I'm still playing Pokemon Red on a GameBoy. In 1999 I didn't have any friends to trade with so this year a work colleague gave me his copy of Blue and loaned me his GameBoy so I could finally complete the Pokedex (work in progress) I only got a 3DS maybe 3 years ago and still haven't used all the features yet. I was mad that by the time I got Pokemon Black the DS Lite's online features were discontinued...
The day when Nintendo finally completely give up on the 3DS is gonna be so surreal, the DS has been selling since I was just a kid and I can't imagine the gaming market without it really
Just reading this is weird. I can still kind of remember the time when the N64 and later PS1 came out or how people were hyped about the first pokemon games. The DS came out when I was already almost 13. Still got it of course.
I remember first getting a DS for my birtday, it had this animal adoption game (not Nintendogs, though I had that later) and I never sold the dogs even though that was the whole point. I remember weird mini games to make the dogs more adoptable too, like jumping hurdles and popping bubbles. It was called Puppy Palace and Idk how I found it via Google search. Man I'm getting flashbacks
my aunt would steal my old dsi and try to get on the internet, she already had a laptop to do that on though, why the heck would she want to use a dsi instead of her laptop? simple, she didn't want her weed orders on her search history
I remember taking my 3DS to a certain amusement park just to film the parade backwards, lol. I also remember playing a certain game on it in my grandma's car on a trip to Hersheypark, and there was something in it that scared me to bits, and made my family have to calm me down... lol

