That Miyamoto flip was 100% a DnD thing, whenever the real Miyamoto dies an identical guy with a mustache shows up and goes "It's me, his cousin."

[@DryPaperHammerBro]

Missed opportunity to say "It's-a Me, Myamotwo!" smh

[@Perc1000]

fun fact: the L percussion on the "clap" is actually straight up just a Roland TR-808 Clap

Well yeah most of infamous Nintendo samples come from Roland

In the list of "Nintendo Characters who canonically swear," you forgot some of the Fire Emblem cast, especially Sully from Awakening.

I remember when I found out that I could put MP3s on the 3DS, it was the coolest shit ever at the time. I pirated so many albums as a young kid

[@Silph_Co]

23:33 This awakened a long dormant memory in me, wow. I think I remember hearing that somewhere on Flipnote Hatena circa 2010-2011

[@DevEd_]

Game Freak did not develop the Game Boy Camera software; it was handled by Jupiter (same guys who developed the Picross series). The only reason Game Freak even appears on the copyright screen is because of the Pokemon stamps.

[@Akfamilyhome]

Huh! I've seen that fact being mentioned in a lot of places, so if this was a big common misconception that'd be interesting to see. A few quick searches seem to show equal amounts of credits for Game Freak and Jupiter from different sites. If there's a definitive source, I'd love to know!

[@DevEd_]

@@Akfamilyhome The game's credits, for one. None of the staff members that worked on the game or hardware were from Game Freak. Hirokazu Tanaka is currently the president of Creatures, Inc., though at the time he was still employed by Nintendo.

[@AwesomeYena]

The music combined with the photos of my first dog and old house always get me...

[@rhysamoment]

[@getsouped]

the 3ds camera actually kickstarted my interest in stop motion! i used to make stop motion vids of my toys (usually my mlp toys since there were less articulation points to keep track of), and id voice them over live when i showed my parents. my dad always thought they were really cool! i still have a latent interest in making stop motion bc of that, but idk if ill actually pursue it

[@wishonpleiades6288]

Love the gag with Miyamoto scoring 1 over Sony for putting SD cards in the DSi. They really screwed over Vita owners with the proprietary memory cards.

[@h8GW]

As someone who owns 2 Vitas -4 if you include PSTV,- I can confirm this.

[@vittovale]

I got a DSi used last year, and I absolutely LOVE the camera and sound software, especially the filters for the camera and the pitch changing for the sound!

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

The sound of the WiiU is beautiful all the music for every part of it was leagues above the silent abyss of modern consoles

[@robiginal]

On my DS and 3DS the Parakeet filter is called Budgie. I'm from Europe, so I can only assume it's a regional thing, which I did not know about Edit: after posting this comment I found out how to import music from an SD card so I could experience the music player, and it turns out the instrumental filter wasn't renamed at all in my region as well

[@BriefCasey795]

That's kinda interesting. Some people (like me) call them Budgies over in America as well.

[@ronan-outoftime]

i grew up calling them budgies and legitimately didn't know they were the same until reading this comment about a minute ago 😅

[@pilotmemes]

I got a DSi blue at launch and immediately drove across the United States and back again with it nearly attached to my hand. Taking pictures and recording songs all along the way. They added the ability to post your pictures to Facebook and you could access the Internet on the DSi, an absolute beast for its time, definitely a system I will always love.

[@BriceTerry]

I used the camera app on the 3ds during quarantine, I was bored. 3:14 Also, I grew up with the Nintendo DSi, so hearing the camera intro jingle super shooted me back to when I wasn't depressed and was instead a happy healthy kid.

[@Kirkklan]

Fun fact; I used the 3DS camera for my own film-making while my main """Camera""" was down. It worked well enough for what I was trying. I also extracted a whole skit I made on the audio app that I still have on my PC. Maybe I should make an animatic of it one day...

[@SmokePudding]

hearing the DSI camera theme brought me so many memories and chills, i really forgot this musis ever existed

[@Bukki13]

I remember reading through the tips that bird gave you i think i had like ~70% of them?

[@KingYoshi93]

It was great on the DSi too, where it debuted. 😊

[@Chickenbreadlp]

Oh man, you've just unlocked a bunch of memories of me playing around with the 3DS sound and camera apps! Man, those were some simpler times...😅

[@PanchamBro]

2:25 that first animated scene probably should've had a dsi logo instead of a 3ds one ...I'm sorry.

