I just found you 2 days ago and I’ve already binged all your videos and watched them multiple times. You are one of my favorite content creators right now and you have a great style. If someone were to, hypothetically, create a place on this hellhole of the internet to be a nice chill pitstop, no one could do it better than you. Keep up the good work man.
bro, thank you wow, considering a big thing with my channel was creating a chill pitstop vibe you telling me this really makes all the effort worth it.
Same! I found his videos when i saw the anime fashion and saw my favorite anime yu yu hakusho on the thumbnail and was like "man of class, taste and culture'.
@@contentcop man I'm feelin the love thanks my dudes!
Right how does this guy not have millions of views already? We'll have to share with our friends or something to fix this
I think the man's about to hit the circulation for serious exponential growth. If Naked Jacob needs a break our boi here will be just fine
The thing I loved most about handheld consoles was that everybody had their own. Home consoles are typically a one per family kind of thing, but owning a DS, while my brothers had their own and my friends and their siblings had their own just made it all the more fun when we came together for Pokémon Battles or Mario Kart races. Individuality and camaraderie in one console.
Well spoken
same can be said with my pc lol
@@user-yk1cw8im4h But the thing with a pc is that it's less social. Cause people don't carry their pc around to play. It's easy to sit together with a DS and play a few rounds.
@@freyafrettchen3808 not when my pc is a steamdeck
Being portable, cheap, and fun are great.
I've had the PSP, Gameboy, Ds, 3DS, and Vita and man I gotta thank those systems dearly for keeping me entertained for hours upon hours on budgets my family could afford.
vita Goated Love My Oled 1000
I am missing DS and 3DS. Probably need to get 3DS as it can run both.
Man the vita is amazing, you can litteraly play all nes/snes/gb/gbc/gba library ♥
StreetPass on the 3DS was a cultural generational experience no one else will get to have.
Going to highschool and just checking at the beginning of the class how many people I passed by has been unmatched.
Nothing ever matched going to a game convention and getting all those passes.
I had a 3ds in a school where no one cared about the 3ds (besides my friend group basically) so I had no idea what streetpass was or did
The nintendo DS and 3DS were the height of gaming for me. Playing with my brother these incredible games in the palm of our hands. Being able to use both screens to play games in ways that we never thought possible. We even got my little sister to start playing games with us, and she never even touched video games before. It truly was a magical time
“My future is in the palm of my hands”😉🤣
"babe wake up! new Internet Pitstop video just dropped!"
Me at 5 am rn :
Did your left hand wake up in time?
We all no lol you ain’t got no babe
@@shadowingmirror4634 i have a fiance!
@@Y2Kikiicongrats. Just proposed a few hours ago... And now I'm watching internet pitstop. Oh well, I can't help it
Hearing Golden Sun mentioned makes me feel some type of way, what an absolute gem
I stayed up all night til the sun came up when I first got Golden Sun. Loved that game so much.
I gotta say - as someone whose been round the anituber block for a while - your style of video essays is probably one of the most original I've seen in years.
I love the mix of cool retro vibes with old school internet humour and your ability to simultaneously celebrate and poke fun at the cringe that resides within us all.
Thank you! I try my best to keep self aware lol
@@InternetPitstop As a great meme once said, "I am cringe, but I am free"
Yes!
i can definetly see the nakey jakey inspiration in your essay style videos
shout out to Chris.
I just love the fact that I found this guy when he was like less than the thousand and everytime he uploeads there's always more and more people commenting how they found him days ago and are impressed with the quality/saying how he's underrated. He basically just shares what he feels and we are all glad to be around to hear
You really were here really early ! I remember your pfp and everything it’s good to see you again!
He's awesome 😂
Well you're certainly right cause I've just subscribed
@@InternetPitstop I don't always comment but be sure I'm always watching m8, love your stuff keep up the good work
It's the exact type of content I've missed since NakeyJakey kinda started posting 1 vid a year.
Just a guy rambling about shit he's passionate about in games n stuff with some fun editing here and there.
As a Female gamer the Nintendo DS was truly the most magical gaming device for me. That iconic pastel pink color coupled with more feminine games like Nintendogs/Dogz, the Cooking Mama universe, the whole “imagine” series, Animal Crossing, Super Princess Peach, and Brain Age. Just so many games that actually interested my young girl/teen mind. 😂💕🌸💅🏽
as someone who grew up with a gba sp and loved handheld gaming ever since, this video speaks to me. the most immersive games I have ever played, have always been on handhelds.
