E3 2004 — Nintendo DS Introduction

[YoshiLover2012]

I swear to god there is One guy in the back that starts clapping, then the "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" guy starts yelling, then everybody else hops in.

[hakingdedede3]

Can't get enough of these videos... Ah ! Nintendo's E3... ^_^

[RedYoshiReturns]

I giggled when Iwata's voice got chipmunked.

[Legoissocoollike]

That audience went wild for just the normal ds.....And now the 3ds is out!

[TrapnestShinigami]

El chino igüata

[BadAssPunch]

Wi-Fi compatible .. such a lie !

[SuperGachet]

@BadAssPunch Why do you say that?

[TrapnestShinigami]

@BadAssPunch

Am.. it has built in Wi Fi... even my fat DS has that

[BadAssPunch]

@TrapnestShinigami

did you even tried to connect your ds with your Wi-Fi hotspot ?

i know the answer: NO!

[TrapnestShinigami]

@BadAssPunch

Of course I did. I'm not a fail as you may understand.

[husambusam]

So ugly and Toyota looking like from the 90's lol

[charvelgtrs]

Did you hear that freaking audience? Damn

[neochris2]

The 3DS is a worthy successor. Well done, Nintendo.

[fakemadereal]

Pulls out ds,"ALL WORSHIP IT!". And everyone did.

[leftovers0]

Nostalgic as fuck.

[olizelda]

"IT'S JUST AWWESOME."

[yvaaar]

wow the prototype looks terrible

[slopydecks]

press 9 2 6 abunch of times

[ExMxO59002]

Wi-Fi means you can connect via the... net.

[AllieRX87]

8 years later, it has become one of the greatest gaming platforms of all time.

[LukeBramaz]

@munchlaxdaughter10 Microsoft don't make computers.

[magnus87]

How many times Iwata said "We"? XD Yeah is a "revolution" XD

[FuegodeInfierno]

"and it printed money"....

[18002779904]

press 6 repeatedly

[jasontdude]

1:28 -everyone in the crowd orgasms-

seriously best crowd reaction EVER

[CannibalPony]

I almost shit my pants when he said awesome.

[munchlaxdaughter10]

The Nintendo DS was my first gaming system EVER. Then it was the Wii, then the DSi, then The GameBoy Advance, The PS2 (For Kingdom Hearts, which I found on the DS), The GameCube, The PSP (Also for Kingdom Hearts) and the PS3 (In-case KH3 was on the PS3). I personally believe the X-Box and The 360 is crappy, and only made to beat Nintendo. Microsoft, please stick with making computers, and let Sony and Nintendo create a new gaming revolution. One step at a time, together.

[munchlaxdaughter10]

@munchlaxdaughter10 And I forgot the Nintendo 3DS

[scullproductions]

At the end he tells off all the wii haters

[joelcr250]

Nintendo just PWNed the competition

[CALCLAN1234]

So basically Iwata hinted off that the have the Wii in the making during this time period... Interesting.

[Slimsy1000]

2004:Well the wait is over,this is the DS!

2011:Well the wait is over,this is the 3DS!

2012:Well the wait is over,this is the Wii U!

What's the Wii U? tap it at the search Youtube and you will see!

[Plekepe]

DS came just a year after the Game Boy Advance SP (GBA SP). Look at the big difference!

[Plekepe]

That DS that the guy is holding was the prototype version. The final version looked different and way uglier! Thumbs up if you agree!

[YoshiLover2012]

@Plekepe no dude the Final edition looks better than the prototype.

[Delfino224]

@Plekepe I have the real final version and I love it. It's lasted me years and I enjoyed it very much.

[1whocaresaboutaname]

2004 ; oh my god its so cool 2011 play a 3ds

[Jayman493]

Yah gotta admit, Reggie knows how to present.

[DeeJayTDoggs2011]

A simpler time

[HardstepTijuana]

damn those ware good old tdays with the wifi and with metroid prime hunters

[mattsawesomeplanet]

wow, the ds looked alot different when it was anounced.

even though its very ugly, I still kind of wish I had one : (

[ids3mom3084]

iwata sounds like hes making a point on every 2 or 3 words...

"Nintendo was... proud. That we could... unveil. Something such as the DS!"

[fannboygh]

wow,E3 with fans on the conference it's way better

[Mindtide]

Holy balls this looked terrible.

[ZNemerald]

Even back than..Reggie talks slow..Well, he talks faster here compared to 2011

[metacrisis47]

Wow, they went crazy for that Metroid. On the real though, it's a pretty good game.

