I actually really liked the extremely pixel style the game had
Yeah, it was like it was on an snes.
And btw that’s not bad.
yeah me too
same
yeah, it being pixel art just, gave it, "it" you know?
Im thinking the same thing its truly a amazing and charming style it was my first version and time playing the original pvz
I've always thought this game's artstyle is kind of adorable, even if it is basically just a demake.
Yeah what is the most impressive part is how they keep it close to original while demake it a few bits that it is still playable. What is more impressive is that it somehow beats the butchered EA PvZ due to how it is very close to the original
@@gaming1zanagi-1999 I still feel like PVZ Garden Warfare 2 and the comics were fhs peak of the series
@@gaming1zanagi-1999 originally it was designed for the DS
@@gaming1zanagi-1999 some plants were definitely just downscaled images with some retouching but I still love the sprites. It inspired me to start making all the pvz 2 plants in pixel art following the pvz DS limitations
@@eggsnham. ye
I have so many memories of playing this on the DS.

Fun fact: Heat Wave replacing Big Trouble Little Zombie was a result of an interesting limitation. PopCap felt that BTLZ would not work on the DS's screen, which only has a resolution of 256x192 pixels. Didn't stop them from including the original minigame on the iPhone, which only had a resolution of 480x320.
In all fairness, a 320p screen is a lot more pixels to work with. If you were to shrink the zombies in the DS mode even further, you'd only have like, 40-50 pixels max per zombie, meaning you'd likely have a lot of trouble distinguishing between them, especially if you were actually holding your DS 2 feet away from your face (which let's be real, nobody did)
The zombies would've look like a crap pixelated image.
It might look really compressed on the surface, but when you actually get in and play it, it's certainly PVZ on a handheld. And actually my favorite version of the game
yeah it's very playable and i much prefer heat wave to big trouble little zombie
Same I prefer the ds version
AGREED! Especially because of the shitty quality the original mobile game has now that ea has decided to ruin everything 💔
I had a copy of this and I seriously dont remember it looking SO BAD. I will say the booklet in the case was like doodled in by the zombies and it had a very nice cardboard sleeve when I first got it. It was actually crazy fun without knowing there was an even better version!
i played the pc version first, but even then i fell in love with the ds version back then, idk why exactly lol
in fact, i think the game itself actually looks so bad in this video specifically because it is screen recorded, and you aren’t seeing it on the actual ds screen, if you look at footage where someone is recording footage from the ds screen, it actually doesnt even really look pixely at all, but the screen recording totally butchers the graphics by showing all of the individual pixels because you aren’t meant to see it like that.
what do you mean it looks bad? it's literally pixel art, it's beautiful
I honestly love this version's graphics the most. I dont know why but the pixels are just so charming to me
i agree it worked well with the sound fx too imo
The sprite work stuck with me longer than the tweened and manipulated pngs of the original version. I think it’s wonderful, it’s the version I grew up with when I was a kid.
I had this version and loved it! Its sprites and music demakes are charming, and the bonus content and challenges made it very replayable!
If you put the DS cartridge of PvZ into a 3ds, the game and its graphics are significantly updated.
I have a 3ds so yeah it doesn’t look so bad but honestly I kinda prefer the pixels
eh, it still looks the same
@@blabbilizer :o cattail fan!
@@IansProductions Cattail the goat. no cap./
No, the graphics are just smoothened over, it's not an update, it's just resolution scaling
A video about PvZ on the ds was inevitable, And it is one of your best videos. I enjoy the shorter video aspect alot, I would like to see it more in the future.

@@toxic_shr00m Are YOU joking or does your brain not function? I think it was pretty obvious I was joking.
This version is so nostalgic to me
i love its crispyness on the sprites and music
This version was what I grew up playing. I remember replaying it so much
You can still get the DSI ware one on 3DS, I have both copies and the normal DS one is better in my opinion. Also I grew up with it
The DS version holds a special place in my heart because I remember beating Zomboss on it for the first time
The DS game was my first exposure to PvZ and it was glorious
I’ve wasted hundreds of hours of my childhood playing PVZ on my DSi
If you loved it it was never a waste
You mean the best version of PvZ?
Not biased
I can barely recall a random place online saying that the creator of Plants vs Zombies, George Fan, apparently had the idea for a DS port for a good while. So maybe that’s one of the reasons this port exists.
One of the only few instances of the DS version being harder that I noticed is that the Jack in the box Zombies explode in a different way. Resulting in needing to change strategies just a bit.
