The Nintendo DSi launched in Japan in late 2008 and worldwide in 2009 as a camera-equipped revision of the Nintendo DS. Its short boot jingle comes straight from the system's firmware and played every time the handheld powered on. As the DSi generation grew up, the sound became a shorthand for late-2000s handheld nostalgia on YouTube and TikTok, popping up in retro tech videos, meme edits and 'POV: it's 2010' posts. Creators keep using it because it instantly signals childhood gaming without a single word.

The classic Nintendo DSi startup chime with its soft synth notes and camera click. Fans use it for nostalgia edits, retro gaming intros and handheld memes.
This is the startup sound played when a Nintendo DSi powers on. It opens with a clean, bright synth chime that rises in two gentle notes, followed by a soft camera-style click as the system menu fades in. The tone is calm and playful, very Nintendo, with no voice or harsh effects. For anyone who owned the handheld in the late 2000s, it instantly brings back memories of swapping cartridges, tweaking brightness in the settings, and hearing that little jingle before a long car ride of Mario Kart or Pokemon.
