That poor gameboy couldn't survive in 1998 so he thought he would die instead which I dont blame him But I don't think about suicide because suicide is a serious issue Also I like how the comment after this some person randomly typed up anti vax parent which I was going to type but I'll let it slide I don't steal original comments because I'm not a stealer
Nintendo has this weird tendency to keep their handhelds alive after a new system comes out. The OG Game Boy would not die after the Game Boy Color came out, the Game Boy Advance kept kicking long after the DS hit the market, even got a revision with the Game Boy Micro. Games for the DS kept coming out for a while after the 3DS hit the market. And holy crap Nintendo would not let the poor 3DS die after the Switch came out, I mean it was so odd, Nintendo released the New 2DS XL AFTER the Switch came out, they even did a remake of the original Luigi's Mansion and instead of putting it on the Switch like any rational human being would do, they put it on the freaking 3DS lol. I fully expect after the Switch 2 or whatever comes out Nintendo is going to be dragging out the Switch's life for as long as humanly possible.
@@Icybubba they build up such a massive userbase with these systems that it makes sense to keep putting out games until enough people purchase the newer system to finally cut it off, also handhelds are particularly popular with children so having a cheaper option available for a long time is really appealing to parents
Hell yeah. I was a wormlight kid, playing Pokemon Ruby and WarioWare Twisted back in '06. Then I found out how to pimp out my Boys with frontlights, backlights, middlelights, second-to-the-back-lights, and everything in-between.
I don't even remember playing my GBA all that much. I played the HELL out of the SP, but with the original, I only fondly remember getting it and playing like 2 games on it. A DBZ game and Namco Museum. I think I maybe did complain about still not being able to see it like my GBC, but I dunno. I don't remember having a problem with it.
Os same. While I had a gameboy when I was little, I was too young at the time to get any sense of their game catalogs, I just played what was given to me😂. I never heard of that joke myself so I didn’t even get it till I saw the original comment here
The Color doesn't have the Light's light because the Light is electroluminescence not a traditional light. It can only make things shades of teal defeating the purpose of the color part.
"How was nobody confused?" As someone who grew up at the gameboy color's time. No one was confused because no one had an original gameboy. Everyone got a gameboy color because their parents got it for them to play pokemon on. I didn't see an original gameboy until years after the advance came out.
The Game Boy Color was primarily targeted at kids, many of who weren't even alive when the original Game Boy came out, myself included. I was born in '91 so I was the primary demographic for the GBC when it came out yet I wasn't even alive when the original GB released. I knew there was an older GB but that was just it, I didn't have one, no one I knew had one, it was just some old handheld I heard about and thats it. No one got confused because it was an almost 10 year time gap between the two systems.
@@JJAB91 I was also born in 91 and my mom had the og gameboy for tetris but my mom eventually got one for me which was the color for pokemon, I never had too many games for it so I never thought the color was the next new system, just a better gameboy
@@JJAB91 Yeah. I was born in '89 and while I was given a Game Boy Pocket, apart from two other people I knew (one with a Game Boy, the other also with a Pocket), all I saw were Colors. My brother was born in '91 and the Color was his first. It did pain me how limited my playable library quickly became when I eventually had to start borrowing my brother's Color to properly play some of the games I was being gifted.
I have to agree. I was born in 93 so I share the same perspective as you on this matter. Now while I know Scott was harping on the game capatability as a joke it is also funny to see how he is a little out of touch with reality on this one. Growing up the with gameboy color (mine was the purple one 😊) It wasn't hard to understand what it could do. It could play all the games that said Gameboy on them. I didn't care about the fact that some looked different than others and I came to understand the difference very quickly as I got more games. Not growing up in that era can make you think it was weird or whatever but to me, as a kid at the time, it was just nornal.
Hey all! Scott here. Say, have you ever seen yourself spend all of your money on cabbages in the stock market, only to see it fail? I should've gone for the carrots.
I remember getting pokemon gold, and it had colour written on the box... I cried for so long because I assumed that it wouldn't play on my Gameboy. I didn't actually attempt to play it for almost an hour because I was so emotional. That day was an emotional rollercoaster, and I still remember it vividly over 2 decades later.
ᴊ ᴇ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ It’s been over a week later and it still pops up periodically. Randomly an hour after he’s supposed to be in bed he’ll be chanting it to himself in bed. If there’s going to eventually be a religion worshiping Scott, pretty sure my son is going to be an early convert.
I'm pretty sure the lack of a light was because the light they had was basically Timex Indiglo and was very, very blue, meaning that a significant amount of the color information would be lost when playing at night. Which is unfortunate as the GBC is basically unusable without an external light in many cases where the GB didn't have issues. I also think that the contrast dial was more about being able to turn it up to get the most out of the batteries so that you could suck them absolutely dry if you wanted to.
