    I had a super mario bros cartridge that was BLACK and was for Nintendo DS, Dsi or I don’t know the rest of possibilities. When I tried to insert it into my 3ds, I could launch it but I got a error. I don’t remember what it said. Also, the cartridge was dirty, so I occasionally get a error (Inserted into a DS/DSi).

      Well it is kind of obvious. You don't want to make a game for a specific handheld when you could make even more sales with just a few less lines of code. There were however, some DSi enhanced titles. Games that work for both but have some extra features on the DSi. Being able to use the camera on the XTransceiver on Pokemon BW2, better performance on Sonic Classic Collections, etc. Thankfully, these were only minor additions and you could still enjoy the games to their fullest even with a normal DS.
      Edit: Oh this covered in the video haha. Eh, just gonna keep this for archiving.

    • @MYCRAFTisbest
      @MYCRAFTisbest 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The 3DS is compatible with DSIware titles and they can be bought from the eshop on the 3DS.
      You can tell when it's a DSi game because it will appear in a white rectangle on the top instead of having a proper 3D model when selected and will run like a DS game, not using the full area of the top screen.
      As far as I'm aware, it was only released as a DSi title, it just happens to also run on the 3DS.

    Another thing to note with the DSi enhanced games like Pokemon Black/White: The DSi had better internet capabilities compared to the original DS. If you wanted to use WiFi that used security, it had to be WEP on the original DS. Over on the DSi, more WiFi security formats were supported like WPA-2 and enhanced cartridges could use these WiFi features. This was amazing to child me because it finally meant I could play online.

      @@emptyspotlight Korg DS10plus, while not a game but a music creation software, is a DSi enhanced version with some bug fixes from it's previous release, Korg DS10. It takes advantage of the DSi's enhanced hardware over the DS/DSLite and allows loading 2 saved songs simultaneously for some interesting mixing. It's functional in all DS family handhelds, but best in a DSi or 3DS for the enhanced mode.

      If you like Skannerz you may also like Barcode Battler. It was much older toy with similar idea. But it was more difficult to use because you had to cut the barcode off and glue it to a piece of cardboard or paper to be able to scan it. Many Barcode Battler fans used to ruin plenty of things at their homes because they cut the barcodes off everything. :D

    Holy crap, I remember back in like 2009/2010, I was talking with my dad and one of my uncles and for whatever reason we were talking about DSi games and I remember being told that they did exist and that they were white cartridges, but because I was 6 and had never actually seen one, I never knew if they were actually real and eventually concluded that they didn’t actually exist. Thank you for putting this 8 year old mystery to me to rest!

    This made me remember when I was little and begged for a DSi. My main reasoning behind it was that I had this iCarly game that was just a bunch of minigames, and there were one or two minigames that needed a camera. It was so compelling to me because it felt like it was there, taunting me, begging me to play on a DSi. I did get one eventually, and the minigame(s) ended up being significantly worse than the others (and for an iCarly ds game, how good could the rest have been?), but I still loved that system to death anyways. What a trip down memory lane!

With DSi enhanced games, on the DSi you could also use WPA and WPA2 encryption. :) ....... But as always: GREAT video, I only knew about one of these five games!

    I have met people who have said that they have a game card that "won't fully work on a DS Lite or original DS" because they used Wi-Fi for multiplayer, I guess they thought that the DSi added Wi-Fi, while the DS has always had Wi-Fi

    • @CiromBreeze
      @CiromBreeze 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Yup. The original DS only supports WEP security, which isn't that secure at all and kind of easy to break into. The DSi, however, supported WPA2 (far more secure). However, older DS games expected to use the older connection system, so even if you had DSi on a WPA2 connection, you wouldn't be able to play Mario Kart online.

      David Cinciruk they should made the games with extra graphic features only available for the dsi, but compatible with the ds, like some n64 games that would play without the expansion pack but compatible with it for enhanced graphics.

    • @philipcorner574

      The DSi really had no extra graphical features to speak of, iirc. I think it had some minor improvements to graphic bus speed as part of it's redesign, but differences were practically zero.

    also the game was fun sometimes but gets annoying when you can’t level up and can’t have new creatures in your team cause of that to help with tournaments that you haven’t completed to get leveled up cause you don’t level up if going on previous battles only ones u haven’t completed helps level you up which was annoying

  • @rexthesheep
    @rexthesheep 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    These are the only exclusive titles I'm aware of, but there are a TON of DSi enhanced titles, like at least 30. Most aren't notable titles, but Pokémon BW/BW2, Pokémon Conquest, and Solatorobo are among them.
    And yeah, they're region locked too, but on the plus side when played on a DSi/3DS they support WPA for WiFi rather than just WEP. Y'know, when that mattered.
    This might be a little known fact, but Pokémon Black & White and it's sequels actually run a lot smoother on DSi/3DS than on DS. The game slows down frequently in both battles and in the overworld on DS, but that's mostly cleaned up on DSi/3DS. It's a shame the 3DS Pokémon games didn't do the same with New 3DS (to my knowledge).

    • @pokepress
      @pokepress 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      sheepytina Actually, I think it’s pretty well documented that the frame rate in Sun/Moon/US/UM is somewhat better on the New 3DS models. Pokemon BW might have been easier to notice since the 3DS came out in NA a few weeks later, and some folks skipped the DSi sub-generation and were probably still working through the games, thus they were exposed to both experiences.

    • @rexthesheep
