I've been playing Picross 3D in my pastime for about half a year now and currently trying to complete all the levels with three stars. I've never cried over mis-tapping a block until I played this game. The amount of pain and anguish this game has caused me is exhaustive and by the time I complete the final hard levels, I'm never playing this game again. 10/10
Breaking the wrong block was an instant restart for me. I’ve also got two 100% complete save files on Round 2. I love it but it has less content than the first one disappointedly
@@CartersRemasters it is quite true, Serbia separated from Montenegro and declared independence on the same day when the touch generations brand began
I mean, Serbia has existed for centuries and has been independent more than once. You're also arguably choosing an arbitrary definition of "independent". If splitting from Yugoslavia didn't make them independent again yet splitting from Montenegro did, then what about the attempted but not-yet-complete split by Kosovo?
Many MANY hours sunk into every single activity in rhythm heaven, elite beat agents, brain age, nintendos, and hotel dusk (as well as layton etc) and man i wouldn't change anything... i had endless fun. Thanks (old) nintendo and rest in peace to one of the ultimate visionaries Satoru Iwata, who I believe was the true heart of nintendo. Thanks for the great video Scott and merry Christmas!
I probably wouldn't be a ""gamer"" without a lot of these games and the DS in general getting me into gaming. As a kid I wouldn't have been able to ask for a proper 'gamer' console, but a DS was totally fine because all the marketing made it look really appealing to kids. And then my dad got me a flashcart and a whole load of ROMs for various games, and it spiralled from there... I'm currently typing this on a steam deck, so it definitely got me into gaming successfully!
As someone whose first video game was Professor Layton and the Curious Village, it was definitely approachable, and really was how I got into gaming. Would love to see Scott cover the whole series, to give it the recognition it deserves.
As a Hotel Dusk archivist, thank you for featuring the game! The game is also Touch Generations in Canada, and also has a Korean release. Currently am working to get all region release copies for public archival. I agree that it is not exactly a casual styled game, as it can be hard to pick it back after a while if you do not remember what you did or write it down, and even some puzzles get challenging due to their lack of hints, but Layton giving me pop quizzes was the bane of my childhood.
@@VanBurenOfficial i remember back in 12th grade, we had nothing to do for the last month of the school year, so everyone played runescape on the schools computers lol
26:44 Fun fact, 2/3 of the Personal Trainer devs worked on Kingdom Hearts games, indieszero worked on Melody of Memory and Jupiter worked on Chain of Memories I just found that interesting
Nintendo DS is really way ahead of its time. This was back when touch screens were primitive at the time when we used stylus to control it before using fingers to control the smartphone's touch screen.
And the funny thing? My DS lite touchscreen feels a "touch" more precise. Could just be the stylus, could just be my fat fingers. Either way, I miss my Note phones.
I think it was a good first for dual screens and a good first experience for those that never used a PDA/touch screen before at least before the iPhone came out of course. I mean not many really bought a Tiger Gamecom and especially it was ahead of the DSi as it had two cartridge slots the DSi was going to but didn't do nothing else has 2 game card slots (1997-2000), or Tapwave Zodiac (2003-2005 not great competitor to the DS/PSP but was a PDA still and marketed to say it's for those grown out of a Gameboy XD) so the DS (2004-2011 whatever ish of later games) was the closest finger or stylus.
I remember my mom getting me Personal Trainer Math when I was a kid as a “video game to help learn multiplication tables” Man, now I’m feeling nostalgic for math in elementary school. That’s wild
Can't explain how much I appreciate your videos. When life gets stressful, you're one of those UA-camrs I always make time to sit back with some food & a drink and just watch and not think about things for a while. Your videos are always such a cozy vibe, Keep being awesome, Scott
This was such a fun era, I had way too much fun with brain age and Nintendogs than I think I should've had, but it was cozy and zen and that was part of the fun for me. We need more of that cozy mid 00s Nintendo back, Clubhouse on Switch is kinda like that
This reminds me of the time I loaned Brain Age to a friend. She was pretty obsessed with the sudoku mode of this game and cleared all of them. I later gave her this copy to her birthday. It's crazy how simple games like these were able to connect with people who normally didn't play videogames and I think that was overall the strength of the Nintendo DS.
