Fun fact: the gulf war Gameboy is still at the Nintendo store in New York City right now. Was just there on Thursday and saw it there.

I wonder if that dude who was just randomly playing with his calculator knows what he indirectly inspired.

A Game Boy survived a bomb explosion but my phone screen can't survive dropping 3 feet

Wait, so Mario, Goku, the protagonist from Dragon Quest 5 and Buster Bunny know each other?

I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAME BOY I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAME BOY I W A N N A B E S E D A T E D W I T H A GA M E B O Y

They're remaking this video so that way they can remake the projared videos , and then dykg can claim that they're "remaking old videos" in bulk, and some of those include projared. Smart move. Smart move

Goku, Krillin, Buster Bunny and Yoshi together...never thought I'd see that o-O

6:04 That footage opened the flood gates of nostalgia. Pokemon Gold was my first Pokemon game I played, and I consider it one of my childhood favourites.

"I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH THE GAMEBOY!!!!!"

You didn't mention how the GameBoy Camera was the first game in the United States to feature Pokémon. It pre-dates Pokémon Red and Blue by 3 months.

Lots of parts almost word for word with the old VSauce3 one. Was the point of this entire video just to fix the minor errors in the original?

Did they really just take the dykg Gameboy episode with vsauce3 and change the narrator?

"The *COLOR* in the GBC logo represents the five original GBC colors" (picture of six GBCs) Hol' up

The greatest addition in the gameboy color was actually an DMA unit. On the original gameboy, to copy data around, you had to use the CPU and that was painfully slow way to do it, being around 30KB/s, give or take. But on the GBC, you could copy stuff at 8MB/s, which allowed all those fancy things such as playing videos, games hitting the 60 FPS target a lot more often (but this one is also due the much better screen and improved battery life, as devs would use 30FPS or less to save on battery on the original GB), streamed audio..

Pokemon didn't talk until Detective Pikachu?...was I tripping pretty hard for all those years thinking Meowth talked?

Pokémon gold and silver were the best selling games for the Gameboy Colour back in the days

I hope that Nintendo makes a Game Boy Classic Edition someday

Did you know? If you ever get stuck between 2 pipes, you can play a Game Boy for the rest of your life

*The Great Great Grandpa of the Nintendo Switch* Respect

Gameboy facts, just what I needed to brighten up my day!

Dang getting your ALMS race results from a gameboy must of been the hardest flex of the early 2000s

Factcheck: The Game Boy Light was NOT backlit and neither was the original model Game Boy Advance SP. They had a front-light instead. The actual first Nintendo Handheld to be backlit was the Nintendo DS.

EVERY time I've seen/heard a reference to Gunpei Yokoi, it's always that picture of him with his palms toward the camera and his fingers spread, as though he's explaining something rather compelling. There must not exist many public pictures of him.

4:40 Wierd seeing a commercial with Goku, Yoshi and that Tiny Toons Bunny

currently eating cheesecake important update: the cheesecake has been eaten

This was a nice blast from the past from DYKG. Even though most are old facts, still enjoyed it. Keep up the good work guys!

It had a headphone jack, unlike most smartphones today...

I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAME BOY! I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAME BOOOOOOYYYYY!

"The idea wasn't realized until detective pikachu" *"Meowth, that's right!"*

Seems like a pretty decent amount of the information in this video was included in your previous videos. About Game Boys.

1:36 -- wait, if this gameboy orbited the Earth 3,000 times, doesn't this mean that technically this particular gameboy is almost ten years older than what it physically is?

I cried because of the song: It's the theme of surface SR388 from Metroid 2. The first video game ever what I played.

The gameboy can survive in space but can it survive going into parallel universes?

That Super Mario Land 2 music was really nostalgic

Interview: what inspired you to make the Game & Watch and Game Boy. Nintendo: A man typing 8008 on his calculator

Wait, what? I'm pretty certain that there were anime episodes dedicated to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games that featured talking Pokemon long before Detective Pikachu... right? I'm not hallucinating this?

I wanna get sedated by a GameBoy! BAM! BAM! BABAMBAMBAMBAM!

Small correction to the episode: the Game Boy Color only launched in purple and transparent purple. The other colors didn't come along until several months later

Super awesome video. Really helped perk my spirits after work. Thanks for the cool content and keep being awesome.

* sees sedative device * I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAME BOY!