@@54356776 It's the only Nintendo game system I've ever owned other than the Nintendo 64. I played the original Famicom at a friend's house as a child when I lived in Japan but only played games on computer for a long time, other than buying a Dreamcast and a bunch of games when they were being liquidated after the failure of the system. In the last year, though, got a used Playstation 3, used Vita, and refurbished New 3DS XL to try some of the exclusive games I'd heard about but never got to play. Currently playing Shin Megami Tensei IV, which is only the second game in that series I've played. (Got the Vita specifically because of the great things I had heard about Persona 4 Golden, which I ended up loving.)
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 My PS3 is by far my most used console. I also use my PS2 for PS1/2 games as my phat PS3 died and my mother took the PS1 when she left the country.
@@SobrietyandSolace I got it in part because I wanted to finally try the Yakuza series, and right after I got it they finally started releasing them on PC! But I'm still glad I got it.
So you mean to tell me that a grown man in his 40s or 50s would purchase a ds or dsi for the SOLE PURPOSE of scouting out young children and talking to them WHILE DRIVING... seems legit.
You forgot to mention that the New Nintendo 3DS also had a built in Amiibo reader, while the earlier iterations needed an external device to read them.
There's just something about Nintendo handhelds that make them seem very friendly and easy to use. It doesn't look intimidating like the PSP as the design is more simple and sleek. It's a device for everyone and not just a targeted audience and that's why I love their company so much.
@@valletasprobably because the PSP looks like the gamers thing and doesn't look friendly for casual players or at least that's how it was at the time for many people around me. I thought it was kinda dumb but looking at it back it does look futuristic and gamer heavy just like the playstation 5 is for casual people these days
I had one like that, but sadly it was left behind when I moved places (due to reasons I don't need to get into). The floppy hinge was kinda funny though, it made me laugh.
Kiwi Yeah, my friend had the same problem. Until at some point, the top screen completely fell off. She just shoved it back in its base and it was still functional, albeit with the colors occasionally being off. These systems could really take a hit.
sim rat my parents got it for 100 on Craigslist back in 2011 and it was all new when I opened the box. Sadly, they would have to sell my old ds lite for 90
I didn’t even know the “New Nintendo 3DS” was even a thing. I literally thought they were saying the 3Ds was just a “new” console or something. I wasn’t keeping up with any of the new stuff at the time and totally glanced over it.
I had to wait until early 2017 to be able to get my hands on a "Smaller" New 3DS because the only North American versions of the faceplate swappable model were the Super Mario Black/White editions released for Black Friday 2016.
Well, if you had/have the GBA, you could play GBA, Gameboy Colour and OG Gameboy games. Now THAT is a library. If you had/have a GBA and 3DS, you have the ability to play 5 generations of games! That's incredible for just two devices.
The only thing it is missing is GBA games but apparently, if you get a 3DS hacked it is literally the best GBA emulator, or at least on par with the original DS which means it plays them flawlessly. I am gonna save up to grab a hacked console, load up every game I love from my childhood with the greats of GBA to the greats of the 3DS, and store it in a nice dry-cool-safe place for my future kids or my future niece/nephew. They aren't growing up on mobile game garbage. They are getting the good sh*t when they leave the house. Everything from Harvest Moon & Rune Factory, to (Gen 3&4) Pokemon, to Kid Icarus Uprising, even Megaman Battle Network and FF Tactics Advanced. I just haven't decided if I will throw trash licensed games on there since I don't think we will ever see another Shrek Kart 2 port and that is a good way to teach the difference between sh*t and quality.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 honestely the 3ds gba emulator suffers from a lot of slowdown and you are better off emulating it on a psp or your phone ( and this is coming from someone who has both a 3ds and a gba) Maybe it is better on new 3ds but i doubt it
Using one too. Specifically the Pokeball edition New 2DS XL. The top button is addicting to press, even though it does nothing but make satisfying clicks
and yeah, it had a lot of potential, but it wasn’t used that much. i think the biggest things it can do now compared to older 3DSs is run UA-cam and 2015 Minecraft PE, but it hadn’t been promoted as much as it should’ve been.
I just realised DS stood for Duel Screen? I've owned a DS system since I was 8 and I only just realised that. My parents also fell for that news story and I was banned from Pictochat until I was 12.
Same but I'm more of a player of old games anyway so I should be fine until the next console comes out and I can finally afford a switch. I rarely ever had the newest thing until the next newest thing came out.
I kinda like the switch but in my opinion it lacks many features and good games, i really liked the wiiU even if everyone hated it and i spent thousands of hours on my 3dsXL an i just cant get myself to like the switch and the games it offers but i guess im just used to the older nintendo consoles
Imo the Switch is such a cool concept that I’m fine with the handheld legacy ending like this (though the Switch does have a few issues like joycon drift)
@@NimhLabs just get one Nintendo is anyways due to a recent class action lawsuit anyways forced to replace joycons if they drift. Failure to do so might get switches recalled and even worse for Nintendo federally sued 😥.
I love my 2ds xl. It’s been really sad the last few years watching certain features go away. It’s been forever since they added new themes, Nikki doesn’t send swap doodles anymore, I don’t get gifts from Phyllis is acnl anymore, miiverse is gone, badge arcade just loops the same sets. For me that’s the saddest part of consoles being phased out. I’m sure someday they will shut down online services for it too.
@@MintleafCakes I've had over 12 DS's. I bought them all myself as a kid, same with my 30+ games. Even in an abusive environment, I was stubborn. I wanted a DS, and I damn well got one. I never regretted buying it. Nintendo can stop making DS games if they want, but the games that were made are so timeless I could play them over and over. My DS was one of the few things that was really mine. My DS was my whole childhood, and every day I love it even more than I did before.😄
@@jaxayesa5478 Wow, that's really cool! I'm glad you managed to get your hands on so much, regardless of the circumstances. I believe I've had a total of 9 systems in the family? I'd have to go back through memory, but I know that I at least had two 2ds systems (both broke after a few months, they didn't really last very long), a New 3ds XL (my mom sold that for drug money), and a DS lite that I had gotten from a family friend who didn't use it anymore (that was left with my mom as well, I wouldn't be surprised if it got the same fate as the New 3ds XL). I do still play on the 5 that I have with me though, and I have a lot of fun playing the games I've had throughout childhood. I hope to continue it for awhile. 😊
@@MintleafCakes I'm glad too. Buying a DS was the best decision I ever made tbh. ACNL and Pokemon were my escape, and I know that people may call this out as BS, but my DS was one of the few reasons I didn't give up. When you have nothing, even small things are EVERYTHING. I have fond memories of hiding my closet playing XY. Unafraid of the yelling outside. All I saw was my Greninja :) They couldn't take it away either, I bought it myself and they knew better than to try. I'll never stop playing my DS, and I'll never give it up. I'll keep buying them until Nintendo stops building them.
Switch Lite is a home console that doesn't connect to a television though. Since Switch Lite is a Switch, and Switch is a home console that only replaces the failed Wii U (a home console), it's kind of retarded a home console doesn't output to a television...
Solar well I meant as a gaming platform the screen is horizontal rectangle I find it a little annoying especially when the game moves and it gives that sense of depth by no means the switch is amazing but I don’t like screen
No. Having been someone who used Nintendo consoles/emulators solely to play Pokémon games, over the course of time I've found that DS and GBA have much larger and better library of games than I ever thought, and when you compare Pokémon to it, it just comes out as overrated, and even though I love Pokémon games myself even today, I hate the fact that it overshadows other great titles released on these consoles. The Legend of Zelda games, Metroid games, Castlevania games, The World ends with you, Golden Sun, Super Mario games, Shin Megami Tensei, 999, etc. I could be going on forever.
The 2DS is actually a lot sturdier as well. My siblings and I went through so many 3DS consoles and DS consoles because they kept snapping in half. I still have my 2DS, and I got it at launch.
