Its not as creepy when you realize that this is just pictures taken by the creators of the game and were just messing around with the editing stuff. But the music for the cross-eyed is still creepy.
You know what made this super creepy? We all saw this shit on our Gameboys before the internet existed so we didn't know what it meant. Maybe my gameboy camera was the only one that did this. Maybe someone was playing a trick on me. Maybe my Gameboy was haunted. We couldn't just google it. All we had was rumors and schoolyard nonsense.
This used to creep me out as kids. Never understood what they were thinking with these abominations. These pictures deserved to be on one of those neighborhood watch list.
As a kid, these screens just kind of confused me and I didn't get what was going on. As an adult, I think it's a brilliant work of art. Nintendo's design philosophy as a whole got a lot "cleaner" starting in the Gamecube era. Bright colors and rounded edges everywhere. I don't think they have it in them to make something like this again.
just seeing that face without the text would make it a bit creepier as you’ll probably think “where the fuck did that come from” and the confusion of why its there would make it more unnerving
I don't think back in the day it Wouldn't have been scary or creepy But now people are just finding this out And thinking it is creepy It would give me nightmares
@@TaylzYuill 99% of the people commenting on this video are kids that had one of these in the late 90's/2000's..pretty sure people don't care or even know to look this stuff up about the original gameboy
Tbh 0:22 is the scariest. It's the music that does it as well. I imagine that's the music that would play if I ever lost my mind and became 100% delirious.
And our cast members are! At 0:22 we have Gay Asian Man! At 0:39 we have Jack Black! And at 0:45 Someone from the band Kiss! I hope this comment made things less scarier.
It probably was just the devs taking pictures and doodling on them. It wasnt meant to be scary. Just the low quality of the photos and mysteriousness behind them makes them somewhat uncomfortable. Also the caption "who are you running from" can be taken in a threatening way
0:23 The face is…creepy but the music just nullifies that. I really like the music. 0:38 The face is also creepy and the music is just weird but somehow it doesn't creep me out. 0:44 The face isn't creepy but the music is. I don't like this one.
Honestly, the two first one would make laugh a 5 years old kid, it's funnier than scary. The last one looks like a zombified pedophile male version of Wonder Woman with suspicious intention asking you to kiss him or put something in his mouth (I don't want to know what that is).
0:48 definitely would make me freak out as a kid. The other two would just make me go “lol, tf?” and move on. The photos and music seem more passive but the one would probably make me freeze in fear, since it’s more “aggressive,” especially with the music.
who on god’s great earth thought to themselves “you know what, let’s traumatize children with terrifying faces on their gameboy!” And thought it was a good idea
You can imagine one of the three dudes in the RUN screen chasing you down a dark street at three in the morning, eventually grabbing you by the top of your shoulders and shouting, *Who* *the* *fuck* *are* *you* *running* *from?* *Don't* *be* *so* *fucking* *silly*, with the music from 1:02 being played while captured.
so......someone needs to take the music that plays when the faces are presented, distort it (and I mean, like, blow it up, make it loud and jagged and thunderous as fuck), and make these faces appear in a pitch black room at 3 in the morning ...would make a kick ass nintendo related short horror film, no?
this had some serious WarioWare vibes. the exact same people *had* to have made this. i remember when i was playing the first WarioWare on GBA (Mega Microgame$) and there was some slightly disturbing moving image of a kid in a mario costume gripping his mustache in the sound test room. was a bit unsettling to see when you're 10 years old
Personally, I think this was supposed to be a joke, but the English translation made it sound threatening in tone and thus made the pictures feel more like nightmare fuel.
It's playing on the fact that the images trigger from pressing "RUN" in the rpg menu, there's no actual fight going on so there's no real reason to run away.
Why would they put such disturbing and creepy faces in this game? I can imagine my younger self finding this on accident and getting nightmares for days
It was actually some people from Nintendo that took photos of themselves and drew “funny” faces on the pictures oblivious to how disturbing they actually are
Looking back at this, I’m starting to see the “run” feature as almost a Russian roulette of sorts. You’re “running” and you can either successfully cross the equator or get traumatized by the monsters. It’s Russian roulette for kids: a chance for nice music and a message from Nintendo, or a chance for nightmarish faces that you’ll fear for possibly the rest of your life. Kinda interesting now that I’m looking back as an adult.
Apparently, one of the faces (including 2 that were JP exclusive) was the daughter of one of the creators faces that's being vandalized. I suspect the face at 0:35 is the female. Because the hair left me a bit suspicious.
I think out of nowhere and as a kid it might come off as disturbing but when your watching it now and understand that it happens to everyone that plays it, the photos come off as pretty funny or stupid looking
The cross eyed rockstar looking thing had the creepiest theme
FilmTheThousanth yeah
It’s like
DUNDUNDUNDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUN
@DaWaterNinja592 everybody would then piss their pants
I think its the first one. Because the happy music with a creepy face is creepy. Like they are trying to kill you and tries ti distract you with music, but you know he/she will kill you

