History of the Game Boy - A 20th Anniversary Feature

[atomsmasher13]

Can someone tell me what the background song that starts at 1:14 is? I think its from Pokemon Red/Blue but what is the song?

[Snotnarok]

Screw Pokemon, they showed Summon Night!

[AIndoria]

I never had a GBA or a DS Lite. My first handheld was a DSi. I am still wondering if I should get a GBA just to play those Gameboy games.

[justwatching2008]

wtf did i watch? 4:13

[Snotnarok]

@justwatching2008 That looked like some girl turning into some multilimbed pokemon :|

[Trolleatingpankakes]

I want a 3ds sooo bad because of pokemon

[TheEpicDuckeh]

Im 12 and i have a Gameboy original and a Gameboy color. Not the best thing i own but it comes to a close second behind my Xbox360

[JenovaDoll]

Ah the 90s

[starshiningbright102]

My first Gameboy was GB Color. My first game was Pokemon yellow, I think...

[layzee510]

nintendo should just make a new gameboy

[the9thinning1]

@layzee510 no need for that with the 3DS VC

[layzee510]

@the9thinning1 still, i miss gameboy ;(

[the9thinning1]

@layzee510 agreed. GBA my first handheld. ;(

[brawler023]

go pokemon!

[lestert03]

i still have my gameboy color from when i was 5 now i am 16 and it still works

[AlexTylerNestor]

My best friend Harris LOVED Pokemon (also Star Wars and Bakugan), but eventually he got into Halo. P.S. TETRIS ROCKS!!!!!

[TheEliteCHN]

they should do a gameboy 2012 and have the best graphic and hardware.

[westhamhaz]

@TheEliteCHN did you not learn anything from what you just watched? the gameboy was great despite having outdated hardware, that was the moral of the story kids

[sweetdrums295]

@TheEliteCHN Gameboys were more about the fun of the games, not visuals

[ShortFingeredShreder]

I think I have the record for most Gameboys broken. I probably broke over a dozen or so because I got too into my games and threw them when I lost.

[DoubleMGames]

4:59

:D summon night sword craft story

MI CHILDHOOD!!

[lordzilu1584]

I stole my parents' money to buy Gameboy when I was a kid, good old days

[ZheTecXero]

Never was a Nintendo fan, still waiting for the Game Gear 2 '>.>

[robloxcoasterforce]

i got game boy sd

[JM94FL]

Reminds me of the good ol' times when I took Pokemon Blue seriously. Still play it from time to time. I need a DS.

[gguru1]

WHY THE FUCK did they choose this Pokémon transformation fetish fanart to represent Pokémon?

[lylatfox4]

@gguru1

I have no idea lol

[crazybeyblademan]

did you see the slutty Pokemon photo at 4:13

[luckylu9]

i remember when i was little mt parents got me the gameboy for my birthday i stayed up all night wondering if i was gonna get it and i was like the coolest kid in school the day after i received my gameboy. soon after i got caught with it and the principal took it away but i got it back when my parents were called to the school.

[ligerandlyle2]

[StickGuy1994]

Guy at school playing a Gameboy Color:

People standing behind him watching

Me at school playing Gameboy Advance:

"(sarcastically) So, you're playing the latest game, huh?"

-_- ...wtf

[StarwindAmada20]

The Micro didn't fail because of a lack of appeal, it failed because the DS was already out and could play GBA games.

[whotaughtyou]

SAFECRACKER NICK CLEGG ASTRO AGENT

[cokecoladrinker96]

Game Boy Micro: The Tragic Story.

[nippenappe1468]

i gonna buy a gameboy advance sp so is that great hand console??

[bentep0511]

@nippenappe1468 you meant "hand held" and yes it is very good, one if the best if I may add. If you're going to buy a GBA SP, I suggest you get Golden Sun both 1 & 2, Pokemon series, Mario 3 yoshi's island, megamanzero series and megaman battle network series :)

[nippenappe1468]

why tetris theme song is going when they moved up mario?

[Brian25sx]

I had every single gameboy after the advance sp i stop gettin them like every year form i was 7 had the 1st gen then pocket then color then advance then sp that stop i still like gameboy games but some of the games they have out not are not like it used to

[Cyzzroxx]

Thumbs up for a new game boy

[Aafat12345678]

[blaCops99]

why is my gameboy color unboxing video there?!

[TheMr360elite]

I fpond a working gameboy that had the serial number 001, If it is the first one, how much would it be worth?

[Aznganxter1]

nothing as it was mass produced, but you might have someone willing to buy it.

