Nintendo DS: Touched at First Sight - Scott The Woz

Feb 27, 2020
Hi everyone, Scott, and congratulations on not finally getting the job I just applied for because this time I'm actually going to get it. I put all the contact information on my resume, including one and where I am available. I'm Pictochat. that will set me apart from the Nintendo DS favorite little handheld, there is no conceivable way that a product that initially looked like this would do this, but Nintendo did the unthinkable and sold over 150 million of these things and upon closer examination, It's incredibly obvious why the game The Library is seemingly endless and started tons of concepts that are still used to this day and got all of our uncles playing video games.

I personally played a ton with this guy, a line of Nintendo DS consoles got me through so many car trips as a Child, I always kept my eyes on the screens the entire time during them and that's why I recently learned that toll booths exist. The DS was announced in late 2003 simply as a new system that would be released in 2004 and Nintendo also stated that they were planning to focus on developing games that anyone could support. A few months later, in early 2004, the name was unveiled in Nintendo DS key along with the fact that the system would feature two full screens.

More Interesting Facts About,

Nintendo used a soccer game as an example of a dual-screen game in its press. pitch that describes how one screen can show the main game while the other can show a specific player's tackle or goal. Have you ever just played a soccer game and think there aren't enough screens? The idea behind two screens was a little strange at

first

. Nintendo definitely needed to prove themselves and keep in mind at this point all we knew about the Nintendo DS was that it had two screens, everything else housed in the system would be officially revealed later at e3 2004, yes the Nintendo DS didn't was an attraction during its prototype phase, but at least Nintendo made up for it by showing a Metroid Prime game running on the system.

Yes, Nintendo's

first

3D first-person shooter could be played on a handheld, which was crazy, not only that, but they also showed a demo of Super. Mario 64 running on the device so much arrogance can't be healthy a Gameboy touchscreen microphone advanced support wireless multiplayer a terrifying design the entire DS feature set was unveiled at this point Metroid Prime Hunters Super Mario 64 times for WarioWare in the Pictochat app all playable at the show along with playable tech demos that would later become games like Yoshi touch and go and 3ds launch titles Steel Diver, plus Nintendo showed videos of upcoming games like Mario Kart des Crossing DS, New Super Mario Brothers and Nintendo's In Ten Dogs later. confirmed that Nintendo DS would be the final name of the product as well as showing the finalized design and that the handheld would be officially released on November 21, 2004 here in North America for $149 and 99 cents.