My little brother and I would have matching systems, and would always link up on gba or ds, be it kingdom hearts chain of memories, the pokemon series, or N+. My extended family would start associating the two of us with the handhelds, my uncle Jimmy calling it the knucklehead box. Good times.
As much as I love the switch, I really hope they make a successor to the 3ds, the dual screens + stylus were definitely made for certain types of games that the switch just can’t fulfill
its probably the end of the ds line, the 3ds was a successor to the ds
I thought they'd turn the Wii U into a giant DS emulation machine officially, but I'm still holding my breath :X
I want street pass back also :c
Never found a CZcamsr with so many shared takes and experiences. Anime, manga, games, just everything. Goated, deserves 10x views without a doubt.
I am indeed a multifaceted nerd lol
You know I went into this video really disliking handhelds but at 7:39 your argument was so insightful, well put together, articulate and convincing that it really changed my view. Thanks man.
EDIT: Also the part at 7:54
I've never been more confident a channel will blow up than this one. Please keep up what you're doing. I would bet all my money that this channel has over a million subs by this time next year. Love your channel man
being able to play videogames after bedtime in the dark without your parents ever finding out should have been the selling point of the gamegear
just saw your "the beauty of 90's anime aesthetic" vid this morning, really good stuff man! very underated, super entertaining:)
Same here. It was an instant subscribe
Same great vid. Yt recommends does it for once
He's great 😂
Same
I adore the DSes and privacy with my hobbies was important when I was growing up with them. I didn't need a dedicated room, wifi, or a TV to play them. And I love the idea of a game console, for play, being more like a toy than a contorted computer.
Love to see the TWEWY shoutout, still the best touch screen combat I've ever seen even after years of mobile games
Was also nice that the OG DS was a brick of pure Nintendium. Used that thing 'til the battery burned out from recharge cycles, but the Lites kept burning out their shoulder buttons
GBA and DS gaming was my childhood. My introduction to Pokemon started here in Hoenn, stuck to it since then despite the decline and hopeful it will get better again (Legends Arceus gives me hope it will). TWEWY changed my perspective in the importance of socializing as a whole. Loved Megaman Battle Network, so hyped for the port! Loved a lot of games that came out at this time and so happy a lot of it has been ported to today’s consoles and steam now.
I recently modded my sp with a new IPS screen and shell. Then I played Golden Sun and The Lost Age back-to-back over the past couple of months. Doing this has totally rekindled my love for handhelds. I play on my lunch break and when I get in bed. It's so nice to have these little 20-30 min play sessions.
Was it easy? I was thinking about doing an IPS screen on the original GBA as my first real modding project.
(I've fixed all types of stuff and am comfortable with electronics general, but I've never soldered before so that's always been the biggest obstacle for me.)
(Also, screw new phones and laptops and stuff where you need a damn heatgun and pry tool just to open them up)
@@infasis I can only speak to modding a GBA SP. I wouldn't call it easy as I had no prior experience with soldering but I learned along the way! Most of the modding is just taking apart the SP carefully. The one solder job was if you want 6 levels of brightness in which case you have to solder 1 wire. I bought all my parts from Retro Modding and Handheld Legend.
All in all highly recommended. It's a lot of fun and the new screens really make you appreciate how beautiful some of those old games are.
@@bclikesyou Nice, thank you. I think I might just buy a soldering kit and start practicing. A few mods I'm interested in it's optional like that, but I'm kinda picky and learning really is long overdue for me.
The GBA will always have a special place in my heart... Afrer my parents divorced, I was constantly moving from one house to another. The GBA my father had bought me quickly became my best friend. Life was kinda rough at that time and it felt so good to be able to escape in great video games at any time.
FFTA, Sword of Mana, The Legend of Zelda ALTTP and TMC (to name a few)
Man! so many adventures... :')
That story reminded me of a classmate as a kid who’s mother who knew nothing about video games decided to clean his Nintendo DSI. And all his cartridges. In the sink. With soap and water. Yeah he was out of a console for about 3 years until he got a 3DS because his mother thought she was being nice to him by washing his “toys”
Golden Sun in the thumbnail? That was my childhood! So many fond memories in handheld games. Pokemon, Golden Sun, all the rpgs were gold.
