I find it so crazy that nowadays on TH-cam even small channels are creating content that puts them in line with much much bigger channels. Keep killing it man
i agree 100% I happen to have both consoles in my home and i can see where your coming from. I think the most similar games are NSMB and NSMBWii or Mariokart DS and Mariokart Wii.
i bought one on 25th of December through Ebay but it came around early febuary this year because i had to go through clearance and some other stuff, i really love my DSL its sleek and nice, battery life is up to 8 hours play time and if u leave it charged but not in use it'll stay fine for decades, real cool piece of tech
I honestly love the ds library it feels like it has just about and kind of game on there. Want to play a first person shooter? Play Metroid Prime Hunters or freaking Call of Duty on there. While I personally don't have a original ds or DS lite (I played on the 3ds) the variety of the library ALONE made it my favorite console of all time.
@@melontype it really is and while the switch isn't my favorite console of all time I do appreciate how Metroid is getting some love and attention with dread and the mp1 remaster.
I had the DSi and the lite, I preferred the dsi screen but it really sucked you couldn't play gba games so there was a reason to keep the lite. also the buttons on the lite felt better than the clicky ones on the dsi
No cameras on it made it a staple at my schools aftercare program so everyone just played Ds lites and anyone that had a dsi pretty much were screwed then of course when I graduated from my elementary school they allowed kids to start bringing iPhones and iPads and whatever devices they wanted
I played with my DS Phat for so many years until the hinge disintegrated, lol. So much fun, especially if you have a flashcart. I have a 3DS right now, but I'm still planning on buying a used DS Lite soon so I could go back and rediscover the amazing library it has.
Definitely not, ultimate DS experience is the DSi XL. I have a New 3DS xl and it makes DS games look like shit, unless you do the 1:1 hold start thing, and then they are too small due to dpi. Also, every 2DS/3DS is inferior for DS games as top displays just isn't great for them.
@@bagelgrenade8332Nope, I know all the mods and there's only one that can change the scaler for DS and GBA titles and thats TWPatcher, and it sucks, a lot. There's no way around it, the 3DS screen resolution just can't integer-scale the DS resolution, so you always get weird artifacts and scaling. The only thing you can do is leave it 1:1 if you want clean pixels, and that's pretty small.
@@NickEnchev I don’t know what to tell you man it looks great on my 3DS and I’ve literally done side by side comparisons with a DS lite and DSi. Any difference is totally negligible
@@bagelgrenade8332 It doesn't look great, it just doesn't bother you. This isn't my opinion btw, its a well known fact that DS games look like ass when scaled on a 3DS.
I have bad memories with the DS lite tbh, mine got stolen with all my games. I had 600+ hours played on pokemon diamond, and had moved up all my pokemon from my childhood gba games. Literally thousands of hours of work and my childhood memories stolen.
during the time after the game cube and before the switch, Nintendo had a way to make a console feel nostalgic even if it was your first time ever playing on the console. Nintendo were the only one's to achieve that. Yes switch plays modern games, it is great for getting into modern gaming, and lots of the switch games do out preform older games. My gues is that because the ds was the first Nintendo console to achieve that feeling of nostalgia even though you never played the console before, you have bias towards ds because it was the first to achieve that, even though Wii, 3ds and Wii U achieved that feeling too, it was done afterwards.
I have a question that sounds like a joke, but it's not. My Nintendo Ds Lite is silver, beautiful, works normally, everything really, but my d-pad works very well too, except that it has a "squishy" look, and although all directions work, the right needs more "strength" on the finger, and sometimes it doesn't work, is this normal?
@@melontype actually I'm just thinking about buying a tool and a kit of new d-pads, which are quite cheap in fact, my "fear" is to open it, change the d-pad and when it's time to assemble and turn it on, see that some function is not correct, such as a problematic sound, or problems with the triggers or even with one of the screens
That "Squishy" feeling is from the rubber pads under the covers that actually connect with the board on the inside. Over time they get warn out and sometimes rip causing for that harder push being needed. Mine had the same thing, I bought a new set of pads for around $3 you can find them really cheap. Got a Y point tool and a normal screw driver opened the DS up and replaced the pads. Its really not that hard to do and after I replaced them it fixed my squishy problem and feels really good! The DS LITE is super easy to work on and you should be able to replace the pads with out any problems to the console. Everything will work as intended and honestly not much you can screw up! Watch some youtube videos you got it!
Love the video but for a bit of constructive criticism, please work on your audio mixing. Your voice is way quieter than the sound effects and video clips you played, but otherwise, good video
@@melontype yeah you can litterally play ds games 3ds game ofc nes snes gameboy and gameboy color without modding but with modding you can play natively any nes snes game you want any gba game natively on the gorgeous and bright 3ds screen with a circle pad and you can also play other homebrew games etc
I hate this, now i feel sad and nostalgic about a time in my childhood i can never go back to. Well better get out the old emulator as i have over time destroyed my GBA SP and my NDS Lite...... i really need to get new ones. Its gonna be expansiv but dam is it gonna be worth it
This video is for people who decided the 3ds xl was out of their budget and watches this to double down their decision of owning the lesser of the bunch when making the “greatest console of all time” claim 🤷♂️ or people who are completely unaware the 3ds xl exist which does everything this does and more but what do I know lol
I find it so crazy that nowadays on TH-cam even small channels are creating content that puts them in line with much much bigger channels. Keep killing it man
Appreciate it my guy ❤
I like how the DS Lite shares some of the Wii's design language too, it kinda makes them look especially amazing right next to each other.
i agree 100% I happen to have both consoles in my home and i can see where your coming from. I think the most similar games are NSMB and NSMBWii or Mariokart DS and Mariokart Wii.
@@epg-playz a match made in paradise
DSi shares more of the Wii designs than the DS Lite tbh
@CoolPig03 if we're talking about software, then yes.
Ds lite is the prettiest console ❤️
no u
i bought one on 25th of December through Ebay but it came around early febuary this year because i had to go through clearance and some other stuff, i really love my DSL its sleek and nice, battery life is up to 8 hours play time and if u leave it charged but not in use it'll stay fine for decades, real cool piece of tech
i hear you dude, so hard to find one in good condition these days
@@melontype mine is actually in excellent condition but a downside is that it came with a USA charger but i live in EU...
A timeless design.

