Lego Games on Handhelds | From DS PSP & 3DS - Cam Reviews 

Please don't make me talk about Lego Marvel Super Heros Universe in Peril for the Nintendo 3DS. Just wanted to edit this, but there was an error in my video, I claimed the PSP was more powerful than the 3Ds which is not true. I'm sorry for this mistake, I always just assumed that because the psp had more powerful games on it like GTA. Something like this won't happen again!

Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 was one of my favorite games on DS, if you are used to playing games with touch controls it actually makes for a fun little game to play every so often.

Lego Star Wars 2 on the PSP was easily the best port of any lego game to portable. It was a direct port of the console version with additional content like the ability to play a couple of levels from the first Lego Star Wars.

Indy 2 on DS was my jam back in the day. The mini games were so fun and replayable and it’s crazy how many of the levels I can vividly remember!

One of my favorite Lego games is Lego Battles on the DS. It's a neat RTS game that also allows you to local play with others on custom levels.

I actually really liked what they did for Lego Harry Potter years 1-4 on the DS. It was very unique and told the stories of the movies better than the console version did imo. I kinda wish 5-7 had this same style. From what I can tell all of your problems with it seem to stem from the fact that you played the PSP version. A lot of the problems you have with it aren't present on the DS.

This was the only way I could experience these as a kid It made me blow my mind from how the console versions look once I played them

Lego indiana jones 2 on the ds was magic to me as a kid. I think it might be the first time i dipped my toes into not strictly level based progression. And now that i think about it, that might have stuck with me until now because i vastly prefer exploration over levels.

I grew up with a DS and I will always have nostalgia for Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 DS, and I’m glad I figured out a long time ago you can use the D-pad, or I would’ve just never played it

My favourite handheld Lego game was probably Undercover: The Chase Begins, keeping in mind that original Undercover is probably my favourite mainline console Lego game. I love how they made it a prequel story instead of a direct port of the main version and, as a huge fan of crime cinema even as a kid, I adored how it had more of an emphasis on individual gang leaders compared to the console game. The main issue I always remember is how unsatisfying the ending felt, even as a kid, since it led directly into the events of the console game, but I hold that game very dearly as the first 3DS game I ever owned. And God, the music sticks with me to this day. Very excited to see that game covered in this series because I have genuinely never heard anybody talk about it.

Hey there! I'm really happy to see someone that's dedicated a channel to covering niche lego games! You definitely have a lot of potential in regards to that niche, as hardly anyone else is talking about them! I can't wait to see where this channel goes, and you defently earned a lot of respect from me. From one niche video game reviewer to another, I wish you the best of luck!

Lego Indiana Jones 2 might be my most replayed game in the DS. I also didn't get too far in the open world as a kid

Fascinating video. Growing up I didn’t own too many home consoles, so most of my gaming was done on portables. I enjoyed the lego games I played on my Nintendo systems, sure they weren’t all as good as the console version, but they had a special charm to them. I kind of miss the different experiences portables could offer, my last one was lego Jurassic World and I played it all the time. Now that I’m old enough and can afford a lot of the older consoles I can appreciate the charm the portables had going for them more

Glad to see someone talk about the hand held port of LEGO Games. I feel they deserve more recognition even if they kinda went down hill after Harry Potter 1-4. Can't wait for your future videos on portable LEGO Games.

Great video! As someone who didn't have a handheld growing up so played most of the console counterparts on the wii, its so strange seeing how different these games were at times considering they were often marketed together, almost as if they were the same product.

It's so nice to see Lego Indy 2 DS get some recognition. I remember that game blowing my mind as a kid, because it felt so much more vast and polished than any handheld LEGO game up to that point. Getting to ride vehicles and explore the open world was so cool.

I’m glad you made a video about this. Was always so intrigued with how they ported these games to portable versions. I type this as I’m playing Lego Batman 2 on my ds lol

Super cool video! I can't wait to see you cover more of the 3DS games! Especially Lego Batman 2 and Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins. Those two are fantastic!

The DS versions of the Lego games always fascinate me. They're so close yet different to the console originals, it's very charming to me. This was such a good video, you did a fantastic job.

Me and my brother had Lego pirates on ds growing up and we still have them to this day thanks for the nostalgia!

Just played Lego Harry Potter on my Steam Deck and it felt like back in the days with Lego Star Wars on my GBA. So much memories :)

I played all of these games since i didn’t have the console at the time, and i’m glad there’s some content about them! I loved playing them all, especially Indiana Jones 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean. Greta video!

