I remember that birthday trick. I had just got my pre-order of Castlevania Portrait of ruin, and I played it for quite a while. I got home from work one night and started to play it, and I got a birthday cake that fully restored my HP.
It blew my mind that a video game had remembered my birthday and I didn't.

I can hear Mario bye bye after 10 years

After hearing Drew saying the DS was his very first game system made me realize that he is much younger than I thought.

The DS Lite was my first system too. I have a lot of nostalgia for it. This video was epic

With Typing Adventure having Bluetooth in the cartridge itself instead of a slot 2 accessory, that game was released in 2011/2013. During Pokémon's 5th generation. The 3ds was already out, so I doubt many people were playing with a system that HAD a slot 2.

I miss the DS days. So many memories resurfaced after watching this video and this era was truly special to me

If you really want to get to that hidden WiFi one, you can make it much easier to hit if you recalibrate your touch screen and purposely misalign it, by tapping the bottom right of each target. This will technically bring the button's hitbox inward for easier tapping.

You'll obviously want to then fix your calibration later once the "novelty" wears off.

when I started my Nintendo DS lite on my birthday, I noticed that new startup sound but when I went into Pictochat, I started tearing up when my DS announced my birthday to everyone... It was just so incredibly cute and heartwarming... I wish Nintendo would still do this today...

*Even funnier fact:*

The magnet in in all DS/3DS systems is actually the speaker magnet and not a dedicated part, except for the "new" 2DS xl, which needed one cause the speakers are on the bottom.

Even Nintendo had some fun with that name years later on Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, calling it the Dual Scream (or even Dispositivo de Sustos in the Spanish translation)

Nintendo made a TV out version of the DS for media/promotional use, Nintendo Europe lent me theirs years ago when they wanted me to do a promotional YouTube video about Monster Hunter, normal DS, but attached to a huge blue box with twin TV outs for each screen.

Could the TV-Out board be originally intended for that. Save money creating another motherboard?

the magnet trick is common. most laptops have this same sleep mechinism implemented. older laptops used a button hidden under the hinge but if you look for it you can find it

[FloeHetling]

fun fact. My friend discovered the magnet thing in such a funny way: he likes to vape when he plays DS and his vapemod has neodymium magnets to hold its battery cover in place. So one day he was holding a vapemod in his right hand while in some cutscene and he was up to skip a dialog so he moved his hand close enough to activate the sleep mode.
Side note here, he is handyguy who basically refurbished old 3DS on his own and the fact screen goes off and on randomly made him panic so much he was nearly up to open the console and re-solder screen connection once more. Luckily, he soon realised that his vapemod was the culprit!

The DS Lite was my first system! I used to play on my sisters’ GBA SP’s and DSi’s, but this was the first thing to call my own. Awesome video, Drew!

My first console was a Polar White DS Lite, still remember being terrified when my mom came in incase I accidentally hit the volume slider when I was playing mariokart at midnight. Good times.

[mysticaxolotl]

The "magnet" in every DS version except for the New 2DS XL is actually the speakers! The reason the N2DSXL doesn't work this way is because the speakers were moved to the bottom.

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass requires you to close the system to solve a puzzle. The Nintendo Wii also offered a download station, so you could download demos at home. I tried the game Avalon Code that way.

I like this sponsor.
It’s not a bs course or app that anyone can teach on with no certification or anything.
It’s a university, it’s a reputable institution and I would feel more comfortable learning from them than some rando on Skillshare

[ryuudrako]

I remember that download play function. I got a custom robo demo as a kid while my mother worked in a mall... And i loved the game so much, that I kept it in sleep mode to keep playing the demo for almost 2 weeks or so.

What a cool time

[slushier.]

The DSi was my first, but recently I got my hands on a DS Lite and it's so cool to get to play gameboy advance games on it!
