When I was younger, I was at a game store and they had a GameBoy Player with the start up disc for about $60 and a complete in box copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance for around $35. I only had enough money to get one or the other and went with the GameBoy Player. In hindsight, that was probably one of the best choices I have ever made.

don’t know what it is but the storytelling and old game info makes this channel just the best

*Takes accessory cover off* 1980sGamer: “Let’s keep this in a safe place” Every GC owner in 2003: “LOL, nope!”

I never realized how cool the GameBoy player was! I loved this video, really makes me want one.

I don’t know if you know, but there are homebrew solutions for the disc too, and they have SIGNIFICANTLY improved video quality over the OEM Nintendo disc. All you really need is a copy of Zelda Wind Waker.

1:27 - only when you have no way to boot into swiss. from there you will only need the gbi application. booting into swiss is possible without any soldering at all. f.e. with action replay and gecko sd... or using some ingame bugs in f.e. wind waker or animal crossing. if you are good at soldering, picoboot is also an option and will cost you only about 10 bucks in total. using gbi you will have a much better experience than using the official game boy player startup disc.

It's crazy how Nintendo used to do stuff like this

god, this is my favorite gamecube accessory. i have not gotten it but i just would like to imagine myself playing all my favorite gameboy games on the television without any crazy mods and such. unfortunate this is pricey but i want this very badly so i would not mind spening the 1 or 2 hundreds

If you have gameboy link cable that you'd use for something like four sword adventures, (link port one end gamecube plug on the other) you can use your gameboy as the controller for the gameboy games instead of trying to use the gamecubes smaller dpad

Ever since I began collecting, the gameboy player was my most wanted item

I was lucky with those pieces. I bought the startup disc in a GameCube lot for 50€ (with 5 more games included Pokémon Colosseum and Metroid Prime) and the Player for less than 40€. It was something that I really wanted! I also have a Super Game Boy for SNES, let's say that I'm a lover of those accessorizes 😂👍

Wow, I still have mine from when I was a kid. I remember loving playing gameboy advance games on the big screen

I’m glad that the Switch added its own Gameboy player through online.

The GameBoy Player is Definitely an Accessory That is a Must Have. It is So Awesome. It Makes Your GameCube a Whole New Console!

I need one for my gamecube

no no no the game boy player stays on the gamecube the accesory cover was born to be taken off forever

I got one of these last year and I decided to get the Japanese console, disk and player for like 140. It cant play american gamecube games till it gets a region switch, but was well worth the savings.

Hey do we think we can get a short where Timmy gets abandoned

I recently sold my Gameboy player and start up disc for 185. I had the original case for it so thats why I sold it for that price. if it was loose and with a random 3rd party case I would've sold it for less

I've always wanted this as kid! I can't wait to get it in a few days. I can emulate but GB gamed on my pc to my T.v. screen but The GB playet is what I yerned for in my childhood. ❤❤❤

That's cool Matt I'm happy for you, but can you put in a game genie?

Hey, I have a question: Where do you get most of your collection? It’s really nice and I wanna build my own collection! Thank you.

so good man. I need one... and a GameCube. Im currently using a wiicube

I just got the disc and the accessory for 120 on eBay. Seemed pretty fair based on what it’s selling for. Got it in the mail today and it works perfectly

You can get a “refurbished” gameboy player + startup disc for only 109 dollars (100 euro) here in Europe

Game boy was an amazing handheld man my god did I take that thing everywhere even used to sneak and try play it at church when I was a kid lol 😂

I remember years ago my grandma had one like that but the controllers were green and every time we went there me and my cousin would instantly play super mario

Can you try this with the gameboy camera? I feel like that would be cool haha

The GBP accepts inputs from any or all four controller ports at once. You and three friends could control the same game at the same time for total chaos!

Coolest part about the Gameboy Player. There's literally a gameboy advance inside the housing of the player.

Nice vidro bro. Question have you ever tried in modern TVs?

Wow game cube is so advanced. Its able to play wii games and also *GAMEBOY GAMES OHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!*

I have the Pokémon xd gamecube and the matching silver gameboy player. There both super clean I love them

for my gameboy player i actually bought it full in box with original case for the disc and bag for the player from japan for around 100 dollars and then added a regoin locking switch on my gamecube so i can use it. gba games arent regoin locked so it works with american games.

I have two GAMECUBES from back when I was collecting, I do NOT have a boot disc however both are modded to boot "backups" so I use a copy of the boot disc which works fine.

also there a button on the side of the game boy player too eject the cartages you kind off damaging the cards pulling them out there a eject button the right side or left side off the game cube game boy player

Wow! I never knew this existed besides the super gameboy.

