How does this not have a million views.

STILL my favorite hand held gaming system which I still collect games for to this day.

[@photonsOrigin]

I play the 2DS XL because I can play SNES, GBC, NES, DS, and 3DS games.

[@TANKTREAD]

@@photonsOrigin You are awesome, my friend. I have a NEW 3DS XL, but I know the 2DS XL is a great hand held gaming system. The countless games you can play on both systems are EPIC. Just so glad that another person in the world enjoys their 3DS/2DS game system.

[@photonsOrigin]

TANKTREAD aw, thanks!

[@leftyfourguns]

Martinet did this presentation effortlessly. Shame he didn't get to do it more often.

[@skyevlyn]

Thank you so much for documenting and posting this! Super interesting to see how they changed the system before launch

[@somechannelguy]

This is so freaking cool

[@dinothebetatt6733]

I wish I still had my old DS... I miss that thing. 😢

[@DarkPitTheFallenAngel]

What happened to it?

[@dinothebetatt6733]

@@DarkPitTheFallenAngel I turned it in to get my old 3DS

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I was only 2 years old when the DS came out. One of my favorite games for that console is "Super Mario 64 DS".

I remember watching this very video back 19 years ago, I thought the odds of finding it again are remote. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had the only documentation of that “lifestyle” concept trailer for the DS even existing, it’s kind of wild that Nintendo imagined anything of that sort in a world before smartphones and tablets as we know them now.

[@MarinoV1]

Yeah, I remember looking for it back when I was converting my tapes to digital but couldn't find it anywhere. I know this isn't the best quality, but at least it exists.

[@SuperTrainStationH]

@@MarinoV1 I don't have even the slightest following, , but as a passion project, I was going to do a retrospective on my personal experience with the announcement of DS in January 2004, through its reveal in May, and its release in November. I was actually going back and trying to find Nintendo's E3 2004 press conference and had no idea I'd run into this very video, which I thought to be so obscure that I didn't even try to search for it. Would you be okay with me using footage from this for it? If you want to see some of my stuff, you can search "e3 2004" and find a stream I did about a year ago where I broke down and analyzed Nintendo's E3 presentation that year, though what I'm looking to do in this case would be more of a "produced" thing and not just a watch along and commentary. Anyway, thanks for capturing this, if not for you, that video from Nintendo would literally be lost media, and its a unique look into the thinking that nearly lead them to rename the DS "City Boy".

The algorithm is showing me such good stuff. Thank you youtube POGGERS

[@GigglyMan42069]

notice how they go out of their way to never actually show the real screen

[@lottietrohear9127]

I would be so little back in 2004. I’d be 5 to 6 years old.

[@ages_dot_mp4]

My right ear is unhappy with you

[@MarinoV1]

AGES the VMU  I apologize for my crappy video camera not having stereo sound recording in 2004. Thanks for watching!

[@rocoloco321]

Mfw you find ages in the yt comments. :chungie:

[@FTChomp9980]

This is history! I was only 4 then.

[@theoneandonlymem432]

I was merely 2 years old.

[@uroskesic6117]

The second best selling console off all time

[@twincherries6698]

Yikes, seeing Yuji Naka as a premier rep for Sega, now look where he is, lol. Shame, imagine getting one shot to work with Square Enix and you're handed Arzest lol.

4:48 Did they just laugh when Yuji Naka appeared on screen

[@MarinoV1]

If I remember correctly, the twin women and Charles were casually conversing with the people in the room at the time. I was about 5 people deep in the group.

The design of that original ds still hurts my eyes

You mean Wario's Lair, Wario.

Holy Mario, Emanuel! It's Charles Martinet!