Now I don't know about anyone else, but at the height of the DS dynasty I barely saw the original model in the wild, it was a rarity to see everyone else playing with their DS and DSi lights and then there was that kid that no one trusted no previous version of the DEA. Even 2006 seems pretty horrendous to put it lightly. It looks like something you put in a case. It always seemed more like a piece of equipment than a fancy video game system. The bottom half has some meat on the bones and all the curves, ridges and indentations add up to a video game system with a question mark at the end is comfortable enough to play, all the buttons feel perfectly good and it conveniently uses the GBA SP charging cable however things really start to get better when you turn on the system just on that touch screen to continue holy SH this is the future 2008 here we come dual screens weren't necessarily the talk of the town when they were was about DES, most of it came from the touch screen, remember this was 2004, touch screens were rarely used and when they were it was almost There are always things like PDAs and these definitely don't play package selections, so that It's a point for the DS, though, the DS was definitely about video games, even if the UI tries to scream hike and be a PDA for a calendar and a clock.
That's all you really need in an instant messaging app, well I don't care if I do. Pictochat is much more than just the best stage in Super Smash Brothers Brawl and it wasn't just an app, it was an experience where you could start a chat room. 15 players closer and just doodle sending whatever they want to each other. You can also use it yourself. I used to make some pretty clever flip books just by sending a bunch of images and then quickly going through them all. Here I am drawing. stuff on it back in 2009, it was never online so it only allowed you to chat with people in the same room.
You might ask what's the point of messaging people if you have to be in the same room. Well just ask the Nintendo DS stylus or as I like to call it the crotch scribble, yes the Dia's touch screen was too small and not suitable for use with fingers, it was always better to use it for applications that required a more sensitive touch, but by God, they made it hard to guarantee. using it on the original DS model, listen, I get it, they probably couldn't have put the stylus slot on the right or left side, where you know your hand would be, because of the way the internal parts of the system had to be laid out .
I don't care, I'm still going to complain about it, the placement of the stylist on this thing sucks, no matter who it is, having the stylist in the top left corner is terrible, but you know it's one of the dumbest things about the original design, the fact that if you do something on this system and you want to go back to the home screen, you have to power cycle the system and it's not a big deal, but seriously, if you just go to settings, do nothing and try to go back, it forces you. turning off the entire system like that just defeats the purpose of having a splash screen, but whatever, Nintendo still supported the Game Boy Advance and the game at the time and always maintained that the DS was the successor to neither of those platforms. more like it was a third pillar for the company and Nintendo's comedy routine was really getting good at this point, you were just saying that in case the DS failed and if it wasn't a successor, why was it backwards compatible ?
GBA today, I'm not complaining about this feature having the ability to play all Game Boy Advance games instantly, it gave the DSL library a chance to factor in, it's unfortunate they cut it in the GBA and didn't support Game Boy Color on the original Game Boy, but I'll take it at the time of launch dss Sony was preparing to launch its first true portable console, the PlayStation Portable, and almost everyone is placing their bets on Sony to win the war. Nintendo never really had much of a threat in terms of portable competition. Up to this point, I think Sega probably came the closest with the Game Gear and I'll debate anyone who considers that thing to be a handheld or a competitor.
Sony was the undisputed leader of the video game market at the time and the mere idea of ​​them breaking into handheld computers made many Wow, yes, whoever plays Daxter is going to win. The PSP was sleeker and much more powerful, so Nintendo had to do something to show everyone that the DS could handle more demanding games. So what did they do at launch? They included a Metroid demo. Prime Hunters and they stuck Super Mario 64 into a franchise, a game card, the DS launch titles were pretty weak in my opinion, really the only important thing was that Super Mario 64 DS wasn't the full concept of playing Super Mario 64 on the go was mind blowing at the time, having a game like Super Mario 64 anywhere may not seem like a big deal now but back then it was amazing, it really made Dia feel like a home console that you could take on the go with the game .
It looked really good for the system and some may say it looked even better than the original which is debatable as it looks better in the sense that all the character models are updated but everything is much more pixelated on everywhere. I think it still looks pretty good. the platform and it's just a solid remake, too bad my thumbs can hate it, yeah most of my showers nowadays consist of thinking why they thought Mario 64 and the D's were a good idea considering it only has one d- pad that I want to say it works, but it's not ideal in the slightest, they give you some control options, including using the touch screen, they walk around Jesus, but the d-pad is the most optimal and it's still putrid, and for all those who say they play it in 3ds that way.
You'll get your precious analog stick, as the game was programmed to work with a d-pad and a midget button. Using a cirque pad doesn't solve the problems, it still doesn't feel right, it just bothers me that they put it like that. A lot of work went into a remake of Mario 64 only to have it ruined a bit by the limitations of the hardware they put it on. A similar situation happened with Metroid Prime Hunters, since it was a first-person shooter on the platform, I think Nintendo wanted to demonstrate that. At that release, the DS could do things it definitely could do, but not very well;
