- The Nintendo DS was a pretty great system, but that didn't stop developers from expanding its capabilities with unique (and sometimes bizarre) accessories. Can you recognize each of these obscure and forgotten DS peripherals? Thanks for watching!

Correction: Some of you all have let me know that the Guitar Hero Grip actually has an alternate connector which works with the OG DS! My grip is still in my collection from my On Tour pre-order back in the day, and I didn't remember any alternate connector so I missed this tidbit. Thanks for watching!
I love ur vids keep up the great work
Nintendrew Drew lets be real, the only reason anyone bought Guitar Hero On Tour was to play All Star.
Nintendrew why did Guitar Hero ever come out on DS? I mean it should have stayed on console
I have the Guitar Hero accessory for my DS but it didn't come with that pick (and yes it's official, not a boot leg)
I was about to comment this! Thanks for the correction!
Do a part two, there are sooo many crappy peripherals for the DS
Crappy?
I think you mean damn interesting.
Like the finger strap-stylus for fps games like metroid and so many others
Yeah, like the Band Hero drum set!
... It's just a rubber grip...
Also check the piano attachment and the pedometer ;) I got them in my collection
Not crappy
Maybe the keyboard icon was made because there was more games that were going to be made, like Mario teaches typing deluxe. 🤤
Also it would've taken like less than 5 minutes to make that logo anyway.
Bookworm Deluxe
*D R I N K I E*
What I want to know is why we in the us and Canada didn't get the Pokémon typing game?
@@princesszeldaprincess447 because you guys get all the cool shit let us just have this
The Game Boy Camera got way more love than the DS one.
Because the GB Camera came at a time before smart phones.
Because it's all pixely and looks more retro than the ds camera. Maybe one day.
Chris Richfield also, meme-worthy nightmare fuel!
Bonezee and it also got a guiness world record!
It even adapted to the Super Game Boy for SNES
Nothing better then lunch with a new Nintendrew video
If lunch with Nintendrew is so good, why isn't there a lunch with Nintendrew 2? 😤
wat
But why isn’t there a Nathaniel Bandy 2?
Nintendrew Did... did you just use that emoji... unironically?

Sooo, I own Sonic Sega all stars racing. I never bothered to read the back of the box. I was small. Now I saw this video, saw that the rumble pak would work with it. And sure enough, theres an indicator on the back of the box that its compatible. Dude, I had no idea that DS expansion accessories existed, let alone I owned a game that even supported one. My mind is now blown.
me firs t repli
Huh, so you could have a mini laptop with the Wireless Keyboard and the NDS Browser, technically.
Good idea, except the Pokemon cartridge has the bluetooth capabilities, not the browser
use the dsi
I don't own a dsi to test, but that might work
TheKidFerSure
I don't think the DSI had Bluetooth either
i mean the dsi had a built in web browser right? so use the cartridge as a Bluetooth connection then use the keybored for web browsing
What about the Nintendo DS blood tester?
Fake Name oh i only had the Nintendo DS pregnancy test. I should try that one!
my friend had the ds fryer. he made some good french fries with that thing.
oh my god i thought you were kidding but i just googled it, and it was a real thing o.O Pretty neat concept with it though, to be honest.
@@omgubler
i literally thought you were kidding as well but i googled it too and wow it exists
I only had the DS Moto moto pak,maybe I’ll will
Oh man, I actually have that rumble pak, you're the first person I've ever seen talk about it. I got mine for free at GameStop because they didn't know what it was and it wasn't in their inventory.
THE E Man Lol, gg GameStop.
They gave me a free charger...
Rumble Pak was the best, made Prime Pinball so much more fun. Even Switch Lite doesn't have rumble!
@@bofadeez12 lucky lol the closest thing I got for free were yellow envelope ds games around 1 dollar
I wanted to buy one but they’re selling for 70 bucks :/
I like how unlike many other channels like yours, you actually own most of the things you talk about and can give an in depth reveiw.