Metal Gear on the GBC is an astonishing technical triumph. Seriously, you guys, if you haven't heard of or played it before go check it out. It holds up.
Metal Gear Ghost Babel is by far the best 2D Metal Gear game. it's VASTLY better than the original 2 games... and we better not even talk about Snake's Revenge
@@kevboard We don’t talk about the NES games. Or Survive. Or the mobile spinoffs. However, the MSX games are really good, especially Metal Gear 2. I like Ghost Babel more than Metal Gear 1 on the MSX but Metal Gear 2 is much better. Snake’s Revenge is actually a surprisingly improved sequel over the NES version of Metal Gear 1, but it’s still worse than the original MSX version of MG1.
I went thru several changers....my parents weren't allowing consoles on the tv but were fine with a hand held I could playvon my own. I logged a lot of hours on my grey brick and kinked the hell out of at least two cords.
He just needs to talk, legend says a Witch casted a curse on him so everything he talks about gets a video made of it. He doesn’t record or edit or upload anything, the videos just misteriously appear on a UA-cam channel he did not create or approve
It was a pretty logical model upgrade in that they took the issues most people had with the original Game Boy (being a little too bulky and not having a color screen) and addressed them since technology had advanced to the point where this could be done in a cost-effective and battery-efficient manner. The original model already had such an extensive library at that point that its owners really couldn't complain even if every game from there on out had been Game Boy Color exclusive.
Maybe that’s what Nintendo is doing with the switch, waiting until technology becomes cheap enough that they can make a Super Nintendo switch that can almost Handel ps5 and xsx type of games
And the thing about cartridges was, when you played Game Boy games from the mid-'90s vs. Game Boy games from 1989, you *_weren't_* playing on the same hardware, even if you used the *_same_* Game Boy. As with the Super Famicom/SNES, cartridges, plus advances in chip technology, meant that hardware updates were instead included _in individual games._
Same here man, Probably spent 3x more time on my GBC than any other console i've owned. The damn thing never left my side for many years. Still have it, still works!
@I say Hevi Kabisa every first and popular comment I seriously don't understand your phrase but seeing your profile picture I see clearly you're a fan of the lion guard
Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto themselves were involved in developing that game, and it shows. Ham-ham Heartbreak and Rainbow Rescue also were fantastic games.
Born in 85 here. For my money the GBA is the best console ever released. It had a great original library but all the remakes ports and remasters plus thr ability to play gb and gbc games put it way ahead. FINAL FANTASY 6 ADAVANCE IS THE DEFINITIVE EDITION
I'm surprised Pokémon Gold and Silver were playable on the original Gameboy since one of the new features was Shiny Pokémon, whose entire deal is that they have a different color palette than their non-Shiny counterparts.
“I don’t know how they did it, but they made the Game Boy Color have its own unique look. You can immediately look at this and tell its a Game Boy Color, and not an original Game Boy.” Well... yea.. it says Game Boy Color right below the screen.
As a kid born in 1990, GB Color was a great system. My first GB was the Pocket and upgrading to the color basically felt like getting a supercharged version of the same system, but in a good way.
You talk about the weirdest topics that I never thought I'd like listening to or be interested in, but you somehow make them all super interesting and stupidly funny I absolutely love your videos, been watching for years
10:25 Scott: I will scream if they ever decide to publish a game called Little Mermaid 2 Pinball Frenzy. 15:44 Scott: Little Mermaid 2 Pinball Frenzy (screams)
Yeah. When he said that, I was like, “That’s oddly specific…” and then forgot about it until he was listing the weird licensed GBC games Nintendo published!
5:57 I feel called out here. My parents got fed up of buying me batteries all the time, so they bought me a rechargeable pair for the Gameboy and the DC adapter. I spent an embarrassingly long time playing next to a wall socket out of sight from my parents. Probably why they never bought me a handheld ever again.
Me: Hey Scott, since you have to stay inside you can go at your backlog for another "Tales of the Backlog" video. What are you going to do now? Scott: Gameboy Color.
"I left this milk out for the past week, but I haven't opened it until now, it should be fine........ holy shit that milk was rotten, but how could it have been that way, it was new!"
11:20 "Why not remake Zelda 1 or 2 for the handheld?" Fun fact: Oracle of Seasons was originally supposed to be a remake of Zelda 1, but became its own thing at some point. It's also why dungeons 1-7 in that game all had bosses from Zelda 1.
Hey Scott, in a few days I'm going to be releasing a game room tour. You've really inspired me as a collector. It wasn't until I discovered you that I started to take it super seriously. I notice how you say you love watching small game room tours and that got me thinking about making my own. I'm not asking you to watch, just thought I'd let you know how much you inspire me as a virgin and game collector.
@@YoshiDude-vh4rl I will I promise. Still working on the first Wario Land. I think I played a little Wario Land 3 on a cousin's GB back in the early 2000s though.

