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

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😂

12:24 that ds noise… I don’t know how to explain it, it’s so nostalgic and making me Fr have a existential crisis

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

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.

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.

Hands down, I had no idea that this guy played so many Zelda games. I thought I was going to be all Mario games in this video. 😂

The way he can just make 40 year old technology sound new is just incredible!

[xyan]

That calculator at 1:19 is one if the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen on this channel 🥹

[KEE_Wii]

The nostalgia on these videos is absolutely OFF THE CHARTS! Incredibly fun to take a dive back considering handheld gaming was the beginning for many gamers. Please keep videos like this coming!

[ak-vuuv]

you're missing the Gameboy light, Gameboy micro, Gameboy pocket, Pokémon Mini, new 3ds xl and new 2ds xl so technically you didn't buy all of the Nintendo handhelds (pls see this comment and add them in)

[thejsteam]

RIP gameboy pocket, gameboy light, 3ds xl, and new 3ds xl

I really don’t understand how he uploads so frequently and the quality is still WAY better than any other channel I watch. It’s very impressive, and with the amount of time (and money) you put into your videos, you deserve to get to 20 million subs!

This video captured this feeling of the progression from one console to the next so well. I found myself being impressed by 20 year old tech.

[JoshuasMystery]

1:19 Ahh of course the 5318008 trick on the calculator :)

[itsy]

I remember buying Nintendo Switch for the first time, I was blown away by the fact that I could play a AAA game on the go.

It’s interesting how Arun has managed to bring that highly excited, fast paced style that so often gets associated with YouTubers 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
