Actually received an old game boy a while ago and when I opened it up because I heard a rattling there was about seven of those same exact carcasses. I wonder what kind of bug it is that you and I both have the same thing happen. From USA btw so it's at least a bug found in both of our regions.
@Logan Weatherhead there was this weird bug that corrupted your SD card, you couldn't go online, and when you turned on the Switch with the card inserted it'd freeze turning orange or with just black. It didn't happen to all switches but it was really annoying and had to send the switch back multiple times as I didn't understand that it was the SD card that was having the issue... Maybe some bug with having the save of the physical game on an SD card or something..!
@@butterccm It was a Samsung one I bought at Carrefour, they should have relatively good quality shouldn't they? I never buy SD cards and USB sticks from sketchy places..! Even if it would be useful sometimes...
It's So Mysterious How The carcass was in there and that's why he is excited. He wants to know where did it come from and How did it come in the console since the console was Refurbished
I went through 5 or 6 DMGs between 1989 and 1994. My brother would huck them at walls, threw one into boiling water, and broke one over my face. Mostly, the screens would break. I dropped one in my parents' driveway and it broke, too.
@@smallsthetimelord4066 I think he gave me a nosebleed, probably bruised my cheek or forehead. It was almost 30 years ago, and he beat me up a lot, so I lost track.
I've never seen somebody so excited about finding a bug in a gameboy! Love this channel, love taking apart and frankensteining gameboys myself. Great video as always!
Play It Louds came out in '95 so closer to 25 years haha that's really freakin' cool though. And yup indeed the stamp on the board begins with a 5 so manufactured in 1995 =)
Nice find, The refurbish part was pretty shocking to me,this could only pin-point just how incredible... These finds can be. The most fascinating part is the fact that someone touched this gameboy, and no-one has ever recorded such an event, until now. my inner-child is quite intrigued.
Just fitted my first ips screen with it's new housing on my gameboy advance, absolutely love it wouldn't be able to do it without your videos so thank you mate!!
I never knew Nintendo had that kind of program back in the day, I always thought it was a more recent thing starting around the DS line of consoles. Very cool to see a piece of history like that.
I started to watch your vids when you had around 1000 subs and now you have 250.000 subs. You totally deserved it, the quality of the vids are great since the beginning
Hey retro future. Have a look on eBay, there’s an interesting item for sale (bidding) called the “game child” it’s boxed. It’s a gameboy clone but it’s a pretty interesting piece. Not sure what year it was made but it’s fairly old.
that intro clip tho... at least you did not have to take a good ten-fifteen minutes to swap out your data to the new console. Back in the day when your saves were always on the cartridge and all games were physical and simple to plug n play those were the golden days my friend.
Now that I think about it, I think I have a remanufactured Game Boy. My Father bought me one from an estate sale as a gift, and it too came in a plastic baggie with tape. It’s been sitting on a suede pad I made for it, and while it does have a few scratches here and there it is quite mint. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
You should have your own tech repair company. You clearly have a talent and passion for fixing and making new things out of old things and that type of mentality isn't very common anymore. Tbh I should learn how to do this type of stuff in my quarantine.
I could be wrong, but I doubt that the Nintendo Power Swap Program was a membership service that people paid to belong to. I think it was just a way of expediting warranty service so you didn't have to wait for things to be repaired.
You’re handling that Gameboy like I did the Donkey Kong Jr Game and Watch handheld I found at a local thrift store for $1 in near mint condition...minus I couldn’t hold my composure as well
I thought the Play it Loud Gameboys were only manufactured from 1995 onwards? Could be wrong. Brilliant video either way, I remember refurbishing old psps and finding those exact weird insect carcases in there. I was not as impressed as you were 😂 I think they're little housefly larvae
3:00 There's no way these fingerprints can be 30 years old. It's difficult to find a EU 1990 DMG., not to mention the fact they were only grey back then. Play It Loud! launched in 1995, with this console (judging by its motherboard) being manufactured around June 1995. That makes it already 25yo or younger. But realistically... it's just a fingerprint of the man who sold it to you.
yeah my "1989 looking" grey DMG is a late(ish) UK one, 1994 on the purchase card but the box itself says 1993 on it so would've been made in 1993. could you help me with my other DMG...? unboxed, but it's *translucent blue* - does have the serial number label on the back. do you reckon it's an official colour, or just a very well-done reshell...?
@@RWL2012 As far as my knowledge goes, there has only been one translucent version of the DMG: "Skeleton" - transparent, without any tint (easily recognized by pink letters on the front shell). Thus, I consider your console to have had its shell replaced. With that said, there's nothing wrong about it, especially considering how greatly the quality of aftermarket shells has improved recently. PS It's commonly known that up until 1995 DMGs came in every color as long as it was grey. Hence, it might be a good idea to verify your translucent blue console by checking the motherboard dates. A pre-1995 date will prove a reshell. PS2 I came across more than 10 "1989 looking" grey DMGs here in Poland. The earliest motherboard date I found was March 1991. One thing worth noting about these - european serial numbers (G with 8 digits) only went up with time. If you can find a console with a number starting with "G00", it will likely be an early example.
