you missed something very important about why Nintendo DS and DSi were such a success. In poor countries or countries where we couldn't buy or afford buying game cartridges, sellers were offering homebrew cartridges with SD cards where you can download and play roms. this made the sales explode in countries where nintendo traditionally has no presence
Fun fact: the Nintendo ds is region free so you can play the import games
No that's not correct. I work for Nintendo
and what's correct then @@waffle825 ? i'm talking about countries where nintendo never sold products, like in africa. even if you want to buy games legally there was no way. unless someone brings them from abroad. so having the homebrew cartridge made the console very popular.
@@waffle825 This guy is my grandad, I can confirm he does work for Nintendo as a janitor. He knows his stuff!

I bought a DS for my dad for his birthday, my mom said she wanted one for Christmas the same year. They were smokers at the time and you could always find them sitting on their porch each playing their DS. They were both in their late fifties. They started with rain teasers and bundle games with sudoku and puzzles and moved on to Mario Kart and Zelda. My mom has replayed Ocarina of Time several times😂
What's incredible to me is how I often would end up getting a new handheld system roughly every time I got a new Pokemon game.
First the Gameboy with Pokemon Red, then the Gameboy Color with Pokemon Silver. My cousins got the GBA and then a year later got the SP so I got their old GBA and grabbed Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Firered. Then I got my DS Lite and with that came Pokemon Pearl, Pokemon SoulSilver and Pokemon White. My DS Lite was my go to for years and only briefly did I get a New 3DS XL (for Pokemon X of course) before finally getting the Switch for Sword and Shield, Scarlet and Violet and Arceus.
The evolution of Nintendo handhelds was in many ways assisted by the Pokemon franchise.

@@KDFRbruh no

@@joshopraymarket That is in every way correct!
@@MrwhosethebossI can tell by this banger vid
This is a really good collection, but before the Game Boy Color there was also the Game Boy Pocket. This was a slimmed down version of the first Game Boy that required fewer batteries. There was also the Game Boy Light, which is essentially the Game Boy Pocket that had a backlit display and only released in Japan. Game Boy Micro was an interesting release and you can consider it the Game Boy Advance slim.
Also the whole exchangeable games for one console stuff was already desinged by Milton Bradleys Microvision in 1980 or so. I really missed the Game Boy light in this development since having a lit up screen is now such a common thing.
I was gonna comment this! I had a GameBoy Pocket as a kid and spent hours playing Link's Awakening on it!
He also missed gameboy micro lol
Also there are two GBA sp's. The first version, the ags 001, had a frontlit screen while the revision, the 101, had a proper backlit screen. In the video, he said that the sp was now backlit but showed the 001, which has washed out colors due to the frontlight. Would have been nice to show how beautiful the 101 screen is :))
@@Sarif98 That was an incredible game! Lots of good memories there and makes me want to give it another playthrough.

Wow, those words hurt, because the 2ds was my first Nintendo handheld and I absolutely love it.

19:19 i got my hands on New3DS XL for the first time i think back in 2021, and i fell in love with it 😂 feels so modern and also bigger than the DSi. I’m so amazed on first boot because icons and text literally floating at the screen like How is this possible!? 🤣
I played my 3DS to death when it came out. And I absolutely loved those 'gimmicks' (face raiders, AR cards, etc.) God knows how many hours I spent on those alone.
Not to mention Streetpass / Spotpass. I was obsessed lol.
Me too! Out of all my friends I was the only one who actually used and loved the 3D effect. Still one of my favourite aspects of the system when I go back to it.
Same. StreetPass/Spotpass and Hatena were amazing. When in Japan, everyone and their grandmother had a 3DS. When in Texas, finding characters to help beat the adventure games was especially difficult when you have to bump into players. If you were in Tokyo between 2010-2015, you could get tons of StreetPass characters in less than 5 minutes being on the train. I had to take a charger with me.
Did the same with the DSI. The battery almost blew up
same, especially face raiders for me. I remember the last boss used to continue fighting after getting 'afro-ed' and used to trigger me so much

