Nintendo's Greatest Feature: DS DOWNLOAD PLAY

[@Raystarbazzar]

I remember playing Download Play with the bros. We played Mario 64 mainly. I never liked Mario Kart DS’ version because the only character was shy guy when you weren’t hosting, but looking back, that was just a minor inconvenience

[@Nichslvl]

Absolute banger of course! Really wish I could go back and experience this stuff for the first time :(

[@egonyt]

Bro couldn’t help but flex the DS collection

[@hokage1997]

i remember hosting mkds lobbies on the school bus back in 09 and id get full lobbies on the ride home. fun times

[@xbax1012]

One of the most unique uses of Download Play I've seen is in the WiiWare game Maboshi's Arcade, that let you temporarily download a DS version of the game that you could play on the go.

[@666Kitteh]

I fondly remember playing Mario vs Luigi and Minigames on New Super Mario Bros DS with my sister using the feature! Those were amazing times!

[@someone6531]

As a wise guy once said: "Once somebody had Mario Kart DS, the entire family was eating."

[@watcherman222]

And then, they went the extra mile with Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS. All courses available with the only drawback being that download players only get to play as Shy Guy and use only standard kart parts.

[@slimeplayz164]

Thr amount of nostalgia that came from this one feature

[@KittenoftheBroccoli]

Mario Party DS was the absolute perfect implementation of Download Play. I remember my brothers and I playing together for hours on family road trips...

[@mateusaparecido4590]

Today I am thankful to the algorithm for recommending me your video. Amazing video and amazing content ❤

[@Nichslvl]

Yoooo! Thank you so much!!

[@egonyt]

But seriously, I missed out on the DS download play era since I really started gaming with the 3ds, and spent TONS of time trading and battling in all my Pokémon games

[@Nichslvl]

its okay we all start somewhere

[@dredgendorchadas6770]

Opposite side, I played the ds when everyone was on the 3ds. Thankfully, my guys would share.

[@turbobist2889]

I missed this awesome feature. It was cool how you can enjoy multiplayer fyn if you don't have a copy of a specific game, and it was super convenient. Honestly, I kinda wish some modern games have their own type of download play by having you download an app on your pc or mobile device to have fun.

[@gilbert64]

Something that I find curious is that the psp also had this feature, the only games that come to my mind when thinking about it are sonic rivals 2, bomberman, bomberman land, nfs most wanted and metal gear solid

[@Nichslvl]

I've never been a sony kid so I wouldnt know sadly :( but it is interesting to hear about!

[@PhirePhlame]

I'm really hoping I finally am able to see that in action! The PSP calls the concept "Game Sharing". As a side note, on GBA, it's called "multiboot".

[@giangeegibb]

DS Download Play is cool and all but let’s be honest it can’t even hold a candle to the ability to use your DS as an alarm clock

[@Nichslvl]

Welp...time to start typing up a new script...

[@0x_SHADOW_x0]

i remember playing plants vs zombies vs mode and mario kart with my siblings on the ds, it was so fun

[@Nichslvl]

Absolute banger way to play. Finished the game on my DSi like that

[@Agirlinyourcloset]

3:50 the 2ds: but what about me ):

[@filevans]

hello do you know if you can do the same thing with 2x 2DS/3DSs playing a DS game?

[@SimonPegasus]

yuh I'm 90% sure

[@abird124]

bro I love ds download play one of the best features of the ds. I wish they had it on the nintendo switch as well

[@ModricoTV]

Ah, Pictochat. The ONE feature that parents were upset over. (I swear, if nobody gets this reference...)

[@FurryExterminator-pm8lf]

noone did

[@voyan38]

No no noooo not the closing Ye reference

[@Nichslvl]

A REAL ONE stays til the end!! :P lol

[@DankDankDank]

Shy guy will always be my go to for mario kart ds 😎

[@8bittinkywinky]

I have Sonic Rush and Angry Birds Trilogy on my Nintendo DS

[@KittyRebecca]

i was born 3 day after its release of the ds XD

[@PyromancerRift]

I think mario kart had multiplayer on one kartridge on GBA. Maybe advance wars too.

[@NatetheNintendofan]

New Nintendo presents are pretty good too

[@Felipe-One]

Definitively, the final NDS fat design was way better

[@hawkins5439]

There was a guitar hero game on the Wii that allowed for download play onto a ds, it was black magic I tell you! It was pretty bland though imo, maybe because there was no one I could play that with at the time.

[@melvyn.wolfson16]

That's cool that WiimmFi took the nintendo wfc in their hands to make it work in 2024

[@p1n3pp13s]

HELP ME I CANT FIND DOWNLOAD PLAYYY

[@doomeddog5589]

man they were the days aside from the main point of the video the ds was magical to my dumb kid brain

[@Nichslvl]

Nintendo was really at its peak in this era lol

[@LaiyenZ]

HOOOOOORAY NEW VIDEO

[@Nichslvl]

this is HUGE!!

[@ScarrletMoonify]

I would love to play a game with you one day

[@cakehoarder]

W video

[@Nichslvl]

appreciate that big dawg!

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

Bro is just like me FR FR

[@Nichslvl]

ACTUALLY FR

[@alvarochaves1999]

The Nintendo Switch does not have this feature. :(

[@augeacc]

You had to have 2 gba consoles = 2 switch consoles You had to have 2 cartridges = 2 switch games You had to have a cable = ...you both must have nintendo online subscription.....

[@phorchybug3286]

Yeah. It's the 2 player mode.

[@Daansaes]

To be fair, it isn't only (Only, I accept how Nintendo can be a lot of times) Nintendo being greedy the reason that we don't have a switch download play or the fact that 3ds had less download play titles. DS download play works like this: the host ds works as a server and the client ds's download a chunk of the game and store it on its ram, and after that you play the game like a regular multiplayer game. So everytime you change circuit in Mario kart or minigame on Mario Party or Clubhouse games for example you will have a loading screen where every client ds downloads the new content through WiFi. For example, Kirby and the amazing mirror wouldn't work as a download play game because in that game every player has access to any part of the game in any moment, and that's probably why in super star the client ds only works as a controller. This system is more difficult to implement with bigger games. Zelda triforce heroes has download play, but the first time you use it on a client 3ds the game downloads files to that consoles storage to use any other time. Mario party star rush on 3ds and the clubhouse games sequel on switch have (or had) free client versions on the eshop for multiplayer, because regular download play would be difficult to implement or really slow.

0:10 except... yes THEY WERE GREEDY AS SHIT

[@sammysoza6514]

fireeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@TCperry]

Jesus loves you!

[@tater535]

Bro's just doing this for likes

[@TCperry]

@@tater535 Actually I don't do this for likes. I couldn't care less about likes. All I want to do is share Jesus with others. I hope this helps clear up things.

[@edenalexandriab9120]

Remember - you are loved! Jesus loved you and gave His life so you can be free because of Him! He died on the cross so we can be set free. He wants all of us to repent of our sins and be given a new life in Him! He does to all who choose to believe in Him, trust Him and follow Him xx He will give us the power to ivercome sin in our lives today x He will never leave you nor forsake you xxx

Why not make something unique? Why use that horrible thumbnail?

[@Nichslvl]

thats very rude. I worked really hard on this thumbnail and thought it was actually really great.

[@inserthahafunniusername9656]

​@@Nichslvl I think it's real neat
