scott's colorblind, so he can't see colors. nobody tell him he's actually just playing on a regular gameboy.

"An excuse for me to waste 17 minutes." We love you Scott

2017: "Hey all, Scott here." 2018: "Hey all. Scott here..." 2019: "Hey all! Scott here!" 2020: "Hey all! Scott here!!!"

"I'm 9 years old please let me die" This man predicted the 3DS' death

Kid: "Mom how was I born?" Mom: "It just sorta happened"

"by 98 this thing was screaming I'm nine years old please let me die..." Me too, gameboy, me too.

"Holy shit it's purple!" *Points at green* I love the subtle jokes.

I love how he just keeps making jokes about his color blindness. It really builds his character, however little it is.

Only real gangstas know the struggle of trying to play a non-backlit Game Boy in the car at night.

I love how Scott screams “It’s purple!” while pointing to a green color

That "colorblind diagnosis" joke literally made me laugh out loud.

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.

Legit this guy can talk about anything and I’d still put him in the background for me to listen and watch back every so often.

“But which color?” “All of them!” “WHAT?!”

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.

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.

If you had a copy of "Mission: Impossible" for the Game Boy Color, you could use the IR port to turn the system into a functioning TV remote.

10:24 *Love the setup* 15:43 *and the execution*

"What's your favorite Scott the Woz moment?" "15:45"

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.

10:24 "I would scream if they ever decided to publish a game called little mermaid 2 pinball frenzy" 15:45 Genius. Scott is hilarious.

5:00 "You can immediately look at this and can tell it's a GameBoy Color." The word Color on the front of the handheld:...

"You can immediately tell its a Gameboy Color" well yeh it says so on the front

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.

“What was it’s core innovation?” Get a load of this guy, not even knowing he can play Mission Impossible in full colour...

Tamagotchi: "I'm 9 years (days) old, please let me die."

3:17" holy sh!t that purple" points to green

Scott: "holy shit that's fucking purple" *points at green* I just find it funny.

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.

I was waiting so long to see “little mermaid 2: pinball frenzy”

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.

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.

"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.

This man could talk about the economics of cabbage and make it interesting

Scott: "What the f*ck was this thing?" Scott: An excuse for me to waste 17 minute Me: One of the greatest 17 minutes of all time.

2:36 just brought back one of my most faint memories of watching that commercial as a kid. Thanks, Scott!

Pokémon: The Tradition Card Game honestly has some of the best music I’ve heard from the Gameboy era

I’m going to have to stop watching Scott. My 4 year old just spent the last half hour chanting “Hey Y’all. Scott Here,” in various tones and tempos.

My mom had a teal gameboy color that she used to PROGRAM HER SEWING MACHINE when I was a kid. Badass.

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?

"An excuse for me to waste 17 minutes." So how many HOURS did you need to make it?

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.

1:23 "Did you really want to get caught playing Sonic Triple Trouble?" *proceeds to show Sonic 1 8-Bit in the background*

how did this end up in my music playlist

idk man, you hold the virtual boy controller in your hand, sounds like a hand held to me.

15:44 I have replayed this part so many times. That scream is absolutely perfect.

Scott‘s Videos are the Most rewatchable on KZfaq. Love it

02:18 I mean, sure, they released the Virtual Boy in 1995... They sure did. That always makes me chuckle.

'Scott confused in color' Well it was bound to happen. Edit: what is happening in the replies lol

Scott: "What the f*ck was this thing?" Me: My childhood

That Little Mermaid 2: Pinball Frenzy joke was so well executed.

04:36 "Nintendo was working on a much more "Advanced" handheld to be released later." Bravo sir, Bravo.

Hey scott, Fan Here. Quarantine has finally gotten to him and he has released a Game Boy color Video

I’m sorry if you’re uncultured but “Hamtaro: Ham Hams unite” might just be the greatest handheld title of all time, zero exaggeration.

6:35 GRANDAD LAND

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

Actually, in SMB Deluxe, you can't really go backwards. It's just an illusion caused by screen crunch.