Wish they would make a add on for the Switch that would let you play ds games😮

Great but need a good controller pad ...

I recently bought an Indigo Dol-001 Gamecube with controller, power cables, 1019 cube memory card, console box, Game Boy Player with disc in original packaging, and a Dragon Ball GBA game. In all it cost me $200. It was worth it

P.S.: There's a cable, so that you can hook up your Gameboy Advance (SP) to your Gamecube and use that as controller. And you can even use the Game Boy Player as a real Game Boy - via Link Cable with real Game Boys! :D

Congrats on getting it and it was kind of worth it to buy it

its so cool you can play game boy game boy color and game boy advance games on a home console

Best accesory ever i had thr og snes one i would play pokemon crystal on i never had a gameboy untill gba

I know this is a late comment, but I just dug out my GameCube and I have the attachment and my desk is pristine. No scratches and I have a case for it, which is awesome too.

Congratulations! 🎊🎉👏👌

It actually looks like a cube with the gameboy player on

Awesome 🤟 I've the gameboy player but I missing the disc

You can get an homebrew app for your GameCube that is basically a third-party startup disc

Hi 1980s gamer I love you're vids and shorts keep up the content

You could buy the Japanese starter disc for much much cheaper even with the import fee. But you need a modded gamecube that reads both US and Japan gamecube games.

I highly recommend you the gameboy player controller from hori.

Hell yeah, thanks for the info

great job man thats cool

I just want to play og pokemon on my TV

2050:New nintendo console! Includes slot to plug in Switch games!

I already know Timmy is gonna take that cover and do something to it

you can see Luigi in super mario bros in super mario bros 3 on game boy advanced

Its a gameboy player.... OH MY GOD !!!

finally the GameCube is a cube, kind of….

Did you get it from Stu’s Classics ??

The Timer is Used if Your Parents give you a Certain amount of Time to Play Games or to use it if you want to take a Break.

i was suprised nobody ever made any reproduction discs for the gameboy player

It would be much better if it worked in early Wii models

Love the Gameboy player

If anyones wanting one you can mod your gamecube to boot up emulated gameboy games or boot up the start up disc itself so you can use your gameboy player and play your own gameboy games.

Congrats!

form what your telling me i’m very surprised that i found mine with the disc and the gameboy player and disc cover and paper that comes inside of it at a disc replay for $210

Such a good piece though ✌️

Do you have megaMan games series?

I got a Japanese startup disc for my orange spice GB player, cost me like $30 for a mint CIB copy. I have an ODE installed in my GameCube now though so it's kinda pointless.

Please try If the Gameboy camera works?

Seu Canal e Top

Congrats, that's really cool

gameboy i love retro consoles

Get a way of installing Gameboy interface and get rid of that Gameboy player disk

Wii games = 2,559 GC games = 621 GBA games = 1538 GBC games = 669 GB games = 1,042 I was trying to calculate which system can play the most physical games: the Wii or the Gamecube. And the answer is the Gamecube if you have the Gameboy Player.

Can you show your CRT tv and what it’s year if manufacture is

Hey classic gamer do you have the gamecube component cables?

I wish I had the game boy player

It's worth it

It reminds me of a game cube

I bought a GameCube and gameboy player with disc from someone who modded it so you can play JP/US and I love it

Congrats

And Ereader was so cool back then

I thought about buying the disc but the bew chip mod allows for better GBA quality and visual experience on the gamecube. The disc is no longer worth it.

Matt on the right side there an eject "button"

I found my old GameCube and I still had the start up disc in the original case

That’s so cool but is it worth it for 160 dollars

I do have some game boy games they are crash bandicoot the huge adventure, Yu-Gi-Oh dungeon dice monsters , original namco museum, Konami collector series arcade advanced , donkey Kong country 2 , cartoon network speedway, Frogger's adventures tempie of the frog for gba GTA 2 and Tweety's high flying adventure for gbc donkey Kong for gb to play on the game boy Player.

I got my Gameboy player with disc by trading my copy of The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening for Super Nintendo

Nice I love Gameboys

200 bucks is a lot but oh well im glad i just bought one!! 😂😅

Do you have the Game Boy controller accessory?

that looks cool

That looks so cool

Did you like the sonic 1&2

would Medal of Honor in GBA be better played graphically in this setup?

for me i gave up in looking for one for my game cube because off the start up disc price is crazy so i emulatye gba games on pc instead for free not spending 150 or 200$ on pokemon gen 1 too 5 i am good .