I never used any of those consoles, so I don't have any nostalgia. All I can say is, most of them are garbage.
The DS, and specifically the DS Lite and DSi, was basically my whole childhood as a kid born in 2003. I have so many memories of a thing called Summer School that my local nursery did where kids up to the age of 9 could go there during the day in summer and basically do nothing. There was like me and 2 or 3 other people who consistently brought our DSs and played Mario Kart against each other for hours. I even still sometimes play my DSi XL which was the last DS console I owned just because I love the nostalgia of playing the same games I spent so much of my childhood playing. It's kind of a shame current kids and the next gen of kids aren't gonna have an experience like that. Thanks for the throwback mate!
well the gameboy color was my second nintendo handheld device of my childhood so i had a clear clamshell that somehow isnt yellow stained so well done arun. thanks for bringing me nostalgia, japanese exclusive pokemon yellow and tetris was my favourite game.
That calculator at 1:19 is one if the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen on this channel 🥹
Jejejaw
Not
Just as an aside, the GBA SP had two different models.
The AGS-001, which had a front-lit display, and the AGS-101, with a backlit one. Most people remember the latter, but I have the former. If you pressed the button with the sun on it, it essentially turned the screen into the original GBA’s. 🙂
+ the colors really pops in the sun in comparison!! I wish portable game consoles were still made as an option to have transflective screens.
I think i also have that model, it has the sun button and transforms the screen in the gba one
He also missed out the Gameboy Light. Although Japan only it should be listed in this lineup. Oh and the 2DS and 2DS XL, although the XL is similar to the 3DS XL, the smaller 2DS is a very different console.
Oh and the pocket, how could I forget that.
Not entirely true: the most common and most sold one is the 001, with a front-lit screen. The AGS-101 (backlit, much nicer screen) sold in smaller numbers and went on sale when the DS was already on the market. AGS-101's are much more expensive on the second hand market, because they are much harder to find. The difference is HUGE though and I think it's worth it. The SP in this video is a front-lit AGS-001, so small 'mistake' there. :)
I noticed you left out a few revisions of the Gameboy, like the Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Light and the Gameboy Micro. And you also didn't talk about the Pokemon Mini devices, either. And even though I personally don't count it as such, technically the Virtual Boy is technically considered a handheld device by Nintendo. Definitely should do a third video on the obscure Nintendo devices.
He didn't include the Virtual Boy in the consoles video either. It's kinda like a hybrid like the switch. Was hoping for it in this one, but nah.
@@xtlm finding an unboxed virtual boy will be extremely hard since it barely sold 800k units
@@rubiixen I see one on ebay right now for 1k! Feel like it's an oversight unless he is going to do another video eventually of other stuff.

He also forgot about the 2ds xl which is the best console in the 3ds family in my opinion
From my first console to my most recent I have to give it credit to the *NEW* 3DS XL that made me love games so much. So glad it was my first console.
A memory that really sticks with me is when we did dance competitions when I was about 12/13 and so many people had a Nintendo DS, and we would Pictochat with a whole bunch of strangers across this huge hall. We had so much fun chatting and being silly.
So many good memories with the 3DS… whether it be playing Pokémon with my friends, or playing Mario Kart at 10PM and hiding it under my pillow when my parents came in… That handheld brought me so much joy
best console of all time for me
Same here I loved it
That reminds me of when I would try to sneakily play Super Mario 64 DS late at night as a kid. It didn't last long since I got caught the first time I did it.

I remember that on the 22nd of December, 2017, I had finally, after 12 years, worn out my DS. I was playing Mario Bros at 12:30 a.m., and the button to turn it off wouldn't go down, so that's when I realized I had finally worn it out and then got a 2DS a month after it was thrown out