Thanks for all the great years and consistently great videos Scott. I really watch these just to hear about the history of things I tend to already know but it's like hearing it from a friend that keeps me interested. I like that your videos aren't usually tied to whatever gaming news is out and popular with the search engines and how you focus on topics that interest you and share your personal experience and history with games. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and get to relax from the video grind for a while and recharge like Chibi Robo. In all sincerity thanks Scit.
@@STICKOMEDIA Wozniak is his last name I believe so I think it’s just short for that; the Woz is like a shorthand nickname I think. I think of the Woz as his exaggerated alter ego that is a more hyped and more disenchanted by everything all at once.
I find it especially funny that Elite Beat Agents was labeled as a Touch Generations game, as the entire soundtrack was based around the theme “would this song be played at a college party”. Not to mention the white blood cell’s nurse outfit in “La La” mission in the game. Grandpa can definitely not relate to that game, even if it has (in my opinion) the best ending to any music game of all time. *slowly chants in the distance*: E B A... E B A... E B A...
I got back into Brain Age playing Brain Age this past summer, and I actually had a lot of fun playing it almost daily. I tend to go back to it every year. Also the Elite Beat Agents covers are so good, especially the Highway Star cover! I love how good the songs sound for being on the DS sound card.
@@Murillos1 Might be a little out of Scott's strike zone since he's not necessarily known to love very anime esque stuff in the first place. There definitely is merit, though. I'd like to see him try and cover Senran Kagura since that series originated on 3DS.
🌽 I'm the best philosopher that's ever existed in the history of everything ever, ever. Check this out. Strangers walk down the street in the city, sometimes saying "hi" or "hello" to the other person in sight. One will boil pasta and when they drop the noodles into the water, for ONLY A MILLISECOND they will think of how they never will know the strangers they said "hi" to as they passed them by. Furthermore, they'd rather have the pasta noodles hurry TF up and get soft and chewy - than to have a lame cliché friendship with whoever those random fuqs were. Yeah, I know I'm the best, you ain't gotta tell me. Plus, you're in luck. I only charge 285 dollars for an autograph.
The fact that Scott is going out of his way to release 5 more vids this year just to keep us entertained before he releases his big Christmas vid is both worrying and commendable.😁👌
Can we talk about the fact that this man never asks for people to subscribe, like holy shit it just goes to show that if you make great content, there isn’t even a need for it
I cannot tell you how many hours I had on master of illusion. I loved it so much, the solo mini games blowed my mind as a kid, and I loved performing the magic tricks to my family who pretended to not notice the trick. Good memories
I recall seeing the touch generations logo on a couple games now that you mention it, but I don't see how the branding ever helped in any way at all. Nobody even really knew the context or acknowledged it back then as far as I know. I also recall spending a summer vacation as a kid with my parents in a small town with no internet or television, and all I had was my trusty nintendo DS with a mini sd cartridge that had over 200 random games pre-loaded onto it. Hotel dusk and the world ends with you were two of the titles included on there and it gave me endless entertainment and happy memories for years to come. I entirely forgot abut hotel dusk until now, so thank u bud.
I'm glad to see someone talk about Mystery Case Files: Millionheir. I put at least a couple hundred hours into that game as a kid, trying to get all the endings and laughing at the fun characters. Yeah, it's just a hidden object game, but it's a great hidden object game.
Same, I remember replaying Mystery Case Files like 10 times back when I was a kid. Very underrated game with an interesting art style and a neat little story to boot.
