I fulfill a lifelong dream and own a Midnight Blue Nintendo DSi XL. Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz

Honestly, at this point I want a Scott podcast. He’s just so easy to listen to (in and out of character), and I’d love to be able to listen to him talk about stupid Nintendo games on the go.
this comment is old but from somebody who knows very little about collecting consoles how can you tell if a sealed console is actually 100% unused and "new" without opening it? i imagine there are ways but im curious
@@user-ci6oo1uv2k honestly it comes down to mainly trusting your seller. There's also graded consoles which will be approved by an official company. Then there's just praying by buying off of ebay and stuff. If you're in person, just look for ANY sign of it being opened like the tape looking off, looking too brand new for it's age. Color breaks, creasing on flaps of the box. Etc. It's really tough. Some consoles never came "sealed" too and those are the hardest ones cause someone can just reclose it.
@@pr9334 Good look finding the .dsi files! Only decently sized archive I've found is installables for 3DS systems, which you have to install on a 3DS, dig into the executable with GodMode9, and extract the title.bin, then rename to .dsi to move back to your DSi to play. A total hassle.
The r/roms mega thread has a full dsiware rom archive that can be played through twilight menu. Dunno about hiya, didn't bother installing since twilight pretty much obsoletes the stock DSi menu in every way.
I love hearing Scott’s little personal stories, like downloading Flipnote Studio in his front yard with his neighbor’s WiFi. Little stories like that give gaming so much life for the people who share the experiences :)
That story he shared made me think back to when I played WarioWare D.I.Y. regularly and asked my neighbor for permission to use their WiFi to connect online with the game because my family's own router's encryption was too strong to let me use my own WiFi for DS games.
This would be the ultimate DS if it had a GBA slot. I love how sharp the games look on here compared to the 3DS XL line due to the lack of smoothing. Also I just love blue
Not sure if it helps, but the 3DS has a "DS" mode where it dosen't stretch the image I believe it's hold start and select. It's not really talked about, but it looks marginally better to me
@@crypticpoptart Yeah I know about that, but sadly it letterboxes the screen down to native size, which is impractical. I wish you could disable the smoothing, but at the same time it’s a non-integer scale, so it’d have ultimately looked worse
I loved hearing Scott’s story about walking around outside with his DSi and randomly connecting to a neighbor’s wifi. It was at a time when most people had open wifi connections because they didn’t know better.
Scott: *Mentions Pokemon Conquest* Me: I should never have doubted the king of virgins. It seems even my small part of the world has been visited by the Woz.
4:13 I've had luck kinda 'sawing' at the seal with a butter knife, just kinda slowly working my way down for boxes like that. You could also just use an X-acto blade to cleanly cut the bottom open, I guess.
OOF! That ending was so sad :( We were all expecting it to be in mint condition, but to our dismay, he ended up getting a used one in disguise. I’m pretty sure that pen was a replacement.
The Mario DS Lite that you showed brought back so much memories, I've always wanted that specific version but never bought it because I already had like what felt like 50 DS's. Amazing video :]
This video brings back so many memories. The blue DSi XL was my first ever console and I still have it to this day. I even still have the original BLUE (not green) pen-style stylus that came with it. I remember I got lego Star Wars the complete saga with it and I played that game so much that parts of it started getting corrupted. Mario Kart DS is a close second in terms of favorites on the platform. Thank you for making this video! It honestly made my day. Please don’t stop making videos like this even if it’s just occasionally.
What was nice about the XL models of DSi is all of them had a premium IPS screen. The screens were really really nice compared to 3DS screens that was a total lottery when it came to quality.
@@Ghostmanetx they're the best way to play DS games. Every DSi XL came with 2 IPS screens, so the colors are amazing and the games look better than ever. You're going to get the most out of them by putting custom firmware on them tho (aka "modding" them) to play games off of an SD card without needing game carts. The buttons are nice and clicky and it feels like a premium console in the hands. If all that sounds good to you, then I would say they're worth it. Keep in mind you can also play DS games on a 3DS family system tho. A New 3DS XL is an *okay* way to play DS games, for example, while also being able to play 3DS games and being better at GB/GBC/GBA/NES/SNES emulation (tricking the system into thinking any given game is a Virtual Console release vs. using a 3rd party emulator, which the DSi has to). If you want a system that does everything, I recommend the New 3DS XL. If you just want the best way to play DS games, then the DSi XL wins.
My Fanily still has one of these things working at home. It’s been thrown and dropped countless times but still chugs on. The charging port sucks and the top screen pixels bleed like crazy but it still works fine.
He should. Imo, He deserves it. But I'll give him credit. Its impressive he has not given in the temptation to open other methods of monetization using patron or selling merch(for himself, not for charity)
My older cousin had this DSi and I remember being so jealous and wanting a DS of my own. I did finally get my own DSi around my birthday and I loved it to death
This, this exact same model, DSi XL was nt very first portable console back in 2012. Won it on a video editing contest. I fell in love with portable gaming ever since thanks to it! And mine still works like a charm, as well still complete with the box and everything for the collection!
Ngl as a teenager on the cusp of my first job the first thing I’m saving for is a GBAsp AGS-101 in cobalt blue with minish cap and the Pokémon for that generation that’s my book mark
Man I miss my Mario red DS. I got one from my grandma when I was too young to really realize how to properly take care of stuff, and it no longer works. Definitely something cherished that I unfortunately don’t have anymore. It was unfathomably cool to see that brand new in its box still. You’re the goat scatt
I remember when I was about about 7 or so waiting for this exact DS to come out instead of buying a normal DSi and it gave me some of my greatest childhood memories, I recently went back and found a ton of old pictures I took on it that I didn’t even know existed which gave me so much nostalgia
