Game Boy Color Debut Commercial

[YodatheJedi12]

I remember seeing this on TV! Oh that was such a long time ago... :/

[Snivery]

When Sega saw this, they were like" Dammit, Were done for!"

[TheYTmagic]

I remember christmas when i was 3 :) i got my game boy colour , transparent purple. God, that was the best day of my life. I still love that thing, i would never sell it for any sum if money. The sentimental value is far too great.

[00samee00]

This came out a year before I existed. Gotta relive the memories that I couldn't back then.

[TERMINATORMAN1000]

I used to have a clear gameboy color

But then I took an arrow to the knee....

No but seriously my dad gave it away with out my promission when I got my ds. :(

[M200XL]

My god I was so disappointed when I got that. I was thinking it was gonna colorize all the original gb games

[RixdorferWurstmusik]

Radical!

[DixieHB]

Soothing man voice at the end = CREEEEPYYYY

[Tailsrulez3]

I know that boy grown now.

[1legomaster]

Ahhh.... I remember this commercial being aired :)

[FireFire273]

I just ordered a Berry Red Game Boy Color A Few Hours AGO!!! :)

[posztoka]

@FireFire273 Cool! :) I have a DS but still wish I had a GBC ...

[lokks707]

Recently found mine inside a lunch box in the garage. Surprised to find that it was in excellent shape. Also found my old SNES controllers. About 18 years ago, I placed small labels on the controllers and wrote on the labels "Player 1" and "Player 2". They still have the labels on them with my writing from 18 years ago lol

[nintendochickkkkkkkk]

cool

[jacoboscar79]

0:18 lllllllllllooooooooooollllllll­ll..... GET A JOB

[noahlankford1]

I had the special edition silver/gold gameboy with the pikachu power indicator, i got it with pokemon silver and is now worth close to 800 dollars. I sold it last year at a yard sale for 5 bucks. feelsbadman.jpg

[BboySlayerX]

@noahlankford1 OMFG FYL

[MistahFAY324]

[CallinWire]

Does anyone know what the game after tetris is?

[75chris7]

@CallinWire Game and watch Gallery 2 I believe.

[jpsplat]

@CallinWire It's one of the game and watch galleries I think

[WKRPinCINN]

wow, apparently game boy color helps you to escape the horrors of becoming an adult.

[dkong1994]

I still play my Gameboy stuff on the Super Gameboy. Man, I love that thing!

[mrfreeze709]

@dkong1994 thats cause game boy colors are better then any new system fuck ps3 and xbox im playing GBC! hahah

[dkong1994]

@mrfreeze709 I wouldn't say anything bad about the ps3 because I play it every now and then. Except the damn thing broke on me three times! I love the old nintendo and game boy games because they are still enjoyable even after 20 years. Also none of my nintendo systems broke not even once! One of the good things about the gameboy color is the fact that it's got it's own games plus you can also play the classics.

[mrfreeze709]

@dkong1994 true true, i have never had a problem with any of my older generation systems, the only problem i had was that the fucking battery cover on my gbc broke off hahah

[Morgil27]

Ahh, purple.

[NowKillYourself]

I remember this commercial when I was 13 years old. This came out in 1998.

[Lykaon01]

LOOL... 0:16 "Get a job!" And the Game Boy is here to rescue you from the shame. xD

[beaver10777]

shit just got real

[SlythR45]

I have the yellow one

[Joemamma69000]

@BAWK0 what?

[GarrettGuitarist18]

[vlad75019]

I have the purple transparent one :D

[puFFySnOwbaLl]

@vlad75019 so do i

[gumgum99]

I remember this! ^_^

[tippytop7]

CLASSIC!

[Joemamma69000]

The U.S game boy lite commercial would have been the kid walking around in a dark world, only to see a huge light, revealing that it was a game boy lite.

[maalblade]

"Get a Job!" "No, You've got a gameboy now!"