Scott the woz content touches me the same way these ds games do, right in my heart and make me happy. The ds touch screen is a classic and I’m glad that I grew up on them
I love rhythm heaven for so many reasons, the music is so catchy it scratches my head just right, it's really fun and it was very good at wanting me to get perfect in everything, my boyfriend and I first bonded over rhythm heaven fever, so I cherish that game, I love when people talk about it because it means that we might get one step closer to a new entry in the series
My grandma loved theese games. Especially the "non touch generation" touch generation game. She loved Nintendo beyond Wii sports. I have suspicion that this was her favorite Nintendo generation as it appealed to her and me a lot. She could play games that her and her 3 year old grandson could enjoy.
I’ve had plenty of these games and paid very close attention to gaming news in the mid-2000s, and have literally never noticed the Touch Generations symbol or ever heard of it.
@@Wryyyong Oh...uh. Proably not, huh? But it's not like I can get a copy from Europe at this point, plus I'm pretty sure things were region locked in the DS... Edit: I checked, there are at least two emulators that have the option of "lid", and one of those is the one I have.
@@Wryyyong MelonDS( the best PC DS emulator) has a sleep mode toggle so really Last Window is perfectly playable on it considering I just beat Ghost Trick on it and it ran basically perfectly
12:57 The reason for the change from the original characters is that they are ouendan, which is essentially a Japanese cheerleader; ouendan aren't well known outside of Japan, so it was decided to make new characters instead. As for them being Agents specifically, they were conceived as a mix between Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and The Blues Brothers (don't see all three if them myself, especially not the Ghistbusters angle, but that’s what the game's creator said, so there you go).
Elite Beat Agents being part of the Touch lineup is so funny, to me, considering Osu is directly based on it and Ouendan, and that game is quite possibly one of the least accessible games out there, for an average person.
When I was growing up, I loved pulling on the tug-of-war toy on Nintendogs so high that the dog eventually left the ground due to the toy it was holding on to being too high. I would then proceed to spin the toy around so fast the dog went flying due to losing it's grip. Those were the days!
You awakened some primal memories in my head I didn't know I had. I would lift them up with the tug of war toy and swing them in circles if I remember correctly haha.
@@YianKutKu2 Yep! It seemed to happen either when you spun them really fast or when managed to get a pendulum motion that's also fast enough. Pretty impressive for the DS!
Scott, I know you posted you were shooting for ~5 more episodes THIS YEAR, but holy shit dude please don't hurt yourself like that. You could release a Christmas special in July and I'd just be happy you're still alive at the end of it.
Oh i had 100 classic books as a kid and was ecstatic about it lol. Honestly for a kid that didnt have my own computer or phone, it was a great little oddity,
@@favoritemustard3542my guess is that when it sprayed out the 1st time, it wasn’t quite what he expected so he tried again, probably wasn’t much better so he just decided to edited in spray effects after XD
That boxing game actually really must have paid off for Scott since he’s able to cut a pair of glasses in half with some run of the mill scissors so casually. That’s honestly quite a feat!
Hey Scott, thanks for mentioning Fossil Fighters. It's one of my personal favorites and seeing it name dropped was very unexpected. I have been watching you're content for quite a while now (my first video of yours was the Switch rumors video) and I have to say I have enjoyed all of it. You clearly put a lot of effort into these videos and their releases always feel special.
seeing the personal trainer cooking ‘game’ again, and understanding what it was meant as now, is too funny to me. 9 yr old me just wanted a cooking game on the ds, i didn’t realize it was literally just a recipe book.
Can't wait for the other episodes! Ok seriously Scott gives us the most high quality videos on UA-cam imaginable. Even though they're episodes of a series
I had brain surgery many years ago. Flash Focus was really helpful in retraining my eyes to work together properly afterwards. My first Nintendo system was the Wii and my parents bought that for me so I could use the balance board to retrain my sense of equilibrium. All that to say a bunch of Nintendo stuff during that era was actually excellent physical and occupational therapy disguised as video games. All that stuff came out at a very convenient time to fix my brain. And as a result of all that gaming I am now a zelda/yoshi/etc fan. Gaming literally changed my life and I am grateful for the direction Nintendo choose to go in. Among other things, Ring fit adventure is physical therapy I can actually stick to. I hope you have a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year Scott.
