ain't finished with you girl. We ain't finished with that slot"
"we comin back"
I never bought a DSi, lol. I own a DS Lite and a flash cart that my ex bought me for my birthday in 2008. I still own it, and it's in my closet. That thing must have gotten me through so many troubled times. When the 3DS started working with old flash carts a few years ago, I tried my old flash cart in my 3DS, and when it actually worked, what a nostalgia rush!
Even though it's the most mundane of the bunch, I'm really surprised no even mention of the Rumble Pak. Came with Metroid Prime Pinball but a handful of others used it.
I am so stoked for you guys to cover Boktai/Lunar Knights and Monster Rancher.
I was one of those people that got the Guitar Hero DS Game. I got the Decades version tho. It was a great price too, it was like 10$ at Khols [who would think that Khols would stock video games], years after it released and players were just fatigued of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band phase.
That fact that it came with a Guitar Pick as a stylus was really cool too!
