Thanks.

I won my DSi during a primary school assembly. It was a glorious moment.

[@ionpeen]

Sounds like your school was lit

[@om4gaa]

I got my dsi at a pawn shop with games in it Sonic Rush,Rush Adventure and Colors.I am rn playing on my dsi wich I now hb and jailbroke

[@kenwayzzko7943]

My mom bought mine but someone stole it

[@yellowsnake1048]

What fucking school is that we were lucky to win a mini bag of haribo

[@BandanaBoyIRL]

I stole mine from a homeless woman's child who i think was like 5

DSi has once again become my daily driver and favorite console beating the 3ds

[@RolandKoller90]

I hacked my dsi xl and my sons dsi. We have been on a very long Pokémon binge. They are the best.

i remember after nintendo announced the closure of the 3ds eshop, the next day a kid in my german class was trying to convince my teacher to give him the money to buy bird and beans (pyoru) in a super overly dramatic debate format. was really funny, iirc she actually did buy it for him afterward since it was only like four bucks or something.

[@JamieDaGameRX]

Just searched it up, game was 2 dollars haha, looks fun. That guy sounds like a legend.

[@soleanna14]

i ordered a fancy japanese new 3ds recently. while waiting for it to arrive, i was cleaning out my room and found my old dusty dsi. i modded it & filled up the sd card. needless to say, the new 3ds is still in the box. i have no idea why, or what it even is that draws me to it. technically speaking, the 3DS is just a better DSi. but for some reason, i just vastly prefer playing ds games on my DSi. something about it, i guess

[@LorianandLothric]

Uh, probably because DS games look a lot better on a DS than 3DS. Difference is night and day.

[@Kurozu1991]

DS games look better on a DSi. Something about the 3DS's screen messes them up.

[@aishacs]

And dsi xl is the best

[@GIR177]

​@@Kurozu1991 It has to do with the pixel density and the resolution of the DS/DSi being 1:1 with the games. Native systems are much more clear whereas the 3DS will have some native blur to it because there are more pixels. You can still have DS games run at their native resolution by holding Start/Select before you boot up the game, but you just end up with ugly black borders around the screen.

[@fliurii]

as someone who has a Dsi coming tomorrow, I can confirm that it is a w console

[@ZenitsuKunn]

hows ur dsi

[@michaelstudio579]

When i was little i used to play games at first and then on the last 3 days before the charger for my dsi Broke, i would play Flipnote studio to toy with the last few little animations that were trash and it became a memory that i will never forget. its sad it all dissapeared.

[@bibasik7]

Fun fact: Asphalt 4 was also released on the iPod. No, not the iPod Touch. The old click wheel iPod. The iPod games were available on iTunes, but they removed that part of the store in 2011, so there is no way to get Asphalt 4 besides finding an iPod that already has it installed. A few of the other games were cracked, allowing people to install them without buying them, but efforts to crack the remaining games died off as the iPod lost popularity. Since it has now been over a decade since the store was shut down, it's unlikely that these games will ever be cracked.

[@minignoux4566]

oh boy you wouldn't know how far the rabbit hole goes... trust me, there are so many versions of asphalt 4 that you wouldn't wanna know

[@coprguy58]

when it comes to the ds i play obscure games like de blob 2 (scott the woz has a copy of it ) and trackmania these were total gems (the 2d sonic games were good too)

[@Slmpjh]

nintendogs sounds like a quality game

[@mafiaties8910]

I got the dsi during 2016 and I was so happy man I miss it

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

Honestly for years I never knew how the DSi was and still is one of the best classic DS models out there. Sure, it lacks the GBA slot, but that can be easily remedied with some hacking. It’s the only classic DS that has an SD card slot, its buttons are MUCH nicer than the DS lite’s, the design resists fingerprints much better, it uses the same charger as the 3DS last I checked, it has a much better menu, the star button doubles a reset button so no more shutting the whole console off to get back to the main menu, it has WiFi and its own dedicated store, and overall, it’s just a wonderful system. I’ve always seen the 3DS as a whole different type of console, and the DSi as the last true original classic DS. Well done on this video!

[@ocsanik502]

Wdym this is objectively the best of the original ds models

[@chilledgamering]

not now the lack of gba support and everything you could want out of this is on the 3ds

[@ocsanik502]

@@chilledgamering i said original ds models, the 3ds is backwards compatible but the architecture is a lot different

before I moved, me and my friend would play MKDS together and use picto chat in class (since our classes were right next to eachother)

[@Gary-Eng]

this channel has the quality of one with 40,000 subs, how are you so niche?

[@skiiminette6725]

I had a DSi and a 3DS but never had a DS. I watched someone play a game from her DS but that's as far as it got. But I do remember constantly losing my touchscreen stick 😂

[@FlintG]

I have the dsi xl that thing still is great I did recently hack it too so I can load all my games on the sd card and even play retro games on it lol.

[@whit_theweirdo]

I got my dsi when I was about 3-6 years old from my parents and I juts found it recently and literally can't find any media about it

[@iamspinosaur3513]

minis march again is a great ds/3ds

[@bkoldies]

I have a dsi with that same color

[@trasher2848]

Great video!

[@boliRoblox]

Yes review the artstyle games you have!

[@pizzaman64lol]

TIL you can install custom firmware on a DSi so you can still play DSiWare games today! Will definitely be trying that out

[@pik3177]

im glad i got a dsi xl so i can play all of my favorite games on a big screen and mess around with my flash cart that i use with my phat ds often and i modded my dsi within the same day of me getting it

[@pogo3751]

The DSi was a huge part of my childhood bro ✨

I just bought my dsi yesterday at a yardsale for 5 bucks it works great and has never been opened

[@jumentoqueanima]

It's my childhood.

[@corneluis12]

you are unironically so underrated! Instant sub

[@phorchybug3286]

Yeah. DSiWare is a beautiful gem, forgotten in time. Thankfully I picked up a couple of titles on 3DS before all that died off.

[@rileypak494]

Dude. Great video.