[DarthSchwartz]

i have a micro vision :)

[superpoop899]

Wished GameBoy was still in production. Thumbs up so Miyamoto, Reggie, and the creator of GameBoy can see this in the tops.

[Blademaster582]

DS LITE

WHY U NO PLAY MY GAME BOY GAMES?

[Blademaster582]

Well I just lost The Game for today. Btw I actually lost my original Game Boy. Ironic, isn't it?

[TrollPolicePatroll]

i have a felling in the future , they'll make a new game boy

[TAC6447]

cant wait for the gameboy advanced 3d

[jimbobhk2009]

i remember getting a gameboy advance when it was really popular and there was no PSP or nintendo DS, i remember playing such awesome games. we are so spoiled these days

[alman9ouri]

cool

[Zachandhisdicky47101]

I got gameboy advance SP

[iBBean]

This makes me want to buy a gameboy color and play some pokemon red,blue and yellow good old time :D

[Platitudinous9000]

Tetris must be ported to the 3DSs Virtual Console.

[scompieie]

you wanna know something? i sold my ds for a game boy sp

[scompieie]

lol the handy

[ultimatevideogamer01]

DONT YOU THINK NINTENDO SHOULD MAKE A NEW GAMEBOY?IF YOU DOU THEN COPY AND PASTE THIS TO EVERY NINTENDO VIDEO!ALSO PRESS LIKE SO IT CAN BE ON TOP OF THE SCREEN SO NINTENDO CAN SEE IT.

[evilchao25]

I got mine for christmas with spiderman 2, then mario 3 remake.

[evilchao25]

I have a gbasp.

[evilchao25]

I grew up with this. =D

[Nicksolo85]

Played DS & played PSP but they don't compare to Game Boy.

Then again, I grew up during the era of the original Game Boy.

I did also have a Game Boy Color, a Game Boy Advance & a Game Boy Advance SP (still have it like my original red Game Boy).

As for the whole Game Boy Advance was like a portable Super Nintendo? Yeah I'm gonna say that Super Nintendo itself was a better console than Game Boy Advance (especially when it comes to games from SNES re-released to GBA).

[RoShAnOWNEDyou]

I am gonna get a gameboy classic with 5 games and a backlight tool for only 15 euros :) I am happy :P

[dainswfc9]

Links awakening dx my first and favorite zelda game. Also im a little obsessed with pokemon i bought a gamecube just for the 2 pokemon games on there and even though im 15 i still had a gameboy colour but i had just 5 games (3 pokemon 2 zelda lol)

[gtafanboy32]

next time nintendo should come out with gameboy ds :D

[lisvender]

The GBASP is still my favorite handheld.

[q0zi]

This guy's voice is too low, lol.

[TheMrminimario]

I got all those :D except the extra gameboy things, like Micro and Pocket (got Color :P )

[legendofmario64]

I'm 13 I have an iPod touch,a ds lite,and a 3ds and I still play my gameboy sp I don't care what everyone at school says the gameboy is better than the psp, psp go, and playstation vita combined

[nerf9560]

GAMEBOY 3D

[nerf9560]

Gameboy was better than gamegear



[shadow479]

those were the times...

[Johfunu]

I remember getting the Gameboy at xmas...good times. I got Super Mario, Tetris and Kirby.

[aboodaljeri]

i think that without gameboy they wont be something now called ds or wii or even psp !!!

[Mr5p00ky9h05t]

the ds is to advanced

[ViralVideoDJ]

@Mr5p00ky9h05t h

[adonis4441]

Xd

[arinasasa]

okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Boysvsminecraft]

I have a ds a iPod a wii and I still play my game boy advance sp so. Even so I don't care what they say at school I still play because the games are way more fun the most apps on a iPod and the game.

[nippenappe1468]

@Boysvsminecraft thats true

[MultiPenile]

Gameboy called "handy" lol

[bored5523]

He is so right about tetris! I love that game and it's soo addicting for me! One of my al time favorite games of all time righ next to pokemon of course

[ExecuteRobot]

Thumbs up if you love the Virtual Boy too!

[giggleblaggle]

This is a great video!

[RuthlessG]

I wonder how drunkk the GameBoy gott...

[vahnfish]

[davdav254]

Gay boy. xD

[ViralVideoDJ]

[+[__]:]



[maximum1able]

@didayone u should get the gameboy pocket with tetris and super mario land two amazing and great gameboy games

[Leishmaniasisably]

3:24 WTF? The Genesis was the "cool kid" syste- *listens to end of sentence* oh that makes sense.