My mom thought that PS2s are still being made, the lack of knowledge about this stuff within parents always surprises me, especially if they are the ones buying it.
Even Nintendo itself doesn't stand this, there is this poster talking about "There is no console called Nintendo, there is Nintendo Inc., Nintendo Power and the Nintendo Entertainment System"
I genuinely struggle with feeling like im 'unproductive' or 'unhelpful' in society too. I wanted to say Scott that you're doing a great job just being you. It's somewhat a privilege for you to have a stable income from silly UA-cam videos sure, but it's a privilege for me and all your other fans that it's feasible for you to keep doing this and keep making entertaining videos. Keep doing what you're doing man
The next time Scott hosts a panel at a convention, we all need to tell him "Hey Scott, all here!" Edit: I saw the replies telling me I got it wrong lol. Sorry!
5:48 Can we just admit how impressive it was that Donkey Kong Country, which was a massive SNES limit pusher, was shrunk down to a Game Boy Color game and still playable?
Everyone complaining for decades that face masks hurt their ears. Some 12 year old boy creates a simple mask add-on to fix the problem. Why had no one thought of that before? o.O
I have a lot of second hand nostalgia for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games. I grew up at a time when both the DS and GBA were kinda relevant, and though I only ever owned a DS I still sort of want a GBA. There’s something about the look of the graphics, the simple yet often deep gameplay, the pure childhood feel and charm of it all. It makes me feel like a kid again whenever I look at some of the gameplay and box art, even though I’ve never played most of these games. I’d love to maybe collect for it one day.
Huge thank you for giving some love to the LoZ Oracle games, they are amazing and still some of my all time favorite Zelda games. Also I know it sounds weird but Quest For Camelot was actually a pretty decent game back then, pretty much a Zelda clone but better than I expected
You can't say the Oracle games were Nintendo's crowning achievement of the GBC era if you haven't played Wario Land 3. One of the greatest games ever made.
It hurt to see him brush aside that title and move on. Don't get me wrong, Oracle of Ages was my first Zelda game and blew my mind, and began an unforgettable foray into that series. But when I think of my time playing games exclusive to the GBC, Wario Land 3 is always the first thing that comes to mind. I don't know if I ever even beat it....that game is a JOURNEY. I know I unlocked the golf game though. I played that on the toilet so much. Sunk a lot of hole-in-ones, if you know what I mean.
@@RetroTechSelect I was born the same year the game came out so I didn't play it on the GBC. I played it on the 3DS VC in 2015 after marathoning the Mario Land games and Wario Land 2. I still haven't played 4 or Shake It though
Hell yes it was. One of my favorite GBC-exclusive titles. The 'semi-linearity' of finding the treasures that each have a sort of 'level progress unlocking tree' was an interesting approach. I loved the fact that it would let you replay all of the bosses, _and_ go back and do something else in one level.