@@TheCandoRailfan Lol right, you have to be really careless to break one of these. I still have my DS lite with a cracked hinge from 2006 and it never broke
I'm gonna be using my 2DS XL into the foreseeable future because the Art Academy games are a lifesaver for me. Being a self taught artist in the U.S. where college is a scam designed to put young people in debt forever... Finding out about the XL ds and the art academy games seriously felt like god answered my prayers.
@@lordgreeb6349 when education is done for profit and not the benefit of society, it's a scam. Some countries offer education that is free or truly affordable and i'm sure it only enriches the lives of those who have access to it.
When the 3DS came out (I was 11), I was so BLOWN AWAY by the 3D feature and I spent all my savings on it on release day. And seriously - I do hold on to that opinion. I barely ever play without 3D, I just really love it. Interesting that you liked street pass that much. I barely met anyone in all the years. You probably have to travel or live in a big city.
I legit thought that I was literally the only one who actually liked the 3D feature. Heck back in late 2019, I was really deciding on which N3DS system that I wanted to upgrade to and long story short, I got the small New 3DS just for that reason, as well as the system just not being a fingerprint magnet.
I’ve never played with the 3D mode on because it’s just a pain in my eyes.. But I also hate watching 3D movies in the cinema, so my body seems to be simply not made for that
Fr, got it back in 2012 and was sooo obsessed with it. Also nowadays love the fact that me and my sister used to record many voice recordings on it, so crazy to hear them after 8 years.
I have a dsi XL and I’m gonna get a 2ds for my bday in September so I can play a Pokemon game cuz I never played one when I was younger. I’m gonna be 14 and still rly wanna play Pokemon 😂
I remember the days when everybody had a DS. R.I.P 3DS. :( Now everybody has to spend twice as much money on a switch just to play local multiplayer with your friends. I'm not saying you can't play local multiplayer on a 3DS but now it's hard because everybody has a switch instead.
@@Omfcody1 what? Just... Think about it, the controls, also we don't have a dual screen on the switch, how would it work?! You need to think things thorough before saying them
@@alialpaca I have zero issues emulating the DS on my phone not sure why someone would think the switch is so different? And there's literally an official emulator on the Wii U so I'm not sure where you're coming from at all. The 2DS also only has one screen.
What I'm worried about is when it eventually does end and all the games prices plummet but then skyrocket coz of nostalgic people and collectors. Also imo the ds just works better than the switch. The switch isn't portable enough if u get me
My 3ds xl hinge literally crumbled in my hands like 2 months ago. I hadnt played it in a while and was excited to play some animal crossing. I open it and immediately the top screen swings down to one side, the plastic now in my hand. They wont even fix them anymore if you send it to nintendo. But I love my 3ds xl so I gorilla glued that bitch open.
YEEEEESSS, someone talking about how good kid icarus is, I am going to cry ;w; I love that game so much I even expendent more than 200 hours trying to beat all leveles in max difficulty ;w;
No other consoles even the ones from Nintendo until now can surprise nor excites me more than the NDS back then.. Playing games on a console with 2 different screens simultaneously just a truly pure excitement
3:47 Yeah.... No. You have to be 30 ft away in and both a picto chat open. The most you take it to school and talk to someone in front of the classroom
I've sat through the entirety of the a little bit more than 24 minutes of your video... For me, that says a lot about the quality of your work. Kudos from Brazil!
It made me feel old until I realised that I was 13 when the 3DS came out making me only 2 years older than him. It still doesn't feel like that long ago.
I've been back at my parents house for the holidays and found my old stash of ds games. That is probably the console I have the most games on. So much nostalgia.
Damn I'm so glad I was a Nintendo kid. I witnessed the making of a revolutionary gaming history Also also. I still use my new 3DS and with some games not being in 3D...is kinda wack. I bought style savvy on the eshop and I expected it to be in 3d and boy was I wrong and pretty pissed
DS gave me two of my favorite games of all time, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 and Etrian Odyssey. That and playing with my brother and sister as they grew up with stuff like Mario Kart or visiting their towns in Animal Crossing was something very memorable that I'll cherish from these handhelds. I hope Nintendo doesn't give up on the idea of a dedicated handheld for smaller projects or more niche interests/ games that rely on the second screen/ etc.
This hits hard. Your dad seemed like an awesome guy. Its amazing how he recorded so many wholesome memories throughout your life. My father has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 bile duct cancer and I've been scared myself of losing him. I'm in my early 20s and I guess I've been using entertainment as escapism myself through childhood 3DS games and 2010s. cartoons. It feels weird knowing that it some situations, you can't do anything to prevent losing the people you love.
I had a 2DS when I was younger. It was the first handheld I payed for myself as a teenager. Yes it wasn't perfect but it only cost me £99 with Pokémon X so I was happy.
I prefer 2DS over 3DS. You couldn't beat the price at all. $80- $100 new with a game like Pokemon X, Mario Maker 3DS, or Mario Kart 7. 2ds also was easier to mod. I've got like 60 3DS games, the libraries of Nes and Snes, and every Pokemon game from Original Game Boy through Game Boy Color.
This video brings sooo many memories when I was a kid. In school on parties, a group of 7 would get together and play Mario Kart and have a blast. I’d take my DS XL EVERYWHERE. I’d also remember playing all tons of games with my friends on the Wii on every house. I have to admit, being a big tech nerd of Apple, Samsung, Google etc, Nintendo still has a soft spot in my heart and will always do. Now with my Switch, I can continue making a lot more fun memories with my friends. Hell, even my awesome and badass teacher owns a Switch and all of my friends try to beat him on Smash Bros.
The DSi was the first device I ever played on, before I even started playing my dad’s Xbox 360 when I was 5. Very nostalgic. Later, in 2013 I think, I got the 3DS XL, the red one. I still play both my 3ds and my old dsi to this day.
The name 'New 3DS' was probably chosen after the confusion of the Wii U, which people thought was just an add-on to the Wii. Nintendo wanted to avoid that level of confusion at all costs.
To be fair the 'new' 3ds deal was still kind of confusing especially when shopping online. I got a 'New' 2ds last year because my 3ds screen is pretty scratched up.
I've loved the Nintendo handhelds ever since Gameboy Advance. The original DS was pretty revolutionary when it first released. I have so many found memories of using roms on it in high school. lol 3DS was fine but the 3D aspect was just a gimmick to me.
@@trymsan4368 I hear the 3d actually lowers the battery life by 1 hour so I never used it. Also I couldn't really use the 3d on the old one because I kept moving the screen too much and it messed up the effect. If anything, I would try the 3d on the new 3ds where I hear they changed the 3d so it would work at all angles
Nintendo doctor: I’m sorry to say but we have to put the 3ds down Me: try’s to hold in my tears 3ds: is everything okay buddy...? Me: shhhh it’s okay.. I love you buddy you been here since day one. *hugs 3ds* now close your eyes 3ds: okay buddy Nintendo Doctor: * pulls plug* I’m sorry for your lost. he was very strong Me: starts crying Rip: 3ds you will always be with us
I got the new Nintendo Animal crossing addition. But, I continue to play on my 3DS, gameboy advance, and gameboy color to this day. It was my childhood so how could I just throw it away. I love them all and they are legendary
Woah the DS was that durable? I recall sneaking my 3DS into school and while I was packing up to go home, my 3DS was sitting on the top of the locker so that when I was done, I could keep playing. Unfortunately things didn’t exactly work out in my favor and the 3DS fell from the top of the locker and shut off permanently. If I pressed the power button, it would just turn on and then shut back off. I had to get a new one.
Personally, I really prefer the 2ds xl out of all of these handhold systems (not counting the switch). Also, this was a really great video! Lots of really interesting information here
Making the DS still accept Advance carts was the biggest plus for the system.
With a cfw you can play any gba ,gbc and gb on your 3ds.the 3ds can run gba perfectly, idk why nintendo didnt use this.
BART NAIL yeah but some people don’t wanna hack their 3DS illegally and risk having it bricked
@@dialaforawesome Hacking it became legal in America a couple of years ago, and the risk of bricking's practically none now.
@Hippo Pilot By the way, the Gamefreak thing's false. The game doesn't even have the permissions needed to write to the NAND.