However, around 2006, Nintendo completely abandoned this impulse and focused on casual. That's when the DS really took off and the console's first redesign played a decisive role. The role here, the Nintendo DS Lite released on June 11, 2006, was everything that civilization was leading to the difference between the first model and the light is night and day, the light improved in almost everything, the design It was elegant and refined, the screens actually didn't at all. It sucks at the stylus placement office, the only two negative things about the light were the fact that the GBA games stuck out when you put them in and it used its own proprietary charger, other than this is a beautiful system, this was the model I got as a Child, in 2007, had the white one and I got a lot of play time with it, but this system because two years later another redesign came out, the Nintendo DSi released on November 1, 2008 in Japan and a North American release on April 5, 2009 in summary. the DSi was an upgraded version with two cameras, but who cares, because they got rid of the GBA slot.
This was a big deal for a lot of people and I have to be honest, it was a pretty solid hit for me, but 2009 Scott still changed the reliability of him. DS Lite instead of a black DSi, in my opinion, was still a worthwhile upgrade simply for the fact that it added so much functionality to the system. The cameras were the big selling point, but for me it was great simply because it almost felt like a Wii. in your pocket, the overall presentation felt very similar to the Wii with the way the various apps and games were presented, the music playing on the home screen, the DSi even had online stores and where we sold well DSiWare games, the DSi store. all games were recently closed - 10 select games can be purchased from the 3ds eShop so it doesn't feel like an apocalypse or something that's going to happen.
You say it always leaves me feeling a little empty, even though it's like we brought a ton of garbage thrown into the service, some stellar titles were there Shantae's Revenge Risky Cave Story Dark Void zero but there sure was a ton of garbage and Dino charged like two dollars each for the calculator and the claw caps like, come on, why did they break? It was a criminally short Warrior War Title that used the cameras and made you clap your hands to play microgames and that barely worked, Dr. Mario Express was a solid dr. I played Mario, but it didn't have online play, so that was a bummer, but at least Flipnote Studio was awesome, it was a really cool little animation tool.
The photo dojo was so cool that you took fics and turned yourself and your friends into fighting game characters, it was definitely fun. available with some DSiWare games, but there just weren't a ton of heavy hitters and it also always put me off that they never had a virtual console for the DSi store, come on, they took away your GBA slot, you should have had a virtual console. - portable games resold off the internet functionality, the DSi had terrible cameras along with amazing software, all the edits you can do to your images were incredible and you could also alter the audio recordings through the DSi sound app an again, although there is a new charging cable. used, which is a mega anointing now, if you hate the idea of ​​a handheld system being portable, Nintendo released a variant of the DSi a year later, the Nintendo DSi XL launching on November 21, 2009 in Japan, March 28 from 2010 inNorth America, they were not.
No joke, in fact this is an XL version of the DSi. If you want larger screens, the DSi XL is for you. It has a shiny coating on the outside and comes with a fountain pen. Other than that, it's literally just a bigger DSi. The XL systems were marketed towards hardcore gamers with the Nintendo 3ds line, but the DSi XL just take a look at the colors we have, burgundy and bronze, these things flooded retirement homes and those are all the DS models that they exist and in terms of which. The systems hold up better today, I'd say anything from DS Lite onwards, however I think all variations have great feeling controls, DS Lite has a slightly softer, squishier d-pad and while that sounds bad, it actually feels very good, DSi.
There is a lot to click here. If you like that kind of stuff you can play DS games on 3ds, but if you want an original DS model I'd say go with the light, the DSi has exclusive features, aren't they all attractive nowadays? and the lack of GBA support makes the DS Lite much more useful, plus almost all the DSi features continue with the 3ds cameras, sound app, dsiware games, it's all there so it's not too much It's necessary to have the DSi these days, but now I have to talk about the games, no matter how you look at them, Diaz had an incredible library.
I definitely say that the third party support was incredibly impressive, maybe even better than Nintendo's, that's not the best thing. Nintendo's offerings weren't good, but the large number of quality third party games were. Crazy, I would say that DS had better third party support than 3ds, however, 3ds had better first party support. Looking at the three big Nintendo franchises represented in DES, the results were a bit iffy. I already talked about Super Mario 64 DS. but in terms of original Mario titles on the platform, none were as prolific as the new Super Mario Brothers, which completely stalled the show being the ideal game for the DS and being the first original 2D Mario game in years. he definitely helped make it happen well, he was praised.
As one of the best Mario games out there at launch, its reception has definitely waned a bit over time simply due to the number of new Super Mario Brothers titles that followed it, regardless of whether the new Super Mario Brothers worked, so Zelda tried a similar tactic by taking 3D models and putting them in an old school format The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Clues are top-down Zelda games with the same aesthetic as Wind Waker, it looks good from the top down view, but when the camera zooms in, the character So, gosh, all of these titles definitely have unique controls, you have to use the touch screen and drag the stylus to where you want the link to go.
I don't know, it just doesn't feel as good as Bunn's controls to me, that's what it is. I don't feel like you're bonded, it feels like you're leading the bond, that doesn't mean they're bad. I'm just not a big fan of controlling the link here, everything else works pretty well. Metroid Prime Hunter said that you move with the d-pad and aim with the touch screen similar to the Mario 64 DS control scheme worked, it just wasn't ideal, it was a b-level Metroid Prime game, but it was still impressive for the system and even included online multiplayer with voice chat, but if you like everything about Metroid Prime except the gameplay.
