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

Actually the original GBA SP had a front lit display. They released a backlit model later on.

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.

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!

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!

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. 🙂

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. :)

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.

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

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

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.

The fact that Nintendo put Xenoblade on the new 3ds is still mind-blowing.

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.

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 😊

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

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.

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

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.

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.

He said “nin10 out of ten”

The Gameboy is as old as I am and I have such fond memories growing up playing Pokemon on it. And I'd had one version or another of every one of these consoles since then.

Gameboy sp was my first handheld that i had and i regret it not keeping care of it since, brings so many memories playing spiderman and tmnt

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.

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.

​@@VeeOasisor Game Boy Light which was a revision of the original Game Boy with a backlit screen. Japan exclusive but still existed.

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)

I thought it was the metallic models that were backlit, and the matte plastic models later were frontlit. Could be wrong though.

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)

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.

This video is utter brilliance. The content, production value, presentation, pacing and passion are all of the very highest level. Pure quality.

21:11 I did the maths and if you built a bridge made from game and watches that goes from London Heathrow Airport to Cardiff It would be able to generate enough processing power as the nintendo switch

4:03 the way he slammed that cartridge into the gameboy made me jump☠ would never do that in 1 million years lol

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

5:12 when they released pokemon gold/silver/crystal in 2000, I was impressed with day and night time in-game as it synchronize with our real time.

Gotta love the limited version super expensive charizard on the table when he unpacking the 3ds. (I could be wrong but it does look like it)

The Nintendo New 3DS was the very first Nintendo console I had, and all the games and features it had were just so nostalgic

2:04 anyone notice the charizard?