[1legomaster]

I think they should scrap the 3DS and make a new Gameboy series. They should call it "The Gameboy UDS" (UDS stands for Updated Series). Thumbs up so Nintendo may get the idea of making a new generation Gameboy!

[sh9683]

you guys forgot to mention donkey kong, it too had a big part in saving nitendo

[SR111ify]

I WAS BORN ON JULY 31ST!!!!!!! 

[dedpxl]

lol the DS has outsold the Gameboy after this video was made. (not counting 3DS sales even.)

[MrHotrod68]

forget the ds THEY NEED TO MAKE ANOTHER GAMEBOY

[Skelpolu]

@MrHotrod68 The DS, Double-Screen, is not a gameboy anymore.

[russell56443]

I love my Gameboy's which I have pretty much all of them(Just got theSpecial Pikachu Color for $3.00 with a Star wars game at a yard sale)!

Im way late in the game but the announcer wasnt lying when he said Pokemon is like Crack LOL!

I never even tried a Pokemon game until last month and now own Red,Blue,Yellow,Gold,Silver,So­ul Silver and White!

Cant put it down,Guess Im Hooked LOL!!!!!

[SuperJorgiano]

Respect for the game boy

[TheFilnizer]

1:13 looks like pokemons are molesting her..

[stormtroopernl]

and still loving it

[m00ph00]

there's no way i am gonna sit through a 30-second ad. opening up firefox now

[dedpxl]

@m00ph00 dude, install adblock. I never get ads on youtube.

[m00ph00]

@dedpxl hence why i "opened up firefox"

[sh9683]

@dedpxl i installed adblock it did me nothing

[Wormfan100]

On 5:48 it looks like a real Metroid prime

Game whare you can lock on enemy's and not Metroid prime hunters

[thirtyoneuniform]

"hey, levi here." ...uh, hi levi.  am i supposed to know you?

[Empire6313]

Der DS ist doch scheiße. Der Gameboy hat wenigstens noch was ausgehalten:D

[smackingdaface]

lol pokeporn 4:15

[DAN5675able]

I still remember back in 2002 when I got my game boy color everything thought it was awesome until the game boy sp came out.

[aworldofcake]

does anyone know what the game at 4:58 is?? it looks nice!

[didayone]

Well, I need help. I really feel like going back to the classics, and feel like playing pokemon...

I need help on deciding which gameboy to get; the Original Gameboy, or Gameboy Color? I really feel like playing the old pokemon games, such as Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Crystal, etc.

And also, just in case I start getting bored with pokemon, can you guys help me decide which Gameboy I should get based on the games it has?

[howardalexrice]

@didayone buy a cheap original color. and then buy the sp. you cant go wrong. 

[TheLinkinpark2035]

My gameboy advance sp is broken the light button does not work

[Sinfulgaiden]

pokemon was crack for kids,

and still is.

[DARKSHADEDX]

So why did they show ShinyGold clips?

Zel wouldn't really be too happy about that..

[iszalgocomin]

@DARKSHADEDX Why not? It was an obvious mistake and Zel doesnt have any rights to say no to them showing it.

[DARKSHADEDX]

@iszalgocomin He does not, however, he doesn't like it being put forward as if it were a cartridged game.

They could've used FireRed but they went with ShinyGold?

Bit of a strange decision..

[TheCrimsonRift]

I miss the gameboy :l

[BloodySawBlade]

All of the other hand-held gaming devices that came before and during the gameboy era were pieces of shit, and to this day, are and will always be pieces of shit. Microvision...PFFT! Who in the fuck would own a shit hand-held that looks like a TV remote? Not me!

[fafafak6]

guys watch 3:47

than go here /watch?v=lLh3m5lwwc8&feature=r­elated#

[Johnnymushio]

@fafafak6 Than?

[MrKuwaitwolf]

nothing can beat the gba sp! it works on ever game from the gameboy era, gameboy color eram and the original advance

[Greenlee07]

What about Gameboy advance sp it gave a light so we didn't need to play them in the sun or with the light on and you could even change the brightness of it

[ThePokePumkin]

the gamboy is the portable SNES and the super nintendo is the father of all video games . . . . . enough said . . . .

[MrHotrod68]

@ThePokePumkin

yea i know my childhood :)

[IcePalaceIsIcey]

Did you know the Game Boy Light was only released in Japan in 1998 and only 500 copies were sold?