No, it's still creepy, look at this faces
If I would've heard that music years ago, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a good while
I think the "Don't be so silly!" Screen is the creepiest one
Yeah, it has the creepiest music.
The other two are kinda funny, but then that thing shows up and ruins the comedic value...
Yeah
Uhh...why does this comment have so many likes? This was 3 years ago.

@Jeff Talbot gamefaqs is pretty much a school playground
Ikr?? They were so wrong for this!! 😩 honestly there's STILL barely info on this, and it's still incredibly creepy and mysterious,
This game gave me PTSD
This used to creep me out as kids. Never understood what they were thinking with these abominations. These pictures deserved to be on one of those neighborhood watch list.
KCBlues94 hmm i never had a gameboy camera so i never knew these existed until like 2012 when mullet mike done a creepy gaming episode on this
It was pretty neat back then. I used to take a decent amount of photos with this thing.
What is this tho is this like a game or smth?
this is a game/camera accessory for the Nintendo Game Boy
What is this game
Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
Trialexol12 why are you ronning WHY ARE YOU RONNING
I found these unreasonably hilarious as a kid for some reason, especially the cross eyed one.

The one with the star is the worst tbh
Ye
the star really makes it look like a pentagram
I see her as the wonder woman
Nah. The first face in the video is. 0:24
@@balev000 same
i can imagine this being creepier without the text
I don't know, the "Who are you running from?" dialogue adds to the creepiness quite a bit.
Monty Beetle Defintely more scary with What are you running from ?
just seeing that face without the text would make it a bit creepier as you’ll probably think “where the fuck did that come from” and the confusion of why its there would make it more unnerving
The opposite could be true too, as in it would be a lot creepier if it was just the text and no picture.

Who am I running from? Satan on the GBA.

if i had seen this as a kid then i would have died.

I did as a kid and died
I am 10 year old
Low key that first one had some fire background music
true
Old comment but I agree. For me, it kind of cancels out the creepiness of the photo
This just looks to me like it wasn't meant to be creepy.
I don't think back in the day it Wouldn't have been scary or creepy
But now people are just finding this out
And thinking it is creepy
It would give me nightmares
They were supposed to be funny. Huge fail (remember that Nintendo makes consoles for kids)
Your Name Here this was before they turned into that transition. I think this was the last of the games that was KA rating
The rock star one is literally the only one that can be deemed creepy honestly.

Yep.
you have reason, it´s Jack Black!

the part where you show the equator screen over and over makes me feel like i’m going insane lol

Mario B61 the music at 0:49 is what makes it way scarier though

0:48 is indeed the worst and the music surprisingly fits well with it. The sequences with fourths and thirds minor makes creepy and satanic.
Can't believe a team of adults looked at this and went "mmm yes this is funny and will get a good chuckle out of the kiddos"

Ok It just sounded a bit like it
smb200000 it is. The first 6 notes of it.
For some reason, I find it less creepy when the cursor is on-screen.
why do they put shit like that in children games
***** XD i know right
This was made in 98 so technically nintendo didn't start making it strictly for mostly kids in 2000's
And why are you a communist
This creeped me out so bad as a kid, I remember my friends telling me about this and so I tried it and it terrified me.