[hotrat99]

pokemon red green blue silver gold yellow and crystal



[poopybooyah]

good bye gloomy monochrome

[dragonpaw101]

OMG EVIL DENTIST

[ninjaaaaasplat]

@dragonpaw101 Is there any other kind? ZING!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

The era of the creamed spinach color drew to a close, and thus, a rainbow of colors was introduced to the masses.

[zeldafreak701]

I saw this commercial during the Fairly Odd Parents. How random that I remember that.

[thesite]

Woah I saw the watermark for The Box at the beginning Oh childhood

[thesite]

Woah I saw the watermark for The Box at the beginning. Oh childhood

[MegaWolfLover99]

My friend let me borrow her GBC it was her brothers and I think the blue is much cooler she has the purple one

[TheAmazingMirror]

@CaptainPoovabladoo oh cool

[TheAmazingMirror]

@CaptainPoovabladoo well maybe some people waited then >.> I would have waited a month for a different color. Purple sux lol

[TheAmazingMirror]

why did everyone get the Atmoic Purple? i have lime green. It's awesome...noone liked berry or yellow...all the ones in the commercials...monkey has, monkey sees, monkey wants..

[TheAmazingMirror]

We wanted the Gameboy Lite!!!! "We didn't think it would sell well" Well it would've...but no Japan had to keep it's glory unheard of and boxed away-IN JAPAN!?!? Why ya gotta go ad get all the good stuff Japan....?

[luno44]

Were the random people representing games? Is there a dentist game? WTF?

[Wobuffet3]

the game boy color

able to save you from any threat

[WhamBamJam98]

wow it's amazing what kind of commercials gaming companies made back than and then the boring ones we have now.

[doom1killer123]

i swear you guys are stupid

[missclueless31]

omg i miss my purple gameboy color!!!!!! i had pokemon blue version and red on it too :'(

[pirocallahan2]

this really makes me think... wtf happened to the world? i got the lime green gbc on christmas along with a vintage tetris and pokemon blue the 90's were the best time for everything, it was all just right, the perfect balance of analog and digital the best tv shows, the best music. its sad that my younger brother has to grow up in the shit that is the world today...

[carlosfcomen]

i have the gameboy color white transparent

[WIldFire979]

I remember when I was real young.. A friend and I had gameboys.. His was Green and mine was Purple.. I told him if you licked them.. they had the flavour of the colour they were.. and since Lime was his favourite he took to that rather quickly.. Haha.. Good times..

[jackedup447]

lol i remember seeing a yellow game boy, but we got a purple one

[bakuralover21]

The only thing I hated about the GameBoy Color was the fact that the screen was too damn dark. -_- Seriously, I thought it was just a technical issue at first until I had it switched out with another and ended up with the same result.

[Vector795]

WOW! Games in 4-bit display!

[Hariuka]

this so relates to gamer, On how life is just so annoying and hectic with the people who go "get a job" "my money bitch" and "YOU NEED TO FLOSS!!!!!!" and it says escape to a new world....like saying here is your slice of heaven my fellow gamer...enjoy for thou art worthy

[Raigeko13]

Ahhh.... The days when commercials had creativity... :)

[Arceusgamer14]

I remember that commercial when I was little!

[Dman761]

everyone i knew got purple, but i got the greenish blue one, it matched my Pikachu gameboy case. (although everyone called it a purse)

[whatnottobe]

@Dman761 i got purple, lost it, got a green blue one now.

[8alih]

@Dman761 i had a yellow, never met any one with another yellow but yeah most had purple followed by the turquoise sort of one

good times man, great little system

[MrDynamoJoe]

@8alih I had a yellow! Got mine bundled with Pokemon Yellow as well. Then again, I owned every iteration of Game Boy at some point or another.

[alexchrisccc]

ugh you needed to sit under a light to see the color otherwise teh screen was too dark xDD i had the light and case and everything for it!! xDD

[Amsjrs12603]

I got my indigo gameboycolor on craig's list.

[freshPrincess626]

geez, i REALLY do remember this commercial. and the clear purple one, that's the one i got. :P

[dogeymon83]

Escape to a world of color....... assuming you don't already live in one.