[MysticMikey]

how ugly is that, thank god they took away the black stuff, and even better, ended up making a DS Lite

[Lorenzo2300]

Man, the original DS phat was ugly

[Snoutmasta]

At 1:15 - 1:17 you can hear a guy in the back yell "OH MY GOD" at the new Metroid game.

[Akfamilyhome]

2004: OMG DOUBLE SCREENS AND TOUCHSCREEN! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???

Now: Old and boring...I'd rather play my 3DS.

[Anthony883]

ewwwwwww

[Wilford870]

1:54 it's just AWESOME.

[EmuNext]

Reggie: "The same way you will be playing it tomorrow."

*the audience goes wild*

1:24

[Default158]

(drops the DS) oh shit!

[hotchocolate420]

@Default158 Hahahahah

[zelda42293]

Wow. This is one of the few videos where Transcribe Audio actually gets it ALMOST perfect.

[Wrathmont313]

Reggie is pretty thin here. His body is ready... for lots of food.

[RiseOfTheBreys]

Woe listen to the fucking retards having a orgasm over a Netflix game....wonder how they felt when it failed

[Lolalvaro]

rintroducring the rintendo risty fror

[EnterTheNoodle1]

@Lolalvaro your mindless rasism amuses me

[Lolalvaro]

@EnterTheNoodle1 cool story bro

[1mursyid1]

THE DS IS OLD NOT LIKE MY DS LITE

[christiandoritos]

@1mursyid1 THE DS LITE IS OLD NOT LIKE MY 3DS

[SOkraTox]

@christiandoritos me 2!, but i still have the ds

[christiandoritos]

@1mursyid1 jk, i don't own any nintendo console lol

[EICL2011]

THat ds looks UGLY Lol good thing I waited for the 3ds :D

[Duelist8970]

Watching this while holding my 3DS

[Akfamilyhome]

@Duelist8970 me too

[Otakuguy12]

diff-u-rent

[NextNate03]

Tech. specs. is not important?!?!?!?! This is the new age that the horsepower does not mater?!?!

I think that is one of the reasons Nintendo is failing right know.

[Gizametalman]

¿It's just me? Or anyone else note that Reggie Fils-Aimme talked like Christopher Walken...

[THELASTREDMAGE]

Miyamoto is still better.

[TheColorPaul]

I can tell the beta design DS was small because of the way Reggie holds it...

[HipsterCity]

The DS Phat is so heavy and bulky, I can't ever imagine how I wasted hundreds of hours of my life holding that piece of crap! :x

[Wrathmont313]

So hideous. Hahahaha.

[FastFastFastRadio]

i love how regi pulls it out of his pocket like hes had forever

[jensssen]

LoL reggie's first e3 XD

[tehpiezorz]

its too bad that metroid game SUCKED

[THEARBITER641]

@tehpiezorz You do realize this was only just the beginning of portable 3D gaming right?

[Atstyle]

@tehpiezorz lol we must not have been living in the same world back then, because that game was a huge success, to bad you probably just sucked at it or didn't had the chance to play it online.

[tehpiezorz]

@Atstyle lol, no, im pretty sure it just sucked, just like everyone else i knew was pretty sure it just sucked. I love my nintendo consoles, ang games, but that was not a game i enjoyed.

[Atstyle]

@tehpiezorz thats pretty much only you read up on internet and how much ppl played it and liked it.

[TechyWizard101]

Prototype DS.

[Ther3tr0]

The audience's reaction is awesome.

"It is Wi-Fi compatible!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH­HOOO"

[videogamepimp22]

thumbs up if they should of kept that design

[dbzandrs2]

wait what? Metroid Coming out TOMMOROW, ds console coming out some random time this year?......wha?

[zelda42293]

"But what if your friend is more than a few feet away? Say, a few time zones away?"

Audience: Yeah.

Reggie: No problem.

Audience: What? OH SHIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!

[nintendolover2000]

That looks NOTHING like an original DS.

[TheMeleeMaster21]

@nintendolover2000 maby it was a prototype

[SPACEMANBRIGHTSIDE]

Apple is ruining the gaming industry -_-

[BradBoZ1998]

@SPACEMANBRIGHTSIDE It is.

[iszalgocomin]

@SPACEMANBRIGHTSIDE I am happy that Apple is taking Gaming consoles away from homes, I am not a hipster, but we are the gamers, and the Iphoners are the faggots. Lets seperate those two.

[MegaKratos234]

@SPACEMANBRIGHTSIDE ??????

[SPACEMANBRIGHTSIDE]

@MegaKratos234 lol yeah that comment was a long time ago. its just that people are saying that an ipod/iphone is a great gaming platform. but dies in an hour when playing a good game, then putting the games at a cheap price makes us get kind of crappy games if you think about it.

[MegaSaiyanking]

is it normal that iwata talk like that that fast pinch sound.