@@mastermjn I’m very fortunate to be very random to you guys.
I still remember buying the Oled Switch last year, booting it up and seeing how crisp the quality it is. I'd owned a GBSP and a DS when I'm still a kid, and then only owned smartphones as a handheld device, so the Switch truly amazed me. Even till this day everytime I boot it up once a while it still surprised me and some part in me will just quietly screams "Good god this looks amazing"
I had the same thing going from the 3ds to the wii U
What makes the switch so special for u its not the newest hardware or high grapics ??
@@mrblack576 first of, nostalgia, second of, the nintendo switch has a lot of exclusive games that are only on it like the legend of zelda breath of the wild, super mario odyssey,animal crossing, the pokemon games and a lot more than that, third of, its portable which is a very big selling point because you can play your favourite games on the go, and there are a lot of other reasons as to why someone would buy a switch.
I use it almost every day. The quality of the screen is just immaculate. I have a Steam Deck as well, and I absolutely love it, but the difference in the screen is night and day.
Hey Arun, i noticed you didn't cover the Gameboy Micro during the transition from the Gameboy SP to the DS. I remember when i was in Junior High i had the sp growing up along with a few friends in band class and other classes, that i eventually got the Micro and it was a gamechanger from how small it was to put in my pocket with it's microfiber case and wasn't a bulge in my pocket or digging into my thigh. The screen was also a lot brighter and felt a lot crisper. That and i think it had a longer play time. I reviewed specs and it says it was worse than the SP but i couldnt see much of a difference. Would be a cool idea if you did a review on it lol. But this and the Sony Handheld videos were great and love the quality of the vids, that i started a rabbit hole into your channel, as I'm also a big game/console collector as well.
It’s interesting how Arun has managed to bring that highly excited, fast paced style that so often gets associated with CZcamsrs with younger audiences but maintains not only a maturity but a distinct kind of calm that seems to keep his videos from being overwhelming despite all the graphics and movement in the edit. I really don’t understand how it works but I know it’s the reason this is the only tech channel I really seek out or rewatch videos from. Like, it doesn’t get boring or out of my scope despite me being largely uninitiated but it also doesn’t make me feel like I’m being talked down to or like I’m interacted with like a child
This series is so interesting, there’s so many more consoles to talk about like PSP, Xbox, Sega and so much more. You should definitely do more in the future!
That's why I am waiting for Sega consoles....
Im feeling so Nostalgic...the Gameboy Advance was my First Every Mobile Gaming Console, and that little device has survived over 20+ years of wear and tear and still works and plays Super Mario like a Champ! I vaguely still remember when i was shopping with my parents when they bought it for me. Ah Good Memories...
I have a Switch Lite Game Cube color dark blue I love it I clean it off to prevent dust from getting into the buttons Nintendo came a long way
The new 3ds with the changeable faceplates is my favourite console. The form factor, the feel of the hardware and the games library are unmatched
The way that Arun looked like it's his first time seeing the handheld devices, his genuine amazement added more in this video. Nintendo was such a big part of my childhood and seeing all of these, just takes me back.
Thank you for this 😊
The 3D effect on the N3DS was amaazing! by the way you forgot about the Gameboy Micro
So glad someone commented on this! I had this growing up, and in every video I watch on this topic, the Micro is forgotten about!!!
I love that Nintendo isnt afraid of trying new things even when they arent so good👍
i agree, they alway dare to try new techonology everytime. VR, 3D, double screen with touch screen, motion controls,... all of them was very new when it came out, their hardware was not always the strongest, but i really enjoy the fun of their consoles.
dam this gives me nostalgia because as my childhood i growed up with the DS 1 and later by my uncle i think got introduced to the game boy.
There was actually one handheld you missed, the Gameboy Micro, not many people knew about it cause it didn't sell well, but it was basically a tiny version of the Gameboy Advance without the backwards compatibility
& the New 2DS XL
anddddd the gameboy pocket, which released between the 1989 and the colour.
I had one really liked it. Missing a small but good gaming console in nintendos daily range, wish for a tiny switch version ....
He also forgot the gameboy light!
@Monzell Well, to be fair, calling the virtual boy a hand held would be like calling a coach a chair with wheels. They're both portable, but one is definitely not as portable as the other.
Great video as always. I definitely enjoyed the stroll down memory lane. One console that was notably absent was the 2DSXL which was (as far as I recall) released after the 3DS and was approximately the same hardware but without the 3-D effect on the upper screen.
he also missed the gameboy micro
And the gameboy pocket
Agreed, it was a seriously premium feeling finale to the 3ds line
And the gameboy light
And the new 3ds xl
I love watching your videos they’re the best
I’ve watched a lot of your videos, and while I’m not into Pokémon, I absolutely LOVE the Zelda franchise! I think that many other viewers would agree with me in saying that to include more Zelda content or references in your future videos would be quite…intriguing. (To phrase it how you do.😉)
I actually loved the Nintendo 2DS. I bought it during my apprenticeship when I didn't had the budget for a 3DS. I could play all of my old DS games but also enjoy newer games. I had around 2.5 hours daily commute and it made many long train rides enjoyable.
he didn't even mention how comfortable the 2ds is compared to the new 3ds xl, I always wanted a 2ds just because it feels so much better in my hands
I also have a 2DS (Pokemon Sapphire edition) and I love it. So comfortable to hold along with the stylus. Haven't experienced holding any 3DS model but I did get to experience playing with my neighbor's 2DSXL. The design was nice but it felt flimsy and the stylus was too short for my liking.
@@jackbro655 bruh all he said for the 2ds was that it was ugly 😭
17:13 “Omg, i forgot there was a joystick”
-Arun, 2023