“$250 at launch” i got mine for $6 at a garage sale😂
Jimmy Cat526 my family paid 300 for the 3ds but a while later Nintendo lowered the price due to the launch not selling fast enough
Same 💀 my dad got mine from the flea market 😭 memories
Payed 250€ for mine at release and like 4 weeks later it went down to like 180€ or so 😅
I remember when it was 250 when it first came out it never sold good so they lowered it to 200 then 170 last time I checked
sim rat my parents got it for 100 on Craigslist back in 2011 and it was all new when I opened the box. Sadly, they would have to sell my old ds lite for 90
I didn’t even know the “New Nintendo 3DS” was even a thing. I literally thought they were saying the 3Ds was just a “new” console or something. I wasn’t keeping up with any of the new stuff at the time and totally glanced over it.
SAME. i got a new 3ds xl for christmas and its incredible.
I had to wait until early 2017 to be able to get my hands on a "Smaller" New 3DS because the only North American versions of the faceplate swappable model were the Super Mario Black/White editions released for Black Friday 2016.
DINOSAUR OFFICE WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST THING ON THE 3DS FIGHT ME LMAO
Wish I didn't format my 3DS XL when I got my New 3DS XL.
Too bad they erased it on the [NEW] versions.
MintleafCakes I know right
@@arianamarie8442 yeah
Dinosaur office, now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.
Legit streetpass was the coolest thing I used it so much
I'm sad many no longer use their 3ds. I loved getting new streetpass puzzles.
I still actively use it to this day, though I haven't found anyone since February 13th, 2017. :[ But I'll never give up!
Same here
I also use it to this day amd there is a girl in my school that also has a 3ds. I don't know who she is though
my school is 3ds heavy (or some of it) and im so happy. i get frequent streetpass notifications everyday.