HP 1-4 was probably one of my favorite ds games growing up, I like that it was different and used the touchscreen, it wasn't console lego HP but it was never trying to be that and I think they did well (at least on the ds version)

I grew up playing a good chunk of both handheld and console versions of Lego games with more time usually spent on the former. I really enjoyed experiencing the journey of the lego games and seeing how different (or similar) these titles can get, and seeing the final game be nearly identical in terms of gameplay and level design is great and a little bit poetic since it's a star wars one.

I must say, for such a small channel like yours you did a really great job of talking about these odd pieces of video game history and it was interesting looking at these different ports of the Lego games I loved as a kid with some aging better and still seeming fun today while others maybe not so much. I look forward to seeing your channel grow more and I for one, can’t wait until the next part of this series comes out.

I have fun memories of Lego Battles for the DS, it was a huge game in terms of content and it includes a bunch of cool Lego series that weren’t based on other franchises like Castle and Pirates, I’d say looking back it probably is what got me interested in RTS games, never really heard anyone talking about it outside myself and my friends who played it with me as kids

I recently got a Ps vita and was looking for games to get on it. I grew up playing Lego Batman on the 360, and although I was aware that the DS version was different, I had no idea there was also a PSP version. Well, to my surprise the PSP version is remarkably similar to the home console versions. I was expecting it to be different like the DS version was, but it literally is just the home console version with lower resolution and worse frame rates. It actually blew me away. I was so impressed. I would have loved owning the PSP version of Lego Batman as a kid

Lego Batman on the PSP Go was all i ever played as a kid. Man that was great

Awesome video! It was great looking at these handheld versions that I've never seen before. It's kinda sad how the PSP went from basically running the full console versions of games, to a stripped down version like Harry Potter 1-4. haha. Great video, keep it up!

Really great content my man! Well put together and a great topic. I've always wanted vids like this for the portable games.

i played lego star wars 3 on ds growing up and that was legit one of my fav games on ds, something i really loved about the game was the atmosphere of the levels. they were all really different and all felt really immersive, and although i was a kid the game legit made me feel ways ive never felt like that since

Indy 2 was so cool how it was set after Crystal Skull, never realized there was an ending cutscene!

I remember playing lego starwars 3. I enjoyed it when I was younger. It was fun

So here's the thing about the portable Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4! As a kid, and even looking at it now, I loved it. I played it so many times on my iPod that my imagination and love for Harry Potter was kindled. NOW. As I have had my fair share of horrible Nintendo DS games, especially the ones that center on the touchscreen, I have no doubt it would have been worse on the DS (maybe the PSP, as well). Oddly enough, it's really the best portable Lego game I have ever played (from a personal perspective). The graphics and the gameplay could have been better, but it has that "home-baked", cozy feel, like something you'd play before going to bed.

The original Lego Star Wars on hand held looks so retro and I love for that! It's looks like an actual 2D game with sprites and that's something I've never seen before as nearly every other game on handheld and console use 3D models. It's just a really cool aesthetic to apply to Lego and I'm glad that it exists if nothing more than for the novelty of it!

Your channel has a great chance to start blowing up if you continue this. I don't see much people going over lego games on handheld consoles

I loved Indiana Jones 2 on my 3DS. I had an old DS cartridge of it, but I loved to play it & I loved Indiana Jones. I even cut the Lego sets I wanted out of the manual to try & shove them more in my parent's faces so they would buy me them, which in hindsight was pretty stupid but it leaves memories with usually the one part of a physical game nobody really cares for, the manual. I'm still sad that I lost the cartridge almost 9 years ago inside a sofa at our then house, & never found it, but what I didn't lose is the original case & manuals. I still have all of those, & hell, I think it still has the old EB Games sticker on the front cover from when I got the game. The cartridge really isn't that expensive, so I'll probably buy it back one day, to finally revisit my memories with the game. I have fond memories with it & the first Lego Indiana Jones on my Wii, so here's hoping one day soon I get to relive those experiences.

You have earned yourself a new subscriber! Love this video! Keep up the great work!

I can't wait to see your opinion on the lego chima one as that's the one i played the most as a kid :D You have earned yourself a sub :D

I actually owned PotC on 3DS and I was so surprised to see how closely it had tried to match the console version. I'm glad you liked it too (as well as TCS but I also owned the console version eventually down the line)

Love lego games and barely played the handheld versions. Video is great and interesting, cant wait for the next one

i love lego star wars 3 on ds it just gives me so much nostagia probably may favorite lego game because of fun memories hiding the ds under my pillow after my bedtime and i pretended to fall asleep

the sheer amount of nostalgia i'm getting from remembering Lego Harry Potter yrs 1-4, Lego Star Wars 3, and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean for the ds is incredible. I seriously wish that they were ported onto the Switch.