Snake’s Revenge is actually a surprisingly improved sequel over the NES version of Metal Gear 1, but it’s still worse than the original MSX version of MG1.
I..had an ac adapter. I was stuck to outlets for hours to play because my mom only bought us batteries once.
It was a struggle.
A brother/sister in arms.
I went thru several changers....my parents weren't allowing consoles on the tv but were fine with a hand held I could playvon my own. I logged a lot of hours on my grey brick and kinked the hell out of at least two cords.
U should’ve taken the batteries from the tv remote
Never had a charger.
Went through batteries like water though hahaha.
Probably enough batteries in my lifetime to run a Tesla lol
@Thim Paul A lot of remotes have AA batteries
"An excuse for me to waste 17 minutes." So how many HOURS did you need to make it?

It was a pretty logical model upgrade in that they took the issues most people had with the original Game Boy (being a little too bulky and not having a color screen) and addressed them since technology had advanced to the point where this could be done in a cost-effective and battery-efficient manner. The original model already had such an extensive library at that point that its owners really couldn't complain even if every game from there on out had been Game Boy Color exclusive.
Maybe that’s what Nintendo is doing with the switch, waiting until technology becomes cheap enough that they can make a Super Nintendo switch that can almost Handel ps5 and xsx type of games
If they thought the original Game Boy was too bulky, imagine what they'd think of the Switch.
@@curtailedbike4123so they'll wait about 12 years to release the next Switch?
Scott: "What the f*ck was this thing?"
Me: My childhood
Fancy seeing you here
And the thing about cartridges was, when you played Game Boy games from the mid-'90s vs. Game Boy games from 1989, you *_weren't_* playing on the same hardware, even if you used the *_same_* Game Boy.
As with the Super Famicom/SNES, cartridges, plus advances in chip technology, meant that hardware updates were instead included _in individual games._
Lol
Same here man,
Probably spent 3x more time on my GBC than any other console i've owned.
The damn thing never left my side for many years.
Still have it, still works!

I’m sorry if you’re uncultured but “Hamtaro: Ham Hams unite” might just be the greatest handheld title of all time, zero exaggeration.
Ah, another man of culture.
Ham Ham Heartbreak was probably better, though.
Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto themselves were involved in developing that game, and it shows. Ham-ham Heartbreak and Rainbow Rescue also were fantastic games.
@@KanpekiJan yes, I think so too. Though I can't decide if I like it or Rainbow Rescue better.
Surprisingly good game

Too true! 🤣
@Nicholas Slager my mom...
She watched the white privelege video yesterday so she's gonna be a sjw for a couple of months
Born in 85 here.
For my money the GBA is the best console ever released.
It had a great original library but all the remakes ports and remasters plus thr ability to play gb and gbc games put it way ahead.
FINAL FANTASY 6 ADAVANCE IS THE DEFINITIVE EDITION
I see you: 5
I'm surprised Pokémon Gold and Silver were playable on the original Gameboy since one of the new features was Shiny Pokémon, whose entire deal is that they have a different color palette than their non-Shiny counterparts.
Most likely due to the fact that Gamefreak was probably already working on it prior to the gameboy color releasing.
UA-cam has been suggesting this channel. Based on the reaction tumbnails, I've avoided your videos. For that, I'm sorry. Great content.

Pretty much same here.
I never experienced that with him, i found him from autoplay like soon after he started the series

I have replayed this part so many times. That scream is absolutely perfect.
Your comment made me appreciate it more.
BigHailFan its even better when you realize its a callback to a comment 5 minutes earlier in the video lol.
Ninja Tony yep XD
“I don’t know how they did it, but they made the Game Boy Color have its own unique look. You can immediately look at this and tell its a Game Boy Color, and not an original Game Boy.”
Well... yea.. it says Game Boy Color right below the screen.

It also came in colors.