I have a flashcard for my DSLite so all my favourites and lots of obscure puzzle titles on there

IMO, between the backwards compatibility, ports, and the eShop, the 3DS has the greatest game library of all time.
Well, if you had/have the GBA, you could play GBA, Gameboy Colour and OG Gameboy games. Now THAT is a library. If you had/have a GBA and 3DS, you have the ability to play 5 generations of games! That's incredible for just two devices.
Yeah, the og DS already had a great library, but the 3DS was that and more.
The only thing it is missing is GBA games but apparently, if you get a 3DS hacked it is literally the best GBA emulator, or at least on par with the original DS which means it plays them flawlessly.
I am gonna save up to grab a hacked console, load up every game I love from my childhood with the greats of GBA to the greats of the 3DS, and store it in a nice dry-cool-safe place for my future kids or my future niece/nephew.
They aren't growing up on mobile game garbage. They are getting the good sh*t when they leave the house. Everything from Harvest Moon & Rune Factory, to (Gen 3&4) Pokemon, to Kid Icarus Uprising, even Megaman Battle Network and FF Tactics Advanced. I just haven't decided if I will throw trash licensed games on there since I don't think we will ever see another Shrek Kart 2 port and that is a good way to teach the difference between sh*t and quality.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 honestely the 3ds gba emulator suffers from a lot of slowdown and you are better off emulating it on a psp or your phone ( and this is coming from someone who has both a 3ds and a gba)
Maybe it is better on new 3ds but i doubt it
@@valletas you can just inject gba roms and play them as virtual console cia files
The DS Lite is also known as my „childhood“
The "C" on "DSI" stands for childhood
Am I the only one who thinks that the "new" 3ds was underused?
Im just using it
Alan Brito i am using it 2. But you mean Nintendo didn’t juice it out .
Using one too. Specifically the Pokeball edition New 2DS XL. The top button is addicting to press, even though it does nothing but make satisfying clicks
AquaticChaos i wish that did something lmao, it would be so expensive though
and yeah, it had a lot of potential, but it wasn’t used that much. i think the biggest things it can do now compared to older 3DSs is run UA-cam and 2015 Minecraft PE, but it hadn’t been promoted as much as it should’ve been.
I just realised DS stood for Duel Screen?
I've owned a DS system since I was 8 and I only just realised that.
My parents also fell for that news story and I was banned from Pictochat until I was 12.
i have owned a ds for many years and i found that out TONIGHT. amazing! (multiple ds actually
Nintendo said DS stand for both Duel Screen and Developer System
It can also stand fir downward spural if you've gone as deep down the DS rabbit hole as I have
Shit, just look up SNES, lol. I remember using that pictochat when i was younger and thinking fat chance 😂😅
You think DS stands for Dual screens, but according to Nintendo, the “DS” stands for developers software.

