There’s actually a reason for the option to turn off the backlight. The original DS (as well as the DS Lite, I believe) used transflective displays, meaning it can either be transmissive (backlight on) or reflective (backlight off). This is also the reason why the DS screen looks so washed out, as transflective displays are not as vibrant as regular displays. Nintendo did this so the DS screen would be easy to see in any kind of lighting.
Another thing on the DS Lite: The hinges are way too easy to break. I went through 3 DS Lites in my childhood and all of them are broken and in the trash.
The touchscreen was horrible. Literally, everything worked except for your finger, so you had to use your fingernail to do it and hope your mom didn't cut your nails an hour ago
0:41 Try playing your DS outside when it's sunny, like on the beach in summer, and the we'll talk about it. 2:45 The retrocompatibility is one of the best things Nintendo consoles ever did, so yeah, it's really sad. I can understand with the Switch, since cartridges are back, but here it's bad. 3:29 Of course, we had to have a haunted Pictochat segment. Nice to see you here, too, Nintendrew!
The first ds that I got was a 3DS when 8 and it had MarioKart7 installed into it It only lasted like 2 and a half years so I got a new one. I loved that thing for 3 years until my mom took it and now I don’t where it is.

The Nintendo DS Lite was my first Nintendo system... Rest in peace light blue DS Lite, I'm still sorry for destroying you by letting you fall down far to often... I miss you buddy
Nintendo probably didn't put gameboy or gameboy color support because: 1. There were no more games being in the making. 2. It would be outdated or the GBA was already compatible.
4:37 So Nintendrew was the one that was responding to Nathaniel on Picto Chat, despite him being in his own house. Either Nintendrew actually went to Nathaniel's house and spied on him through the window or something, or he set up security cameras in Nathaniel's house and somehow modded the DS to do Picto Chat over the internet...
Imagine if you was in the same situation in 3:51 then the person who was talking to you sneaked in noiseless and made you jumpscare... Talker: BOO!!!!!! Me: **Jumps and drills a hole in the roof** Talker: **Also jumpscares** That’s “scaring the scarer”.
0:41 A friend of mine did this. She had problems with a game I gaved her and she asked me to help her. I couldn't anything see on the display until she turned the light on. I can't understand, why she did this.
How the Nintendo DSi triggers me: *The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition was only available for short time AND FREE* They offered a legendary game (one of the best games for DSi) for a short time and removed it from the DSi shop forever. *TRIGGERED*

Restaurant : * plays rap music in restaurant * Restaurant waiter : I Welcome To McD-- DSI Owner : Nice music in this restaurant may I save it on my DSI Restaurant waiter : Um Ok ?
I have a DSi, i still use it, accidentally activated parental controls and pictochat it locked. It still works fine and I love it, I play Ace Attorney and just ordered Bowser's inside story
My biggest problem with the DSi is that the DSi enhanced games are for some reason region locked on it but they are not region locked on a DS or DS Lite.
The DS sound at the beginning is really nostalgic for me
Yes, as soon as I heard it I had a flashback
3ds
Yup
ITS YOU! YOU ARE EVERYWHERE! AAAAAAA!
Same
You haven't had the full DS experience until you've lost your stylus.
Exactly
I actually lost one of my styluses years ago! Good thing I had spares!
^-^
I still reminisce about that stylus to this day...
I lost my stylus by putting it in a hole in a car......
And i have used the dsi xl for years using my fingers
*MY FINGERS!*
I've lost like 15 DS stylus
Imagine before u die u hear the P-switch sound

Just remember everyone, those with a DS say: *touching is good*
ohno
DinoLaris haha
*TOUCHING IS GOOD! Especially in the right spots...*
But not the sexual harassment charges
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You gotta be honest
The slogan "Touching is good" is the best one Nintendo has ever made
Eliot is confused about your past decisions touch me, Nintendo
The best slogan for nintendo has to be "Wii would like to play"
I prefer "*SNAP*"
@@waluigist they rather have to put you in Smash or give you a dedicated game.

