the ds' 3D polygons just had the crunchiest and warmest look to em. They looked like cheeto men

never did i imagine there could be a youtuber who laser-focused in on my weird little niche of mysterious jogos and underappreciated digital atmosphere, but here you are, doing god's work

You're killing it lately, Thor. Most underrated creator on this site.

Ah, Touch Dic. Played it a lot back in my college years.

The ds will always be in my heart as the console that helped me get trough high school

That entire love plus segment would have been a shitshow if this was literally any other youtuber. I'm always surprised but mostly happy about how open minded and thoughtful you are about so many aspects of life, motivates me to become a better person. Fucking banger of a video man, Imma be a shitass hipster boy and say that I'm glad that I discovered your channel before the super eye patch wolf shoutout. Much love brother

For the longest time, I thought I hallucinated Contact. I couldn't remember the name of the game and just thought maybe my brain had dreamed up some modern day RPG.

Well, would you look at that, i was preparing my "WHERE IS THE NAMELESS GAME" mandatory text but here we are, that game is actually in a horror ds games compilation.

There's also a Japan-only Mushishi game on the DS that seems to be just pure vibes, I still waiting for someone to translate it.

The DS will forever be the best combo of fun hardware and software Nintendo will ever have

Is strange how The Sims portable games are story driven

Goddamn why did that clip, of the guy jumping backwards on the horse, make me laugh?

8:38 Therapist: "Sphere ThorHigh doesn't exist, he can't hurt you" Sphere ThorHigh:

I've been waiting my whole life for someone to acknowledge the existence of Sonic Chronicles. It's a good day

my favorite part of the video is where you casually pretend not to know what the wizard of oz is

Nintendo DS has a better library of games than its follow-up console you can't change my mind

I don’t know if it was intentional, but Mario Hoops: 3 on 3 actually came out in Japan 15 years ago today

I saw vinny’s tingle playthrough after learning about the love de lic legacy. Pretty charming game.

"Looking at 2 screens at the same time on the ds is hard" Thor: "f you, here, 4 ds screens"

i swear these videos are the best on the platform. He'll be remembered like we remember shakespeare

"Shitstorm bangers" Never forget

just started watching but im so here for this!! DS library felt soooo spoiled with weird unique stuff. quirky game renaissance

Wow, really wonderful video here Thor. ~Nightcore Jones

Now that you have uploaded, I get to go back through your entire catalogue. Again. For like the 10th time. Life is good.

HIT EM WITH THE CHART

It also had Bangai O Spirits, let's never forget about that.

So glad I found your channel. I always like to turn my brain off to long essay videos on video games, and your voice and delivery is just so satisfying. Thanks for existing!

“Babe wake up ThorHighHeels uploaded”

You should do one of these video for the original Xbox. There are some pretty rare and obscure Japanese Xbox titles. Braveknight, Tenerezza, Dennou Taisen, ExaSkeleton, Magatama or Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment.

As someone that Emulated their way through highschool it's nice seeing a lot of these games mentioned. I've been through a LOT of the DS' library, and it's honestly a fun little collection of games to sift through that we never got over seas. Great video.

Dear diary, thorhighheels put out a video today. It was a good day. Love, Sam

Your channel captures that early 2000s feel so well it’s amazing.

your vids are the best my man. so thought provoking and nostalgic in the best way. immediately start talking to close friends about all those little things that makes these medias special to us

Every time you hit us with the chart I get a very, VERY strong wish to see a Grasshopper video from you. At the very least a Contact video. That game is either wonderfully weird or weirdly wonderful, which I feel is soooooo on brand for you.

I love putting on your videos to vibe to while I play Rocket League

3DS video of any sort would be an epic style infinite dab from me, dawg

This is one of the best video essays I've ever seen

I mean, hand held sims are mostly story driven since GBA Bustin' Out up until Sims 2 Pets. They were entertaining games, at least to me.

Love your channel bud but both Dementium games was released in North America on the ds and was actually my first video game reviews on its first release though it super cringy now so I might have to remake it.

I think the DS is still a great platform, I play Hotel dusk (And Last Window of course) Dementium and the nameless game at least once a year.

Surprised he didn't talk about Starfy such an underrated series.

the vibes on your vids are immaculate bless you

I notice it in other videos on this channel too, but I really enjoy the way you put together your sentences in this video in particular. Like, sometimes I don't understand what's being said, but then it clicks just in time and I can't help but think, wow, I've never in my life heard that sort of thought articulated in that sort of way before. And I mean that in a good way; it's very clever writing, I dig it.

You are the best video game related KZfaqr. Honestly, you have been for a long time. Thank you for what you do.