Playing Game Boy in space. Those are some vibes right there. Just imagine, you're flying a ship, you're in the cockpit, leaned back, chilling. Nothing important going on so you're just kinda drifting around waiting for something to happen. You pull out your Game Boy and start playing some Zelda. Mannnnnnnnnnn.

I still remember playing Tetris on the game boy

Im gonna tell you something, Donkey Kong 94 is so underrated

I never thought I would be so happy to see a short clip of Shigeru Miyamoto dancing

I love that you credited Miyamoto as "Creative Fellow, Nintendo." That's the kind of subtle charm and personality I think works best for this channel, as opposed to DYKG Extra's more overt silliness.

@4:00 Is that Randy Hickey from "My Name Is Earl"?

4:37 These advertisements... its like if my childhood was in one commercial... my god this is beautiful.

Otherwise known as: Pokemon Gen 1 and 2

There were so many great games for this thing, I love it. Now if only I could get my hands on Operation C that'd be great xD

Did you know? The default color palette used when playing DMG games on a Gameboy Color/Advance was chosen to make Metroid 2 match the first Metroid. This was to honor Gunpei Yokoi, not only for his work on the Gameboy, but also for his work on both Metroid games. A fact that is often missed in these videos.

The Gameboy SP was probably one of my favorite handhelds I loved how it folded lol

DYKG, thank you for amazing and consistent content!!

I would've liked more info on the Game Boy Camera as I feel there's a lot of interesting things to talk about with that game...like what's up with those HORRIFYING pictures, and maybe talk a little about Space Fever II and its unique history with Nintendo. Maybe revisit this idea in the future?

You know, I had an idea for a Game Boy Classic Edition, and I think this Gameboy Classic Edition should have these features: -Have the same saving features as the NES Classic Edition -Have a backlit screen while still having the games in black-&-white with green coloring that the console is known for -Have the model be shaped after the Gameboy Pocket with all different kinds of colors (or get a special original model Gameboy version which costs more, but is a great collectors item) -Have wireless connectivity to other Gameboys for multiplayer & digital TVs to play the games on it with added color like it's a Super Gameboy -Have a rechargeable battery that can charge through a USB cable and these would be the games: 1. Tetris 2. Dr. Mario 3. Super Mario Land 4. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins 5. Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 6. Pokemon Red/Blue (you will get one of these randomly) 7. Mario's Picross 8. Operation C 9. Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters 10. Final Fantasy Adventure 11. Megaman V 12. Wave Race 13. Alleyway 14. Balloon Kid 15. Donkey Kong 94' 16. Donkey Kong Land 17. Baseball 18. Golf 19. Tennis 20. Blades of Steel 21. International Superstar Soccer 22. F-1 Race 23. the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening 24. Metroid II: the Return of Samus 25. Kid Dracula 26. Gargoyle's Quest 27. Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge 28. Final Fantasy Legend II 29. Kirby's Dream Land 30. Kirby's Dream Land 2 31. Pinball: Revenge of the Gator 32. Street Fighter II 33. Double Dragon II 34. Ninja Gaiden Shadow 35. Harvest Moon GB 36. Mole Mania 37. Gradius: Interstellar Assault 38. Pacman 39. Kirby's Pinball Land 40. Kirby's Block Ball do you think that would be good?

I'm Sure that my pants can hold a Brick Size Video Game console in my pocket.

It’s cool they mentioned the GameBoy damaged in the Gulf War. I was at the Nintendo Store in NY last week and it’s still there being displayed

1990. In a K-mart in Troy Michigan. My grand mother bought me a GameBoy to help me overcome my fear of heights for a flight home the following day. I ran those batteries bone dry and the second set half dead. Tetris came with the console and I played it until my fingers hurt. Barely noticed being on the plane.

"There was so many innovative and useful peripherals meet for the Gameboy...also there's this sewing machine..."

Dang, the thumbnail hit me with some big nostalgia, along with the 8-bit version of the Pokémon main theme playing in my head.

Oh what a treat - the fact you used Super Mario and the Six Golden Coins BGM, I enjoyed watching this more!

“Lateral thinking of withered technology” is genius

@4:04-.-OMG! That’s _such_ an Internet insult. 🤣

Major props for putting return of samus music

Shoutout to the American Le Mans Series, back when American sportscar endurance racing was good.