Alright, I'm sold Just became a new subscriber! Great content!

Not gonna lie, I wanted *someone,* especially me at some point, to do a video like this. Good job making it a reality! It really helped!

I have so much nostalgia to Lego Star Wars on the Ds. I played this game long before I even watched the actual movies.

I remember as a kid, I was so excited for a potential Lego Harry Potter game, and my first experience was the DS game........ yeah, that dampered the hype a lot. I still remember the house, gringotts bank, diagon alley, and train were all 4 separate levels, and then playing the real game I was shocked that it was all composited into one level.

I am glas this appeared in my recommendations, really nice video keep the good work

Lego Star Wars lll and Pirates of the caribbean on the DS are my childhood

Finally some love for Lego Indy 2 on DS! That game is insanely good.

I remember feeling envious of my friend who had Lego Indiana Jones 2 on the console while I only had it on the DS, turns out I was the one with the better version

personally i wish you couldve gone back to lego star wars on gba, great video tho! would love to see a part 2!

First. I always love when someone talks about portable versions of games. Kudos to you for that. Second. I think you need to try Lego Battles.

Growing up in poverty these games where my child hood, always getting one any time we went to a swap meet, this is why now I’m obsessed with legos

omg the nostalgia, you deserve a like and a sub 👍🏽

year 1-4 was great for me on DS i don't know why but I just loved potion making with touch screen. Also I remember a feature where you had to literally blow into DS microphone to talk in snake language.

In your Lego Indiana Jones 2 review you failed to meantion that for the console release all 6 acts followed the same 5 mission type structure which was good for an easy Platinum when I was young but now I want a more intellectually engaging experience. I totally agree on your points, so glad that I have decided to finally finish all the Lego DS games that I own.

Mac survived Crystal skull? Best day of my life

i remember loving harry potter years 1-4 as a kid, my Dad rented it out from a blockbuster and I only had like a week to play it, and I played the hell out of it that week

I really like years 1-4 on the DS and PSP....I'm not big on Tears 1-4 on consoles because it's so plot driven and the repetition. *In order to get to this class...find a shovel and do it three more times.* At least in DS port we have classes to go to, spells to learn that weren't apart of the movies, better potion making. There's only so much fun I can have with "Interact with this, destroy everything and find the same ingredients, go back and get a Dark Magic character to destroy this Box or Ball" I do like the book references sprinkled in the console version of Years 1-4 like the troll guards and how Tom Ruddle flashes into his Book Voldemort description.

How do you not have more subscribers you deserve more

I've always loved how different the portable lego star wars games were, also wish the Rocket battle droids were in the console lego clone wars games, it's strange to see them be portable exclusive But really I just love all Lego Star Wars games! awesome video and it'd be really cool if you touched upon the Lego star wars website games! 🙌

Nice to see a NEW CHANNEL ‼️ hope you find your niche👾 This Vid alone got me to Sub

Lego Batman 3 on 3ds was actually pretty good. Lego star wars complete on ds was VERY limited but for what it was it wasn't bad.

Thank you mate this was a class video

Love, love, LOVED LEGO Harry Potter years 1-4 for the DS. Don’t know why, just really enjoyed it

i remember as a kid playing both lego harry potters on my kindle and i loved it lol.

I remember playing lego batman trilogy on my ds and 3ds. Such a great memories.

Holy shit, you actually used my footage??? Now I kind of regret not finishing my Story Mode playthrough (I left off at the tail end of Year 4). Thanks, I guess! For reference, you _can_ actually move your character with the D-Pad in the DS version of _Years 1-4._ Makes it easier to focus on swiping your spells, at the very least.

I grew up on the 3ds and some of my first games ever were the two Lego Star wars games on the ds, and later Lego batman 2 and Lego lord of the rings. All those games (especially lotr) are super underrated and everybody should try them. Another great one is Lego avengers, that gives you Manhattan as a hub, which is really cool.

I played Harry Potter 1-4’s iOS port on iPad and iPhone back in the day. Loved it to death for some reason. I think for such a limited device at the time, it was really solid and a good boredom buster. And the controls work because well, there’s no buttons

Honor mention to Lego Star Wars Complete Saga on DS. They managed to completely remake the game to fit on the 3ds, and it's mostly the same, only simpler, but still fun as heck. They did a lot of work and it turned out really well considering the hardware limitations.

So they released that version of years 1-4 on mobile and just playing it on that made it seem so much better to me, the touch controls, the camera, just made more sense on mobile, and I quite enjoyed it as a kid!

1-4 actually had an exact port on the iphone which I loved to play on my mom´s as a kid.