I'm literally playing Smash 4 on my 3ds rn. This hurts, I'm too broke for a switch :(
Same but I'm more of a player of old games anyway so I should be fine until the next console comes out and I can finally afford a switch. I rarely ever had the newest thing until the next newest thing came out.
Switch is a great console too :3 I love both.
Same. I enjoy playing Smash 4 3ds.
Plus they're expensive as hell
So happy I got a switch when the ds ship started sinking
I hope the Switch's life is just as long and successful.
KryptKicker5 me too. It’s a great system and has a ton of potential.
I kinda like the switch but in my opinion it lacks many features and good games, i really liked the wiiU even if everyone hated it and i spent thousands of hours on my 3dsXL an i just cant get myself to like the switch and the games it offers but i guess im just used to the older nintendo consoles
@@benedict3403 yeah I liked Nintendo land and Im wanted a game like that on the Switch

@@yunogasai1338 mine are definitely not printing worthy, but i would like to save them😂
You can just save them to an SD card and transfer it to a computer.
Imo the Switch is such a cool concept that I’m fine with the handheld legacy ending like this (though the Switch does have a few issues like joycon drift)
LOL
The Joycon Drift is causing me to wait on purchasing a Switch.
There are still plenty of games on 3DS that I still have in my back log.

@@downtownsasquatch same lol but i still dont have it because it doesnt sell in my country
I love my 2ds xl. It’s been really sad the last few years watching certain features go away. It’s been forever since they added new themes, Nikki doesn’t send swap doodles anymore, I don’t get gifts from Phyllis is acnl anymore, miiverse is gone, badge arcade just loops the same sets. For me that’s the saddest part of consoles being phased out. I’m sure someday they will shut down online services for it too.
Someone found my DS Lite in a couch yesterday, what does this mean?
Means you get to replay some classics!

Such a legendary console. My first DS lite got lost somehow but I still have a DSi and a new 3DS in my drawer. Nintendo really nailed it with these