You just named so many great games!
I love the 3ds because of the modding possibilities. I can make custom themes, emulate games, and enjoy the gb and ds library via twilight menu :3 plus I can use flipnote studio! I bring my 3ds w me all the time in hopes that I’ll get a street pass but it rarely happens. Still, when I do it’s special. Also it enables my picross addiction lol
@@feelingafnar8885 yeah but then I’d have to buy one lol, I have like 3 3ds’s lying around from over the years. But if I’d grown up playing the vita I’d def look into it :p
Handhelds have always been my go-to choice of console, which is why the Switch and Steam Deck feel soooooo good to me.
I think part of the appeal was that, because they're so portable, I felt like I could get more privacy when gaming. Having space instead of sharing the TV with siblings, having space instead of sharing the TV with roommates, etc. There is something so nice about curling up in a bed or couch with just you and the game
shoutout to Chris
As I kid I too spent WAY too much time trying to figure out that Phantom Hourglass puzzle so I closed my DS out of both boredom and frustration. I returned like five minutes later and I realized that closing it was the key and that moment of discovery will live with me forever
Same, bro. Same >.>
I literally looked up an faq without closing my DS after staring at it for like an hour
all i had to do was close the damn thing to like go to the bathroom or something but I was so intent on finishing that puzzle that I refused to put my DS down
Just found the channel like 3 hours ago and I've been binging this shit since. And you know I just have to give credit to to just how high quality these videos are. This channel is set up in the way that I feel like every kid from the late 90's and early 2000's dreamed of. Talking passionately about anime and games that our generation grew up with, while spicing up the videos with little quirks that are uniquely you, like your sense of fashion and humor. It's like watching the next evolution of NakeyJakey. Just wanted to pretty much day keep up the good work, and enjoy knowing that I now going to watch some tutorials on editing videos, so I can fail to make a video as inspired and cool as yours.
Dude thank you it’s always great to hear that ppl are inspired by my stuff just like I was inspired by my favorite creators much love man ❤️
This internet pitstop is quickly becoming a favorite repeat destination. Like the Minish Cap, this whole channel is certified banger material that's highly underrated.
Also, shoutout to Chris.
Recently found your channel and I’m just blown away by the quality of your videos. This video made me feel so nostalgic about my childhood. Keep up the great work my dude!!!
This is super similar to my experience. This was the golden age. Gba and ds was like the perfect way to just have access to incredible games at any time. Quality games made for the systems. Instead of doing homogenous 3d graphics we had memorable and future proof art styles that look better than most early 3d games and have more personality than most modern games. Pokemon games specifically had so much more character before 3d.
3DS look great actually. A lot of them still look great, just like 2D Pokémon. I’d rather have a new 3DS with 3D and 2D games then just 2D games 100%
@@bunniesiatc449 Idk, I'd take the charming and incredible stylish pixel style of Pokémon BW 1&2 over any of the new 3D Pokémon games any day. They just look too neutered and have no character, imo.
I love his sense of humor and style of editing. Just found him yesterday watched like 6 of his vids and I had to subscribe. I see his sub growth has ramped up as well which is well deserved!
Thank you! I’m doing my best !
Agreed 😂
I was genuinely having a mental breakdown over the fact that you mentioned Twewy, it’s one of my favorite game of all time and the sequel is as fucking good.
The absolute vibeage of this channel cannot be overstated. I LOVEEEE the bumps. Very me at age 8 cuddled up in front of the TV at 2 am hoping my parents don't hear while I watch reruns of Robot Chicken while simultaneously playing pokemon platinum on my Nintendo DS Lite vibes.
If you're a Jrpg loving weeb and didnt check out the PSP you really did yourself a disservice. It has an astounding catalog of RPGs, many of which are exclusive to the system. Legend of Heroes, Ys, Brave Story, Jeanne D'arc and so many more. GBA is still my favorite system, it came out when I was in high school and all of my friends had one. Great library of games and many of them hold up super well.
Ys is a real old series, dating back to the NES if memory serves. I think most of the games were ported to Steam at some point; although, I'm not sure about the one that was on PSP
Also P3P
I still swear that the SP was the best of the handheld consoles. Easy enough to hide in class, long enough battery, and ergonomic enough to fit comfortably in hand. Wish the technology would have just advanced with it instead of going the massive tablet-lite style everything has gone with now.