I remember Brain Age got a 3DS continuation called "Concentration Training" that I was completely obsessed with years ago I only ever played the demo but it was great, it basically was the classic series of simple math problems but it added a gimmick that you had to write the answer to a given problem _from some amount before the currently-shown_ one, I got really good at it too

When Scott asked for time on the Christmas episode in exchange for more videos, I did not expect a half hour video like this.
Man is a machine
“Nintendo I don’t need you for this” *sprays soda at himself*
I genuinely laugh so hard….. twice.
Scott's more independent then you think.
You can even see his shirt is wet, probably from previous takes
Can we talk about the fact that this man never asks for people to subscribe, like holy shit it just goes to show that if you make great content, there isn’t even a need for it
So glad you finally got to this series. I have so much nostalgia for the Touch Generations series. Definitely seems like something Scott would like.
I cannot tell you how many hours I had on master of illusion. I loved it so much, the solo mini games blowed my mind as a kid, and I loved performing the magic tricks to my family who pretended to not notice the trick. Good memories
17:44 So that's where that weird-as-heck Smash Bros. Ultimate stage comes from! I had no idea!! Hahahaha
Ultimate? The stage was Frist introduced in brawl
Electroplankton, yeah, that was brawl
I thought it was from pikmin😭😭😭😭
25:01 I’m absolutely POSITIVE I played that game. Specifically Zuma. Sleeper agent of a memory.
Man gave us a 30 min To compensate for delaying the Christmas special, Scott you are insane
Get ready for 4 more in the next week.
hopefully one is made of spinoffs i really want to see scott yelling at nintendo again in a video not targetted at nintendo
I recall seeing the touch generations logo on a couple games now that you mention it, but I don't see how the branding ever helped in any way at all. Nobody even really knew the context or acknowledged it back then as far as I know. I also recall spending a summer vacation as a kid with my parents in a small town with no internet or television, and all I had was my trusty nintendo DS with a mini sd cartridge that had over 200 random games pre-loaded onto it. Hotel dusk and the world ends with you were two of the titles included on there and it gave me endless entertainment and happy memories for years to come. I entirely forgot abut hotel dusk until now, so thank u bud.
Scott finally talked about brain age🎉
I'm glad to see someone talk about Mystery Case Files: Millionheir. I put at least a couple hundred hours into that game as a kid, trying to get all the endings and laughing at the fun characters. Yeah, it's just a hidden object game, but it's a great hidden object game.
Same, I remember replaying Mystery Case Files like 10 times back when I was a kid. Very underrated game with an interesting art style and a neat little story to boot.
I would pay so much money to have scott do a whole video on the rhythm heaven series
0:07 very cool of Scott to kill all the black eagles for a 2 second gag
the fact that scott owns a physical copy of panty party of all things
Thank Nintendogs.
For some reason this didn't pop into my recommendations back in the day, and now it's as if a new Scatt vid dropped for me! That's an amazing feeling!
Bro says back in the day like they're reminiscing on when they were a child.
@@axothegremlin lmao
20:30 I can only imagine how many shots had to be made to get it just right.
everyone else - lets do a best of 2022 videos or Christmas videos
Scott - You know what F$&k that I'm doing a Touch! Generation video
Scott the woz content touches me the same way these ds games do, right in my heart and make me happy. The ds touch screen is a classic and I’m glad that I grew up on them
agreed.
I love rhythm heaven for so many reasons, the music is so catchy it scratches my head just right, it's really fun and it was very good at wanting me to get perfect in everything, my boyfriend and I first bonded over rhythm heaven fever, so I cherish that game, I love when people talk about it because it means that we might get one step closer to a new entry in the series
My grandma loved theese games. Especially the "non touch generation" touch generation game. She loved Nintendo beyond Wii sports.
