    Thanks for the video! There’s nothing better than sifting through old Gameboy games. I don’t live in Japan, but I always get really excited when I see Japanese Gameboy titles at my local retro game stores here in the states. One of my favorite ones I’ve found in the wild is Bomber King Scenario 2.

    Polished Crystal is my preferred way to play Gen 2. The Wonder Trading alone is just fun to do, and helps fill your Pokedex up without having to go manually hunt down everything. But in general, it's just a great hack. It's still Gen 2, but...better.

      I've gotten into collecting Japanese Gameboy games, partially because of their lower price and partially because the cartridge labels are just so much cooler. Link's Awakening is a great example of this. The international releases just have the logo on a plain background, but the Japanese version has a full illustration with all the major characters.

    Keep one original Gameboy that’s sentimental, then get one for cheap to mod the crap out of! That’s what I did. Kept my DMG original and put it in a display case. Then I got a used Gameboy Color off eBay and opened it up / cleaned it. New shell, brighter bigger screen, usb-battery, audio amp, etc.

    Great video, looking forward to another on the Gameboy. I’ve only started collecting since last year, was mostly playing on the super gameboy, but then picked up a GBA and GBC. I have to say I really enjoy using my GBC and don’t plan to do an IPS mod.
    As a funny coincidence I finalized payment on revenge of the gator today. I have to assume that’s the same game. I also picked up Pinball Dreams recently which is a cool game as well with great music.
    This video reminds me that I should also get back to Wario Land and WL II soon. They’re seriously high quality games. 👍

While I think the music is better in Pinball Dreams and there’s 3 boards, I think the gameplay and movement is better on gator. I like the multiple screens and the breakout clone at the top. 👍👍

    Good video. One should know, about the gator pinball game, that it was released way before Pokemon Pinball or Kirby's Pinball Land. It might not look like much by comparison, but when it released it was probably the best pinball title on the system

      Alternatively it's a save corruption of sorts where it saved correctly enough but didn't save the proper pokemon data,though I can't remember if it would give a error and state loading a previous save.

    Ya the prices for older titles are definitely off the charts. Maybe if you live in Japan you can find older games at a reasonable price but here in the states forgot it. I turned to repros to keep by wallet safe. As for modeling your game boy It’s not that difficult, there are countless videos on UA-cam that walk you thur it, I even did mine. Since you live in Japan you probably can pick up a spare Game boy for really cheap. In the videos I’ve seen of the stores there they seem to be falling from the shelves.

      I think it’s just illegal to sell modded consoles in Japan. But if someone in Japan were to mod a gameboy and keep it for themselves it wouldn’t be a problem. But then again, I never saw the video you’re talking about so don’t take my word for it haha
