The DS definitely didn't catch on until the DS Lite came around. That's when they really started focusing towards the casual market. I forget the original model of the DS even exists sometimes lol.

[@Jason777123]

It's the opposite for me. I had the original model since 2005 when I was a little kid and never touched the Lite. The thing I remember the most is being blown away by Super Mario 64 DS.

[@4ndr3w]

The original DS is really hard to find. I liked how it looked too.

[@EyeOfArgus]

when I was a kid I had the lite and one time I met a kid with an original DS and its mere existence baffled me

[@MyBebopBlues]

My friend had the original DS and I was blown away by its 2 screens and the games at the time so I had begged my mom to buy me one so after a few months had passed, we went to target and saw that the box said DS Lite. I thought that was the DS’s official name so I didn’t think anything of it until I opened the box in my car and noticed the GBA game I had on hand wasn’t fully hidden. Not that I minded though as I was able to fit the actual thing in my pocket

I prefer the original model and it's D-pad because it's easier to snake in Mario Kart DS than on DS Lite.

34:54 the reason some GBA games are weirdly bright is because they were designed with the original Gameboy Advance in mind, since the screen was dark and not very colorful. It's the same reason why all the Super Mario Advance games are weirdly bright and saturated.

[@lakitudude7577]

4 isn't saturated as much since the sp was out at that point

[@shanez1215]

Some late GBC games could also check the console they were running on and add enhancements to the game. Usually it was changing the color pallete to a brighter one due to the GBA's screen.

[@SuspiciousScout]

That's actually really fascinating, I never knew that. It makes so much sense for the games looking so bright rather than being an artistic choice. It really is a shame the original model didn't have a backlit screen because I prefer that model's form factor way more than the SP's

[@lonecom685]

I've always had this feeling that the DS belonged to 2006 rather than 2004. You just put everything I always thought into words. In 2004, the GBA was still getting a bunch of new games (by not only being popular, but also fairly new) and the DS's library wasn't that big. I feel like it was a "system in development". Other than that, the DS Lite (which is the version most of us associate with the console) only came out in 2007.

[@neetpride5919]

So true. I've seen a ton of DS Lites, and a few of the various other models, but I've never seen an OG fat DS, not even in a used game store

I'm a bit older, i remember when the DS came out and I love the phat one so much, is so comfortable and I remember being super excited because it felt so futuristic. The fact that you could play Mario 64 on a handheld and it had two screens and the speakers sound soo good. Idk it was the first system I bought with my own money when I was 14.

[@otrapendejada]

So yeah it felt like a powerful system, futuristic and cool. I fell for the marketing

[@optiMiskitPlus]

Any day Scott mentions Rhythm Heaven is a good day.

[@TheLegoNation]

20:28 “I’ve played the most of the paper Mario games that people hate including super paper Mario” That was a good game but I feel like the gameplay got people mixed on it

[@Omelander]

When I was little I wanted it because I thought Mario as paper was cool and the 2D and 3D flip gimmick

[@PScoopYT]

Yeah the gameplay of SPM was mixed to a lot of people. Heck for me I liked it less than Sticker Star's gameplay lol.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Due to it being the first Paper Mario game I ever played and being so huge into platformers at the time, Super Paper Mario is definitely one of my favorite Mario games period. But I totally get why some would hate it.

[@ncisfan1002]

SPM is the only Paper Mario game where you get to play as both Peach and Bowser so honestly it's top-tier

[@infernoROBO]

While the gameplay is mixed, at least the characters and story were bangers. Dimentio & Count Bleck were such good characters

[@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243]

I love how Nintendo didn’t use a screenshot from the SpongeBob movie for the “more GameCube titles on the way” page. They just used a screenshot from Pickles instead

[@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243]

I came by just to state the fact that I can't believe the DS launched the year I started kindergarten. I don't remember anyone talking about that system until I was in middle school, which by that point, the 3DS was right around the corner (2009/2010)

[@RealThatDesignerGuy]

I will say, for someone who has designed a lot of catalogs similar to this layout - that Sponge Bob thing was probably a last minute addition before it went to print and they didn't have a screen grab so they took whatever they had. I'm guessing they picked that because it looked generic enough and could pass as a "cut scene". It's what I would have done honestly.

[@connorburton1009]

If memory serves, GBA Video is the reason I got a GBA SP (My first game system). We went on a lot of road trips, and my mom bought portable DVD players to give me something to do on the trip. After I think the third one fell of my lap and broke, she bought me a GBA SP and some video cartridges, since it was definitely more durable than the cheap DVD players. Sure, my selection was a lot more limited, but as a kid I was perfectly content watching Krusty Krab Pizza over and over again.

[@nootw]

I gotta make a comment on Urbz: Sims in the City. I LOVED that game. I don’t know what it was, but my brother and cousins all loved it. We all played that game over and over. Def played it the most out of any of those early titles. good times. Hearing the soundtrack takes me right back

God, I used to, scratch that, still love catalogs and brochures. Even as a kid, I loved to keep the cardboard back from the action figures I would get to see what other toys were available and I loved when they had little character info on them. I would even cut out the little pictures of the Star Wars ships and just play with those. I remember one Christmas my parents made a stocking for the stuffed Pikachu that was basically my teddy bear (that I slept with until an embarassingly late age. I still have it in my closet) and they just filled it with all of the flyers and brochures and catalogs that the stores gave out while they were Christmas shopping. I was almost as excited for that stuff as I was for my actual gifts. The ads for the translucent color N64s blew my little mind. I really love seeing Scott gush about this stuff.

Nintendogs was from that period of the DS, and it was really, really popular. It was the only reason I wanted a DS, same for a lot of other kids in my school. Simpler times I guess. I’ll admit I still like the feel of the original DS more than the Lite.