I honestly feel bad for Scott being sold a used DSi labeled as new, since he probably paid way more than he should have if he got one labeled as used. Should probably get a refund, if he can. Also, big rip for the color blindness.
I remember when I got my DSi XL for my 8th birthday a few months after its release. I still have it to this day and still it's almost as good as new. That thing is filled with so many memories.
I feel you. It's so hard to find a second-hand or refurbished one with clean screens. But DSi XLs really don't exist "new" anymore. :( To me it's the best system. Bigger screen! There's also the (N)2/3DS XL with big screens but DS games visually don't look that great resized on those.
I feel like Scott’s stash is perfect way to do certain things that wouldn’t fit in a Scott the woz video and videos on specific things that are too specific to be it’s own video
I remember getting this on my birthday back when it first launched and I still love and use this system. Still one of my favorite handhelds it has such a nice ips display and just has amazing games. I just realized I can’t find the huge stylus though so I’ve been using my 2ds’s stylus
I remember getting the red DSi XL with the same 3 games pre-installed. Brain Age was really fun. I wonder how rare they are compared to the original DSi that came with 5 games, Mario Clock, Mario Calculator, WarioWare Snapped, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, and Dr. Mario DX.
As someone who recently bought a DSi XL secondhand, I can confirm that it's not rare to get the two Brain Ages and Photo Clock even when it's not new. They were on EVERY DSi XL no matter what (unless you deleted it or something)
This exact one was my first DS, I bought it back in 2011, even though that's when the 3DS came out I wanted to get this one instead. So many amazing games and memories with this thing. I actually still have it in surprisingly pretty good condition to this day, and hopefully will be able to keep it working for a long long time
15:32-the moment things started collapsing. Saddest moment on the internet. The DSi XL is my favorite handheld, and I woulda have been a combination of devastated and infuriated.
I recently got a yellow/black Japanese DSI LL and oh man I forgot how lovely these systems were. The big stylus, the large crisp screen, easily the best way to play DS games.
I got this exact same color and model back in 2010, so you're completely off the mark on that 2012 release. However, I do distinctly remember the XL being heavily marketed to seniors, and launching in "bronze & burgandy" colors with blue coming a bit later. Anyways, sorry about the """green""" stylus. Pretty much everyone (including me) lost their thicc stylus since there was no easy way to store it, and either stuck with the little one or bought a mismatched replacement like that.
I recently watched your video on your game closet, and have now gotten into collecting consoles. Gosh dang it I now spend more on consoles so I can have the box and all the little accessories and manuals...
This was actually my very first DSi console and I loved it to bits. I made so many memories through pictures, recordings and even Flipnotes. It survived so many falls and drops from my clumsy child self... Unfortunately though, it met its demise after a scuffle I had with my step sibling in which she broke it with a hammer. I am planning on getting another one some day in the future just to relive those days 🥺
This nostalgic console was my favorite system back in my childhood. I used to be proud for owning this exact edition of the console since it was better than any other dsi that my friends or family had lol.
I bought this color variation a couple years ago, but it didn’t have flipnote on it (bought after the shop closed down) so I traded it for a Mario 25th anniversary red DSI that did have it Needless to say I wish I kept the blue one and just softmodded it to get Flipnote :P
I have that same DSi XL model!(of course mine was bought new so it had the correct stylus) barely use it now since I have my 3ds but I use it occasionally just to see what's on it and look back at all the pictures I took.
I have the special edition Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary DSi XL and it's one of my most cherished possessions, and I think a good chunk of my love towards it comes from its photo-taking capabilities. Not only have I played so many wonderful games on that thing, but I took so many pictures on it when I was little. So many great games *and* memories are both packed in that thing and all my 3DSes. And by memories I mean both captured with that camera and captured with my mind. I always took It on our yearly family camping trips and played it while we drove around places like Yosemite. Those memories have been burned into my memory forever, one of them being me wearing my earbuds and listening to Ecruteak City's theme play on loop in HGSS while we were driving to some specific location in Yosemite. The combination of all those specific variables resulted in one of many memories that causes such nostalgia nowadays that it makes me yearn for another camping trip. Last time we had one was back in October 2018. God how I wish to relive those memories. Long story short, the DSi XL and 3DS just might be some of my favorite systems to ever come out from Nintendo.
still using the exact same dsixl as you showcased in the video, softmodded with a bunch of emulators, had it since a kid these dsi handhelds are so worth the purchase
I've had this bad boy since around the time it came out. The fountain pen stylus is nice, but I haven't used it in years since it's too much of a hassle to carry around. (I used to have a protective case that had a spot to put the fountain pen stylus, which was pretty convenient!)
I have a yellow one around somewhere, but I broke the hinge and haven't used it since June of 2020. I since replaced it with a regular sized DSi with Flipnote Studio installed in the meantime.
I was confused as to why Scott was calling that stylus green, but then I remembered he’s colorblind
maybe i’m colourblind but that looks a little green just a less saturated green
I’m colorblind as well. Looks green
@@birdley interesting. Looks brown to me.
I see brown
As a colorblind person, it looks green but the kind of green you would see in your vomit or feces after a bad night.
As a proud owner of the divorced mum's wine-red DSi XL, the very existence of this thing chills me to the bone.
Appealing to the elderly and broken couples. The DSi XL sure knows how to appeal to the terrified adult awaiting inside all of us.
@@myriadmediamusings science is fun, isn't it