[carmenfatfat]

when I saw the commerical for game boy color, I made my mind that I should have one when I was a little girl. I had the Atomic Purple that was in the commerical. THe year that I got my game boy colour, I also got Pokemon Red to play. Good Times. Now, I threw away the game boy I had for Nintendo DS Lite. Before having DS Lite, I had Advance SP.

[TheAmazingMirror]

@carmenfatfat u threw away!?!?!?! I traded my frikkin gameboy advanced for a Gameboy color. AND everyone said I got cheated....not when 2 weeks later it broke and I STILL HAVE MY GBC WORKING RIGHR NOW! Wish i still had yellow....one more reason to hate my brother...

[TheNewEmphinix]

lmao! The memories!

[stewie274]

I can't believe I still clearly remember this commercial. I had the teal one that I bought with my own money back when I was in elementary school.

[tehgewmbah]

Gameboy col--

[taranchula97]

Where's the mouth that says "GET INTO IT!!!!"

[youngfly44]

I had the clear purple one in the 6th grade lol.

[Basillikos]

I remember this commercial when it first started airing. Didn't really get a Game Boy until 1999 and with it came Pokemon Red.

Fuck year.

[freshPrincess626]

@Basillikos

my brother got the lime green and it came with Donkey Kong.

[MattTheSaiyan]

I was very excited when they released this handheld. It was like a dream come true.

[DaMetroidXterminator]

Was the original color purple?

[NCHammer326]

OH MY CHRIST I REMEMBER THIS

[2009TNT]

I remember when I first saw this commercial. My mind was pretty much blown.

[demonboy619]

[RobloxLegomania]

Holy shite! My gameboy can get me out of being hit by bullies, yelled at by teatchers, and have me avoid going to the dentist? Count me in!

[bluenowait]

I think I remember seeing a longer version of this at a movie theater.

[spider486]

[johneymute]

[doom1killer123]

@jonnyquestfan777 DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEERP!!! 

[Waltuo]

It's amazing how colorless those games seem at the end of this GameBoy Color ad:D This commercial doesn't really highlight the difference between old GameBoy and GameBoy Color too well, but it didn't stop the system from selling like hotcakes...

[crow33215]

I'm talking about the gameboy color not seta game gear :)

[Beck436]

Gameboy. Get away from the harsh reality of responsibility and play videogames...IN COLOUR!

[TheCommentsGuys]

Oh yeah I also still have the fucking lamp you plugged into it so you could see the screen. Anyone remember that.

[RsVidsCentral]

[TheCommentsGuys]

[ReesiePuffs64]

This played so many times when I was little that I've remembered it pretty well for all these years.

[gumgum99]

Among other things, I said " finally" ^_^

[Sk8erSpazz180]

haha i remember this commercial!

[PearlJammer07]

I remember this commercial vaguely.

[josaywut]

damn, i remember all these commercials. theyre more like acid trips though

[rania3830]

you in the 90's video game commercials were really creative and are classic now. nowadays video game companies don't even bother anymore.

[JJDXLP]

Sega must have been pissed when this released, since their only campaign for the Game Gear was mostly "OMG ITS IN COLOR GUISE!".

[xFLIPPAMANx]

thisold nintendo comercials are weird

[Vetuyasha]

Oh, no! Did Nintendo of America still released crappy commercials even at the GBC area? Geez!

[56wb56a]

i want one, when does it come out?

[joojoovokoroba]

lol

[joker0187]

[UltimateSmashers]

I still play my GBC Lol

It's the see through purple ones that you can see all the chips is gadgets inside Lol

[thecrazyalchemist]

because games in color rock!

[tryffel8]

This system felt old from day one. The grapics are still not as good as on the sega game gear realesed 8 years before and with no backlight, it was nothing that caught my intrest

[supermatx]

You do remember that you needed 6 batteries for just 5 fucking hours?Right?

[crow33215]

i needed two for five hours...=o

[supermatx]

Not according to Wikipedia.6 for 5 hours.

[crow33215]

[supermatx]

See the wikipedia article.

[crow33215]
