[@Dynamotogh]

I just started up Photo Dojo on my 3DS for the first time in forever to take a look back at the incredible roster I created. Every single character slot is me making a menacing grimace from different angles with vaguely threatening names such as "OOZE-KILLER" and "PIANO" except for the last character slot, which is a crudely drawn image of Wario.

[@thegarboarto]

Am I the only one who would just cover the lens with my thumb and make a character that was just a black silhouette? I was always like "He's a shadow ninja," but really I was just lazy.

One time, I just made a fighter by taking pictures of different colors for each pose. My headcanon was that it was a magical crystal projecting a humanoid form.

[@Froaklies]

[@TranslationHell]

I took photos of a table, a carpet, a vent, an electric socket and my own pants and called them all fighters. Not sure if that's better or not.

[@EeveeEuphoria]

Man, Photo Dojo was soo much fun for me as a kid. I still have my original save file on my 3DS, through 2 system transfers (DSi > 3DS > New 2DS XL). Also, I bet everyone did this, but making a stick figure fighter was something really easy to do, just take a picture with the camera sensor covered lol.

[@PimentaboyGvideos]

you kept the save game when you did the transfer??

[@moxaicx]

I also made a Stickman as one of my fighters but for some reason gave him a high-pitched voice

[@miketheguy2847]

Finally, someone is talking about Photo Dojo.

[@JoNassRasierer]

I thought I was the only one knowing it

[@chibidangames]

I remember browsing the 3DS eShop a lot when I was younger and always seeing this game. I never got it, but the game always stuck in my mind due to its strangeness. Maybe I'll finally try it out.

[@Bro3256Films]

I remember getting this on my DSi a few years ago and damn was it fun, the concept alone of creating your own fighters and stages amazed me even though they were simple pictures. I didn't think of googling other fighters though I just always made my own stuff.

[@Ahmedto]

Dude I played this SO much as a kid with my family. I remember getting my siblings, my cousins, my parents, and my uncle to have their picture taken. I'm pretty sure we played it more than it was intended to be played. Damn, now I feel like getting it on the 3DS again... I loved the video by the way!

[@shintarouee]

I remember playing this with my brother back in the day. Good times!

[@Meepston]

Man, where do I begin with this game. I initially got it on my DSi when it was actually still free, and from Day 1 I loved the game and it stole my heart. I remember making stages based on the playroom that my siblings and I had in our house, using backgrounds like a couch, a table, the TV screen, and some toy structures. I stopped playing after a while because the friends I used to play it with either moved away or moved on, but when Cloud was announced for Smash 4 in my freshman year of high school I took a crack at it again and made Cloud in Photo Dojo so my friends and I could mess around with how silly it all was. I'm now about to graduate high school, but it really only felt like a few years ago that Nintendo gave us this obscure gem. Photo Dojo's got a special place in my heart, and I'll never forget all the times I created some truly cursed fighters and stages. God bless

[@shybaka2892]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS GAME! I remember me and my friend from middle school took pictures and made fighting versions of ourselves in this game. They need to remake or remaster this game.

[@trentstevens932]

My most memorable memories of this game include: listening to the fighter making music far more than anyone should, having my ears hurt whenever I was playing as/fighting the third fighter I made, and laughing every time I saw the title screen.

[@pokefriend123]

Photo Dojo remake for Nintendo Switch pls

[@p_yoshi]

The switch only has an ir camera, I'm not sure how well that would work

[@Londokian]

[@Deevster]

Finally an obscure game that I know about!

[@hadamsj]

Unrelated but - omg! I'm not the only foreigner who imported a Squid Sisters Live shirt!

[@ThePWhale]

I remember playing this my freshman year of high school on my 3DS. My friends and I were in my high school’s band room and made characters for all of us. Good times

[@Jiozak]

op. I remember getting this game with some extra eShop funds I had lying around while I was waiting for New Super Mario Bros. 2 to be released. I actually had no idea about the unlockables this game has in store, and it makes me want to fill out my game's roster and get those unlocked.

[@Orcawsom]

I loved this game years back, my friends and I would spend lunchtime at school taking our photos and then playing. It's actually funny you made this vid cause a few days back I opened up my photo dojo and saw my whole roster of me and my old friends from yeeeaaars back. Brought back a lot of memories all at once.