Don’t blame the kid. He wasn’t born during that time
JJJ It’s called the “Play it Loud” series, there are a lot of different colors
I... I think that might have been part of the joke.
As a kid born in 1990, GB Color was a great system. My first GB was the Pocket and upgrading to the color basically felt like getting a supercharged version of the same system, but in a good way.
The only thing helping me distinguish when a new week is starting is the release of a Scott The Woz video

The Man The Myth The Gamer facts
The Game Boy was my childhood, and I'm honestly so happy to see him talk about it.
Edit: I'm 16, I grew up with hand-me-down consoles.
@I say Hevi Kabisa every first and popular comment What Swahili crap was that?
He talked about Game Boy Color not orginal Gameboy.
RectalDiscourse y D:
youre glad some teen who didnt live through the era is talking about it?
"You can immediately tell its a Gameboy Color" well yeh it says so on the front
"You can see it's a Gameboy color just by looking at it." Yeah, I do love the fact it says Gameboy color on the front.
"Hamtaro? I've heard worse"
*_Those're fighting words, Scott_*
10:25 Scott: I will scream if they ever decide to publish a game called Little Mermaid 2 Pinball Frenzy.
15:44 Scott: Little Mermaid 2 Pinball Frenzy (screams)
That was some top-quality payoff, the setup was a good few minutes earlier and the call back was great. Excellent writing, new favorite show.
Yes that was the joke
Best Scott quote
Such a good build up
Yeah. When he said that, I was like, “That’s oddly specific…” and then forgot about it until he was listing the weird licensed GBC games Nintendo published!
2:36 just brought back one of my most faint memories of watching that commercial as a kid. Thanks, Scott!
You had every opportunity to talk about Shrek's Fairy Tale Freakdown
Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time Scott says gameboy
My liver would like to speak to you
Yeah I’d die from alcohol poisoning
You mean a suicide?
I'm an alcoholic, not a psycho.
That would give binge watching a whole new meaning
15:18 my face lit up hearing that Shantae theme! So glad it was acknowledged!
5:57 I feel called out here. My parents got fed up of buying me batteries all the time, so they bought me a rechargeable pair for the Gameboy and the DC adapter. I spent an embarrassingly long time playing next to a wall socket out of sight from my parents.
Probably why they never bought me a handheld ever again.
Nintendo: Making slightly upgraded versions of their consoles since the 90s.
4:26 damm scott really out here simping for a gameboy
Lolol
Don't worry, he have a simp-pass.
Finally someone uses the term right

Scott only simps for Wii U
That’s what everyone said about the New 3DS
It just sorta happened

Yeah but the games just for the new 3DS weren't as many as the GBC. Plus it gave some flavor to many game boy games.

Scott‘s Videos are the Most rewatchable on UA-cam. Love it
11:20 "Why not remake Zelda 1 or 2 for the handheld?" Fun fact: Oracle of Seasons was originally supposed to be a remake of Zelda 1, but became its own thing at some point. It's also why dungeons 1-7 in that game all had bosses from Zelda 1.
Hey Scott, in a few days I'm going to be releasing a game room tour. You've really inspired me as a collector. It wasn't until I discovered you that I started to take it super seriously. I notice how you say you love watching small game room tours and that got me thinking about making my own. I'm not asking you to watch, just thought I'd let you know how much you inspire me as a virgin and game collector.
How many copy's of Madden 08 do you have?
You better not have chibi-robo zip lash
It’s sad how Scott barley covered wario land 3. It’s one of the best platformers ever. It’s so good
I know. It is an excellent sidescroller that more people should check out.
Yeah, WarioLand 3 is one of the best games ever! It just that good
@@YoshiDude-vh4rl I will I promise. Still working on the first Wario Land. I think I played a little Wario Land 3 on a cousin's GB back in the early 2000s though.
gameboy color was my first game system, and pokemon crystal was my first ever video game! glad to see you enjoyed suffering and loving it at the same time
17:07 What everyone thinks when Scott makes a video, yet we still love it.
"it just sorta happened" is a good way to explain life
Did anyone else’s parents say “are you playing Nintendo?” it was the most annoying thing ever
My mom thought that PS2s are still being made, the lack of knowledge about this stuff within parents always surprises me, especially if they are the ones buying it.
Once my mom's friend called my Nintendo Switch a Nintendo DS.
Even Nintendo itself doesn't stand this, there is this poster talking about "There is no console called Nintendo, there is Nintendo Inc., Nintendo Power and the Nintendo Entertainment System"
Everyday still
Nah, my mom always gets the system names right
I genuinely struggle with feeling like im 'unproductive' or 'unhelpful' in society too.
I wanted to say Scott that you're doing a great job just being you. It's somewhat a privilege for you to have a stable income from silly UA-cam videos sure, but it's a privilege for me and all your other fans that it's feasible for you to keep doing this and keep making entertaining videos.
Keep doing what you're doing man