It feels so refreshing discovering someone on CZcams who just creates positive and passionate content about whatever the heck they feel like. Your content just makes me feel so happy, but also a little teary eyed in some of the videos. I'm so glad to have stopped by, Thanks man.
When you mentioned the PSP it brought me an another level of nostalgia. My cousin had one and it was the most fun. Being Brazilian, consoles were always really expensive, but my cousin, who had a better condition than me, had one. I remember seeing him play and waiting for my turn, or asking him directions because I got lost on GTA, or playing ninja turtles. Good times. Till this day, I've never had a console (other than a broken ps3 that my other rich cousin gave me), but talking about it still gives me the nostalgia sadness.
PS: I'm the older cousin, and having to rely on my little rich cousins to play always was a little sad, but I always had fun! Shoutout from Brasil!
You're channel is such a vibe man, I like to feel some kind of comfort and chill energy.
That’s the vibe I was going for!
Dude yes! Another banger bro! And I 100% agree. The GBA and DS were game changing for me and my friends. That thing went literally everywhere with me, no exceptions. Keep the grind going man, I’m here for it 💪🏽
Great video dude! My favorite handheld memory is playing Pokemon Crystal on the GBA. I also have very fond memories of playing Pokemon Ruby and two Medabots games, but Crystal was my first Pokemon game and it has a special place forever. I would get so immersed into that world, everything seemed so lifelike to me as a child. Amazing times.
My favorite place to play my ds was in the car on a long road trip to see family. I get carsick sometimes, but hiding under a blanket and plugging my earbuds in while playing the newest game my dad got for me was such a vital part of my childhood. I recently got to relive that for the first time in years when I got Hollow Knight for the switch the same day we were driving 3 hours to see family. Starting that game in the car was such a magically nostalgic feeling that it nearly brought me to tears.
And my first handheld was a SpongeBob game boy advanced that my dad got me after seeing how often I borrowed my moms game boy color. Minish cap and oracle of ages/seasons were character building for me
The Nintendo DS was my beginning for gaming. I met my best friend through pokemon diamond and pearl. Each copy has close to 1000 hours of play time on it.
Also a hidden gem from the DS era was Fossil fighters. Possibly the greatest game of all time.
Fossil Fighters is goated.
I got my first console for my 5th birthday, a 3Ds that I was immediately enthralled by (to the point where I asked everyone to leave my birthday party). It’s stayed with me for a little over ten years now and remains one of the purest sources of childhood bliss. My favourite game had to be animal crossing new leaf; I adored that game, I couldn’t even read but I still spent hours talking to villagers and trying to figure out how money worked. Thanks for another great video, suuuuuper nostalgic ♡
You’re videos have been hitting my feed hard for like the past week and you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators
Shout-out to Chris! This was another excellent video. I am enjoying your style of videos and enjoy the thoughtfulness that goes into them. Congrats on reaching over 100k subs. I just watched your video on how Yu-Gi-Oh impacted your life and I am glad to see how far this awesome channel has gotten so far. Cheers to all that is to come in the future!
YOOO THANK YOU for mentioning how awesome it was that DS games utilized every unique aspect of the console. Phantom Hourglass in particular utilized everything. Controlled well with the stylus, utilized it's two screens with the map (or to show off how tall one of the bosses is), gave tons of opportunities to control things or just doodle with the stylus. Hell, there's even an enemy you can kill by yelling at the mic. It's nuts.
Some great segways here, this really sparked a nostalgia bonfire in my mind of my childhood with Minish Cap, Mystery Dungeon, and Soulsilver. You have such a diverse interest pool that reminds me of my own which is awesome! Keep up the great contact bro💪
dude thank you! I always was into like things that don't usually correlate so its cool to be able to mention this stuff and someone to appreciate that about me much love man
Your vids are so warming and fresh, the style is so unique and I think it's in a league of its own. You've created something special.
Dude, I'm from Brazil and I'm just here to say that your channel was one of the best things I've stumbled upon this year. I've been binge watching all your videos and seriously, I shit you not, you inspired me a lot. I see a lot of me in you and that made me think that if I could do just 10% of what you do, I'll be happy af. Keep going dude. You're amazing.
Damn dude this was super real to read thank you my guy wish you the best
One of my favourite memories with Gameboy growing up was constantly swapping out all the batteries from devices around the house to power my little handheld obsession. Pretty sure my parents hated the gameboy for it's ever lasting hunger for batteries but they never took it away from me so that was a win.
