[19Vexthehedgehog91]

The Gameboy was my first video game console and it came with Mario land 1 and 2

[VidGamezInc]

holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shiiiiiiiiit tron!!!!

[Iambenjoz]

Wake me up when it's over. ._. no offence but this guy isn't very intresting. D:

[themightychickens]

@Iambenjoz You're 15 years old dammit (according to your profile), you didn't grow up with Yokoi's amazing inventions, so of course it's boring to you.

I was freaking out when I got my first colourless Gameboy with Pókemon Blue, it was state of the art gaming.

[kinkkku]

@themightychickens I was already freaking out when i got my brand new commodore 64. Later i got Game & watch that had donkey kong game on it. And damn i freaked out when i heard they had released a new tetris game on game boy in '89. It was really hard to get those games since then, mostly because i was only around 10 years old, but also because game boys weren't sold like in every store like nowadays. :/ I miss those games so much :/

[themightychickens]

@kinkkku I know it's not the same, but there are countless console emulators out there with most 80's and 90's games working like charms. You know, for nostalgia's sake.

[kinkkku]

@themightychickens Yeah i've played older games on emulators but it doesn't feel the same when you play with keyboard :)

[Iambenjoz]

@themightychickens I said the guy isn't interesting not what he's talking about. -_-

[themightychickens]

@Iambenjoz He's being informative, not entertaining.

[LeKayProducts]

@Iambenjoz You're 15, so I doubt you even knew half of the things he mention, existed. Now go back to your ps3 and cry. tyvm

[Iambenjoz]

@LeKayProducts I don't play PS3. And I'm not immature like you so I'm not going to cry.

[LeKayProducts]

@Iambenjoz Hell you don't even pay your own bills, so you're "i'm-more-mature-then-everyone­-else" point is invalid :)

[Iambenjoz]

@LeKayProducts Immature in the sense of your behavior, it's not acceptable.

[Iambenjoz]

@LeKayProducts And I never said I'm mature then everyone else? Where did you get that from?

[hvalrosshelvete]

MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR  !!!!!!!

[DrPuzz1ed]

You Should do the N64 DD (Disk Drive)!

[Jon12150]

I had a gameboy light in the US :)

[oiChromezx]

wow the game and watch were probably my first gaming related thing that i held

[zakuraRabbit]

I remember the good old Game Boy. One of my relatives had one and I remember clearly having huge problems seeing it without having any direct light XD

[shadetheman117]

AVGN has all retro hardware. more then this guy

[nickrules2299]

wow man, the first time i have watched your videos (thanks to yogscast) and its very very interesting!! :)

[99Sketches]

[michealman08]

[portal2ethan]

[007mano1]

[NUXX0RZ]

[markopolo13245]

[broodjekaas13]

1:54

DS much

[Wussup8000]

So HE was the one who made the Virtual Boy, if he didn't make the Gameboy I would track him down just to punch him in the face.

[labelbuddyz]

thumbs up if you came from yogscast!!

[disgaeachic]

@labelbuddyz

Big props to Simon and Lewis for pointing the way to this series. A new fav.

[poofwithmuscles]

I find this very easy to masturbate to.

Love the videos! Glad to see someone who loves gaming as much as I! You're brilliant.

[No1ShotWhat]

gameboy ftw!



[MrCooljob6]

my first gaming device was a gameboy. I played it once, it was fucking boring. Then I went on to Playstation, then PS2. I found that system to be boring, so I went to Xbox360 & tadaa I'v found my ultimate gaming device! :0

[GMFreaq]

I love how the comment section of this video is filled with "I'm glad the Yogscast sent me here" instead of "thumbs up if the yogscast sent me here". It really shows that this man's channel is worth the publicity he has received. Great job, TGS. -Subscribe-

[Spencercw0wns]

You sir, have earned this subscription.

[Sapphireoath]

Wow, how far Nintendo has come. From a simple Playing Card company (that started in late 1889), to one of the 3 main leaders in the video gaming industry.

I never knew much about the history of Nintendo, till this video got me curious ;o

[9MinamiKe6]

Original EarthBound box.

I am amazed.

[bradhuygens]

you got awesome collections. I am glad the Yogscasts showed us your channel!

[theAmdisen391]

i learned something! what has youtube done to me!

[007mano1]

you are missing the cbs electronics with looping, toetanchamon and....

[Mrgameproof]

Where do you buy all of thi Shit

[6NoHope9]

@Mrgameproof

over the years just buy them as they are released in stores.

Since I was 1 year old I have been getting the latest consoles when they came out and I now have about 15 consoles. My first one was the NES and my 2nd was the original black and white Gameboy at 3:34, but mine was black not grey.