Scott being pissed that his DSi is used is an actual mood.
biggest “I liked this band before it was cool” moment I will ever experience
Not just nerd rage, but also the rage of being ripped off - Scott's confidence in its supposed newness tells me he was sold a lie.
He should absolutely demand a refund.
I mean, buying something that’s labeled as new costs more, so if I paid extra because it was new and you found out it wasn’t new I also would be upset
Oh hey clikkie!
I don’t like how DS lites look anymore. DSi looked the best to me, it’s matte, has 3 colored lights and its so aesthetically pleasing.
I always thought the DSi’s were more pleasing and was upset I never had one of the OG DSi’s

You should make a Nintendo Switchware Chronicles cause theres a lot of garbage on the Eshop that would be funny to see in a Scott the Woz video.
Hey I bought this one recently! Really dig playing ds games on it. The screen quality is amaaaazzing
I recently watched your video on your game closet, and have now gotten into collecting consoles. Gosh dang it I now spend more on consoles so I can have the box and all the little accessories and manuals...

I literally have this EXACT console with the same games installed
This was actually my very first DSi console and I loved it to bits. I made so many memories through pictures, recordings and even Flipnotes. It survived so many falls and drops from my clumsy child self... Unfortunately though, it met its demise after a scuffle I had with my step sibling in which she broke it with a hammer. I am planning on getting another one some day in the future just to relive those days 🥺
This nostalgic console was my favorite system back in my childhood. I used to be proud for owning this exact edition of the console since it was better than any other dsi that my friends or family had lol.
I like when scott got the brown stylus out and said "Why is it green"
I bought this color variation a couple years ago, but it didn’t have flipnote on it (bought after the shop closed down) so I traded it for a Mario 25th anniversary red DSI that did have it
Needless to say I wish I kept the blue one and just softmodded it to get Flipnote :P
Flipnote is very important to be fair
Bought the midnight blue dsi xl
Never open before mint in new condition.
DS games look so good
I have that same DSi XL model!(of course mine was bought new so it had the correct stylus) barely use it now since I have my 3ds but I use it occasionally just to see what's on it and look back at all the pictures I took.
I have the special edition Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary DSi XL and it's one of my most cherished possessions, and I think a good chunk of my love towards it comes from its photo-taking capabilities. Not only have I played so many wonderful games on that thing, but I took so many pictures on it when I was little. So many great games *and* memories are both packed in that thing and all my 3DSes. And by memories I mean both captured with that camera and captured with my mind. I always took It on our yearly family camping trips and played it while we drove around places like Yosemite. Those memories have been burned into my memory forever, one of them being me wearing my earbuds and listening to Ecruteak City's theme play on loop in HGSS while we were driving to some specific location in Yosemite. The combination of all those specific variables resulted in one of many memories that causes such nostalgia nowadays that it makes me yearn for another camping trip. Last time we had one was back in October 2018. God how I wish to relive those memories.
Long story short, the DSi XL and 3DS just might be some of my favorite systems to ever come out from Nintendo.
Damn it Debbie
still using the exact same dsixl as you showcased in the video, softmodded with a bunch of emulators, had it since a kid these dsi handhelds are so worth the purchase

The word “Midnight” sounds like you’d only be able to buy it at a GameStop near Walmart only at midnight
I've had this bad boy since around the time it came out. The fountain pen stylus is nice, but I haven't used it in years since it's too much of a hassle to carry around. (I used to have a protective case that had a spot to put the fountain pen stylus, which was pretty convenient!)
I had this one growing up. still have it. it's super nice
I have a yellow one around somewhere, but I broke the hinge and haven't used it since June of 2020. I since replaced it with a regular sized DSi with Flipnote Studio installed in the meantime.
His favourite color isn't blue...?
This is how I discovered porn
Got the same color as a kid back in 2010. Loved it so much. I still have it actually!
That Mario DS lite was my childhood, I remember getting it for christmas one year. Love to see it.
