    I get the whole choice overload thing. I do love R4 cards/twilight menu though, because you can use unintended methods to get dlc that would otherwise be lost to time. I deal with choice overload by deliberately limiting myself to 1-3 games that I play until I beat them or 100 % depending on how fun that seems to be for the game. I've beaten, and mostly done 100%, in 13 games this year. It doesn't sound impressive, but it has been a super busy year xD

    Hey I just discovered your channel through the few 30 day challenges you posted. You keep mentioning Greece. I’m Greek-American myself, and used to bring my trusty OG Game Boy to our summer trips to Messini and Sparti in 1989-1993. No one my age had ever seen such an exotic device, you could hardly even find a regular NES anywhere (although arcade games is where Europe shined, lol). So many deep, wonderful memories of my summers at the beach, around the family “periptero”, even my mother’s village of Karyes (outside Sparti) where AA batteries were virtually nonexistent…so no finishing Gargoyle’s Quest till you get back to the city! These days I have a massive 3500-game CIB collection spanning all Nintendo and PlayStation consoles, but will never forget where my love for so many franchises started! Like you, I’m now sharing my faves with my young kids. Thanks for the great stories, subscribing.

    I picked up my dsi I got in a charity shop for €10. I’m playing Pokémon white. I’m loving it. Being an older gamer I was to old for the original Pokémon craze back in the 90’s. The DS is still an awesome handheld in 2023. Excellent video. I stick to three games at a time. So far I have finished 21 games this year. I’m never going to beat my backlog even is I life until 150. But there is something nice about sticking to games and finishing them.

    I had the DS from launch and you have a few games here I never knew were in the DS 😂
    As for Duke Nukem why didn't they just take inspiration from the OG 2d games they were fun and it'd been great on the ds.

I love seeing you enjoy games, and talk about ur absolutely wonderful family in between. It’s just such a cozy vibe, if you know what I mean?

    Calling in sick, playing video games, with Batman the Animated Series on in the background. Now THAT is well played!
    I've often been interested in the Professor Layton games as I often hear such good things about the series.
    Really adored the time you still spent with the kiddos while playing, like with the Minecraft quick build guide or just time spent on the couch together. That's awesome and certainly a benefit of handheld playing; it leaves the TV freed up meaning you can still hang out in the same room and interact with family and friends.
    WOO!!! Get that Chrono Trigger on, yeah boy! I've had so much fun playing through this one again, but now, getting to chat with all the Retro Refresh and more about our experiences. Go figure, Duke Nukem gets the shaft yet again... The Mario vs. DK games are so good; cannot wait for the one coming to Switch. Used to have fun playing the Trauma Center games on the Wii with some buddies back when we worked in surgery.
    What!? Is that last screen for real? Aaaand my hands are aching already. lol

    The DS is truly such a dazzling console. I'm 32 and, yes, there's some level of nostalgia at play and, yes, I'm further biased due to the disproportionate amount of time I played it compared to other systems- but it really was the wild west. You really had no idea what kind of game you were going to be playing next- the variety of titles was and still is truly mind boggling. The console that I spent hundreds of hours on a watered down Phantasy Star Online sequel is the same system I played mario, a GTA spinoff, a first person horror FPS, a 3D voxel puzzle game, a synthesizer song maker, a touch only ninja gaiden, a choose your own adventure book game and a stick man challenge platformer on.
    The 3DS is typically regarded as the superior platform due to its more modernized and refined feature set, but the DS library just blows it out of the water in the variety department. It strongly reminds me of PC gaming in the DOS era. Every new game was a vastly different experience from the last. It was first party nintendo games mixed with experimental gaming bliss. DS was the fucking GOAT

    • @ChronikSpartan

      Beautiful description mate and totally spot on! The thing I really loved about the DS was it was the beginning of Nintendo thinking outside of the box and getting it right. Sure the Virtual Boy was a thing but the technology at the time couldn't deliver on the dream. DS on the other hand delivered on all of its awesome ideas.

Your house sounds like it had a lot of peace and understanding in it. I go back just to listen to you talking about your warm memories rather than watching the review for the game.