I have suspicion that this was her favorite Nintendo generation as it appealed to her and me a lot. She could play games that her and her 3 year old grandson could enjoy.
She also had an old Gameboy color and a few games. played alot of wario land 2 at the housem
This! The DS+Wii Era made gaming accessible for ALL ages! It truly made gaming family oriented.
I personally love Clubhouse Games. Still got a copy my friends and i use for Download Play every so often. Glad the Switch got a remake
Merry Christmas Scott! Thanks for always being such a positive face to come back to :D
I’ve had plenty of these games and paid very close attention to gaming news in the mid-2000s, and have literally never noticed the Touch Generations symbol or ever heard of it.
Weird occasion for Scott to talk about Hotel Dusk, but I take it. The sequel "Last Window" also misses the Touch Generations Logo.
THERE'S A SEQUEL?! Well, apparently it didn't release over here. I hope an emulator will be able to do the trick.
@@TenebraeLux Play it, if you liked Kyle Hyde in Hotel Dusk, you will love him in the sequel.
@@TenebraeLux Hope your emulator can emulate sleep mode
@@Wryyyong Oh...uh. Proably not, huh? But it's not like I can get a copy from Europe at this point, plus I'm pretty sure things were region locked in the DS...
Edit: I checked, there are at least two emulators that have the option of "lid", and one of those is the one I have.
@@Wryyyong MelonDS( the best PC DS emulator) has a sleep mode toggle so really Last Window is perfectly playable on it considering I just beat Ghost Trick on it and it ran basically perfectly
12:57 The reason for the change from the original characters is that they are ouendan, which is essentially a Japanese cheerleader; ouendan aren't well known outside of Japan, so it was decided to make new characters instead. As for them being Agents specifically, they were conceived as a mix between Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and The Blues Brothers (don't see all three if them myself, especially not the Ghistbusters angle, but that’s what the game's creator said, so there you go).
20:52 may or may not be an L Button Reference.
It is, the l button “video” is 23 minutes. And May be made because of the video vote Scott did this yeat
Elite Beat Agents being part of the Touch lineup is so funny, to me, considering Osu is directly based on it and Ouendan, and that game is quite possibly one of the least accessible games out there, for an average person.
This episode made me wish I had my copy of brain age right now
I loved Touch Generation games back in 2007.
*I love that Scott bought glasses just to cut them in half for a 2s clip...* @11:00
🤣
I just bought Hotel Dusk for my DSi today, very excited to check it out
When I was growing up, I loved pulling on the tug-of-war toy on Nintendogs so high that the dog eventually left the ground due to the toy it was holding on to being too high.
I would then proceed to spin the toy around so fast the dog went flying due to losing it's grip. Those were the days!
You awakened some primal memories in my head I didn't know I had.
I would lift them up with the tug of war toy and swing them in circles if I remember correctly haha.
@@YianKutKu2 Yep! It seemed to happen either when you spun them really fast or when managed to get a pendulum motion that's also fast enough. Pretty impressive for the DS!
I agree with everything Scott said about Flash Focus, but I still loved it. I found it enthralling.
Scott, I know you posted you were shooting for ~5 more episodes THIS YEAR, but holy shit dude please don't hurt yourself like that. You could release a Christmas special in July and I'd just be happy you're still alive at the end of it.
Tetris DS is so much fun. I'm so happy I picked it up back in the day. I believe it's pretty rare and/or expensive now.
The soda shake joke has to be one of my favorites, it just hits
I thought Touch Generations was just some kind of support studio within Nintendo tbh
scott being a clubhouse games enjoyer is everything i needed in this world
Oh boy do I have a Scott the woz series for you
I wouldn't have it any other way.
1:55 I didn't expect osu! to be part of Touch Generations from the way you summarized it up until now.