I loved playing on my 3ds xl!
I remember these nights where i build myself a castle with pillows and then play with my 3ds the next mission in Luigis mansion dark moon.
Aww man the good old times i will miss them 🥲
He's been skipping over some of the systems like the Game boy pocket and Game boy light and the Game boy advance sp with the updated screen. There's even the GBA eye strain Edition that was super tiny.
Also I'm very confused why the pokémon mini exists.
don’t forget virtual boy

@10:00 you forget to mention the major element that led to DS being touch.. they were competing with the PALM pilot,
and with the blackberry cellphones... iphones were the genereation AFTER that, way later. Like 7 years later.
Seeing how far games have come really crazy, coming from just a small time passer, to a device u can sit down and play with the family is amazing, I love these videos
The fact that Nintendo put Xenoblade on the new 3ds is still mind-blowing.
Nintendo is iconic and gave joy and laughter to many generation of kids, im so gratefull for that
I am a child of the very early 80s, and that original gameboy was my first handheld device. This video brought back so many memories as I haven't seen that thing in decades. Arun, my brothers and I were big into gaming, and there were some high end, expensive systems that were released in Japan around the same time that were significantly better than what we had in the U.S. My family bought them at a specialty gaming store in the late 80s or early 90s. One was Turbo Graphics 16 (or something like that). It had these really small cards that acted as the games, and this was when we had those large Nintendo and Sega Genesis cartridges (though the Sega's were a bit smaller as far as I remember. The graphics on that Turbo Graphics 16 was revolutionary. Also, the best handheld of all time was released around the same time, the Turbo Express, which was about the size of a gameboy but played the full fat turbo graphics 16 games. And it was color! It was amazing. Lastly, and the best system IMO ever released for its era, was the Neo Geo. It had these massive cartridges, but the graphics were like nothing that would be seen for years after. It felt like you were playing arcade games in your home, which was amazing at the time. Not sure if these things will ever make their way into a video, but trust me as someone who grew up at that time, they really changed the entire landscape of home gaming.

When 3DS launched, it also was the peak of 3D smartphones and TVs, I remember my friends having a Motorola or Samsung with the 3D camera as well.
I’ll never forget the day I got my transparent purple game boy color… it was life changing. I just bought my daughter the oled switch and she couldn’t care any less lol
It's crazy how fast tech evolved back in the day. The Switch has lasted longer than the amount of time between the GBC and DS
Amazing video as always but I'm afraid you forgot or didn't mention the "New 2DS XL". The last 3DS revision that Nintendo released, which is exactly what the name implies. The (slightly) improved hardware of the New 3DS, a bigger form factor and an all around really slick design, just without 3D.
Or the Gameboy micro and Gameboy pocket
Yess that is what I said, too 😅
I hated the New 2DS XL. Worst screens since they lacked contrast, worst speaker placement, worst design, least ergonomic, and worst battery life, since it had the specs of the New 3DS, but the battery of the original 3DS. No that is not figurative, that is literal. The original 3DS, and both 2DS models used the CTR-003 battery.

I'm sure someone has already said it said it, but the brightness is not just low, it actually has no back light, just contrast (making blacks blacker and white whiter)
Nintendo will always be the handheld GOAT. It's so cool to see the entire history of the hardware laid out like this, massive nostalgia hit.

Hey Arun, I'm here to correct you a little:
The GBA SP had two versions. The one you showed is actually the frontlit AGS-001 model.
Big N released a little later the AGS-101 model which was actually Backlit and was brighter than the model before (and I think it had a better speaker and more battery time but I'm not sure rn)
Dont forget the gameboy light and officialy the virtual boy because it is officially related to the gameboy