TLDR: your contents awsome :D
Thank you! Yes, whenever possible, I like to hunt down and add whatever games/accessories I want to cover to my collection before making a video, and it's awesome to hear that that little touch is appreciated. 😁
Nintendrew omg you responded :D
Jack The Penguin some people can’t afford to buy all of this stuff, sometimes it’s not available, sometimes it’s just a waste of money
Foxy 02016 I’m not saying that it’s bad if you don’t. I’m saying that because he does it greatly improves the quality and allows him to review the items better as he has first hand experience.
if you ever make a part 2, please include the ds piano
Kevin pro the best gaming labo before it existed
I saw that ds piano in a $5 dollar bin at Walmart
yeah pixel lord
i buyed easy piano for ds for like 1 dollar and it was fun, for like 5 minutes.
Fun fact: a lot of keyboard experts consider the pokèmon one a really good model, infact you can still buy it on amazon :D
Not true
What happens when you put the rumble pak in a gameboy advance?
As expected... nothing.
I was about to comment that
Lock Land idk but maybe It starts rumbling?????
I tested it. I got nothing
Lock Land - you'll ruin the space time Continuum and destroy the universe. So don't try it.
The Nintendo Wireless Keyboard is cool... but not as cool as the GameCube Keyboard Controller ;)
I saw this Pokemon Keyboard in my Saturn (electronic store) and it´s still there....over 8-9 years this thing is there and no one buys it. xD
I wish I had the rumble pak when I was playing Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.....my all time favourite game.
I have a game called "Slide Adventures Mag Kid" that released in Japan and has its own controller that plugs into the GBA slot and basically works as an optical mouse. You slide the DS around on a flat surface in order to move the magnetic character into other magnetic objects. The game is okay, but I'll admit that I only bought it because of the weird controller lol.
Arkanoid DS also has its own controller in Japan, the paddle controller. It plugs into the GBA slot and has a dial on it that you turn to control the paddle on screen, similar to old Atari controllers. Unfortunately, I don't own one of those, but I'd love to some day! I heard it also makes Space Invaders Extreme so much more satisfying (and that's already a great game!).
The paddle controller is amazing with Space Invaders Extreme. It's so good, it makes me wonder why Space Invaders hasn't always been played with paddle controllers.
I remember seeing the ORIGINAL DS and being like.. "is this an upgrade to the DS Lite?"
I was pretty young so I don't blame myself for thinking that honestly
GrandMelon I thought the exact same thing!
I thought the lite was the only type of DS
the OG DS has better build quality, better buttons and looks better imo.... so I don't blame you
So did I
I thought the ds lite was a cheaper version
Imagine a Phat DS with DS Lite screens...
Been loving you stuff dude! I remember really wanting the DS Rumble Pack as a kid, though I admittedly never got around to ever getting it
Stuff We Play I got it bundled with Metroid Prime Pinball, and it was pretty awesome. Played that game a lot
Nice video! I love odd, obscure accessories, would love to see more vids like this!
Also, you want an obscure, weird DS accessory? Try Slide Adventures MagKid. This was a Japan-exclusive game that came with a pheripheral that also connected to the DS's GBA slot. You'd then put everything on a table and move it across its surface. The accessory emitted infrared light, similairly to a mouse, and used this to detect the movements. So to simplify, it turned your DS into an oversized mouse. Definitely one I want to add to my collection someday
That's really interesting! I feel like it wouldn't work very well though. My memory might be wrong since I haven't picked up my OG DS in a while, but didn't the bottom have rubber grips? It'd make for a really jerky, stiff movement since it'd be sticking to most flat surfaces. It is a really neat concept though!
Oh, no, the DS sits on top of the accessory and you are just sliding the accessory across the table. And the accessory is entirely made out of plastic
Zander Shepherd why are you a furry?
TheMythicalVlad Because I like anthropomorphic animals. I just enjoy the artwork and the community.
Zander Shepherd zz
I had this accessory pack that added a ln accelerometer for tilt controls. It looked like a normal gba cartridge and was bundled with a tony hawk pro skater tilt game and included a mini game called hue pixel painter that also used the tilt controls. Unfortunately I lost the tilt pack but I believe I still have the game.
