I think I literally played every first person shooter on the DS when I was younger. Moon was so underrated.

I’d argue that not because I dislike cod, but because back then things were split between halo, cod, battlefield, and gears of war. It made all those companies work harder to make good games
You should check out dementium the ward and dementium 2 on the ds. They are FPS survival horror games. There is a solid effort behind it and while dementium: the ward sort of missed the mark for me, dementium 2 was really great. The history behind it is interesting too, I would love to see videos of you covering these 2 games. Also, the horror element is done really well considering its on the freaking DS of all things!
I don't have much to say about CoD, but I love the look of 3D games on the original DS. Of course, I have a huge love for PSone and N64 graphics, and DS is kind of a midpoint between those. Also, I hope things get better for ya soon, Kacey. Thanks for still finding time to make videos for us despite all that 💖
Always a pleasure to learn more about CoD DS ports.

Good work as always, Kacey. You deserve much more subscribers and views considering how well your videos are made.
I remember playing Mobilized in the car when I was a kid. My sister and I both had a DS and we would do local Deathmatches.

your so lucky to have a sister that plays call of duty on ds multiplayer, my sister tried it once and she was winy because she wouldn't kill me.
Love the content, hope whatever's going on gets better soon!
Thanks for the video man super high quality as always. Sorry things are so rough lately, i get it. If you need to take some time off feel free too
I just wanted to say that I love these videos, everyone is so focused on the mainline games that these kind of videos where the B-side of the franchise is appreciated by those who for one reason or another ended up playing these games
Used to play this as a kid on my dsi xl. Good times

bo1 on ds was my first cod that i played on ds and it was fun
finally the video is here love your content great job
You have to give N-space some credit though, they did pretty well with making COD ports with the limitations of the DS's hardware.
Love you Kacey, you're super inspiring and one of the people that keep me somewhat sane during quarantine. I don't think anyone will have any problems with you taking sponsorships, as that won't detract in the least from the quality of your content, in fact it will allow you to be more financially stable and independent to keep working on it. I hope everything get better for everyone soon.
I could watch these videos all day. They're so addicting
Speaking of CoD ports... I’d really love to see the MW Trilogy and WaW/BO1/BO2 ported to the Switch. Maybe with added bots for all of them too.
Love your vids bro
1:48 One thing tho that n-Space was also actually had developed James Bond 007 Goldeneye: Rogue Agent for Nintendo DS and I loved that more than those awful Nintendo DS CoD games...
Nice job, I play on PC almost exclusively and it's very interesting to take a look at this type of gaming.

Gosh, I genuinely adore the fact that you're creating videos on games like this. That way they don't get lost in the shuffle, and there's always something quality to point to when someone wants to know more about them.
Honestly these cod games on the ds are actually genuinely really fun just because of how unique they are
(This is regarding the authors note at the end of the video) Hey man, don't worry l, whatever bad thing is going on, it won't be bad forever, maybe you deserve a break of some kind to do the things you want. Great video btw!

New Kacey video, today is a good day
You know when lack of subtitles hurt the most? When a guy that doesn't understand that much of english without subtitles as support starts playing this game. And despite the portuguese language being similar to english, some of the most used words in both languages are very different In case of point: yes = sim Please = por favor/por obséquio Hello = olá/oi Gun = arma (considering that this word probably is used several times in a war) War = guerra
Wait what? Look at kacey's bio and it says she is a girl? That's so surprising her voice is so deep. It's a crime she doesn't have more subs they defo deserve them.

Would you ever give your input on Soul Sacrifice on the Vita? Wish that game would get a port
COD, Metriod, Moon, Dementium, Golden Eye and Brothers and Arms are my go to fps before we even had a pc. Those were the days
Yeah every COD DS game after 4 makes enemies do insane amounts of damage. World at War suffers from every single rifle being A: a sniper and B: having the exact fucking same model, a Kar98K/Lee Enfield/Mosin Nagant are all exactly the same aside from fire sound (and then you find a Mosin Nagant in the Pacific.), this also means most levels have 3 weapons, your faction SMG, your faction pistol (can't get to use German pistols outside of MP) and the enemy SMG and sometimes a gimmick 4th weapon. (Rocket, flamethrower or machine gun.) I think Black Ops DS is at least interesting enough (and they awkwardly phrase dialogue to avoid spoiling the console verisons) but I feel every COD DS game after 4 is a step-back. (Especially since in COD 4 DS, you'd have 5-7 weapons per level, while it feels like it's 4, including your starting weapons, most of the time in the later titles.)
Loved this game so much back in school,but now when i tried to play it for nostalgia i was shocked how i was able to play it,the frame rate is so bad and thats the main issue.If the game had a good frame rate it would be a very good portable CoD
8:44 This is the second time I watch this video, yet the first time I see a videogame having a placeholder that hasn't been hidden in any way.
As Scott the Woz and others have said, these games feel ok to play on their original hardware but you should absolutely not emulate them on PC, because playing these games while dragging your mouse around the touch screen makes you feel like a complete loser.
I feel like you should cover the manhunt 2 wii port. It just feels like a title you would cover.

Keep up the good work dude. Excellent video as always. Love your coverage of niche titles.
Dang it's been a while since I played a Cod game last was 2016 i only wanted to play Cod for crazy custom mods
Seriously cannot wait for the Black Ops DS video, that game was my child hood

I got couples of four call of duty ds version games at my entire collections
take care, kacey
5:40 woah
It also has a survival mode if I remember correctly you had to complete the game on the hardest mode.
Hang in there Kacey, it gets better. You're worth it. Also great video! Though it's not MW2 for me unless I'm getting face planted by teenagers with akimbo 1887s every five seconds.
Taking "we have CoD at home" to a whole new level.
so i got a question kacey; when will there be a video about bo1 ds port and mw3 defiance port?

Funnily enough, World at War DS was actually one of the better entries in the series. Less verticality, more open maps, frame rate was better and the new assets look really good. The slower firing rate of the WWII guns also made aiming and hitting targets easier since the bullet spread wasn't all over the place.
Even MW2 showed up on the DS But not the Wiii what an odd choice

You should take a look at black ops on ds the good thing about the game is you can use the face buttons or a b x y to move the camera so it's more like a regular Cod game also it has online multiplayer
Take your time, there's no need to be hurry. Good luck!

I think you should check out the Wii Port of Dead Rising 1 that version isn’t that great
Black Ops was the best CoD on the DS
Why does it even have a ds port...
