Thanks for watching!

"Why is a retro games channel talking about the DS?" I asked, physically feeling how old I have become...

[imcomid]

Honestly, I've just discovered your channel but I love the way you make your videos. It's insane you have been making video's since the beginning of youtube.

[cestusfr]

The one NDS hidden gem that blew my mind this year was "Monster Tale". AMAZING GAME ! ! !

[gabocarina]

The timing of this video couldn't be better! I've been getting back into playing the DS myself, bought a copy of Dawn of Sorrow to discover the game for the first time ever. Seeing it on your list just makes look forward to getting it even more! Great video as always Nick! :D

[donapachemagnanakawngbeat]

I just really hate it when quality YouTube creators are overlooked. You, sir, deserve more viewers and subscribers. Thanks for this.

[MoviesNGamesuk]

Hotel Dusk and it's sequel are unique and the art style is amazing.
I also really like the Ace Attorney games.

[ApplesauceNinja]

The fact that I watched this video all the way through despite not having interest in most of the titles shown is a testament to the quality of your presentation. I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm! Your taste in games seems to be more broad than mine. 😀

[TheChocolatBlanc]

Dude, you need to make another video, I’ll take your top 30 - 15.
You make us discover so many gems !

[mitonamikawa]

currently binge watching all of your DS games videos. Good stuff my dude!

[Jellybeanz]

Really interesting list! Never seen one like it. Love the DS, I was pretty vanilla with my choices, Mariokart DS, NSMB DS etc. Advance wars dual strike was my favourite game for a long time!

[Danbu]

That's a very nice list with a lot of not too obvious choices. I feel like you totally deserve more views. Your videos are produced with care, you are charismatic guy and I've never seen any channel before who even adds descriptions on the time bar. Actually I didn't know that is a thing befire seeing it on your videos. Keep up the good work. =)

[dibbsgaming]

Great video dude, nice to see some good recommendations here! The DS saw me through many a dark time and I have great memories escaping into stuff like Hotel Dusk, Advance Wars, the Castlevania games and The World Ends With You. I’m definitely gonna have to check out some of the games you’ve shown, you’ve got good taste, all the games look great!
Awesome video mate, I enjoyed it!

[davidfernandez]

I discovered this channel yesterday, and it has been a pleasant surprise. Not only for the unexpected and great choice of content, but for the uncommon and great vibes he projects. Keep up the good work! 💪💪

[thefile]

I’m impressed you’re capturing from the handheld rather than using emulator footage like every other YouTuber in the world.

[ketchupguns]

Wow....Thanks for making this....usually these types of lists, at this point in time, are all quite similar...but I can't believe I learned about 2-3 new games I never heard about.

[reagandow]

I love the ds/3ds and still collect for both systems today. Great video and thanks for sharing your games with us.

[grenademan]

[RetroMoments]

Woah, some great suggestions here! Haven't played the DS for a long time.
And can't believe I missed Sonic & Kirby. Solatorobo looks really interesting too.

[Frank_]

Time Hollow actually blew me away. It had lots of content and the time travel element was brilliant. Another Code was very unusual, and loved it. I did play Again which took some getting used to, but very unusual and grew on me. Surprised Hotel Dusk and it's Sequel aren't mentioned...those are usually top mentions. CING was the best DS game company.

[yakumorisuke]

Thank you so much for this! I had a DS as a kid, but being a broke school child I basically only had nintendogs and pokemon. I loved DQ11 on the Switch, and someone pointed out that there were other DQ games on the DS. This, of course, returned me to the system again, and I honestly had never realised just how versatile and wide ranging the DS was in terms of games on it! I am really enjoying discovering all of these amazing experiences that I missed out on, and am so excited about playing some of these!!
