DSi XL is still THE BEST way to play Nintendo DS games! Here’s why! Never play DS games on the 3DS again! So yeah, it was totally worth the price to me. I wanted to experience a unit right out of the box. Timecodes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2. What makes it special? (1:40) 3. Why the DSi XL is better than the 3DS for DS games (2:16) 4. Games!

Some don’t realize this but the DS, DSi and DSi XL have the same resolution (the same amount of pixels: 192×256). The 3DS line has MORE pixels than the DS line – higher resolution 240×800. When playing, images on the DS lite to the DSi XL there is no “stretching” (scaling) done. The DSi XL just has bigger pixels. The 3DS has to scale. Or you can play at the native resolution and aspect in the Native mode so it fits to a represented 192×256 pixels on the screen. As you see here though there is pixel pairing done on the 3DS too so you never actually get native 1:1 gameplay with DS games at all.
Thanks a lot for this detailed video ????
7:13 If you want to do this, you will probably need another DS to transfer from HG/SS to BW/B2W2.
How did you find a dsi that has never been opened?
I’ve always wanted one since I was a child
I didn't know that yellow XL existed, but my oh my it's gorgeous! ????????
I’m happy this is the ds I (dsi) grew up with, I still have my original childhood one
The DS Chungus
The biggest issue for me was the sound, actually; It's just so muffled on a 3DS. The DS/DSi speakers were made for those compressed sounds.
The dsi xl is by far the best ds model!
Also Dsi xl has duel IPS screens unlike new 3ds xl which has a lottery system
The DSI XL is such a nice console and feels so good in the hand!
I love your ramble about dsi xl vs 3ds screens. I'm glad I'm not the only nerd to notice it!! I really want to use my 2ds xl to play ctgp 7 and yo kai watch 3 and also play my old ds games and pokemon blaze black, but the ds games look so washed out and weird on a 2ds xl screen!! I'm stuck between using my dsi xl which has a broken hinge but I still love it, or my 2ds xl to play whatever game I want!! I can' take both wherever I go, that's too much.
I really love your explanation on the pixels it makes me really understand why people stand by the dsi xl for ds games.
You're so beautiful miss
it's so big and hackable
I don't know anything about these but picked one up today to play Mario Kart on a bigger screen. Thank you for giving me the breakdown that helps me feel great about this purchase. Mario Kart is great with the bigger screen! I'm going to enjoy my Lego Star Wars stuff on here too.
Im officially the 10 000th like
The Nintendo dsi XL is still so good !
does it come with flipnote?
I used to have dsi xl, I sold it for 40 bucks and my final verdict is just get a 3ds xl
still have my dsi, but after watching this video i bought the dsiXl for the experience, just priced at 14 dollars.
I just dusted off the old DSi a few days ago and it still works like a champ! I agree with you about the games looking better than when playing on the 3DS and that the control pad is better positioned.