Also my dude, when is the patreon coming? I keep chucking money at my screen but it aint making that pitstop!
Great memories man and I’m working on it rn actually since we hit over 10k!
I killed my first handheld(the original GBA) one summer with battery acid from my horde of batteries I held in a bag when I was ten. Young me was stupid. I still have the console but I definitely replaced it with an sp on my twelfth birthday.(and a copy of pokemon mystery dungeon red rescue team.)
Felt so bad for my parents they had 4 kids, each with our own Gameboy (original). Painful amount of batteries! The long car ride thing would be fine until it got dark and you couldn't see the screen because no back lighting 🤣😂
Man you’re just one of these channels with a type of content that is destined for greatness. I have a feeling that this channel will blow up in no time.
i grew up on handhelds. they were my world, my escape. i remember hiding away on my birthday one year to play rhythm heaven, and i just wanted a nice quiet space to play this game that used the console in such a unique way, that i hadn't seen before then. i remember blasting thru a link between worlds after christmas, and pulling an all nighter at my sister's house because i liked the game so much and I didnt want to put it down.
Great video! With so many youtubers making part of their schtick "not a jrpg guy" it would be awesome to see you talk more about some of your favorites in the genre
Glad to see you mentioned The World Ends With You! It’s one of the best games on the DS and is one of my all time favorites. Seriously, anybody who hasn’t played it needs to! It’s such an awesome experience, the character design, the ost, the gameplay, all incredible. Solid 10/10 for me
This channel is a vibe and I don't understand how you don't have more subs. Props for being original in a saturated platform.
thank u for keeping this style of video format alive fr
As someone who owned both a DS and a PSP in my youth I always preferred my Nintendo DS. Any game I'd play on the PSP I'd rather play on the PS3 because a lot of PSP games had short storys and the gameplay was lesser than on PS3 overall. The Nintendo DS games I played took advantage of dual screens and were genuinely fun when you wanted to play something on the go or while you're watching tv. I made the mistake of selling my Nintendo DS back in the day but I now own a new Nintendo 3DS XL along with all the older games I had back in the day for the DS since the 3DS also plays DS games. The DS/3DS library is massive as a whole and you had a lot more options to choose from than the PSP or the Vita which is one of the reasons it was more popular. Nintendo fully supported their DS lineup whereas Sony kind of half supported their PSP lineup before killing it off.
I own a Nintendo Switch and a 3DS and while I do love the Switch, I love my 3DS just a bit more because it's truly a handheld gaming device that's still very fun to this day.
The first time I played Legacy of Goku I gave up after a few hours.. I came back to it randomly after 3 years of aging and my god was it hard but it was honestly so underrated.
This makes me want to pull out the 3ds and get into some pokemon heartgold and ace attorney.
A great story about handheld gaming that I have is when I spoke to my childhood best friend for the first time since 2014. When I got the ds lite with pokemon Dimond I played the fuck out of that game with my best friend, we started the games together and raced to the end- and when we finished we battled eachother to see who was the true champion. We felt like we were rivials in the anime or some shit. We of course played many games on the ds, but that first game I ever got that was mine alone (I had a twin brother) will live on as one of my favorites because of my friend.
Me and him parted ways when I moved to another state in 2012 and we fell out of touch when we both started highschool- and communication got even more limited when he joined the Navy out of highschool. When I did get the chance to call him it was like a day hadn't passed, after catching up we talked about video games like we were 10 again- and then it happened.
Dude told me that when he goes on deployment he brings his original ds lite and his copy of pearl and always names his rival after me every time, even after all these years. I started crying man, every pokemon game I've played I've named my rival after him too- as he'd always be the one I'd strive to beat.
The ds lite and it's catologe will always be a core memory for me.
Great video as always man, keep up the great work!

Such a beautiful thing that you've found in each other. I'm glad I stumbled upon this comment.
@@ammygamer Thank you for the response, I'm glad that this lightened your day!
In life I've been blessed with good friends, family, and friends that have become family- but the things that make life worth living for me are insights and relationships that develop like this. Eternal love and friendships, strangers that have impacted my life and there's for the better, and things that ultimately make me cry for any reason bring a lot of meaning to this existence (regardless of how painful and confusing it can be at times).