The next time Scott hosts a panel at a convention, we all need to tell him "Hey Scott, all here!"

Came down just to see if someone commented this and you beat me to it
5:48 Can we just admit how impressive it was that Donkey Kong Country, which was a massive SNES limit pusher, was shrunk down to a Game Boy Color game and still playable?
Fun fact, the largest Game Boy color game was 8MB and the largest SNES game was only 6MB.
"It just sorta happened" is the best summary of literally all of Scott's videos. And yet I can't stop, send help.

That Little Mermaid 2: Pinball Frenzy joke was so well executed.
I was hoping Shantae would get more of a focus since the GBC was her first appearance. Either way, still glad she got mentioned!
No joke. I think I actually own a copy of Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy

I have a lot of second hand nostalgia for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games. I grew up at a time when both the DS and GBA were kinda relevant, and though I only ever owned a DS I still sort of want a GBA.
There’s something about the look of the graphics, the simple yet often deep gameplay, the pure childhood feel and charm of it all. It makes me feel like a kid again whenever I look at some of the gameplay and box art, even though I’ve never played most of these games.
I’d love to maybe collect for it one day.
I have still played certain GBA games like dragon ball avatar the last air bender although I had the ds lite
Don't collect for it. Buy what you want to actually play, don't buy for the sake of buying.
Huge thank you for giving some love to the LoZ Oracle games, they are amazing and still some of my all time favorite Zelda games.
Also I know it sounds weird but Quest For Camelot was actually a pretty decent game back then, pretty much a Zelda clone but better than I expected
Fun fact: the original Rainbow Six game has a GBC port
Epic
You can't say the Oracle games were Nintendo's crowning achievement of the GBC era if you haven't played Wario Land 3. One of the greatest games ever made.
One of my all time faves. Got my first copy in a trade for Mega Man 2 (GB).
It hurt to see him brush aside that title and move on. Don't get me wrong, Oracle of Ages was my first Zelda game and blew my mind, and began an unforgettable foray into that series. But when I think of my time playing games exclusive to the GBC, Wario Land 3 is always the first thing that comes to mind. I don't know if I ever even beat it....that game is a JOURNEY. I know I unlocked the golf game though. I played that on the toilet so much. Sunk a lot of hole-in-ones, if you know what I mean.
I know. Wario Land 3 is one of the greatest sidescrolling platformers Nintendo has spat out, and to see Scott brush it aside like that infuriated me.
@@RetroTechSelect I was born the same year the game came out so I didn't play it on the GBC. I played it on the 3DS VC in 2015 after marathoning the Mario Land games and Wario Land 2. I still haven't played 4 or Shake It though
Yeah! Im still kinda upset he barely talked about it
I just wanna say: Warioland 3 was awesome.
Hell yes it was.
One of my favorite GBC-exclusive titles.
The 'semi-linearity' of finding the treasures that each have a sort of 'level progress unlocking tree' was an interesting approach.
I loved the fact that it would let you replay all of the bosses, _and_ go back and do something else in one level.
warioland 3 is a beast of a game probably my favorite game after pokemon yelow
I actually like it more than 4 in certain ways. It NEEDS a remaster.
My mom had a teal gameboy color that she used to PROGRAM HER SEWING MACHINE when I was a kid. Badass.
*‽‽‽WHAT‽‽‽*
I remember Kelsey Lewin, one of MetalJesusRocks's crew, talking about that on her personal channel.
There is a game boy color game that attaches to a sewing machine attachment and it controls the sewing machine somewhat
"...in the background Nintendo was working on a much more *advanced* gameboy "