I could recommend Metroid Prime pinball, which is better than you think. However, the games that really made the days explode in popularity, we are definitely the touch generations title games created for those people who don't know where it is. The L button is Big Brain Academy flash focus crossword puzzles Diaz personal trainer cooking but the biggest one was definitely the age of the brain flip the DEA on its side and hold it like a book for the doctor to scold him Kawashima was a man the only reason why my brain aged The hits are because this game hates how I write high fives talking about games that anyone can play.
I played Professor Lane a lot in Curious Village with my mom. This was a very well made puzzle game with no outstanding production values ​​as far as puzzle games go. Dia nailed them, this was like the perfect platform for the genre Meteos is probably the main puzzle game the Dia can call their own, it was designed by Masahiro Sakurai and I will eventually learn to play it, but now is not the time because choose tails. 3d is in the system, you have the standard option of picking Ross Diaz and then picking Ross 3d which is actually his own thing, like they don't even have to name him after picking Ross because he's unique even though he's still totally chosen by Ross the Mari vs.
The Donkey Kong series came to the DS starting with March of the Minis and is anyone else totally confusing all the subtitles for these games? This was a cute little game. My problem is that they kept doing it over and over again. Again, at least this one had cool CG scenes, check these out, my jaw dropped when I saw my Diaz plane set up with clean looking videos. One thing this game did in Metroid Prime Hunters was show two videos on separate screens, both of the same scene, but from different angles, this wasn't the craziest best use of resources, but it's an interesting use of dual screens that really You won't find anywhere else.
Tetris DS is one of the best versions of Tetris developed by Nintendo which allowed them to have this amazing presentation that features all kinds of old school NES sprites it is fantastic and if we are talking about retro style games the TS was amazing I think that the cream of the crop has to be a retro gaming challenge, a loving homage to 80s games. but there were also a handful of legitimate compilations like Sonic Classic Collection, some from Atari, Namco Museum in terms of throwbacks, versus for men, a great comeback for the Space invaders Xtreme series, it was really great, Grand Theft Auto, Chinatown Wars, now that's a game that screams don.
It didn't make me doubt it, but it was still an incredible throwback to the first top-down Grand Theft Auto, but in the vein of entries like Grand Theft Auto 4, it's one of the few M-rated games on the platform that actually there are none. There are too many out there, but Chinatown is definitely the most iconic. Our rhythm games, just Rhythm Heaven and Elite Beat Agents alone make the DS the perfect rhythm game machine and we can't forget the Guitar Hero games on the system, they only worked with the DS and DS Lite due to the accessory of guitar grip that the GBA slot requires, but this was a very creative way to bring Guitar Hero to the platform.
The RPGs wouldn't stop here, of course, I don't understand any of this, but Pokémon had a ton of entries from the DS series Mario and Luigi continued here Final Fantasy games, including some amazing remakes of the definitive version of Chrono Trigger Dragon Quest The World Ends With You Golden Sun I may not be an RPG guy, but I know they were fantastic in the Mario Kart Diaz platform was huge. I personally never had it growing up, but Deus brought a lot to the franchise. 16 new tracks and the introduction of 16 retro tracks. Remastered online game mission mode.
It's actually pretty good if you don't like Mario. Kart Nintendo also published a new version of Diddy Kong Racing, never expected it to come out Animal Crossing Wild World also brought online play to its franchise for the first time, which became one of the key components of the series Starfox Command is better than Star Fox Zero. everyone at least says that and chibi-robo actually had games here, platformers are my bread and butter, although Kirby was heavily represented on the DS, the most unique game is definitely Canvas Curse, yeah you're drawing lines and guiding Kirby, that's funny, the legendary one.
Starfy was a worthy alternative to Kirby, well if you wanted something a little faster, the Sonic Rush series was definitely your go-to for Mario. The spin-offs were plentiful and included a sequel to Yoshi's Island, this game sucks and the second super Princess Peach verse is the same. like the first one Also, nothing says I hate sex more than Wario, Master of Disguise, at least there were actual Castlevania titles on the platform, I can't say nowadays Scribblenauts was a big deal when it came out, being able to write anything on his appearance in the game was a great idea and if you wanted to be even more creative, drawn to life, you elided to draw your own hero character and I had a lot of fun with this, why you were DIY.
Similarly, let me create my own garbage in the form of my own microgames and I loved every second on the theme of why you are where you were. The contact was fine. It just didn't grab me as much as other entries, but nothing caught my attention more on the DS than dogs. It was the first game I had on the platform and it used every feature of the hardware in such fun ways that you could talk to your dog, teach them tricks, play with toys, buy more dogs, talk to more dogs, teach them tricks, play with toys, buy further.
Dogs, this was great, don't even get me started on the Nintendo DS browser, but you know what was the best thing about DS games. They gave me these cases and they were like half the size of the DVD cases. They just created games. I feel more substantial, well a good amount of the game library is the DS, such a fun system unlike the Wii which was constantly criticized for being a gimmick. I always felt like they were more accepting of the DS, the library was crazy and the system cheats. In fact, it turned out to be incredibly useful in several situations.
It was hard trying to remember all the great DS games. That's how many there were. I'm sure I still miss many. Phoenix, right, Phoenix, right, the series is great, a very fun visual novel. I love these games, well it warms my heart to go on and on about Nintendo DS, maybe you'll see if there's anyone around on Pictochat, it feels the same way we have a live one, someone joined in, uh, maybe. I will tell them that I see you as Pictochat, yes, I didn't send the last two messages, it sounds much more murderous than I wanted.