    Haven’t started the video yet sorry hahah, but I’ll leave this comment here for now, before I come back later to check out the full video:
    One recommendation for DS -
    *Plants vs Zombies.*
    I literally can’t stress it enough.
    It’s so f-ing good. It’s like the “pre EA” version of the game, the OG idea, meaning before EA came in and added all that microtransaction BS etc etc. It’s clearly before the buyout; Plants vs Zombies in quite possibly it’s purest form.
    It’s SO freaking charming; there’s over 30+ plants (and almost as many zombies), and you unlock a new plant after every single round (aka after every victory - smart way to constantly “spice up” the gameplay; that way it never became stale, because there was always some new game mechanic to learn, or something else I needed to “adapt to”, etc etc).
    The plants are all so unique and fun, and they all have something distinct to their abilities, along with the fact that they’re also given “human-like” traits/personalities (like a cute little description of them in their bio, that mostly just talks about them as if they’re just a regular human person with thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams and aspirations, etc lmao - and not as a weird ass plant 🪴)
    And somewhat the same with zombies! Surprisingly unique-looking as well all of them, and with some very fun designs and variations etc when it comes to attacks/weaknesses and other things :-)
    The game has so much life and personality, and humour, and heart - the developers (PopCap I think the studio is called) clearly put so much time and effort into this game; it’s so clear. And I honestly haven’t been having so much fun in ages lol. In fact, I’m kinda (definitely!) addicted at this point hahah (help)
    In terms of what it looks like as a game on the DS, it mostly functions as a “mobile game”, actually, if that makes sense; most of the “action itself” happens at the bottom touch screen - except for the progress bar of each wave/round, which is located at the bottom of the top screen; everything else there is just some fun visuals and whatnot. :-)
    It’s what I’m imagining the OG-version of the mobile looked like as well, mostly - before EA came in later with all of their lousy updates and etc, obviously 😅
    Anyway, point is… it’s really, really, REALLY good lol. And there’s so much to do, too; even after the “story mode” (“Adventure”) is over, as there is so, so much post-game content as well. Lots of fun.
    And in my personal opinion, it’s also a MUST PLAY for ANY Nintendo DS owner - and especially if you haven’t played (any version of) PvZ before at all!
    Check it out if you can everyone
    :-)

    I loved playing chrono trigger but I never finished it and I gifted my dsi to my sister with my copy of it. Tried to play it on my phone and the touch screen is a bit meh. I can play it on the ps vita via the ps1 game but it’s so terribly slow and laggy it wouldn’t be a fun experience. I’m hoping that they re release it on the switch, it would make me actually use the switch (hundreds of digital games but no real interest) I usually just play my ps5 tbh.
    I’d also be interested if you revisited the gba, I feel like there are some real hidden gems on that system and that it takes more than 30 days to really appreciate what’s there and to sink the time into it. I feel the gba has many games like golden sun! As well as many snes classics. I feel your gba 30 days left a little to be desired, while your dmg and ds videos were amazing! The gba was revolutionary with its use of gba movie carts where you could watch shows etc. I beg you, if you get another chance to revisit a 30 day challenge please do gba again! A part two! And on that thought wave, perhaps even a dmg part 2 but this time using an ips mod ;)

    I hate that you got Covid, but, I'm glad that it was a later variant, as they're not nearly as likely to give you lasting effects (though, still possible). I got the Delta variant and I've only JUST finally started getting over the vascular and cardiovascular issues I've been having over the past year and a half.
    One game you should check out, if you have the possibility of playing it, is the Ni No Kuni Translation for the DS. I'd contend its a much better game than the PS3, and Remastered versions (though those are not bad games at all). Level-1 makes incredible experiences (Jeane D'Arc on PSP being one of my personal faves!). I'd love to see a PSP and Vita 30 day challenge.

      @@ChronikSpartan no worries, I literally had the original DS but as soon as I could get the PSP i jumped at the chance and hindsight is a wonderful thing, I would definitely have chosen the DS if I had that time again or I’d have had the best of both worlds as the DS has a charm to it that many people feel that the Switch (which i do own) lacks, I’m not one of those people as I love my Switch but I think the DS and Wii were where Nintendo really became to stand out and really innovate and the Switch is literally every Nintendo console since the DS, 3DS, Wii, WIi U rolled into one and you could say I made the choice I wish I’d made when the DS came out and I chose the Switch over the PS5 this time around (I had a PS4 and I just couldn’t get into any of its games) I’d love to see you cover the 3DS which is another system I’m also wanting to collect for.

Force myself to only play that console and its games for a week. This way by the time you finish multiple systems it’s been possibly a few months.

    By the way, if you decide to do a 3DS version of this challenge, you should be wary that all 3DS models will only play the game from the region it's made for. For example: PAL 3DSes can only play PAL games. Although, all of them can play DS games through backwards compatability, so your PAL 3DS can still play NTSC-U DS games, vice-versa.