[@KnightOfGames]

when i was a kid i listened to fucking Game Grumps Remixes on the 3ds sound app all the time. 3ds sound and camera apps were absolute hood classics

[@ChozoFS]

I used the 3DS's stop motion feature all the time back in the day! I would make stop motion animations of my Halo megablocks figures and make them do cool fights and stuff. I would even put clay under their feet so they could be posed easier and show muzzle flashes from guns with a small wad of clay on the barrel

[@Farkonso]

You and Jon Cartwright making some of the best, niche Nintendo videos out there

[@Oretal]

Absolutely adored this vid. I knew a TON about the camera and sound apps on both systems but I still came out of this learning something. Mainly just bits I wouldn't have thought about learning or doing like the secrets folder in the sound app and why I would use the 3D slider on the 3ds cam (I barely thought about it much)

[@imBailout]

One of your best videos yet, seriously. Everything just came together to make this one really charming and informative. The Miyamoto-Sony scoreboard was too good lmao

[@Big-Chungus21]

One of my favourite things to do with 3DS Sound was to record a sound, increase its pitch and speed, increase it again, and so on until it was barely recognizable, and then decrease it again and again until it was back to normal but weirdly distorted.

[@cheeseyleaves]

I loved Nintendo 3DS camera abd sound as a kid! I kinda wish my 3DS XL still worked

[@fevernight123]

I remember spending so many hours playing with the dsi camera and music! I used the dsi as my ipod for a long time lol

[@sakihaya8196]

I had a dsi xl since before i could read and i loved that bird so much 😂

[@kieranking7173]

The DSi actually helped me with a college assignment once. After finishing ahead of everyone else (somehow), I wanted to throw in a little Easter Egg, so I recorded one on the DSi, played it backwards, and taught myself to say it backwards, all Twin Peaks-style. Maybe smartphones have a feature like that, but I've never figured it out.

[@ask343]

I have 207 hours on my 3DS camera 💀 that makes it my 4th most played title It's amazing though because I also travelled with it everywhere and it's so nostalgic seeing photos from 2012-present in 3D I even got my start in stop-motion animation with it

[@StarnyArt]

What a good video, super fun to watch!! I'm extremely nostalgic for the DSi and 3DS, so this was really cool to see. Keep up the good work man, it's awesome seeing how your content keeps improving over time!

[@RareSun]

THERE'S A BLUE PARAKEET IN THE SOUND APP!?!?!?

[@xxsusmasterxx5491]

I didn't even know the Streetpass function on the 3DS Sound existed!!!!

[@keithmorrison8373]

I seriously love the paraketts so much there really cute and i think its really cool they mimic what you say as they do that in real life as there a type of parrot

[@kinzerio]

no wayyy I also had a clip of the barrel roll song saved 💀

[@juliannocartagena2007]

I LOVED playing with these! I even look at some slideshows on 3DS Camera from time to time.

[@treymon3135]

Great video, the 3ds apps were what made me love the system so much.

[@panteirra84]

Thats a Freaking bird that you love

[@AJPiersonToonParadise]

Yep, I *definitely* remember using and fooling around with the Nintendo 3DS and Dsi.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I got my Nintendo DSi for my 15th birthday back in 2009. I loved using it as a camera, taking silly photos of myself and family. I also took pictures of what was on the TV, like the ending of The Uninvited (2009), The Tracey Fragments, and logos, to name a few. I have some great New York photos taken on my DSi as well as some in Quebec. Unfortunately, my DSi Camera stopped working in December 2011 and I can't use the camera in the DSi Camera app nor any other game that uses it. I do hope to get another one off eBay that hopefully has a working camera. Now to reminisce about my obsession with Emily Browning...

[@LandonEmma]

I wish I could have saved photos on my 3DS forever instead of deleting them

[@glassowlie]

I just started my 2DS XL today.

[@tani7421]

Ah... these were the best times of my childhood. I would use the 3DS camera all the time to record me and my friends playing with my Woody and Shrek dolls. Today they're hard to watch, but they'll also give me a smile.

[@AwesomeYena]

I just took a ridiclious amount pictures of my dog back then and drew hats on him or something.

[@JesusMartinez-rr2ry]

A nostalgia train had collided against me. I really missed the Nintendo DSI/3DS Camera and Sound stuff, and I especially missed those parakeets. They really should come back in all it's glory

[@SofiaPreCure]

I remember the Nintendo 3DS sounds when I was little they're adorable aww

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Man, I freaking LOVED the DSi camera and sound apps. I still have a lot of audio clips and photos from 2009-2011 saved to my 3DS that I brought over from my DSi. And I had no idea that 3DS Music even HAD streetpass support. probably because you could only enable streetpass on a couple programs at once, so I always had it set to things like Mario Kart for Ghost Data.

