I was watching videos about the ds for nostalgia and the agorithm recomended me your video. Im so glad it did because it was amazingly made and brought me back to when I was little pictochatting with my cousins. Ourside of kid pc games on my dad's computer, the ds is what go me into videogames.
Next month will be 20th anniversary for THE NINTENDO DS
I’m 17 years old
I'm 24, and I find this illegal
Honestly, in my humble opinion the DS was the greatest console of all time. Its graphics were amazing for the time (at least until the psp came around) and it had some of the best first and third party support of any Nintendo console. Pictochat was a blast at school and DS download play is to this day my favorite thing Nintendo has EVER done.
PS congrats on 40k :)
I grew up in the DS era of gaming: the graphics, even then, were definitely not amazing.
I love the DS and agree with pretty much everything else you said here, but Nintendo during this era (and still are in the Switch era)were purposely using outdated hardware in their consoles in exchange for a lower retail cost.
DS is very nostalgic to me but I have to admit that the 3DS blows it out of the water
@@jeddysteve8330 I'm sorry, but the graphics were definitely amazing for the time. For it to be a handheld console with that quality AND have an extra touchscreen definitely meant something.
@@mikaelpa The touch screen was a massive component to the NDS' success, but related to how it was graphically is a bit irrelevant.
The DS came out within a month of the PSP (DS earliest release: November 21, 2004; PSP earliest release: December 12, 2004), meaning they're perfect to compare in terms of specs and what was available.
The NDS uses a 67MHz ARM9 processor, 4MB of RAM and a couple 3d and 2d graphic cores. The PSP model that came out in 2004 uses two 333MHz MIPS R4000 processors, 32MB of RAM, and a proper GPU clocked at 166MHz.
To support both consoles, the PSP runs off an 1800mAh battery and the DS runs off an 850mAh battery.
To summarize what those numbers mean outside of just number higher=better: the DS is basically a worse battery powered N64, whereas the PSP was a worse battery powered ps2.
Considering they were both releasing only a month apart with a drastic power difference, it's pretty easy to say the DS was underpowered even at that time.
Mario Party DS is hands down the best Mario Party game I've ever personally played, and the other staple titles are phenomenal as well. I don't think there was a single outright bad Pokémon game released on the console, with memories especially going to the second generation of Mystery Dungeon games.
I sadly never figured out how the whole WiFi thing worked during the console's hayday. I was a kid who, while using the internet to play flash games and club penguin and whatnot, didn't really know what WiFi was other than "the internet". It would've been fun to experience all of the WiFi features in the games that I played while I could, but I at least got to experience full tables of Mario Kart, Mario Party, and several friends with Pokémon games
3:55 was that the bite of 87!!! 😮
love your series and enthusiasm, thanks for posting, lots of nostalgia hearing about nintendo
The first and only console i ever owned. So many fun memories and great evenings spend with it. I still own it and every three months something makes me start it to just be nostalgic.
I miss my Nintendo ds lite it was red/black my brother in law bought it as an early birthday present when i turned 22 i loved it so much had it for 8 yeaes then the gba port stopped reading gba carts i gave it to a best friend of mind before i moved away she died 2 years later but the games i played the most were chrono trigger ds,super mario ds,space invaders remixed and reloaded,pokemon black my brother in law eventually bought himself 1 and got us both r4 carts for games we coukdnt find or were pricey now i own a switch lite and oled and want an R4 for switch bought in the usa but they havent realeased yet though.
Greatest device/console ever. Online connectivity in 2005, the most formidable battery ever created by man, revolutionize touch screen, GBA slot, etc. you literally can’t beat this.
I never had a DS, only a 2DS and DSi but i heard the battery was not great in terms of not lasting too many years
@@somebodyoncerolledme7211 I have a ds lite with the original battery, I go over a week without charging and play a good bit each day. My 3ds is 10 years old and the battery is so fried it dies after 25 minutes.
I couldn’t agree more, Mario Party DS is a MASTERPIECE!!! Great job👍 on the video by the way.
The DS was sort of like in between the PS1 and N64 in terms of visuals, but it was nice to play games like Mario Kart now with polygons on the go. There was a lot of hype for the DS and it outsold the PSP because of the games and the price. The PSP was also in between Dreamcast and PS2 and it was also a revolutionary handheld.
Ds is the best handheld console by far, i bet if they released a new ds in 2024 it'd sell amazing. W vid
They are it's called the switch 2
I love my crimson ds lite it can play the best gba games and ds games
I’m begging you, get this guy to 100k subs extremely underrated channel
Congrats on 40k!!!!!!
Psp and xbox 360 ain't got shit on nintendo ds.
As someone who had a ds during childhood, the PSP is still goated
I’ve never had an Xbox or PlayStation but I have a DS and I can agree
@@bluehoodie0205 average nintendo fan
my childhood
Nintendo DS is very criminally underrated.
I actually liked the design of the original DS, it fit far better into my hands than the DS Lite and the GBA cartridges didn't stick out annoyingly.
40k!!!!!! 40k!!!!!! OMG
The DS is fabulous!
Do the 3DS PLEASE
40k!
The ds is the best handheld console to me and probably for many others too.
Nothing beats a Nintendo ds
2:26 Bro thought their handheld was god 💀
I hope one day Nintendo would go back to making handhelds
I see it difficult due to the switch being an hybrid of an handheld and a console
@@symonortega well i'll make one someday!
Ayyy some good vids