It's wild how such a small thing like naming an NPC after a true friend can mean so much, but life is interesting like that.
@@carlstewart7844 That's straight up PRECIOUS :')
Shoutout Chris. Also this channel is amazing and I, too, grew up a handheld kid with GBA Advance, SP, PSP, DS, 3DS etc etc which deadass formed so much of my current 28 year old personality
Dude... that was beautiful. I don't think anyone could have summed up gaming on the go more perfectly than you did. I'm going to go bust out my GameBoy Advance now and do another playthrough of Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga thanks to you
Handhelds were also my bread and butter to my childhood. I was never allowed to own a console until I was in ......something like 7th or 8th grade. But, regardless of owning a dedicated console I always stayed with my GBA SP, and later 3DS Lite. Like you I would sit all cozy in my bed hiding the glow from my dad while killing it in Legacy of Goku II. I think I completed that game 100% while on a car ride to Myrtle Beach SC. Another great title that the GBA had was Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride. Holy crap that was such a great freaking game.
But, damn, another banger of a video man. I always get super nostalgic hearing the tracks you play in the background while talking about that sweet mid to late 90s - 2000s goodness. Can't wait for the next one mate!
This channel will have 100k subs by the end of the year. You’re killing it dude
Underrated CZcamsr, i found this gem a few days ago and i have watched a lot of them already.
These videos are pretty good, best stuff I’ve seen on CZcams recently
I just found your channel some days ago, and man... your content its great!
Oh god... the GBA has a big place in my heart... the sad part is that i couldnt had a GBA at the time, so i played most of its games in emulator. But still, the GBA catalog is so beautiful... The moment that i discovered Golden Sun, that moment was DAMN! One of the best games ever. Also, i really enjoyed Pokemon Emerald and Mystery Dungeon :'D
Omg, the nostalgia :'D
Good content my friend!
Just stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago, and man your videos are amazing!! Already binged like half of them, my dude. Great style, beautiful story telling, and awesome content. Just a straight vibe!
The world ends with you was the best surprise game I ever got, love your channel man
I still remember getting the DS Lite for Christmas, wasn't til years later where I experienced the beauty of the legacy of goku games. Great video! Love the editing, and all of the video's content. A 2000's kid's Dream!
I dont think I've seen any other videos on this site that manage to hit my specific nostalgia memories the same way yours do
Ngl have straight up cried while watching a few of your vids
Keep up the good work homie
Thx man that’s awesome cause I’m really just discussing my memories so that’s great to hear and dude some of my favorite creators also put me in tears with some vids so that’s really awesome to hear I work hard on these vids so it feels like it was worth it when there’s love for them like this thank you man
I am a Game Boy Color era kid who had each subsequent system over the years, and I will absolutely stan the 3DS. It was around for like, 10 years, and really got a ton of great games. It was an absolute sleeper hit; no one really cared when it came out but over the years its catalogue blew UP. And on top of that it could play DS games.
You got a dope little channel, brethren. Props. Your opinions jive with mine in a big way.
Keep pushing.
gba and ds were like packs of gum in my house growing up. if you opened a drawer you’d probably find one. oldest sister had a gameboy, second oldest had a gba, me and my brother both got gbasps, and eventually me, my brother, and my younger sister got ds’s. so many good memories with what are still some of, in my opinion, the best games ever made
The GBA was literally a SNES on the go and that’s why I love it, my favorite cartridge system. I wish the DS and 3DS treated itself more like N64 and GameCube cause they really were but they always held back. You know damn well Wind Waker could’ve been on 3DS…
I remember when the PSP came out; man, the DS dominated it. Most people I know didn't play PSP games, they used it as am emulation machine. If you wanted to play games you played the DS. lol That said, I've played the TWEWY on the DS and fell in love. It's so unique and so creative that I honestly don't think it works outside it. I could go on, but I'll refrain.
The phat DS, DS Lite, SP... I had the Color for Pokemon, 3DS for Ace Attorney, but the DS & SP were the love of my life. I still have mine and I'll never give them up.
The psp did have great games tho
I been using emulators and playing all sorts of old games
Psp, ds, gba, ps1, PS2
They are all great
Found U by total accident on polish YT and I am amazed by your storytelling and montage thx for making my day better, dzięki wielkie. And as for my experience I always wanted to play GameBoy or Wii but unfortunatelly they were not so popular here and I did not have money back then, later I bought myself a 3DS and sink in the Link between worlds and finally my beloved Pokemons, now I am a switch player and I am glad about it. Keep up the good work!
