It's too bad that creating a DS out of paper wouldn't really work like this -- then we'd all have a lot more money in our pockets. Our hats definitely go off to you tuber and deviant artist Zikayn, though, for making this awesome video. While we've seen similar stuff before, we haven't seen anything with as much polish as this. We can't be sure how long these kind of animations take to create, having no artistic bones to speak of, but we imagine that it wasn't just a quick endeavor.
I find it interesting how this video was inspired by Mini-Bash's (nickname for Brian "Bashcraft" Ashcraft's son) desire to have a black DS Lite (since the only one they have at home is a pink one).
It's even more amusing how Mini-Bash responded to the video:

yeah that woulda taken quite a while
first theres the actual animation, which is all frame by frame.
looked like it might have been in flash too
but the hard part would be getting it all to be in synch with the movement of the piece of paper, thats some nice after effects skills there. :)

Yeah, it looks like the "game" was animated in Flash, and layered on top of the video of him "playing" the Paper DS. Very cool, still.

Reminds me of this one, done with all paper and not benefits of animation.