@@MintleafCakes I've had over 12 DS's. I bought them all myself as a kid, same with my 30+ games.
Even in an abusive environment, I was stubborn. I wanted a DS, and I damn well got one. I never regretted buying it.
Nintendo can stop making DS games if they want, but the games that were made are so timeless I could play them over and over. My DS was one of the few things that was really mine.
My DS was my whole childhood, and every day I love it even more than I did before.😄
@@jaxayesa5478 Wow, that's really cool! I'm glad you managed to get your hands on so much, regardless of the circumstances. I believe I've had a total of 9 systems in the family? I'd have to go back through memory, but I know that I at least had two 2ds systems (both broke after a few months, they didn't really last very long), a New 3ds XL (my mom sold that for drug money), and a DS lite that I had gotten from a family friend who didn't use it anymore (that was left with my mom as well, I wouldn't be surprised if it got the same fate as the New 3ds XL). I do still play on the 5 that I have with me though, and I have a lot of fun playing the games I've had throughout childhood. I hope to continue it for awhile. 😊
@@MintleafCakes I'm glad too. Buying a DS was the best decision I ever made tbh.
ACNL and Pokemon were my escape, and I know that people may call this out as BS, but my DS was one of the few reasons I didn't give up. When you have nothing, even small things are EVERYTHING.
I have fond memories of hiding my closet playing XY. Unafraid of the yelling outside. All I saw was my Greninja :)
They couldn't take it away either, I bought it myself and they knew better than to try.
I'll never stop playing my DS, and I'll never give it up. I'll keep buying them until Nintendo stops building them.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they kept making 3DS games but I feel like people want the 3DS to die because of the Switch.
Switch Lite is a home console that doesn't connect to a television though. Since Switch Lite is a Switch, and Switch is a home console that only replaces the failed Wii U (a home console), it's kind of retarded a home console doesn't output to a television...
SuperSmashMaster43 the switch is okay but it’s better as a console in my opinion the rectangle screen makes me feel a little dizzy
And for handheld I want the switch to fuck off.
@@fourleafclover2377 How does a rectangular screen make you dizzy don't you use TV's or Laptops or even Phone's😵😵
Solar well I meant as a gaming platform the screen is horizontal rectangle I find it a little annoying especially when the game moves and it gives that sense of depth by no means the switch is amazing but I don’t like screen

No. Having been someone who used Nintendo consoles/emulators solely to play Pokémon games, over the course of time I've found that DS and GBA have much larger and better library of games than I ever thought, and when you compare Pokémon to it, it just comes out as overrated, and even though I love Pokémon games myself even today, I hate the fact that it overshadows other great titles released on these consoles. The Legend of Zelda games, Metroid games, Castlevania games, The World ends with you, Golden Sun, Super Mario games, Shin Megami Tensei, 999, etc. I could be going on forever.

Nintendo: doesnt want to make bigger 2DS
Also Nintendo: 3DS XL
Michelle Barraclough they did make a 2ds xl but its not flat
The 3ds xl isn't a bigger 3ds, it's just an updated version of the original DS design.
When the 3DS came out (I was 11), I was so BLOWN AWAY by the 3D feature and I spent all my savings on it on release day. And seriously - I do hold on to that opinion. I barely ever play without 3D, I just really love it.
Interesting that you liked street pass that much. I barely met anyone in all the years. You probably have to travel or live in a big city.
I legit thought that I was literally the only one who actually liked the 3D feature.
Heck back in late 2019, I was really deciding on which N3DS system that I wanted to upgrade to and long story short, I got the small New 3DS just for that reason, as well as the system just not being a fingerprint magnet.
I’ve never played with the 3D mode on because it’s just a pain in my eyes.. But I also hate watching 3D movies in the cinema, so my body seems to be simply not made for that
Fr, got it back in 2012 and was sooo obsessed with it. Also nowadays love the fact that me and my sister used to record many voice recordings on it, so crazy to hear them after 8 years.
I never was allowed to have a 3DS. I was only allowed to use the DS lite and 2DS.
Frankly - I even miss the 3D feature on my switch 😂

@@Omfcody1 because you have an emulator, but they're really uncomfortable to use.
Still missing this era, DS especially
Here's the lesson everyone: History always repeat itself.
What I'm worried about is when it eventually does end and all the games prices plummet but then skyrocket coz of nostalgic people and collectors. Also imo the ds just works better than the switch. The switch isn't portable enough if u get me
just use a hole puncher and then you can put your switch on a key ring
I agree, the switch is just too wide. You have to carry around a bulky case or a backpack, I can fit the 2DS xl in my pocket.
The switch gets scratched up on the screen if you try to carry it in your pocket. The switch isn't as enjoyable as the 3ds to me.
No body cares

I did get dsi over 3ds because of that but I honestly prefer the dsi now
Usually youtubers talk about having n64s when they're 11
It made me feel old until I realised that I was 13 when the 3DS came out making me only 2 years older than him.
It still doesn't feel like that long ago.
I've been back at my parents house for the holidays and found my old stash of ds games. That is probably the console I have the most games on. So much nostalgia.
Damn I'm so glad I was a Nintendo kid. I witnessed the making of a revolutionary gaming history
Also also. I still use my new 3DS and with some games not being in 3D...is kinda wack. I bought style savvy on the eshop and I expected it to be in 3d and boy was I wrong and pretty pissed
SAME! Seeing the music videos on style savvy in 3D would've been so cool 😭
God. The DS is my childhood. Hope getting a Switch feels kind of similar.
DS gave me two of my favorite games of all time, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 and Etrian Odyssey. That and playing with my brother and sister as they grew up with stuff like Mario Kart or visiting their towns in Animal Crossing was something very memorable that I'll cherish from these handhelds. I hope Nintendo doesn't give up on the idea of a dedicated handheld for smaller projects or more niche interests/ games that rely on the second screen/ etc.