A breath of fire shout out!!!! Fkn A. I love that series and never see it talked about. Good man
Just found this channel and this is such a great video! I always ended up with handheld consoles bc my family couldn't afford a console and this video brought me back to the days with my ds and me and my friends using pictochat or playing Mario kart on the bus. I even bought a 3ds this year bc handheld games to me are really fun and underrated. Really glad you also mentioned minish cap bc that's my favorite 2d zelda alongside a link between worlds. All the Nintendo handhelds have some of the best memories as a kid.
Something thats only happened once in my life happened on the gba. While playing a star wars episode 2 game i entered a cheat code at random and it actually worked and sent me to a stage way ahead of where I was. I’ll never forget that moment.
Man i gotta say, you really encapsulated my feelings and nostalgia for handhelds. I always have and probably always will love handheld gaming. Now whenever someone ask me why, I can show them this video!
I just found you yesterday, and lets just say you've got yourself a new subscriber. I love your video format, it meets the expectations you get from reading your channel's name. Keep it up
It always feels so good to see Mystery Dungeon get a nod, love the format of your video by the way.
YOO A NEW VIDEO ALREADY?! Your channel really covers the exact niche of topics I love, anime, fashion, linkin park(!), video games -- I fucking love this
freakin loved this vid for many reasons but here’s the top 2
1: the subject bc loved my ds as a kid and still collect Pokémon games
2: the editing and the way u made this. Kept me engaged
Just another banger man. The vibes and points are identical to things ive thought or felt, just mostly kept to myself. Producing a video like this to relate to is a straight 9 club banger.
Shoutout to Chris
The Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury are pure childhood nostalgia. Absolute classics that I'm happy to see mentioned. Spending too much time in them just fully levelling characters, exploring and fully completing side content like golden capsules in LoG2 and the exhibits in Buu's Fury. The music is also easily one of my favorite sets of GBA OST's and constantly pop back into my head. Still my favorite DBZ games hands down. Think I may give them another play now
Spot on about that horrible dino egg mission though, that thing still haunts my nightmares lmao
Awesome job using LOG2 and BF soundtracks as background music to your video. Pure nostalgia overload.
This is only the second video of you I watched but you have a great vibe. You give off those kind of nerdy,cool, 2000’s older brother vibes that I always wanted to have even as early twenties woman. 💁🏾♀️☺️
You perfectly encapsulated why handhelds are such a great experience and how I’ve felt about them since my two earliest handhelds, the DS and PSP. The 3DS was good but I was in my teen era and gave it away to my younger cousin. While I do love the switch I have a really nostalgic feel for the small screened handhelds that could fit in your hand. Even still the switch is so great. Really great to have an all in one console.
Dude a similar thing happened to me as a kid trying to solve that phantom hourglass map puzzle. I remember being super stumped one morning after literally trying everything to solve the puzzle. My family decides to stop at a McDonald’s for breakfast so I close my ds while I eat my food. To my surprise when I opened the game back up the puzzle had been solved! I couldn’t believe how simple yet creative the solution ended up being. I always think back to that moment and the final boss fight in earthbound when I think about unique/special moments in video games.
Also thanks for making these types of videos, found your channel a couple days ago and I’m really digging what I’ve seen so far
The GBA is still one of my favourite consoles of all time and I've played them all, so I always love whenever someone does a retrospective on it because it's kind of like a reminder to everyone in this busy world we live in that it still exists and should be played.
Yo just binged a lot of your videos and had to drop a comment to say this content is peak and W takes for the most part. Love how you dedicated a whole portion of this vid to gushing about TWEWY, truly the game of all time, earned my sub.
One of my bro's shared this video with me since we were talking about gaming before The Calamity (Buy Now, Fix Later) and I gotta say, you're a pretty cool dude.
Much love, and I appreciate the good content!
I never smile much for uploads. Your channel is the first that makes me smile on uploads.
aw man glad I could provide that for ya means a lot!
I clicked on this video just to chill out, and then hearing the classic Game Boy sound flooded me with so much nostalgia I almost cried.
45k! Bro I remember when you were around 700 and was thinking of how underrated you were. I’m so glad that you are blowing up. Keep up the amazing work man!
Love this channel! Your content really speaks to me ❤