Did you know? The main theme song of the infamous Phillips CD-I game Hotel Mario is actually taken from the theme song of the 1933 film “Little Women”. I’m dead serious.

Fact: Gunpei Yokoi was actually the father of Princess Daisy and Wario while he was alive.

7:59 Is that an image of Groose from Zelda Skyward Sword??

Goku, Chun Li, Raphael, Yoshi, and Buster Bunny in one commercial? Where was this during my childhood?

I see lots of comments about this being a remade video, but honestly I enjoyed this very much! 😊 Never would have found the old one, and this was really interesting

Did You Know? Projared cheated on his wife.

Should have gotten the AVGN to narrate this.

i got to see that Singer sewing machine in person at the Nation VideoGame Museum. that place was really rad. they even had what i assume to be a the complete N64 DD collection, i think all 9 DD games, the Disk Drive itself, even the Radnet equipment.

When I turned 4 I got a lime green gba and Kirby tilt and tumble. I loved that game.

The Gameboy Light was FRONT lit right?

Paul McCartney's 2001 album Driving Rain also has cover art taken with the Game Boy camera.

This is one of DYK Gaming's best episodes by far!

Yup, that's a Game Boy alright.

Will you guys do PSP video in the future?

Ah man I miss my gameboy childhood memories, Link's Awakening, pokemon blue, Super Mario land 1 and 2, Kirby, DK land, Metroid 2

Gameboy Advance was technically not the same project as Atlantis, they entirely scrapped Atlantis and the GBA was its own separate new project. Was really hoping that would be brought up but it wasn't...

9:52 Actually pokemon talking was first realized with the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon specials to promote the games.

Well, as some people point​s out this was simple​ lifted most of the info from the old one. There were some misinfomation here that I noticed. - The Game Boy Light didn't​ had backlit screen, but frontlit instead. Same with the first release​ of the GBA SP actually. It didn't​ had backlit screen either until the later release, modeled AGS-101 that had a backlit screen. (Nintendo​ even labeled this feature​ on the box) - We have no concrete evidence​ that the dancing man cameo on the Game Boy Camera is Shigeru​ Miyamoto. That's​ just guessing at that part.

GBA SP was front lit for most of its life. Only at the end of its run did they release a "new and brighter" model with a backlit screen, before discontinuing it

i actually have a copy of Shantae. Its nice to see it isn't as forgotten anymore

Did you know? Nintendo's handhelds have always used low-resolution screens, with GB, GBC and GBA using 144p, and DS/DSi/3DS using 240p. PSP and Vita used 480p and 576p (Vita had OLED screen too).

"They always wanted pokemon to talk, but the idea wasn't realised until Detective Pikachu" Mewtwo: Am I a joke to you?

10 minutes ago I just posted my video game console INSIDE and Game Boy cartridge!! :)

Hold up!!! Are we going to ignore the fact that Mario, Goku, Krillin, Buster Bunny, and Yoshi are in white suits singing together in sync in one of commercials shown. 4:41

We're not talking about the infamous Game Boy Camera Easter egg. We're keeping that in its realm where it belongs.

Now I wanna see the whole Gunpei Yokoi documentary...

4:37 this is the most ambitious character crossover I could possibly imagine

Actually the first gameboy to be BACKLIT was the gameboy advance SP, but the first gameboy to have a light at all was the gameboy light

A bit contractory to say that the Color was a modest upgrade and say it was twice as powerful right after. While it didn't get as popular as the Advance it was most definitely a whole new system.

Did you know? Nintendo had exclusive handheld video game console rights to publish Tetris. Pretty much the primary reason that Nintendo stomped its competition between 1989 and the release of Pokemon in 1996 (JPN)/1998 (US&PAL), was the fact that you couldn't get a portable, on-the-go version of Tetris anywhere else. Oh, and despite needing four AA batteries, it lasted 12-20 hours, far longer than the shorter lifespan the higher spec Game Gear and Neo Geo Pocket could muster.

So that's why "Ball" is one of the final Game & Watch fights in Spirits mode.

Project Atlantis did not become the Gameboy Advance they were two separate handhelds. Project Atlantis was canceled and was replaced by the GBA.

Loved your choice of BG music 6 Golden coins is a classic

I remember having a gameboy such good times oh i miss simple childhood

Strong sense of déja vu listeninng to the trivia, a lot of these facts have already been mentioned in previous videos.

Funfact the wonderswan has that sonar too.