[@MikeDaddy]

There is so much potential for a more in depth game like this

[@gavinthecrafter]

I had this game on my DSi when I was young. The coolest part is many years later I still had my old fighter saved, so I created a new version effectively allowing me to battle a younger version of myself

[@ludwigish]

I played this all the time with friends growing up, after seeing it on the actual news on real television. My buddy wanted a move to say “It’s gonna hurt me more than it hurts you!” … But with button spamming it always came out as “It’s gonna hurt me- It’s gonna hurt me-!” :P

[@CHAOKOCartoons]

I got my DSI right when this launched as a kid and this was my shit for like a whole year. First introduction to the idea of making games as well, and encouraged me to draw more to make characters. I get so nostalgic hearing the credits music for this game, an excellent little time waster for a kid who never really understood fighting games at that point.

[@megafanzach]

I’ve been playing this game nonstop for years, I love this game. LETS REBOOT IT!

[@theleekslibrary2104]

Good lord. It's nice seeing this getting recognized quite a bit later. I played this a lot with my friends. Not our favorite game but a nice memory. Great video. It covered most everything there is, sadly, with the exception of the glorious 8-fighter title screen.

[@JollyGiant64]

Man, I totally remember playing this game as a kid! It was so much fun to play a fighting game as myself! And what I did, actually, was I used Super Smash Bros Brawl to make the other fighters. I would pause the game at specific moments to capture the poses, and used the sound test menu for the voice clips.

[@basiltheleafeon]

This was the first download exclusive game I bought on the DSi. I didn’t really understand the free promotion for Photo Dojo so I begged my parents to get me a DSiXL for my birthday, expecting to get it bundled in or something. I wasn’t too bummed about not being able to get it since the DSiXL had it own exclusive pack-in, a Brain Age game with Dr. Mario in it, but purchasing Photo Dojo was my first step into the Nintendo Marketplace.

[@Waltman13]

I loved playing this game on my 3DS. The fact that you can not only make fighters of yourself and friends, but also characters from various games and cartoons made this game even more special.

[@Mewtendo]

i remember seeing this when it released

[@MatthewSmart]

I remember playing this game so long ago when I first got my 3DS and while I didn't create that many characters, it was still such a fun idea that I wouldn't mind seeing again someday. I should really boot it up again sometime.

[@Grit_Frame]

Man, this was a fun experience. My experience with it was limited, being that it was from one of my cousin’s DSi the same with Flipnote studios( wasn’t one of those lucky ones to get a DSi). I had fun taking pictures and playing in the single player mode. I think I went crazy regarding the Fighters cause I think one was a cat? But it was neat little experience and great seeing you play the game that not a lot of people knows

[@starrydaze_]

Oh man this game brings me back. I remember making stages based on whatever I could find, as well as basically having my entire family playable. One of my favorite details in the game is how the title screen keeps growing depending on how many characters you make.

[@stwbmc98]

I remember my friend had the DSi back in the day. I came over to his house and I remember him showing me the game. We duked it out in verses and made all sorts of characters. I remember his character had a super high pitched scream every time it attacked! I thought it was so funny back then. Good times :)

[@Mariostern1]

My favorite memories with Photo Dojo were finally getting my 7th friend to agree to become a character. It's basically the final roster unlock lol. Writing down a story with friends too, for why characters are fighting each other and also conceptualizing a final boss. This game was truly the best when you were a goofball.

[@zoruacrossing8726]

So here I am, posting a comment on a Photo Dojo video in 2023. I picked this game up on a whim since as of writing, this is the last month before the Eshop gets shut down permanently. And aside from re-buying some games I had and then lost due to an account deletion incident, I picked up Photo Dojo on a whim. And honestly, I'm super-glad I did! It might seem like nothing but a dumb goofy novelty, but considering that it was a $2 tech demo for the DSi camera, it's more than worth it!

[@TibbyII]

[@coolnessgames]

I remember taking the time to put my power ranger toys into photo dojo. I also remember that getting them into those damn poses was so annoying and it didn't feel rewarding when I fought as the mighty morphin green ranger in single player.

[@ThatCubeGamer]

I absolutely loved Photo Dojo back when it released. It was always a great time making fighters based on me, my friends / family, or gaming characters that I loved! Even if it’s not something I really play nowadays much, I still love going back to it for the memories and it’s always been a really nice concept for a simple game like this honestly.

[@deathcube7255]

man, about time someone talks about this game! One time, I used the self photo mode, and set the timer to the point where it glitched and kept running on and on and on. I waited until my DSI died.

I only remember taking images while my DSi was facing toward a surface so the fighter is a straight up silhouette.

[@Sir_Bone-Head]

I remember playing it and enjoying the game. I loved the concept of using the camera to create your own fighters, although I did wish you could've gotten more creative with how you make the fighter. I've constantly though of how they could've gone and made a better version of this game, like allowing more editing options such as just taking a picture and erasing unnecessary detail so all you have is what you want to see, which could allow for unique attacks and poses. Still was fun for a simple little game though.