[PindDaJatt]

I can't focus on Yogscast, not with 502 episodes of this channel to catch up on DX

[MeesterMan00]

awesome

[dostacado]

thanks for the information on the gameboy, have had one for a long time now but never really knew much about it, other than i was pretty sick at mortal kombat and tetris

[BIGBLACKBEEFYBALLS]

so glad the yogscast sent me here, these are legit vids

[Xcelorate]

@BIGBLACKBEEFYBALLS hell ya this guy spent lots of money and has alot of famous/sell-able/collect-able consoles or games how he got these... unexplained :P ha ha anyway these games/consoles are very valuable i wouldnt sell them i would keep them for a long time and i would look at all my games and consoles and laugh and say omg! i remember when i got that one :P and i would pick them up and always clean them. if i was him. now IM GOING TO EBAY! in hope i can also collect these awesome rad games

[xtremenator2]

I find it weird how he is so active in the intro of the show, but as soon as it gets into the actual speaking part he is kind of shy =p

[Ironmann199]

gameboy O_O

[lolagenation]

1:54 OMG A DS

[ShooterStarz]

I'm only 15, but I remember when I was growing up, and my mate had a gameboy, one of the originals, I thought they were amazing, and got one myself, and we'd play them hours and hours on end, sitting next to the window, for the light ;D Good times :D

[riggsae]

Do an episode on ColecoVision please!

[gamegod97]

I'd like to see this guy meet the angry video game nerd.

[Greeneflower]

How did I already know all this? ;;

[acdcfreakouter]

Yokoi, the guru of gaming? Quite possibly!

[Imhereforyogscast]

i used to have the special edition pokemon gameboy color that change colors in the light so fucking awesome but i had to sell it that was a sad day



[mcatanoso1]

Hot damn, those Game & Watch units bring back memories. I had Boxing, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros and Zelda when I was little.

[A7XN1ghtmar3]

Is there any way of subscribing just to retro hardware?

[TheJFNewman]

[zookeeper1991]

oh man i used to have a gameboy light!good memories! :)

[evanbanjo]

Wonderswan next? :)

[goldenmage]

Loved this. I get such a nostalgia-rush when I hear the startup sound of the original gameboy. I had one of the big fat things, but I loved it to death (literally, up until it had an unfortunate accident).

I remember staying up and trying to prop up a flashlight under my covers, just to beat pokemon, super mario land, and so many others....

such good times...

[MultiMandarijn]

@goldenmage Yeah damn, playing pokémon with my buddies, trading with each other good times mate.

[Scat495]

11 people are awkwardly listening to their iPads by cradling it in their arms

[TheDiscoFrost]

Do SNES! Super Punch Out FTW

[Anemez]

do you have the donkey kong one :o

[Yeevle]

I love all the old consoles ang gadgets. They were so experimental for the time. Makes the new stuff seem really boring if you think about it.

[DarKingBoo98]

Can you do a Review of the Magnovox Odyssey?

Or Atari 5200? It will be worth it!! Thanks ;)

[MrBugsyD]

im deffinetly glad i clicked this. very imformative and i like it keep up the good work buddy :D

[SuperTerminatorT1000]

this is like a more boring and mutch more informative version for angry video game nerd

[StarcraftNational]

DavidSoComedy? :o

[TomasWille]

Only different looks and support difference of PAL and NTSC

[j1pe]

What is the differences of an NES European version and a NES American version?

[FC360D]

Yay Gameboy I got a a gameboy as a birthday present and still have some of the original games I had on it, In fact I think I still have the original game that I got with it.

[Barnz1980]

U got so much cool old gaming stuff, start a museum dude.

[itswhatshisface12321]

[OnlyUseMaTomahawk10]

[KipprSC]

Congratulations of 500 Videos!

[bret4o9]

[dldytjq1024]

the picture,,,,i thought it was Davidsocomedy....

disappointed...

[Cozash]

Does it look familiar? *shows us a DS*

... not at all

[Nickmorama]

Is it freddiew???

[CrafterBox]

@Nickmorama lol but no

[wiredboy27]

LOL, not one mention in the comments or video about how he was murdered. I mean you're driving along and get hit by a car, then when you go out to check what happened another car instantly hits and kills you. Then, despite being a very famous figure no investigation is ever conducted and no-one is ever charged. To this day Japanese police have never released, well, anything. Read the kotaku article for more.

[trollkarl3]

Do Super Nintendo!

[MCashing]

Boom, get the nerdy retro hardware thingys, everybody gonna like it :P

[GnRclanTV]

@TheGameStation Lol, LET THE VIEWS COME IN! YOGSCAST LIKED THE VIDEO! XD Grats mate

[jagdbird]

Asian Video Game Nerd

[X8802]

Less talk, more hardware.

[wallfw]

Great ep :)

[Hellobob1997]

That was very interesting and nice to know. Thank you very much. Best of luck.

[Andreazor]

I had a gameboy once, it was huge and black. I still have one or two games to it loitering around I think.

[ThePrimeMarc]

Retro - you scary...

[xReldrik]

[fpsquake]

You should meet Athenes brother.

[MrYorkshireFella]

ASIANS + RETRO GAMES = EPICNESS

[ericgui89]

I used to play my gameboy with a flashlight when there wasnt sunlight.