2 of the 3 new mini-games for it are pretty fun, minus the weird mic feature on one of them. I weirdly have a tough time with Homerun Derby. It’s like the game has a tough time telling if I’m swiping the stylus up or down.
It’s really weird how the online DSi version has a good amount of the features removed. I thought the DSi is supposed to be a bit more powerful than the original DS. Although the exclusive Zombie Trap mini-game in it looks weirdly neat.
I think it might be because the DSi version was a download so it was smaller than the cartridge version.
An instance of it making harder is the Trash Bin Zombies in Survival Fog Normal
I am the one of like 5 people with the DSi version. Loved playing it as a kid. I liked the pixelated style, even knowing what the og looks like.
This game made up half my childhood, I lost it eventually but I bought it just to replay this one in particular due to nostalgia.
I played the DS version of PVZ when i was younger. I wasn't allowed a phone back then and I loved playing this on holidays.
The DS version definitely has more than 2 exclusive mini games, I’m not sure how many but I definitely recall there being a mini game where you use the stylus to hit baseballs thrown at you by the catapult zombie
Yep, and this one mini game where you get nuts, and explosives, and have to deal with zombies with a limited amount of this explosive ammunition.
@@aidanhammans9337 oh yeah the peashooter plane one too
Is it still available in dsiware on the 3ds
@@princesscrystal6410 That’s Air Raid, he showed it in the video at 3:19
I ended up getting this DS port in a jumble of games recently and picked it up out of curiosity. Somewhat of a downgrade to the classic version, but overall I find the chunky graphics to be quite cute, and there’s some very charming extras thrown in from what I’ve seen. If you click on the “help” option on the main menu, you get an amusing note from the zombies :3
forget the video, that brainiac maniac pvz 1 music gave me goosebumps, i have never been more nostalgiac
No matter how unneeded this port was, it was my first ever experience with Plants vs. Zombies and I grew up playing this version of the game. It holds such a special place in my heart, and you have to give Popcap credit; they included just about every single aspect of the original, in addition to the DS exclusive mini games which are both fantastic and fun to play. I also really enjoyed the pixel artstyle and "pixelated" music tracks. Gives more variety and makes the DS version stand out from the crowd. Lastly, I love the custom seed packet art and top screen "level progress" feature, it was such a nice touch.
This was my introduction into the series. I didn’t have a PC that wasn’t a relic, and i didn’t have an iPhone or whatever. Many great memories, beating Dr. Zomboss for the first time was an unforgettable experience.
I played PvZ on XBLA first and I have also played this version, I really enjoyed both versions!
I remember the ds version being harder because the football zombies and the ladder zombies not only moving faster, but eating faster as well. It might just be me last playing it like 8 years ago though.
Funnily enough ; I remember this beign easier lol. I somehow managed to beat the DS port before the PC port.
I really love how he mentions 2 of my most favorite franchises of games (DOOM and PvZ)
Here's some notable differences to gameplay between the DS game and the original:
Only 9 seed slots (as mentioned in the video). This is likely because a 10th slot wouldn't fit on the small touchscreen.
Cob cannons are severely nerfed; they take about 15 seconds to shoot and explode rather than about 2 seconds on other platforms.
Cattails are very buggy and their spikes often miss the zombie they're targeting. This makes blovers pretty much essential in this version.
Your progress doesn't get saved mid-level in this version. This means when you're playing Survival Endless you have to keep your DS running or you'll lose all your progress.
The game crashes whenever there are too many zombies on screen making Survival Endless pretty much impossible anyway.
That being said I always loved the artstyle of this game and the fact that it's even on the DS in the first place.
I remember getting this game on DS for my 8th birthday, (I was never allowed on a phone nor computer as a kid, so this was revolutionary for me) and ever since, I’ve been sucked into the PvZ fandom with no way out.
I don’t care if it’s a pixelated demake, it still holds a place in my nostalgic heart
The dsi version was the version of the game I first played. I was pretty young and didn't have a phone or know how to get it on pc. I loved it, and eventually picked up the original ds version from a store. I had even more fun there, actually having the puzzle and vs modes
So many memories playing the DSi version but what makes it sad is that the day I got it on my DSi I saw the DS version while I was getting my DSi points card. At that time I thought it had all the same things. I did end up getting the PS3 Version though
Knowing that EA probably didn't know about the ds console games or just straight up abandoned it makes me feel actually alone and disconnected from the ds versions of pvz,knowing that it will never be updated and will keep collecting dust over the years
Such a tragic way to end a great game franchise
I grew up on the ds version and it was one of my favorite games for that system.