[@Penumbra_Morning_Star]

I also used the 3DS as my primary music player back in the day. wore out the headphone jack because it spent so much time in my pocket as I listened to music while I did other stuff

I still remember using my DSi back in 2020 - early 2023 as my music player before I used "certain sites" just so I can download and play them on my phone, and damn was it great (hell, the DSi's speakers didn't sound too bad playing music).

Growing up with both a DSi and a 3DS it was very nice to see the music player showcased here since i never figured out how to put music on it :o AND I NEVER REALIZED THE TWO CAMERAS WERE FOR THE 3D EFFECT WHAT. Really awesome vid :D

[@uniatq]

Dsi sound is still to this day my favorite mp3 player and I wish that mobile music players had half the features that it had

[@Poyostar]

Gosh, I remember just screwing around with these in my youth. Mainly the sound applications. On my old DSi, I filled the bubbles up with so many cringe-inducing lines. Good times, indeed...

[@koopdawhoop.]

in 2022 my phone's battery basically died so i actually loaded my DSi with music and used it to jam on the daily. they're still there! ^_^

[@koopdawhoop.]

small thing: you didn't mention that some of the L and R sfx can trigger a secret 3rd sound if you press both buttons at the same time. awesome video :3

[@keithmorrison8373]

I would always touch the parakeet as some of its advice was pretty useful

[@1237-v8p]

Great video give me memories of when I used to film all sorts of videos with my friends I wish I still had those clips Good Times!

[@triple_lei]

Huh, I only found out about this at all from messing around in Mario Clock on the 3DS...

[@susctopus]

Ive gotten my DSI in 2010 and I got so much use out of the camera app. I should've used the sound app more, the features that i didn't know about sound pretty fun.

[@MysteryEzekude]

Well, colour me surprised! I had no idea that the Nintendo DSi has more features for Photo and Sound than the Nintendo 3DS!

[@Eliasfunplay]

21:55: The blue parrakeet is cool, but it's just a little Easter egg and not meant to be a permanent thing. He always says the same thing the green parakeet doesn't repeat what you say in the microphone🎤 while the blue parrakeet is there, and the second you update your streetpass data, he goes away.

[@lrgogo1517]

I've never been a 'listens to songs' person, so I never got to experience this *huge chunk* of 3DS Sound. My first time seeing footage of the cutesy music visualizers contained within this record-10-secs-of-your-voice app was probably a 'what the *heck* 😠?' moment

[@spacem80]

Dude, I wasted so much time messing around with this stuff as a kid. The coolest thing I remember being able to do with the DSi camera was getting the mischeif filter to appear on two faces at once on a screenshot of The Wiggles that I took. Sign of the times.

[@colingznetworkplus4618]

They went all out for these applications

[@PowerfulMint]

Goddd I forget how much utility the DSi camera app had specifically

[@andaro.77]

I must say, from the short time that I had a DSi XL and my current N3DS(mall), I like both the camera apps. In fact, I'll be going on a trip soon, and I'll be comparing my N3DS to a standard point-and-shoot, to my Galaxy S22 Ultra, just to see what has changed over the years, as I'm sure the point-and-shoot I'll be borrowing will be a 2000's era model.

[@Infinitytacos]

man I love the ds camera apps. I had a dsi that had photos from like 10 years ago, and constantly took pictures with it up until last year, sadly lost all of that due to water damage on the motherboard :(

[@Danominator]

I also made the 3DS Sound my music player for years!! It was the best thing until to had to wait for the loading between songs 🙃

[@RyanBeardy]

I had so much fun as a dumb kid with the DSi when it came out thanks to the Camera Mic and all the simple games and apps on the DSiWare shop.

[@amwajbahr31]

when i was in elementery school i had the exact same one i loved it so much but some cousins asked to give it to them for a few days to play and they lost it im in highschool now and i'm still not over it i want to go back see all the pictures i took play the sonic ratatouille and all the brain and mental games ugh i wish someone could make an asmr video of it showing all it features and play on it i'd cryyyyyyyyyyyy

as a kid i could never figure out how to get music to show up that wasnt from the recorder so i would hold my 3ds up to the radio and record music that way 😭😭 i think i might still have a few of those lingering around on my original 3ds

[@cosmicjenny4508]

I also used the 3DS Camera and Sound apps heavily… it’s not like there were any games at launch lmao I used to make little Lego animations and play around with the 3D at lot, and I also got my dad to put some MP3s on the SD card so I could listen to some Michael Jackson in the sounds app. A few months ago I got bored and put all of The Beatles’ Abbey Road onto the SD card.

Y'know, it's stuff like this that makes me feel like the Switch is soulless in comparison to the 3DS, and part of the reason why I still take my 3DS with me when I go out-and-about...