Metroid is so underrated!

I got the original DS close to launch and a DSi XL only a year ago but never had the Lite. It seems to be the most beloved version of the DS.
No cameras on it made it a staple at my schools aftercare program so everyone just played Ds lites and anyone that had a dsi pretty much were screwed then of course when I graduated from my elementary school they allowed kids to start bringing iPhones and iPads and whatever devices they wanted
i find it really sad that nintendo will probably never make another ds again. the ds and 3ds were and STILL are the greatest consoles of all time
This was a well made video, nice work. I'd agree so far as to say it was the greatest handheld of all time, console...thats a close one.
Really appreciate that mate. What would be your greatest console of all time?
@@melontype Considering impact and innovation i'd probably say PS1.
I love this video! Me and my sister found my Mom's Nintendo DSi, but we cannot find the plug this video really let me know what's in store for me.

It was an amazing system and really brought people together ❤🎉
I was a DS lite boy my whole childhood but the 3ds with custom firmware is the ultimate DS experience imo

@@NickEnchev ah but the great thing about that is there are mods and software you can get to make those DS games look MUCH better

That doesn’t make sense you can’t get nostalgic for playing something for the first time
@@slapshotjack9806 the Nintendo DS is such an amazing video game console you remember playing it in a past life
@@shermanthebear963 once again makes no sense
this guy is wayyy too underrated
I got a dsi xl and never got the ds lite but I played it and it was dope
The only thing I remember from playing on the DS is me dropping it in the toilet bowl, forcing my dad to buy a new one (It suffered the same fate)
Still playing DSi, metallic blue&green lime
The best part about the ds was being able to charge it inside the car

That's exactly what happened to mine too, I think it might be a common problem. Not much you can do about it I'm afraid except get a new one D:

Yes and the 3DS is even better! The analog stick was so nice to have
I agrre i love this console so much so nostalgic , it has really good games and i love the look of it
Agreed! Best era of gaming :)
the ds lite screens are yellowing due to age, its over bros
Agreed
Love the video but for a bit of constructive criticism, please work on your audio mixing. Your voice is way quieter than the sound effects and video clips you played, but otherwise, good video
Really appreciate the feedback man ❤ glad you enjoyed the video
I like the DSi xl better. Thats the one my older sister had and now its mine :)
DS Lite is still awesome tho
I had a dsi before a ds lite💀
I love it as well, but I think that the DSi is straight out better in any way
Amazing editing and music🤩🤩 10/10
The Nintendo DS Launch model is the best because bigger = better! (Excluding DSi Models and 3DS Models)
I have one myself!
Agreed.
I really like the dsi but I would like to get a dslite with a gba game.
a 3ds with homebrew is the greatest console imo

@@melontype yeah you can litterally play ds games 3ds game ofc nes snes gameboy and gameboy color without modding but with modding you can play natively any nes snes game you want any gba game natively on the gorgeous and bright 3ds screen with a circle pad and you can also play other homebrew games etc
in my opinion the wii with homebrew on it is the best

for me its the N64 & Xbox 360 & Switch
top 3 consoles of all time (personal)
Its not Just this Console.The games are the Best Too
New 3ds xl is my favorite but ds lite was a game changer for sure, just wish it kept the gba port
I like the psp and vita better but the DS and 3DS are awesome portables I have bouth and play everyday
This video is for people who decided the 3ds xl was out of their budget and watches this to double down their decision of owning the lesser of the bunch when making the “greatest console of all time” claim 🤷♂️ or people who are completely unaware the 3ds xl exist which does everything this does and more but what do I know lol
Retrocompatibility with GBA, region free.
Nintendo DS for me it's the best console ever.
But it’s the black one
3ds
DSi solos
The original 2004 model DS is better but hey we have our own opinions
PS2
Good thing i didnt smash mine
Nah man the 3ds/2sd is better it can play ds games LOL
The ds lite was my first and favorite handheld but sadly I lost it 😅
Nah 3ds is greatest
Greatest console is ps2, greatest handheld maybe psp or switch
Definitely not the GOAT but it was pretty decent. Mostly for form factor and backwards compatibility with GBA games.
Backwards compatability was for sure insane for its time!
Disagree honestly
Ds lite overated af
Its not Just this Console.The games are the Best Too