I've played most versions and by far my favourite is the DS version, followed by the Xbox360 version. The DS version just has a charm to it. The pixels just work, the music fits. I just really really love it
the pixel art is very charming, imo
This was my first version of pvz. I just love to see other people talk about it. My cousin first showed it to me when I was a kid. She bragged that she had beaten the game four times, after which the entire game progress was apparently reverted/deleted. Other weird things is that since the edition can't have so many zombies on it, normal survival endless strats don't work the same, and you have to play it all in one go anyhow. I've also had a ton of weird glitches, including one where a gargantuar was cut in two Darth Maul style. There was even an unused texture of its spine when the bug happened, which was cool to see. Essentially, I love this version of the game.
I had this as a kid and still do now
I think I'd love a complete PC version featuring the content from all its different versions.
This is the version that introduced me to the game.
i was part of that rare niche of DSIware players, i didnt have a phone, PC, or physical copy to play as a kid. ive always seen my cousin play PvZ on his PC so it was cool to have my own version, as limited as it was i still loved it
even though its a downgrade its how i played it and still one of my favorite ds games, i really like the demake art style
it may be nostalga speaking, as this was my first exposure to pvz (3ds ds store version) i still like going back to it, as i im a sucker for pixel art and chiptune music. suprised he didnt talk about the multiplayer vs mode it had, similar to xbox360 (only time i remember it is me and my buddy in 4th grade areguing over who got to be zombies, then recess ended.
This was actually the first game I got for my Dsi and it holds meaning to me because my Older Brother and Sister got it for me
The DS is the only version of PvZ I currently own. Before that I played it on my mom's computer, but I don't know what happened to that.
PvZ on the Nintendo DS was that first time I had ever played PvZ and I loved it.
Funny thing is, I play PvZ almost exclusively on DS, even to the point of getting emulators on my phone. No ads, just nostalgia from childhood. Also had no idea that could get 10 seed slots on other platforms
As a person who’s first game was the ds version of pvz, man it was fun.
Dude I played so much of the DS game's multiplayer with a friend and lost every time but it was fun
The music in this version is better than the original imo
The sound fonts make everything more... Funky
This was how I first experienced the game, and it was a lot of fun. Also, I like the use of MediEvil's music in the intro.
That baseball minigame and the flying minigame are the best minigames, specially since they made good use of the touch screen, and hey, we even got baseball zombies
I remember getting this game for Christmas and beating it in like a day or two.
I was a total PvZ nut at the time, having sunk hundreds of hours into the Xbox 360 port.
It was really fun to have it on the go back then.
you forgot about the Homerun Derby game mode, which takes full advantage of the Stylus and is exclusive to the DS
well you get a sub for covering the exsistance of this game since this was the one I played as a kid also you forgot a few features some being the fact that the custom zombie creator doesn't do anything besides let you create a wacky zombie and has less customization features.
also its crazy seeing some of these things that I never noticed. either way still my favorite version
Underrated TH-camr.
this was one of my first DS games
Popcap spent years working on the 3ds its so cool how much work there put into the 3ds version
This was how I fell in love with PVZ. Thee port was really awesome!!! Kids like me had a DS and a Wii in the house, no Xbox or Iphone yknow?
Man, you summoned every PVZ fan, and every PVZ fan likes this demake, but i mean, it was necessary, who had a cell phone in 2009?, my uncle maybe fr he had the drip 😎💀
This was my first pvz game and i spent a lot of time on it. I never did survival but I did do every minigame and beat the game twice. It ended up making me a huge pvz fan and finally discovering non-ds pvz games
Honestly the fact that the wave progression was on the top screen and was mostly otherwise occupied by the Zombies, Crows or Zomboss added some really nice depth to the game since those shots weren't from a top down perspective
I used to play this version all of the time as a kid. And I think the difficulty being harder on DS might actually be true though even if it is just by a small amount. (It could also just be me being better at the game by the time I got it on pc.)
The 9 vs 10 seed slots did kinda suck though because at the time I looked up youtube guides for the roof levels i had trouble with on the second playthrough where dave chooses 2 plants for you and they all used one more plant than I was allowed.
Excuse me, the DS version has a fantastic VS mode, and I believe is the only portable VS mode. It also has unique minigames like Air Rally, Heat Wave (mentioned), Homerun Derby, and BOMB All Together.
Yes I'm a PVZ DS fan. I have 26/38 sprout plants in my Zen Garden on DS, and am quite proud of that.