That one just missed the cut! Might have to make a part 2. 😉
*Who else still has the OG Phat DS in grey??*
I have it in Blue
I had the ds lite in white but it broke
The color is Titanium
I do! Mine has skull stickers on it, and the hinges are creaky.
Kevintendo mine is broken tho 😢
Heh, funny example of the pirate market providing functionality you couldn't get from official products: there were three-in-one carts floating around that included a memory expansion, rumble pak, and a GBA flashcart. It was pretty much everything you might want to stick in the GBA slot in a single unit. So convenient.
yeah I remember that I think it was called the EZ FLASH 3-1 very handy with flashcarts...
Actually the EZ-Flash 3-in-1 was originally like a "backdoor" to use the first flashcards.
When the first 1-Slot flashcards came out, it was almost over for devices like the EZ-Flash.
Gimme this
The Guitar Hero Guitar Grip came with a separate adapter for the original DS. There should be two small plastic screws where it plugs into the system that can come out with your fingernail or a coin and they are on a spring so you don't lose them, too. At least that was the case for On Tour Decades
the DS lite was my first and favorite handheld.
The guitar hero on tour worked for my OG Blue DS
What if you plugged one of the DS paks into a GBA? Would a special message come up or something?
I own the rumble pack and tried that back in the day. Nothing happens.
Rhythm Heaven Fever...Lockstep
Morning Star Indeed. Rhythm Heaven character for Smash.
Love this videos! Always straight to the point, and very informative. Plus almost always showing the stuff you talk about running in real time! Keep up the good work, it's always a delight to see a new video from you
Actually for the guitar hero one you can swap out the part where you plug it in to the system to fit in the original ds. Still, great video though!
the adapter piece for this was only included in the 1st version, later versions only fit a DSlite.
I got it with mine when I was a kid. I was dumb so i thought it was to help extend the accesory when you got cramps or something, lol.
I got Guitar Hero for my DS not realizing it wouldn't work with my DSi XL......don't be to hard on me I just bought the system and didn't realize the i line wasn't backwards comp.
But like, why are you just buying a Dsi XL in 2018, when you could get a 3ds/2ds for probably cheaper
This is when the DSI XL just came out...
I realize this is old but I think "I just bought the system" part is what caused the confusion
jonny f5ve I think he meant just (as in only)
Another SMASH hit, dude! I am blown away at the BT functionality on the DS Cart! And I didn't know about the "Rumble Cart". Wild!
I just discovered your videos yesterday and I am binging. You earned a new sub :)
the guitar hero grip works with the normal ds, you just need to use the other cartridge adapter
Heck yes my dude 🤩
Pixel Game Squad I never heard of these in my life
You missed one there was a motion control pack that i had. For the game Tony Hawks Motion. I still have the game but i lost the motion pack. I know i am about a year late to comment.
My older sister who's a huge Nintendo fan actually has a guitar hero grip which is rather cool
At first I couldn't figure out what was so familiar about the t-shirt. Then it hit me. I'm wearing the exact same one right now. Great video! :)
You guys I had a DSi and I tried Guitar Hero but couldn't figure out where to put the thingy I was like what the hell is this
0:43 5/10 not enough Pokémon on keyboard
Yeah they could've put some pokemon on it and a nintendo logo or something.
Dr. Dunsparce haha
Some of these are really neat! I like videos like this, learning about accessories I did not know existed.
From what I remember, that guitar hero game originally came with a adapter for the orgininal DS too, probably still have one somewhere. Probably most common DS obscurity.
I think the rumble pack was the coolest thing.
The ds... My First console.... And omg Time Goes fast
My first one was the game boy advance
Blue Topaz I had game boy
That's it
Not color
Then i got color
But no games that benefited from the color
Then I finally go pokemon leaf green
*handheld
We tend to refer to them differently to distinguish between actual consoles and portable ones.
