I bought my kids a DS like 3 years ago and 5 year old son still plays it all the time. They have a switch, they have access to a high end gaming PC, VR, and still every morning my son's asking to play the DS. He is into that game you don't even need to have a cartridge to play, where you take pictures and fight off peoples faces stuck onto aggressive balls. The girls are more into like Subnautica, Goose Game, or Goat Simulator, but my son's over in the corner playing the dark souls of Kirby games, the dying sound playing over and over. You know, the yarn one.
The nice thing with some of these handhelds is they generally are pretty cheap to get ahold of and are easy to take places. Better a DS than an iPad imo. Kirby Superstar Ultra has 2 player for almost every mode on the DS by the way 😀
@@FeelinFlurgyy I agree about the iPad a million times. It does something really profound to children's brains. They like zonk out and don't pay attention to anything going on around them. Not to mention it's hard to supervise a personal face-screen. My kids don't have tablets and they're not allowed to watch YT kids trash. Good animated shows, no problem, but that baby shark cocomelon pregnant elsa trash gets the boot. I'd rather they just play video games if it's not nice outside. I'll get them the Superstar Ultra next. They beat Triple Deluxe, the Robot one, and now he's working through the yarn one.
Coming back to say that this is your fault. I saw a copy of TouchMaster at a retro store and immediately bought it without thinking. Now I am the proud owner of this funny shovelware game.
It’s crazy to remember the era when these types of games were just being en masse dumped in target bargain bins (2000s-early 2010s). Even as a kid I knew these games were kinda cheap. I guess one small positive of the migration from physical media to digital files is that less resources can be spent making DS cartridges that no one will keep around. I feel content knowing the future of shovelware are just niche apps that only get any advertising through those weird YT ads. This was a cool video that popped up in my feed, thank you for making it and I’m anticipating viewing more. PS, you’re definitely a hybrid clone of Saoirse Ronan and Heidi Gardner.
I've been waiting so long for a DS themed episode and honestly this makes me want to start playing random stuff I've never heard of. ESPECIALLY ports of home console games that are nothing like their counterparts
Should have got one of those plate type pop filters big enough to cover your face, and then put googly eyes on it so it looks like a googly eyes pop filter guy wearing a pink beanie is talking.
The more videos i see covering the DS, the more i know i got in at just the right time, mine arrives today, and ive been seeing SOOOO many videos covering it in the last month, i think prices might spike soon
ok so nerd moment, essentially there were these touch screen arcade games in bars and stuff called "touchmasters" with casual games to play before everyone had games on their phone. they were actually VERY popular for a while, and the company that created these machines they decided to port collections of the games to the DS in a last ditch effort once phones became more mainstream.
Something about these games made me sad as a kid. Like I knew they were garbage and I would imagine some parent who doesn't know any better buying them for their kid for full price and just getting absolutely scammed and their kid pretending to like it. Especially with the Wii ones you would see at random places like Walgreens.
You know the DS had a lot of shovelware because you can still find the games at goodwill. Also it’s too early for Christmas trees and music. Black Friday at the earliest unless you are okay with killing the spirit of Christmas.
I feel like the 'same games on Wii and DS' comment at the start was your excuse to not cover Golden Balls DS. (Unfortunately, I had both Goldenballs Wii and DS To quote you in your baking vid, 'I need to be studied.')

Welcome back to Gaming's most underrated TH-camr
Thanks Blangela, Queen of Shovelware, for this banger.
literally perfect timing for the tree ;w; i’m already playing all i want for christmas is you 😭😭 the pop filter is peak
honestly I feel like the DS had the most shovelware of any console, because it was portable and cheap
Ange i love your content already and this is my second vid! Thank u for the pop filter 🥹
TouchMaster looks like those game machines that they have in Laundromats and golf courses.
Long ago, the four Touch Masters lived in harmony
Then everything changed when Touch Master Connect attacked
Came for the pop filter, stayed for the great video
yo audio is sick, thank you for the pop filter

Babe wake up! A new Blangela vid just dropped!
3:45 for spicy, slightly intimidating, Blange
The more videos i see covering the DS, the more i know i got in at just the right time, mine arrives today, and ive been seeing SOOOO many videos covering it in the last month, i think prices might spike soon
I'm glad your channel has the same approach to Christmas as Walgreens
Very cute Christmas tree! Never too early!!
They released Silly Bandz the same year as the 3DS. Really set themselves up for failure on that one.
You do remember the 3DS sold so poorly they had to drop the price? While millions on millions of people (especially kids) were still play their DS?
Midway made Mortal Kombat to fund their passion project of the TouchMaster saga
Reject the pop filter and embrace chaos! Also nice Christmas tree (and dog)
3:14 too fuckin real
The local game shop near me has an obscene number of Big Mutha Truckers 2 copies 😂
And thank you for the pop filter!
"TouchMaster Remaster: The ReTouched Edition" when?
I do like holding hands and hand-held gaming
thank you for the pop filter!
Thanks, ang. For everything.
I’ll be honest, silly bands were the shit back in middle school.
Dude. That pop filter is epic bro
The “Weesnaw!” ❤️
I have my tree up too it's okay!! Thanks for the pop filter
I bet the touch master himself at least makes his bed every day

the sillybandz game is killing me holy shit it's like a game ad i'd get on instagram in 2024
my DS IS USED ON THE daily still :)
Thanks Ang , Thanks for the pop filter

Thanks for the pop filter!!!111!1!1 But the music popped when you put the Babiez gameplay smh my head
I wouldn't recommend diving into shovelware, it would hurt real bad
Guys! Climb out from under your rocks! Ang dropped another video!!
What the dog doin ?
Angela you're such a Gamer, The Gamer!
I’ve never been touch mastered
I wish I was getting pumped like that DS.
Where the wii fit tree at??? I miss it, lol
thanks for the pop filter but you should really consider getting 3 more of those just so it doesn't look like touchmaster has you outdone
The four TouchMasters of the apocalypse
A name even worse than Touchmaster is the dictionary on the DS; Touch Dic.
My new favorite vlogger
Love this vid about DS and your WiiU vids. Please make more Nintendo vids
Big Mother Truckers is a great game

Nah we were ready right after Halloween. Christmas lasts 3 months in our house.
my homie hates on me for buying shovelware, but i also want every ntsc ds game, and god damn it i like buying shovelware sometimes...
I remember all these lol 😂😂😂😂
Can you review flower sun and rain for the Ds pls
New Mic awesome
Yo, how do I use After Effects?
does shovelware count for the g&w series?
dont you think 11 months after christmas its a bit too late for christmas trees?
Thanksgiving erasure!
Instagram reels doomscrolling brought me here. DS is the best handheld because I say so and everyone else is wrong.
Ahhhh, nothing like shovelware. Thanks for bringing all the shiet back 😂🤟
Any silly bandz enjoyers?
Another blangelaa banger

There was a rat on your bed at the beginning of the video. Dont know if you noticed
They made a silly bands game? Lmao
You look like Chappel roan
Nintendo