i had a mario kart 7 edition 3ds on my birthday a few years ago. The switch didnt exist so i was really excited. Even tho i have a Xbox series x now, its still really good when im going somewhere.
The Nintendo New 3DS was the very first Nintendo console I had, and all the games and features it had were just so nostalgic
This video is utter brilliance. The content, production value, presentation, pacing and passion are all of the very highest level. Pure quality.
6:00 Sega Game Gear had color, backlit LCD display, stereo sound and Sonic, back in 1990. Sega was always underappreciated.
I wish Sega didn’t give up after the Dreamcast
Also, I agree, Sega was always under appreciated
but it used 6 AA batteries for only 4 hours of playtime
I missed the NINTENDO MINI CLASSICS , that would have been the dot on the i. But overall a great video, thank you very much for this recap!
Just bought my kid the OLED switch yesterday and the screen is AMAZING. I’m kinda bummed though that the switch 2 is coming out in like 6 months…. Didn’t realize that until today lol
Amazing video. We all love Nintendo... Hehe.
Also, a great video! It's pretty entertaining to see the old stuff since I wasn't around when some of those were out 🤣 You boost the entertainment too because you explain it very good 👍😊 Good job Arun!
bro the video was released like 5 minutes ago how can you watch the whole thing even on 3x it would be impossible
2 errors he made : nintendo used the Palm Pilot stylus popularity for the DS, they didn't invent it.
And SEGA Game Gear was a tough competitor to the game boy, before the game boy color came and finally outclassed the Sega Game Gear... the omission of the game gear in this video is the biggest flaw honestly. Even though not mentionning Palm Pilot as who made the tactile stylus gigantic before nintendo scooped it up is also a major flaw. 8/10 overall video on first watch

I had heard of that 3D tech in modern laptops and stuff, but I didn't realize Nintendo had already done it.
Great video. I think you missed a couple. Like the Gameboy Pocket, the GBA Micro, and the New 2DS XL. They each had their own reasons for being notable but I can also understand why they might be easy to overlook. But beyond that it was a great video on the history and timeline of the big N's handhelds. Got my sub for it. Imma go watch your backlog as well. Keep it up.

@@iscreamcake I'm hoping he does a video for every Sega console ever. And I'd ask for one on every Sega handheld or playstation handheld but they only had like 2 a piece. Either way I like this guy's gaming content. Definitely made me wanna step up my handheld collection that's for sure.
And Game Boy Lite
This is incredible. It’s so awesome to see you go through all these handhelds. Plus, you now have thousands of new games to enjoy too!
The Nintendo Ds family, and switch are my favorites!
I doubt he gets time to play all this stuff
Awesome video :) Just as a side note, didn't the Sega Game Gear do all that Nintendo color did? But in 1991? It had full color, cartridges etc? I had the game gear back in the day, and loved playing sega classics in full color.
This video is soooo good I’ve watched it like1000 times!!
13:35 ds was a big part of my childhood but when I got the dsi it was great.
I spent who knows how many hours playing with the camera. Then one day my uncle gave me his sd card and we were able to put the pictures onto the Wii and it was great.
It was my first portable camera
Didn't know the original Game and Watch did so well. I used to read about it in the Nintendo Power magazines when I was a kid but didn't know much about it. The handheld market really held Nintendo down through the dark days of the 64 and gamecube and is propelling them forward with the Switch.
My first handheld gadget was the Game Boy Advanced in Pink with see through case. I was in Highschool. I was stupid that I sold it but I bought it back. Then my next Handheld was the Game Boy Micro.
0:29 damn that’s insane bro. 43 years old that thing is now? Making me feeling old as hell right now, I’m 37 right now, this thing making me feel like it’s my older brother right now 😂
I've been subbed for a really long time, and it's wonderful to see you and your team come so far! Keep it up, Arun :)
8:00
"Just within this one frame, there are like 45 shades of green" bro just counted all that lmao
Actually there can be about 16,000 different types of shade of colors
cool
This video makes me want to get every Nintendo console. There’s something about them that attracts me like no other
19:39 "This tiddly little stick was an absolute game changer"
Editor: "Thats what she said" 💀
8:46 It had a front lit display, not backlit. Only a some rare "brighter screen" models were back lit. Also known as the AGS101
Video idea: you should continue the series by testing every single windows OS with a computer from the time of it's launch. It would be pretty epic 😀
I would pay to see that
that would be really hard to do tho as it is really hard to get the oldest windows OS's
@@Flairisfair I dunno if he gets sponsored by surfshark it should be alright
I would too
@@Flairisfair my brother in christ
the N3DSXL is by far the best handheld console ever made, possibly even just console. Everything about it from the games it has to the way the console is, is just perfect. I love my switch and xbox but nothing will ever be as good as the N3DSXL
1:35 Oh boy I remember finding a Donkey Kong 'gameboy' like that on an airport somewhere in Spain back in the 90's when I was a small kid. I played the shit out of it during the flight and for some reason I believed that it was actually mine haha!