Fantastoc video, lots of nostalgia here

3ds pirates was the shit in my childhood recently found my old 3ds and played this game a couple of weeks ago

Excellent video!

I played so many more handheld versions of Lego games on my 3DS than the console versions and I remember being so disappointed that there wasn't just a console that could play the console versions on the go. The Switch was announced a few years later lmao.

As a kid my faimly only bought me Lego games for the ds so i played them all a bunch and they have a special place in my heart

I always used to play Lego Lotr on my 3DS, and I just now found out that it’s on the PS3, and so much better on a console.

Ah yes finally someone makes a vid on my childhood

The DS version for Lego harry potter 1-4 can actually also use the D-pad for movement. It still isn't really that fun to play casually today, but it at least makes it more playable on DS lol. What I will say is that even though the Lego harry potter portable versions are quite boring in a casual playthrough, both 1-4 and 5-7 are actually really cool for speedruns. The European psp version of 1-4 had a developer tool left in where you can just fly around anywhere if you press the select button, which means that most of the boring sections of the game can be skipped, and 5-7 on the DS has an infinite jump glitch, as well as developer objects which end the level early, which means that most of the game other than the duels can be skipped completely. It's kind of weird how 2 games that were both fairly boring in a casual playthrough could both lead to interesting speedruns, and also that both of them have a way to essentially just fly around the levels

One thing i like most about the ds version of lego Indiana jones, is the art style. The art work in the environment really blends and complements the lego objects in the game, but in on console like the ninjago movie game it just has way to realistic of a world with lego build that just looks out of place.

I played Lego Harry Potter, Lego Indiana Jones 2 and Lego Star wars III growing up on the DS and I definitely must've forgotten a lot of things or didn't play through all the levels because I don't necessarily remember a lot from Lego Indiana Jones 2 based on the footage in his video. I do remember getting frustrated with Lego Star Wars III because the game would either crash and or I lost my save file multiple times but I'm willing to bet that this was because I was playing that game through a flash card instead of buying it. That aside I recall enjoying my time with the game and I eventually got the console version but didn't really like it as much as the DS version largely because I didn't know how to progress in some of the levels.

I usted to play the handhelds versions, the only console Game I knew was the first LEGO Star Wars, so I didn't saw the difference in the portable versions, they were so complete. Then, Marvel Super Heroes appeared and, fortunately, I saw a gameplay from the Xbox One version, and when I played it on My 3ds, damn, that was My last portable LEGO Game. Now I'm rediscovering the console versions from the first games, and they are great, but also the handhelds ones, and those are more special for me because I was able to play everywhere when I was a child. Sorry if my English is not really good, I'm mexican XD

Hi, I'm from Brazil... Your review is very cool man :)

Just saying this before I watch the video and because I read the pinned comment, I loved Lego Marvel Super Heroes Universe in Peril because of how broken it was. It was so fun to mess around, especially with the bosses

I loved Harry Potter 1-4. I liked how it felt like you were actually going to class, and I don't know I just loved the gameplay too. I don't remember the touch pad being compulsorary for movement either.

I feel like the hand held consoles where the best age of consoles (not talking about the switch). Just the idea of pulling a ds out of your pocket and playing a video game seems so fun to me. Even though the ps and the xbox had more games and better graphics, the ds just gives a nostalgic feeling of taking it to school when you where younger.

Lego Batman for the ds are my childhood lego games and the reason i like Lego to begin with.

I loved LEGO Batman 1, Star Wars The Complete Saga, and Star Wars 3 on the DS. I own a 3DS now and I'm debating re-buying them all. Funnily enough I remember loving LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 as a kid. I'm not sure why.

One of my favorite childhood game was Lego Batman 2 on the DS

I had pirates of the carribeans and harry potter 5-7 on the ds. I didnt understand why the game wasnt like on ps3, but i still had a blast

i saw this video and thought oh this might be a lego youtuber i just never heard of THEN I LOOK AT THE SUBS AND JUST WENT DANG ONLY 131 SUBS

U earned a sub homie great video

Lego harry potter years 1-4 was probably the 1st game i ever completed to 100%, I remember losing my stylus so many times, I remember using a PRETZEL as a stylus for one day. Good times.

I had the Indiana Jones game on the ds but I could never figure out how to go past the level in the suburb area, nor how to capture the monkey to unlock more of the open world

sick ass video man, you should talk about some of the flip-phone/j2me ports!!

I actually grew up with more of these ones than their console counterpart, I remember finishing Pirates in one sitting overnight. I would like to play indy 2 again but I miss placed my copy.

My favorite Lego handheld game is Lego Lotr. It was my childhood