[DocteurCube]

@MegaSaiyanking Yes, I made it faster cause it was too long and not very interesting ^^.

[Ps123Pro]

Press F13

Thumbs up if you looked !

[iPrObLemChiLD]

que fea era esa mierda

[segafan230]

the ds prototype looked better tahan the original ds even like nicer than dsi cause it s coll and futuristic

[segafan230]

it prints money!!!!!!!!!

[mario54671]

@sprlttlkid It was....except even more epic... :P

They had this whole dramatic zoom-in of the 3DS where everybody sitting at home was just like "oh shit, there it is!" And then Iwata comes out and says "This is...Nintendo...3....D.....S." I don't get how this could beat that. It's just reggie pulling it out of his pocket...

[Duelist8970]

I'm watching this while playing my 3DS. 

[mirko1000ful]

hoo hoo



[QuackerMan45]

exactly how he held the 3ds

[ultimatetoturial56]

it brings me a childhood ;D

[ridingwithsonic]

and thats how they lied

[Iatedave]

whats wrong with this guys hands, is he trying to stroke an invisible dog or something?

[Embur1997]

wait whats wrong with the ds

[SwimyGreen]

3:00 Umm...

[BLAZ3R0]

From the DS to now the 3DS, its been already 7 years! :D

[llJAFYll]

*sniff i'm so proud of nintendo. *kisses my ds

[lolfreak21196]

i never get tired of watching this

[rania3830]

im so glad nintendo came out with the ds lite. because the ds phat was ugly. just looking at this now hurts my eyes.

[25anomaly]

@rania3830 This was a prototype, the ds phat didnt even look this bad

[rania3830]

@25anomaly

i know it was prototype but the finish product didn't look much different than this. it was still fat and ugly and awkward to hold.

[25anomaly]

@rania3830 I had a DS phat, got it on launch day and the upgrades were much better but I just dont like the incremental updates. I just got a 3DS on launch so hopefully there wont be a 3DS 2 coming in the next year, btw speaking of which Im looking for 3DS friend codes if you have one.

[25anomaly]

@rania3830 I also liked how everyone cheered for wifi lol nowdays even my puppy has wifi lol.

[iCamEntertainment]

Jezus this crowd is even better than from the apple keynotes. "and this is metroid prime". WWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOOO

[jensssen]

It's funny to see this now after 7 years XD

[Etkar2008]

Reggie: The same way you'll be playing that tomorrow.

Random guy in the audience: Oaooowww! Oaaahhh!

WTF?!

[XsharkunX]

Merci pour les sous-titres. Ce petit bijoux qu'est la DS me manquera. :(

[Lirankn]

How the hell did they design such an ugly console..

[gurvur]

Nintendo's the only company which i've seen to innovate the industry of gaming and he only LEGITIMATE game company since their consoles are all about gaming. Nintedno makes Video Game Systems not Entertainment systems like Microsoft and Sony

[Ditherliss]

@gurvur So true bro. When Nintendo makes a new system, it's really a new system. When they make something they say to themselves "Oh, wait, people are actually going to USE this aren't they?" Whenever anyone else makes a system, it's just the last version with better graphics. The only thing they think is "Here's a better version, have at it you stupid kids, now give us money". Sad Nintendo is the only company that still cares.

[netKnap6]

3:04 -----> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[netKnap6]

Nintendo DS ---> Nintendo Down Syndrome

I had one, believe me! I hate it! Graphics suck big time! PSP!!! I LOVE YOU

[bmcj199]

@netKnap6 IT'S ALL ABOUT GRAFFIXXIXIIII!IIIIIIIIII(Guvm­0ikhtrtsghfdsf894t89h

[iwanabrawl]

Reggie: heres a new metroid game playing on nintendo ds

Audience: oh woah Wooooooo

Reggie: The same way you'll be playing tomorrow.

Audience: WOOOOOOOOOO AHHH WOOOOAH

Reggie: just tap the screen where you want to fire

Audience: oh, oh, aww

[smashlover9]

the DS became the best selling console EVER over christmas, take that sony nintendo's here to stay!

[Crow70921]

could someone give me ss/hg 10th mew for free, i missed that event, to thanks i can subcribe

[realar]

Wow how the time has flied.

Presentation is a lot better now than then.

Reggie still knows how to push hardware.

Yes I like the look of the 3DS when it first appeared.

[BrooklynBros]

Audience: Wooooooooooooooaaahhaahhahahaa­ooaohaohaohaoahoahoaahoaaaahah­hhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SPS148669]

NGP=Nobodies give a poop, Nintendo Got Pawned..........