Cheers for the nightmares.
"Who are you running from?"
"Don't be so silly! you can't escape."
"Get back here, [kid's name]"
I don't think it is even supposed to creepy. I think they just wanted to add silly faces to the game and created... this.
I know this was supposed to be goofy, but holy shit. I feel like there is something behind me now.
0:22 looks pretty creepy, but the music kinda ruins it. 0:39 is the least scary of the lot and 0:48 still gives me nightmares.
Reagan Coy 0:22 Sounds like a bootleg music version of a Pokemon battle
Same
I find 0:39 the most scary to me
I actually laughed at the faces, especially the rockstar one, when I was little!

Thank God this doesnt happen when you run from a wild pokemon
You are now crossing the EQUATOR

DONT BE SILLY!
0:39 I kinda like this one the music makes it not creepy
As a kid I was so scared of the faces still at this day it’s creepy
Personally, I think this was supposed to be a joke, but the English translation made it sound threatening in tone and thus made the pictures feel more like nightmare fuel.
It's playing on the fact that the images trigger from pressing "RUN" in the rpg menu, there's no actual fight going on so there's no real reason to run away.
Lol no. The japanese one has 2 creepier faces
More so the music behind it!
0:39 Uhh, okay.
0:44 *oh shit.*
0:23 *oh shit but this is a bop*
I used to call the creepy faces “pirates”. In retrospect, I don’t know why they made me think of pirates...
probably the messy hair, fake scars and tattoos
Probably because they look like they were from one piece
It's scary that thousands of kids where like at one point 1 click away from being scarred
Kid: "ahahaha this music is funky"
(Presses run again)
Kid: "uhh mom?"
Even as an adult, this still creeps me out, theres something not right about it, i think nintendo is hiding something dark when it comes to this,
The guy who has the text don't be so silly has the scariest theme ever
Yes. He also looks like Wonder Woman somehow.
swear to god, i was watching this at night and when the jumpscare showed up, i felt every phobia in mere moments

I literally woke up and decided to watch this because I suddenly thought it's funny even though I found it scary last time
I was so young back then, I'd get lost in the tunes because all of my friends were in school and my imagination was on acid.
Why I don't play Nintendo while on LSD.
"Don't be so silly"
And you don't be too creepy
The first one always gives me something...
It doesn't look right
I know right
Nintendo look at this and say "yep this is fine, no one will ever get scared"
If you couple 0:23 with the creepiest music it would be the most disturbing out of all, methinks.

Me: I'M RUNNING FROM YOU!
Scarier than Aku no Hana
+room exactly. I unsubbed from Game Theory because they just made too many FNAF videos and I didn't care
+Epic Mametchi! ANYTHING is scarier than that
who ?
I’ll be honest, these more fascinated me as a kid rather than creep me out. As did a lot of the Game Boy Camera itself, in fact.
Okay I know the faces gave us all childhood trauma but can we appreciate the music?! Especially on the lets play menu with the boy that shits good
Even at age 27 that FUCKING atonal "music" and that GODDAMN face still give me instantaneous anxiety.
I find this more hilarious than scary lol
Ngl the first one's beat hits hard lol
I wish newer games did wierd and creepy shit like this
In far cry 4, you can win the game just by staying put for 15 minutes at the beginning of the game when the murderous guy tells you to.
Imagine stealing a game boy with this a long time back and seeing who are you running from lmao or finding one in the park
So what made the production team of the Gameboy Camera think that this shit is funny or cool? Kids would be petrified! Some kid-friendly game.
We were, trust me haha
Reminds me of the same thing with majin sonic, you don’t know, this could’ve been for the funny
These arent that scary but first seeing them ACTUALLY scarred me
0:22 made me jump and run to my dad when i saw it at 10 yrs old lol