I owned the dsi ware version just to see the ds version has more content, midis are still really good
This game was my first experience with PvZ! I love it so much and I still have all the crunchy ds sounds embedded in to my mind, it's just so charming
Wow i never heard of the zombie trap minigame thats so cool i still learned something new from this
I have a lot of memeories of the DS version cuz that is how I originally beaten the game back in the day. I even remember always bringing the game to school and playing VS mode with people on the bus and at lunch with download play
I remember this game!! I loved the pixel style!! ^^
PvZ DS is actually the only time i’ve played the original PvZ
Fun fact: air raid and sunny day are in pc/og version but they are not same
Air raid in pc: the invasion of baloon Zombies
Sunny day in pc: BIG SUN
So there ds versión are diffrent than there orignal ones
Since the orignal version of this minigames were scrapped and got in the limbo page
If it weren't for the DSi version, I probably would've have heard of PvZ for a long time. In fact, I didn't know it was on mobile until middle school
I actually grew up with this version. I remember there was a glitch where the imatator version of torch wood had inverted colors instead of grayscale colors, and I thought it was cool.
I remember playing the DS Port for the first time being so shocked when I saw Endless Mode. I felt so bad for the developers and was even more surprised when I reached day 10 without my DS spontaneously combusting.
yea but does the mobile version have theres a zombie on your lawn? didnt think so
The DS version is actually a lot different from the mobile version. The DS version has basically everything the PC version does except 10 seed slots. While the phone version doesn’t have survival mode
I recently bought this after finding out about the multiplayer, plants vs zombies multiplayer is some for the best stuff ever invented
I first played PvZ on DS when it released since I had a DS and found a copy on the ground after by chance one day and played it every single day until my sister broke the DS. I forgot about it till 2016 when I had my own phone and was there for the release of PvZ Heroes which since I had my own phone to Google stuff looked up the first game and replayed it on both console/mobile so that's how I assumed it look since it had been so many years since I saw the DS version.
I didn't know how low quality it actually was till I saw this which is insane to think just playing the more polished versions made me remember the game as being higher quality
playing with the homies on this was sick
I grew up on this port/game. It's great.
I really hope i still have my copy of this somewhere, this was the version i first grew up with
I grew up with the smooth mobile port of pvz but dang is the pixel art and the music of the day port are, it's almost like pvz was destined to be a 16 bit styled game but ended up the way it it
OMGGG THE SHOOTER MINIGAME UGHHH IT WAS SO DIFFICULT FOR ME
i also played the hell out of the 3ds ver all of the time at school
This is how I was introduced to this franchise. Even if it was a demake, I still loved it.
I think they did this not just because of the install base, and also the fact that they realized that the stylus would work perfectly.
This is unironically my favorite version of this game
This is how I played the game myself. Amazing port, ran excelently.
I actually have the dsiware version ported onto my 2ds
I didn't realize at first the lack of content until I got it, didn't have a phone at the time so it was all that I had
So now I have both versions of the game xD
I grew up with this game man I thank god every day they ported pvz to the ds. I tried pvz on my cousins computer but i didn't have one as a kid (i was like 10) so the ds was my only option. And man i probably sunk like 100 hours into that airplane minigame alone lol.
Pvz for ds was my first experiance of pvz. I dident even know it was on computor for years.
Thank you for this video. I recently bought a copy of this game to play on my 2DSXL and was surprised at how crappy it was (graphics, performance, etc). Now I realize that it was released over a decade ago for the original DS. Wasn't worth the $15 I paid for it, but I'll probably finish it anyway 😅
PVZ for the ds was the first game I’ve ever beaten, hell I was trying to 100% complete it, but then my grandparents dog chewed up the cartridge :(
the fog in this version is way too easy to see through, making the lamp plant almost useless
Kind of crazy to think how quickly technology changes. When this came out just a year ago the only way to play doom eternal on a handheld was a switch remake. Really don't appreciate my deck enough
Everyone says on roof levels you have to put pea shooters starting on the 5th column. It still shoots unobstructed just fine from the 4th. Source: my 2009 DSI
I remember me mom bought this and super Mario 64 ds when I had got my first dsi, I remember I would spend literal HOURS playing this, it was difficult as a kid, but i was always trying to figure out how to beat a level in a better way than the last
Plants vs zombies DS was my excuse to get a 3DS that I still have
This was my introduction to pvz3 and me, my brother, my sister and two of my cousins spent hours trying to beat it, good times