NIgHTMaReFortyTwo ......... We in The netherlands says that it's console for every Game thingy where you can play games on and not The pc
My first console was the PS1 ^^” my first handheld was the Game Boy Advanced, almost 8 years later. Video games were either a flea market thing or a, “This is expensive so you’ll get one on your birthday” thing, so a new console of any size was essentially out of the question.
This video was awesome but I recommend putting all (or most) of the peripherals in the video thumbnail. I loved seeing all those unique accessories
I remember when rumors claimed that the DSi was gonna have built-in rumble.
Also: the DS Rumble Pak uses a different Option Pak ID than it was originally intended. We know this through a detail in the DS firmware that also gives away that the Rumble Pak had been planned from the start: the DS alarm clock actually has an option to vibrate the system in addition to the audible alarm. This is seen with a certain two-slot flashcart that just happens to use the ID that the Rumble Pak had originally been intended to use.
What happens if you put the DS rumble pack into the GBA?
HeY GuYS NiNtsNdREW HERe
Hey!!!! I love your channel and Videes! Keep up the good content Nintendrew!
Amazing video! I remember getting the Browser and the Memory Expansion Pak and what kind of weird games it could be compatible with the Expansion Pak, but at the end, it ended up falling in the dust and was only used for one "game".
Hey! You missed the Tony Hawk motion control game!
I had the guitar hero thing but i had a DSi so i had to use my sisters DS lite
Mega-Drive64 hahaha relatable 👌
Out of all these the guitar hero one is the only I’ve owned
That rumble pack really drained your battery, too. It did work with Metroid Prime: Hunters as well, which came out early in the Nintendo DS' life. The reason it wasn't used for bigger titles like Zelda, as I was told, was 1: that battery issue, and 2: it wouldn't be easy to control a rumbling Nintendo DS and a stylus, which was used to play the Zelda titles.
The Guitar Hero grip is so nostalgic, great video!
What if you put a Option Pak on a GameBoy Advance????
Imyetihearmeroar thanks! That was somehow predictable, but I was curious :)
Nintendrew i love your videos and am i the only philippine here?
If you insert On Tour Guitar Grip on the Original Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, or Nintendo 3DS or any other system, you might get an error.
There was a SNES emulator that used the ram expansion. Ran pretty well from what I remember
Keep up the great work! You make me forget about Miku
Fishy Boopkins HAH
Fishy Boopkins impossible fishy boopkins! You could never! I dont ship nintendoopkins
HMMM interesting
There is also a motion pak for the ds. It came with a Tony hawk skating game and a side game with like a blue monster. I had it and lent it to my "friend" but never saw it back.
And then there's the DS "Slide Controller," which came with the game "Slide Adventure MAGKID." It plugged into the GBA slot and gave the DS a control method similar to an optical mouse, meaning you placed the DS on a flat surface and could slide it around to move.
There was also a Paddle controller that featured a small knob, used for a couple of Taito games like Arkanoid DS and the Space Invaders Extreme games. It was only sold in Japan but was still able to work on the localized versions of the games.
And apparently there was a Japan-only TV Tuner that picked up analog signals, complete with little antennae to adjust for better reception and channel-changing via the touch screen. I have no idea if it still works over there, but it's still listed at the Japanese Amazon store.
Hey nintendrew, guys here
Hey Scott, all here!
Space Sponge ahem its yall not all, obviously Scott loves in texas
despacito, and hi Drew!
Jorge FTW 🅱es🅱acito
Des🅱️acito II
As always, great content, great video.
2:05 Fun fact: if you remove the two screws above the cartridge insert, you can swap out the connector with one that fits an original DS.

*NO!!!*
You are not nintendrew
Marcello _64 except he is
Yeah he is
Paul Novacek
Amazing to see loeder being used!
I love your channel!