I purchased a soft modded dsi XL with twilight a month ago. So many unique games for DS its astonishing, especially knowing theres ones that are now playable, thanks to fan translations.

In my baby days I went through 2 DS Lites and finally received the Mario 25th Anniversary red DSi XL for Christmas, after begging my parents for it from watching the commercials on TV (you know the one - with the kids hijacking the school play to ask their parents for it). I still remember, they made a scavenger hunt out of it, I had to go all around the house finding notes with little riddles until I finally found it in, of all places, the dryer. Well over a decade later, I still have that same system, and it's still chugging on strong, despite the original stylus being so worn that it just falls out if you pick the system up at an angle (though I NEVER LOST IT, FUCK YEAH. I did lose the big fountain pen stylus though, but c'mon, there was nowhere to put it), and the display hinge being worn to the point the screen will just wobble back and forth if you let it, it still works, and the original battery surprisingly holds a very good charge still. I've installed custom firmware that allows me to play most .NDS roms from the SD card without issue, and is still in active development to fix existing bugs. If you want though, you can boot into the original firmware on the system, and find all my relics of childhood days. Pictures of little idiot me in the DSi Camera app, flipnotes I saved off of Flipnote Hatena that truly serve as a time capsule, the Four Swords Adventures DSiWare release that was available for free for about a month, the Brain Age DSiWare games that I despised and never played, and some other dinky DSi shovelware from when I actually used Club Nintendo (RIP). In my opinion the DSi XL is still the absolute best way to experience DS games, running at original resolution on the surprisingly vibrant screen, tinny speakers, and gunky plastic overlay of the touch screen. I absolutely love this system.

Never have I been more embarrassed for laughing out loud at a fart.

Definitely influenced by growing up with it, but DS is still my favourite console by a long shot. The sheer install base, combined with the more or less PS1 era hardware (making development affordable) led to an incredibly large amount of quirky, experimental games. It was kind of a unique moment in mainstream video games that I somewhat doubt we will see again.

Great video as always! Wish you covered Chibi-Robo Clean Sweep though its my 2nd favorite lov-de-lic legacy game right next to moon

Just an fyi for jump ultimate stars you can assign characters to switch on the l and r buttons. You don't necessarily need to use touch screen.

I really like the b roll with two different gameplays segments being shown at the same time, really jellz well with the pacing with the vid

Oh hell yeah, this was something I didn't know I wanted but _definitely_ needed.

Thanks for the nut as usual, my man. I'll be sure to finish this later, couldn't make it past a minute, but hey, that's half the point.

Love that emulating DS on the phone you even get full touch screen functionality

This video is fricking epic ! Thx for another banger Mr highheels

Great stuff as usual. You're by far my favorite channel.

Very, very smart editing by putting two DSes gameplay footage in a frame. Might steal for my video in the future. Thank you THH, I love you

That dbz game looks legit actually how dbz should feel

the sims 2 on the ds was my life!! as a kid i found the spooky strange town vibes so creepy along with the alien dissections you get to do later on, so fun and unexpected from the series as i knew it as a naive 8 year old. glad you covered it, more ppl should give it a try

Love the random 3 seconds of Forever Kingdom music you snuck in there. But then, I just plain love Forever Kingdom.

*sees Ronald McDonald* Oh no he's not gonna talk about GOD DAMN IT

I loved this video as much as I loved DS and its catalogue. Thanks for all Thor, my man. 🌷

i love your channel, your taste in video games is god like and your humor is funny.

Jump SuperStars was my first import and I adored it enough that I preordered Jump Ultimate Stars from some Japanese dude on eBay, hooked me up real good getting it pretty much release day. Probably spent a good 3 years playing on/off unlocking everything only to spend my 30s wondering how I managed to have the patience to figure out all the menus (and how to pair up dialogue to panels in the first game).

Just when I thought you couldn't get cooler you turn out to be a Rei Harakami fan

hearing the sims 2 soundtrack again after so many years reawakened childhood memories i didn't even know i had

Well this has been thoroughly enjoyable, i like your style basura brain, consider me subscribed!

Thanks for the video, I’m going to buy the Contact DS cartridge now

KZfaq Didn't show me your last few videos. But thankfully i missed ya and came looking on my own eventually.

"Emulates flawlessly too" - My brain flash backing to time when I needed the thing to emulate well, just after selling my DS and gaining regret for it - realizing how ass it emulated in like 2010 or something. Dumb teenkid problems. Weird circle when you end up buying back your gamecube and DS, with it's flashcart, from people you sold them to originally.