If you check Wikipedia, and go to the Discontinuation portion of the History section it tell you how much the Power Swap costs. It was $25 for the NES and Game Boy, and $35 for the SNES. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System
On one hand its funny to see a guy excited over a bug and some marks on a motherboard, on the other it's quite nice to know some people are genuinely passionate about what they do.
My mom broke my ice blue Gameboy pocket by chain smoking while playing Tetris for weeks, and getting it filled with tar. She took it into one of the repair shops and replaced it with a regular blue one, and I was pissed. I bought a different ice blue model years later for the same price I bought my original one for.
you maybe forgot to color-correct the "overhead"-cam. With the Main-cam the gb seems orange-ish, and with the second-cam it looks more yellow... greetings!
I really dont get why people get so pissed about stuff like "YoU dAmAgEd ThE pAcKaGiNg" or system or whatever else.. There is NOTHING that makes it truly special. Especially with the older stuff because there have been millions of people who all saw it and copied the art pixel by pixel and you can just get it repreinted onto a new box, and technically have a higher quality version. Technically, If you were to get brand new packaging material, and fix any device so it LOOKS new, then shrink wrapped it, you could make the claim it was never opened and as long as you didn't make any stupid mistakes no one would be able to tell it wasn't just a really well taken care of never before opened product. Even with this gameboy, Technically Elliot here has remade MANY of these "remanufactured" gameboys, in every single repair video hes ever done on a gameboy. There is no significant difference between a gameboy that has been perfectly cleaned and repaired to a brand new gameboy, and thats where all these collectors that literally have panic attacks over something being touched really just annoy me because as i already explained, there is no true difference between something that is perfectly cleaned and perfectly repaired and a completely new version of the same product. Even with the whole "conserving value" argument, it could also be argued just as much that a Gameboy that was cleaned and repaired perfectly could be more valuable than a "never opened or looked upon" Gameboy, because the batteries and plastic can wear down over time even inside a box where as a gameboy that has just been repaired and cleaned perfectly has had those things replaced or at least fixed so its potentially even stronger than the original and could last longer. And most collectors always scream about the value of certain things, then never sell them because its "too valuable". Whats the point of worrying, stressing, and panicking over keeping it in absolute perfect condition when you truthfully never sell it because it would remove a part of your collection? It makes me want to, if i ever get a franchise or something where i get to produce toys and such to literally just pack them into a black box so no one can see it unless they open it. And with a gameboy as well.. they were MADE with the intent of being played, not for being put up on a shelf and never let out of the box. As the maker of the product id kinda feel bad like no one wants to use my product instead just keeping it on a shelf for eternity. I just.. really dont get what i call the "collectors mindset" of never touch or use anything so it gains millions in value. By that same definiton, that food you ate for breakfast might as well be a collectors item. Who wouldn't want a 25 year old never touched or opened carton of eggs? or gallon of milk? Or how about your clothes? or never opened prescription eye glasses? THe logic is just dumb and honestly makes me sick sometimes when, with modern technology, you can in every way make that same "never opened" product even better than it was and give it a longer life than it would of had "forever in box". Even with rare editons. We can 3D print or regular print every single one. Heck there are people making their own special editions nowadays that are better than the company produced ones, and yet somehow their more expensive and valued more when again in todays world people are making the same color of cases. Just make the company sticker slap it on the case and you have the same thing as a special edition and no one would be able to truly tell the difference unless you intentionally did a sloppy job of it. And even with whats considered rare. My nintendo switch is, so far, the ONLY Nintendo Switch in the UNIVERSE that has my finger prints on it. The ONLY switch to have my finger prints. Is it not, thus, now an extremely rare collectible as it is the only switch with that feature? To be clear, I dont have anything against collect *ING* its the collect *ERS* that drive me up the wall, the ones that have a giant panic attack over you just opening a box or touching it.
I had one of these and had no idea lol Mine was green though. I might still have it in storage, but I think I got rid of it a while back. I think I peeled that barcode off as well lol
Hey man, look I need help from an expert in Nintendo consoles like you. I recently saw a UA-cam video for a "DIY Gamebit Screwdriver" and accidentally got some plastic stuck in the hole where the screw is (It's a Gameboy Color btw). So I was wondering if you have any idea of what I can do to fix that. Please help.
Hi, I think the Play It Loud series (the color DMGs) came out in 95, right? In the title you mention 89. Did I misunderstand something? I may be wrong, but if my memory doesn't fail me it's 95 for the Play It Loud.
I have an old 3Ds XL that won’t turn on anymore. A friend of mine tried combining a car charger and a broken charger. Pluggin my 3Ds into this makeshift charger 1. Made the house power go out and 2. Killed the 3Ds. Assuming it could be a fried battery or motherboard but I’m not sure. It’s an old special edition 3Ds xl. If you’d like to maybe make a video on it, dm me on a Twitter @nobledez ; I’m lovin this type of content!