The Guitar hero grip works on the original ds model as well. When you bought the game bundled with the grip, you got 2 seperate parts of the "cartrige slot". One was shorter, and the other one was longer.
god I love your nintendo themed room and collection
Loving these videooooosssss
Didn't know this channel existed till recently but I won't miss anymore content now
I was surprised to hear about the DS RAM cartridge as I never knew there was even a Browser available for the original DS. Nintendo were really ahead of the game back then... Was pleasantly surprised to see that I own two of the mentioned peripherals though, never realised their rarity until now, lol.
Great Video Nintendrew.
The guitar hero peripheral comes with on extension piece that allows you to use it on DS phat. or at least the PAL version did
2:09 my mom saw it at goodwill thought my brother would play it so we bought it it was cool it was also on tour decades
Loved the video. There are 4 that I know of you might want. There is the TV Tuner, The Piano, the Card Reader (Oshare Majo Love and Berry) and the Arkanoid DS Paddle Controller. There was also the add-on packs for some games.
i love the weird obscure stuff from japan that go to those "lifestyle application" sort of things. nintendo has always made strange game peripherals and applications for their systems in japan that are made for people who dont play games that often, like those odd banking and stock market apps on the satella-view, and the unreleased cell phone add ons for the gameboy advance that wouldve let people read emails and use a mobile web browser. nintendo really wanted to be a lifestyle brand instead of primarily a gaming brand, its really interesting to me
I honestly became a collector thanks to this man, but you can’t forget Playstasean lol. But seriously thanks drew you gave me an idea for what to do
Actually, I had Guitar Hero on Tour (loved it so much) and it had a second plug thing from the grip that you could use in place of the other so it fit with the original DS model. I lost the smaller one, so I'm stuck with the larger one meant for the original DS. All you did was unscrew one, and screw in the other. It was fairly simple.
I love how you somehow make videos about things I’ve NEVER heard about
As a kid i totally got the guitar hero grip to work on my gen 1 ds. If i remember correctly, it came with a swappable game boy cartridge piece that allowed it to fit on older systems.
Metroid Prime Pinball with Rumble Pack, so many good memories in my mind ^^
Furthermore, I own a DSi and it's pretty exciting to discover all the features that were experienced with former models, included into this awesome handheld device (web browser, cameras... only the rumble pack vibrations are missing 😅).
Anyway, very good job, this is the kind of videos I really want to watch on TH-cam 👍
The rumble pack was also compatible with Metroid Prime Hunter and also served as a bass system. A DS lite version exists too, so it doesn't stick out, but I think it only came out in Japan.
I still got my DS browser cart and expansion pak. Glad I held onto it.
Cool video, THX man.
I cramped the hell out of my hand playing those DS Guitar Hero games. Loved that controller!
Hey great vid! The Rumble pack was an actually good idea. But for the guitar hero grip, it actually works with other type of DS. I had it with my DS classic and it worked fine.
I had never heard of any of these peripherals until now. This was an interesting video! 🤓
I always wondered why my dust cover had pins... Thanks drew!
Dude that is the coolest office I've ever seen.
Really interesting video !!!
I had the Guitar Hero games and grip! So many wrist cramps, but so fun!
Aw yeah, I live for these kinds of vids~
There were 3rd party memory expansion packs, which had even more ram, I remember getting one specifically so I could play a home brew port of quake 2 on my DS, it was honestly one of the best experiences I ever had on the system.
If you're going to do a second part, I suggest to include the "Slide Controller" which is an optical mouse accesory to be inserted in the GBA slot. As far as I know, it was only used for the Japanese game "Slide Adventure Mag Kid".
Another interesting peripherals are the "Paddle Controller" (for Arkanoid, both Space Invaders Extreme and Space Bust-A-Move), the Sega's "Card Reader" for some of its obscure card games for DS, the "Motion Pak" for Tony's Hawk's Motion, or the "Wappy Dog" robot of the Wappy Dog game itself.
I had the original DS with the Guitar Hero Grip. Out of the box yes it only worked with the light but it also came with another gameboy adapter piece that allowed you to play on the original fat ones.
Hey Nintendrew nice video :D
Really cool didn't know most of these existed
Idk why I’ve been sleep on this channel for so long