Scott is that cool uncle we all wish we had
Oh i had 100 classic books as a kid and was ecstatic about it lol. Honestly for a kid that didnt have my own computer or phone, it was a great little oddity,
These games hold a special place in my heart sometimes you do t need something complex or difficult you just need something fun
I own 4 of the picross s games for a reason
20:04 can we just appreciate that he clearly did more than one take of this
Got some dribs & drabs already lol
👍👁👍 good eye!
Edit: the 2nd time he did it looks more like after effects, maybe?
@@favoritemustard3542my guess is that when it sprayed out the 1st time, it wasn’t quite what he expected so he tried again, probably wasn’t much better so he just decided to edited in spray effects after XD
Rhythm Heaven got me into music, for that reason it's just my favourite game serie of all time
That boxing game actually really must have paid off for Scott since he’s able to cut a pair of glasses in half with some run of the mill scissors so casually. That’s honestly quite a feat!
Hey Scott, thanks for mentioning Fossil Fighters. It's one of my personal favorites and seeing it name dropped was very unexpected. I have been watching you're content for quite a while now (my first video of yours was the Switch rumors video) and I have to say I have enjoyed all of it. You clearly put a lot of effort into these videos and their releases always feel special.
He did it. Let's go. Absolute win.
*clubhouse games exists
Scott:”YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS”!!!!!!
Having all these Woz videos before Christmas IS the best Christmas present
8:37 11:09 Wow, Scott has been a wild DS serial killer these past months.
So glad I'm not alone thinking about this line. Picked up an in-box DSiXL and have been trying to track down and play Touch Generation games.
Sonic fans who first met Rouge the Bat: “Mom, mom, it’s Rouge the Bat!”
Mom: “25:29”
I'm still amazed to this day that Electroplankton got a stage in smash bros brawl.... and that that stage made it back into Ultimate
„dad, can we have a dog“
„no son, 5:02“
seeing the personal trainer cooking ‘game’ again, and understanding what it was meant as now, is too funny to me. 9 yr old me just wanted a cooking game on the ds, i didn’t realize it was literally just a recipe book.
Can't wait for the other episodes!
Ok seriously Scott gives us the most high quality videos on UA-cam imaginable. Even though they're episodes of a series
I loved Tetris DS as a child!! It's probably the reason why I also was interested in all the retro games it featured!
4:20 Nah fam you cant just gloss over that, there's a seaman SEQUEL!
I had brain surgery many years ago. Flash Focus was really helpful in retraining my eyes to work together properly afterwards. My first Nintendo system was the Wii and my parents bought that for me so I could use the balance board to retrain my sense of equilibrium.
All that to say a bunch of Nintendo stuff during that era was actually excellent physical and occupational therapy disguised as video games. All that stuff came out at a very convenient time to fix my brain.
And as a result of all that gaming I am now a zelda/yoshi/etc fan.
Gaming literally changed my life and I am grateful for the direction Nintendo choose to go in. Among other things, Ring fit adventure is physical therapy I can actually stick to.
I hope you have a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year Scott.
I love fossil fighters. Just hearing Scott mention it brings me joy.
That's how I felt to! I'm glad Scott the Woz mentioned one of my favorite series on the DS.
Looking through for Fossil Fighters comments
Scott starts talking about Rhythm Heaven at 14:25
Scott the woz is finally as good as it was in season 4, very excited for the future
I remember Brain Age got a 3DS continuation called "Concentration Training" that I was completely obsessed with years ago
I only ever played the demo but it was great, it basically was the classic series of simple math problems but it added a gimmick that you had to write the answer to a given problem _from some amount before the currently-shown_ one, I got really good at it too
Yay Scott acknowledged the existence of fossil fighters
Fossil Fighters reference
@@hypersonicpaleofighterdinosaur exactly
I'm officially a day older than Touch Generations and Serbia, I'm so proud