Ur comment warmed my hurt bro... I just remember buying my first handheld, DS Lite from my money and its so dear to me.
I prefer 2DS over 3DS. You couldn't beat the price at all. $80- $100 new with a game like Pokemon X, Mario Maker 3DS, or Mario Kart 7. 2ds also was easier to mod. I've got like 60 3DS games, the libraries of Nes and Snes, and every Pokemon game from Original Game Boy through Game Boy Color.
This video brings sooo many memories when I was a kid. In school on parties, a group of 7 would get together and play Mario Kart and have a blast. I’d take my DS XL EVERYWHERE. I’d also remember playing all tons of games with my friends on the Wii on every house. I have to admit, being a big tech nerd of Apple, Samsung, Google etc, Nintendo still has a soft spot in my heart and will always do. Now with my Switch, I can continue making a lot more fun memories with my friends. Hell, even my awesome and badass teacher owns a Switch and all of my friends try to beat him on Smash Bros.
Lets all take a moment to remember the ds may it rest in peace
God this hurt a bit to see in recommendations
The DSi was the first device I ever played on, before I even started playing my dad’s Xbox 360 when I was 5. Very nostalgic.
Later, in 2013 I think, I got the 3DS XL, the red one. I still play both my 3ds and my old dsi to this day.
The name 'New 3DS' was probably chosen after the confusion of the Wii U, which people thought was just an add-on to the Wii. Nintendo wanted to avoid that level of confusion at all costs.
That's very understandable.
To be fair the 'new' 3ds deal was still kind of confusing especially when shopping online. I got a 'New' 2ds last year because my 3ds screen is pretty scratched up.
I've loved the Nintendo handhelds ever since Gameboy Advance. The original DS was pretty revolutionary when it first released. I have so many found memories of using roms on it in high school. lol
3DS was fine but the 3D aspect was just a gimmick to me.
I dont think I know a single person who valued the 3d in the 3ds lol, people just wanted the games including me
@@nyeh7205 I barely play without the 3d. Though since I have the old 3DS, I kinda just have to turn it off sometimes when I'm on the go.
@@trymsan4368 I hear the 3d actually lowers the battery life by 1 hour so I never used it. Also I couldn't really use the 3d on the old one because I kept moving the screen too much and it messed up the effect. If anything, I would try the 3d on the new 3ds where I hear they changed the 3d so it would work at all angles
I love the 3D. It's a gimmick, yes, but it's a cool gimmick, and it doesn't harm the console. Don't want it? Just turn it off.
That's why I opted for the 2DS. You also couldn't beat getting a 2ds with Mario Kart 7 for $80- $100
When I was like 5 or 6? I got a ds in this gross salmon pink color haha. I really miss it honestly! I spent so many hours on that thing
Nintendo doctor: I’m sorry to say but we have to put the 3ds down
Me: try’s to hold in my tears

3ds: okay buddy
Nintendo Doctor: * pulls plug* I’m sorry for your lost. he was very strong

I got the new Nintendo Animal crossing addition. But, I continue to play on my 3DS, gameboy advance, and gameboy color to this day.
It was my childhood so how could I just throw it away. I love them all and they are legendary
Woah the DS was that durable? I recall sneaking my 3DS into school and while I was packing up to go home, my 3DS was sitting on the top of the locker so that when I was done, I could keep playing. Unfortunately things didn’t exactly work out in my favor and the 3DS fell from the top of the locker and shut off permanently. If I pressed the power button, it would just turn on and then shut back off. I had to get a new one.
Personally, I really prefer the 2ds xl out of all of these handhold systems (not counting the switch). Also, this was a really great video! Lots of really interesting information here
I have not thought about dinosour office in years, thank you