[billmonster6]

ign couldve been sued cuz they stole a part of someones vid. look at 3:47. then go to this video /watch?v=lLh3m5lwwc8&feature=r­elated . now look at the exact copy of the part of video. the vid i posted a link of was made 2008. then ign made this video on 2009. ok now scroll in the comments of the video i posted a link of. He/She did not know about this happening till someone told him. IGN you are lucky as fuck that u didnt get sued :P

[robbiekhan66]

hope ign does a nintendo ds 10th anniversary video!!

[Afronic12]

I want a color really bad

[Puertoricanlegacy]

@Afronic12 then buy one.

[MSGSlayer1]

The best handheld I've never owned.  I've mooched every version of Game Boy off my friends except the GBP and Micro.

[eliop15]

the handy :P

[DarkWolfX27]

Forget PSP and Nuntendo DS I really do miss my Old gameboy and playing my favorite game when I get out of school like super Mario Land, Kirby, Zelda Tetris and Pokemon Red,Blue,Green and Yellow. I also miss using the old link Cable to trade pokemon and battle with my friends.

[DeadlyAcorn64]

Ash... Old gameboy pocket memory's with Pokemon.

[metakight4]

My first gameboy I've ever had was the gameboy color the teal one and I still have it :)

[TrapnestShinigami]

A more powerfull system failing against a Nintendo portable.... Hm... sounds like fammiliar...

Oh!... yeah, the PSP and the DS

[dbzandrs2]

@TrapnestShinigami but they both failed for a reason. Nintendo had better game selection.

[jesterofdimensionz]

fck ign

[NintendoGuy128]

[NintendoGuy128]

[Gamer00719]

[NintendoGuy128]

@Gamer00719 Thanks, but I already chose Pokemon Gold. I'll get that next :)

[007psyren]

go gameboy

[interagreed]

ds is pretty much a gameboy

[ZeroHikari669]

i can hear pokemon in the background! i think thats why everyone got a gameboy...

[MarcoNintendoNerd]

those mini arcades look so sick

[TrueGhost100]

4:14 anime porn xD

[sheep41]

the gameboy changed my life. It allowed me to become the only thing I wanted to be.... A pokemon master!

[gunninlinguist]

Nintendo were originally planning to continue the Game Boy line with the Game Boy 64, but they decided to destroy and rebuild with the DS. The Game Boy Original was the only console to completely dominate a market for 8 uninterrupted years. Quite an achievement considering it was criticised as old tech pretty much as soon as it came out, let alone in 96, when Pokemon came out of nowhere and resurrected the Game Boy, paving the way for the Game Boy Colour.

[popolynn2]

>game boy looks bland

WHAT!?

[iErockCast]

RIP Gunpei Yokoi

[jonesman49]

Love the original gameboy, I remember playing Tecmo Bowl for so long it exploded inside a little bit then smoke came out. I blew the smoke away and put in new batteries and shrugged it off. could be worse. the good old days. Bring back alot of memories.

[spacepolic29]

My aunt has the original gameboy with one game: Tetris. I love my aunt's house

[mareeo64]

5:53 beta mario 64 ds scene

[chronotriggerfan]

If Nintendo knew the GameBoy was getting dated and were going to introduce the DS as a third pillar of their business structure, you've gotta wonder what the next GameBoy was gonna be, 'cause you know they were working on it. The world will never know. :(

[PhazonOmega]

I never thought of Pokemon as so key to Gameboy. In fact, my impression was that it came in towards the end of the Gameboy, and the beginning of the Gameboy Color, aka the second generation Gameboy. And I had always wanted a Gameboy and enjoyed so many other games on it besides Pokemon. So I guess what I'm saying is that Pokemon was a big franchise for Nintendo, but it isn't synonymous with Gameboy since there was so much more to the handheld system.

[34547A]

Without gameboy there is nothing.

[GameOSTz2]

I still have an original gameboy. Still works too :)

[swirkass]

it really suc now that theyre not making any more game boy =/ ever since gameboycolor / pokemon came out, i play it like 24/7 nonstop lol good time =P maybe in the future theyll make a future game boy or somethin somethin better than the ds =) lol

[akasagi94]

WTF? they used an ecchi picture of Pokémon found on Google and images from an pirate/hack game (Pokémon ShinyGold) to demonstrate Pokémon???

[BoulderBorder]

Ahh... Memories

[MegaSlickdude]

gba rules,super mario advance 2.4 forever! ds counts,wonder how much a gba costs now?! hope they still have that 20th annivsery mario gameboy!

[sqdmarcos]

thumb if you have a gba :D