"Why is the stylus so tiny."
New Nintendo 2DS: (Sweats heavily)
I lost that thing in under a month
@@legna3407 sad
Wait. Really? The new 2DS model also have a tiny stylus? Now, I'm glad I kept playing with my 2DS.
ive had my new 2DS for over a year and never lost the stylus, mostly because I never wanted to lose another one
Small?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Why the DS triggered you:
Basically half of the library was shovelware
i can agree with that
True
The true question is, which has more, the DS or the Wii?
Why is Nintendo cursed with shovelware bait.
Hero of Trains yep
The console with the less shovelware is most likely the Xbox
There’s actually a reason for the option to turn off the backlight.

I believe the DS lite doesn't have it, it has different levels of lighting instead
Not Gonna Lie. The NINTENDO DS Is My All Time Favorite Handheld Game Console.
Same
I love it it's my favorite forever

Especially having super mario 64
I like the NEW 3ds XML it’s the first bone I had that my brother didn’t break
Things that haven't triggered him yet:
SNES, N64 and GameCube

Nathaniel Bandy:"Why is the Stylus so tiny?"

Also If a New 2DS XL Existed. Where is the NEW 2DS?!
Nathaniel bandy : ''why is the DS PHAT stylus so tiny?''
2ds xl: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
ME: what...
The only thing that triggers me is how perfect the DS was and still is
True... true
Sandwich yes!! i still play to and enjoy it so much
Yeah
It’s too perfect
“There’s an option to turn off the brightness, imagine someone un-ironically using this.”
Me, with my phone on the lowest brightness possible: *hey.*
Well, technically speaking, you're not really bright to us Earthlings. But a lot of people know that you're coming our way in 4 billion years.
that’s what I try to do so I can save battery but my phone’s brightness goes back up
same i got used to it my family asks me why its not at max like wtf smh
So you can play in the dark without murdering your eyes
Another thing on the DS Lite:
The hinges are way too easy to break. I went through 3 DS Lites in my childhood and all of them are broken and in the trash.
*shell replacement exists*
same lol
I've had the same DS Lite for 7 years, and it never broke
I think that means you're just rough with it.
I had a red one, a light blue one and a black one from my cousin. All of the hinges broke.
Also I wouldn't recommend pushing the screen all the way back.
That's how my DS Lite broke in a year :/
R.I.P Nintendo DS Lite it shall be missed. ;(
Vester&Friends I did something similar to my DS Lite, and it made the hinge very loose and flimsy.
Same, when I pushed my Lite, a piece cracked from my lite and it’s flimsy
I usually have mine open 3/4 of the way. That way it’s just a bit curved but not like a 2DS
My DS Lite actually RUINED my eyesight 6 years ago! Now I feel sad. ☹️
I just discovered that DS stands for "Dual Screen"
*developers system
@@lucky194 It actually means both
@Zaden Grenell It's a parody
So what does 3ds mean
Congratulations Captain Obvious
"The original DS was a Revolution!"
No, I'm pretty sure that was the Wii...
they both were.
Oh now I get the joke.

Revolution for touch screen that is.

Congrats! Your GBA SP has evolved into a DS!

damn my white one broke the same way too! good thing it was almost christmas and I got a new one with new games.

Because the GBA needed a build-in adaptor to do that. This was quite large and would have made the DS even bigger than it already was.
1:01 sounds like you're speaking from experience. I'd really like to hear the story behind this.
What does DS stand for?
Answer: Drastic System
Dual Screen
Dark Souls
3 Dimensional system
3ds
DS = Dual Screen
3DS = 3D-Screen
no u
R.I.P. to all the L and R buttons broken when you played Mario Kart DS.
They broke for me in Mario 64
They broke for me when playing Bowser's Inside Story
You can talk about any game that broke your L and R buttons too.
I broke my left d-pad button just trying to unlock R.O.B and I never did😭😭😭😢
I almost broke the L button by playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky, if you played that game you'll understand
“Touching is good” that just sounds so wrong
Yes that sounds very wrong.

@@penguboii5818 you watch looygi???
What's wrong with it? Touching is good as long as you use a stylus.

Not for ecchi based games like Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! .