Fuck I thought I knew the entire ds library but you always manage to show some cool games I didn't know about, hope you can manifest some fantranslations for some of them like with racing lagoon

I gotta tell u .man. its 7 am and im listening to my best friend snore, I can't sleep but I don't care. I'm just happy to be alive. Your videos have gotten me through some of the most fucked up absolutely depressing times in my life. I am thankful that u and ur videos exist. Thank you so much man really I have no words to describe how glad I am that I can't watch your videos

How in hell you still have barely 100k subs is beyond me, but you are doing an holy task here, so thanks for this

The DS has my all-time favorite library of games, I still find new titles to play even years later

"Sonic Run" Yes.

Never stop making content dude you're 100% my favorite video game talker man on the internet. I love your music and I love your videos so keep up the good work 😊😊😊.

THANK YOU i always keep trying to remember contact was the name of that mind boggling game tbh i never expected this while clicking on a tingle video

I recently started collecting some unique ds games so this come fortunate!

man, how does your editing continue to improve, every time i think you can't top something, you just end up making a new bit or doing something cool that either impresses me or makes me laugh

yo those 3D models and animations for LovePlus look really good for the DS

My body is ready, for a glorious future CONTACT video 🔥🔥🔥

My MacDonald’s employment experience was a different kind of nightmare. Everything you said was true but the coworker experience. It’s full of people who either had a shot at a future but got pulled off track somewhere, and people who taught me what “below average” really meant. I had to change the way I spoke to them in order for them (native English speakers) to understand me I don’t want to say that in an elitist way, I grew up in an upper middle class upbringing… it was my first experience with people who had basically no privilege and it changed how I look at the less fortunate

You're editing has always been top teir shit but you commentary, man, you've come so far and I feel proud even though I don't even know you🖤

Holy shit Butoden looks good! Very impressive character models & animations!

You've cemented yourself as one of my favorite youtubers when you said you'd defend Sonic Chronicles OST

"35 yrs old no job no money" oh boy

I hope Touch Dic gets its own review. I really want to see Thor's experience with Dic and get a firm grasp on what that game is.

Damn, you're so great at what you do man

Thanks for uploading my guy.

videos that make you get an R4 card...

So you're not even gonna mention that SANITY METER in The Sims 2 DS???

god i LOVE how u fill up the screen with two versions of the game at once,,,,, so good for the eyes. love it

Ultimate Butoden's a pretty rad, so it's cool that you covered it. But it's worth pointing out that the fan translation only really covers the main menu text (which can accidentally be swapped back to Japanese if you change the decals to any of the others you unlock), the pause menu, a few of the attack names and *some* of the menus. Stuff like the cutscenes, item descriptions, and plenty of the attacks go untranslated, making it harder to appreciate the game than its existence might suggest. Perhaps it would be difficult to redo the dialogue text and their timing, placement, etc. during cutscenes, but I do wish that the translators had the time to at least make the rest more understandable. Also, because I'm a massive pedantic, Ultimate Butoden is pretty much a sequel to Final Bout in name only. Final Bout was the last game in the Super Butoden series of fighting games, developed by famous Japanese ~shadow company~ Tose during the early-mid 90s along with pretty much every other Dragon Ball game up til then. Meanwhile, Ultimate Butoden was made by Game Republic - who made the Genji games, Folklore on the PS3, and the weird but kinda cool looking Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom. From what I've heard, Ultimate doesn't play much like the Super Butoden games, with the latter's focus on split-screen combat when you and your opponent are at different heights being totally gone. The same goes for the 3DS game Extreme Butouden, which was made by an entirely differently developer (Arc System Works) and plays more like a proto-FighterZ than anything from either the originals or Ultimate. So yeah, Butoden's pretty much just a name for these two games, but I guess it does get folks thinking 'bout or checking out the older ones, which is pretty great. :) (Sorry this is so long)

Damn I loved the Sims 2 on DS, the one Sims i played wayy to much. Glad you talk about this one briefly and hopefully again in future!

for most high school the DS was the only console I had and it keep being my main console well into college, so I played SO many of these obscure games, it really shaped a lot of my taste for weird, not super polished but charming games, having a never seemingly never ending source them that I would play on my trustful R4 flashcard great console, great games, great video

I remember being obsessed with watching vids of the Bobobobo characters in Jump Smash when I was younger because I was like ohhhhhhh BOBOBO FIGHTER!!!!!

8:34 i was sent into an uncontrollable laughing fit

i like how thor has apparently no idea what the wizard of oz is

Though it's not a Japan only release, I think you would get a lot out of Solatorobo on the DS. Ridiculously charming RPG action beat em up with the crustiest sound and sprites you'll ever seen and controls that had me fearing for my console's life.