[JonnMcNally]

Nintendo DS is freaking ugly here LMAO

[przrbl182]

i remember this. when everyone said the DS was dead before it even came out, when the psp was "all that" (still a great console). how times have changed!

3DS, and we're just a few minutes away from the PSP2 unveil. Can't wait to look back at this comment and say: "wow, i wonder what i was thinking, how is the psp2 gonna look like?" :P

[247xReviews]

@przrbl182 I Remember This Day Too!!!! I First Saw The PSP And Ds In The Newpaper At My School. I Was So Freaking Excited The Entire Day. Yeah People Were Trash Talking The Ds Saying PSP Was Better

[Plingdom]

I wish I could take my 3ds and take it back in time to 2004 n show all these people. just see em all pooping themselves. that was before the wii even cam out lol. theyd be like "THE GRAPHICS ARE AS GOOD AS GAMECUBE!!!" "3d? whats..OMG ITS POPPING OUT OF THE SCREEN! WITCHCRAFT! WITCHCRAFT I SAY!"

[EliteMusic99]

he dont look so happy...

[KanineKruizer]

You know, I think the E3 DS looks uglier than the production version, but that is not why I decided to comment.

I noticed how surprised the audience was to see the graphics of that Metroid demo, but it didn't occur to me until a bit later, so I had to return and comment.

My comment...

It finally occured to me why the audience was so excited. Compare that footage to the Game Boy Advance. Now that's improvement!

And the PSP 1000 hadn't even been released yet, so this was the best then.

[df61660a]

Reggie: "just tap the screen where you want to fire"

Audience: "Aww noo!!!"

[SamAtAstrocraft]

@df61660a omg lol

[Matanumi]

watiching this years later really puts things in persepctive.... after this system, touch screens slowly became more and more.

[Ditherliss]

Wow, Nintendo's 2010 E3 was way more lively than this. Damn. I guess they really got a lot more popular since 2004. I remember when I was all hyped for the DS. I wait and wait, looking at pictures of it like it was porn. I also remember the DS Lite being similar to that. So shiny. I still play with my DS Lite. Glad to know all that waiting and hope weren't for nothing.

[mitchx69]

This blew me away when i first saw it and seeing mario 64 run on it to bad Nintendo or other companies didnt make games that take advantage of the 3d graphics

[AnotherUnamedHero]

what an ugly thing it was, im glad they realesed nintendo ds lite

[55shfiftyfive55]

They should stop letting Reggie onstage he's a fucking idiot, Iwata knows what he's doing

[PiratedComedy]

Proto DS FTW

Watching this...the memories...just come flooding back...This was 6 years ago?! Holy...

[WeavileShonee]

Nice job, Nintendo. I applaud you.

[earlyriser03]

"here's a new metroid game."

*audience has simultaneous orgasm*

[everlife199]

@earlyriser03 "The same way you'll be playing it tomorrow."

*Another simultaneous orgasm*

[GrayWoIf]

I didn't like the 3DS model they showed at E3 I hope they improve on it instead of what they did here and make it look uglier

[kirbaflagajaged]

@GrayWoIf and maybe add another slide pad under the A,B,X,Y, buttons

[Plingdom]

@GrayWoIf I liked it,

[TheFoxshot]

OMG, that DS looks way better than the release model.

[ShortDood908]

It looks cooler than the final product

[chinglin30]

old ds sux!!! :p

[alternateshadow300]

@chinglin30 Well I don't think it "sucks" but the DSi was definitely a huge improvement over it. 3DS will beat both of them.

[dakeshon]

@alternateshadow300 I Agree The Nintendo 3DS Will beat em all

[dannyboy9844]

@alternateshadow300 All the Features of the DSI with a video camera and 3D of course.

[eatcarpet]

"It changes our industry" Glad they got that right.

[Mik3LVGP]

o.O Reggie is here so so young XDDD now is older and fatter XDDDDD

[realar]

What they gave the release date for the DS but not the 3DS man they're killing us here!

[SPS148669]

@realar

There targeting the new one for next march 2011 but keep an mind the 3DS now has a new 128 bit GPU that renders bigger worlds and better graphics while the old DS had a 64 bit GPU so games will take longer to make on the new one than the original DS series which expained the longer release date vs original DS release date.

[realar]

@SPS148669 Still with this new hardware, it's gonna be hard to wait for the release date much less the release. Making it come to Japan months before us is gonna be even more torturous.

[realar]

Wow I can't believe this was 6 years ago.

I like that model more than the DS Phat. Not saying I don't like the Phat.

[Allosaurus87]

era più bello il prototipo che il ds fat xD

[davthegamer]

alala celle qui a été présentée ne ressemble pas a celle qui est sortie dans le commerce ^^