Ive never seen someone so excited about an insect carcus. Also, there is a typo in the title, btw (it should be "a" not "A" as it is not the start of the sentence).
WOW apparently I have one of these! Thanks for this video, I would´ve never known otherwise! ♥️ It´s nowhere near mint condition but it´s in very good shape for the fact that it has clearly been played with a lot over the years. It’s the transparent one. :) My boyfriend gave it to me on christmas of 2018, funny that it randomly ended up in germany. :D I thought I would peel off these big stickers at some point but now they obviously have to stay. ☺️ (also your happiness about the dead critter was hilarious haha)
Watching this, I recognized the sticker with the phone number, and I realized that my gameboy camera has the same sticker! Not new shell tho, just bought it off eBay. So apparently I have a refurbished by Nintendo gameboy camera! How cool is that?!?!
Sorry, but that sticker is/was on most nintendo stuff. To my knowledge, every gameboy has that on its battery cover. Pretty rare to get something with that sticker in good condition tho. Also, nice find dude!
I have a Gameboy color with that sticker that I bought for €1.00 because I got really lucky to find it in a flea market that didn't know what this is. The screen was not working properly but I fixed it by removing rust with some alcohol. And there also was completely perfect cartridge with Pokémon Red in it!
aw man I'm a bit late but this was a great vid it felt just like your old videos and I'd totally love to see another classic dmg maybe a mod or someone I'm thinking of giving one bluetooth

That really is a special gameboy! Not only Nintendo refurbished but mint condition too
Great video man! I am surprised myself on how exciting this was. Cool piece of gaming history you have there. Congrats.
I have an old 3Ds XL that won’t turn on anymore. A friend of mine tried combining a car charger and a broken charger. Pluggin my 3Ds into this makeshift charger 1. Made the house power go out and 2. Killed the 3Ds. Assuming it could be a fried battery or motherboard but I’m not sure. It’s an old special edition 3Ds xl. If you’d like to maybe make a video on it, dm me on a Twitter @nobledez ; I’m lovin this type of content!
Ive never seen someone so excited about an insect carcus. Also, there is a typo in the title, btw (it should be "a" not "A" as it is not the start of the sentence).
Oscar Plays It’s the title
I remember doing that so many years ago. I think there was a one time fee per swap.
He does have a point tho, that dead insect is in mint condition, straight from a 1990s Nintendo repair shop!
WOW apparently I have one of these! Thanks for this video, I would´ve never known otherwise! ♥️ It´s nowhere near mint condition but it´s in very good shape for the fact that it has clearly been played with a lot over the years. It’s the transparent one. :) My boyfriend gave it to me on christmas of 2018, funny that it randomly ended up in germany. :D I thought I would peel off these big stickers at some point but now they obviously have to stay. ☺️ (also your happiness about the dead critter was hilarious haha)
I replaced my bottom screen for my 3ds xl, it was very scary.
Can confirm, Nintendo still has the same phone number. Tried it last year when I was hanging out with friends and we found a gameboy color.
Never thought id see a man be so happy to find an insect carcass in a gameboy.
Best UA-cam person is this guy
Watching this, I recognized the sticker with the phone number, and I realized that my gameboy camera has the same sticker! Not new shell tho, just bought it off eBay. So apparently I have a refurbished by Nintendo gameboy camera! How cool is that?!?!
Sorry, but that sticker is/was on most nintendo stuff. To my knowledge, every gameboy has that on its battery cover. Pretty rare to get something with that sticker in good condition tho. Also, nice find dude!
I have a Gameboy color with that sticker that I bought for €1.00 because I got really lucky to find it in a flea market that didn't know what this is. The screen was not working properly but I fixed it by removing rust with some alcohol. And there also was completely perfect cartridge with Pokémon Red in it!
aw man I'm a bit late but this was a great vid it felt just like your old videos and I'd totally love to see another classic dmg maybe a mod or someone I'm thinking of giving one bluetooth
I don't think I've ever seen someone so happy to open their console and find a dead bug.
What % of IPA should I use to clean my gba sp? And what parts should I clean?
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Elliot: BLOODY!!
Imagine this thing with modern consoles
It’ll be a mess for save states, for example, for the Switch
She forgot to take her kid's cartridge out of the gameboy in the ad, lol. (What if he had just completed his/her Japanese pokemon red?)
Oh yeah
I like how the Gameboy looks orange on one camera and yellow on the other.
Why are the colors from the different camera angles switching from yellow to orange?
Where do you get all the game boy advance that you use in your videos?
Where are you acquiring these remanufactured units? This is hecka cool
I've never seen someone so happy to find an insect carcass.
"We got an insect carcass! We got some weird residue!" LMAO
In the ad she leaves a cartridge in the gameboy
I've never seen a man so excited over an insect carcass. I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.
I need Elliot’s positive energy in life
See’s a dead insect. Happiness noises
Man, I wouldn't be lying if I said I were a little jealous of your handheld collection... ✊❤