Nintendo: we need a new idea for a console?!?!! Worker: let's just do the same thing with 4 colors. Nintendo: *WRITE THAT DOWN!!!*

15:44 Never laughed so much in a scott video holy shit i can't breathe

Bro. You are a gaming video MASTERMIND. Ever since I found your channel I watch a episode EVERY NIGHT. Please don’t stop for awhile

The only thing helping me distinguish when a new week is starting is the release of a Scott The Woz video

You had every opportunity to talk about Shrek's Fairy Tale Freakdown

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're really funny, I really enjoyed the humor and attention you put into making these.

"Hamtaro? I've heard worse" *_Those're fighting words, Scott_*

“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.

"This _was_ The Definitive Gameboy if you hated seeing things." I LOLed.

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 KZfaq 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

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.

15:18 my face lit up hearing that Shantae theme! So glad it was acknowledged!

Cant wait for next year when Scott talks about the original game boy

Every time I see a second of Tetris it unlocks a part of my brain that makes me need to play Tetris.

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

Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time Scott says gameboy

Hey Scott I just wanna say your videos are very high quality and I always get excited when you release a video you make me proud to enjoy these games keep it up

The little mermaid joke made me laugh harder than it should

KZfaq has been suggesting this channel. Based on the reaction tumbnails, I've avoided your videos. For that, I'm sorry. Great content.

"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.

Wow, this is one of the better videos I've seen about the *upgraded version of the Gameboy.*

I swear he makes some of the best content on youtube

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)

2:08 *Is that the Brick of '89?!?!*

I find these videos extremely helpful to pad out my Wishlist.

Fun fact: The Game Boy Color has twice the CPU clockspeed (could be underclocked to the original GB speed for backwards compatibility), four times the Work RAM and twice the Video RAM, aside from the obviously extended color palette. This allowed for a lot more code to be run within the same time frame and a lot more data to remain loaded at any time. Even if it may not have been that obvious on the outside, developers did have the ability to make significantly more complex software on the GBC platform than the GB platform. This makes me wonder if there are any games that run on both that run worse on the GB version, not just graphically but in terms of lag, additional loading seems, etc. Did intercompatible games have to underclock the CPU and limit memory usage on the GBC in order to maintain backwards compatibility with the GB or could developers choose to utilize this extra power if the game happens to be inserted into a GBC? If yes, did any games ever do this? If anybody with more knowledge about the GB and GBC platforms have any idea about this, I'd love to know!

I enhanced the image and his supposed diagnosis is actually just the entirety of the bee movie script

4:26 damm scott really out here simping for a gameboy

The pocket was my first Game Boy. I loved it, sadly I lost it on vacation so the next year I boy a game boy color with Pokémon Red. That was about 23 years ago now and I still love Pokémon and I could still replay that game without getting bored of it.

Hey Scott...i was just sitting here realizing you have one of the best youtube channels of all time. Please never stop not stopping.

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.

"Nintendo knew what we like over here" wow that linked with me so hard...

Ahh, I haven't watched Scott in a while, safe again at last. This is my happy place

This is my first Scott The Woz video I ever watched!

It’s sad how Scott barley covered wario land 3. It’s one of the best platformers ever. It’s so good

That’s what everyone said about the New 3DS It just sorta happened

i remember playing the original game boy at daycare in 2007 or something. i had no idea it was old enough to drink by then (bc u know, when youre 7 you have no concept of time). truly a timeless classic.

8:46 lmao ya those cool little designs are awesome!

Did anyone else’s parents say “are you playing Nintendo?” it was the most annoying thing ever

I like how back then a screen having Color was a luxury

i felt like i was missing apart of my soul all these years, then i had an old memory come to me of the days in my childhood, playing pokemon yellow on my GBC, that was the first real grind i had in gaming :D, so i recently bought an original untouched crystal clear gameboy color and pokemon yellow, i was hooked to the grind all over again. now my soul is complete. but i didnt stop there i now have a gameboy pocket pikachu editon modded with colour ips screen, and a gameboy advance crystal orange charmander pokemon edition with a modded backlight and screen.

Nintendo: Making slightly upgraded versions of their consoles since the 90s.
