I love how its called Scott's snippet but gives hour long compilations

I swear even though I’ve already watched all of Scott’s videos I love watching these compilations

I love how, as “not a Pokémon guy” Scott describes Pokémon’s impact on Nintendo’s portable history like he’s reading aloud a school paper.

"Kirby fits everywhere. Put him in court, I dont care" this was genius

Fun Fact: The name "Game Boy" was inspired by the most popular portable device of the 1980s: The Walkman!

Less than 3 months ago I was in the hospital for emergency, life saving surgery. I'm in my mid 40s and a PC gamer since the days when a PC was a vic 20. While I was in recovery my mom bought me a Switch Lite to help kill the time. As cute as that is, the cutest part is that she calls it a gameboy. "Are you still having fun with your gameboy?" "Did your friend ever end up lending you more games for your gameboy?" "Did you ever buy more games for your game boy or are you still playing that wild breath (zelda) game I got for you with it?" "Do you want me to buy you another gameboy game before you go for the folow up surgery to recover with?" Love my mom so much, and this is kinda a folow up to when I was 12. You see back then I had to do some hospital time, and my mom bought me a gameboy. The origional. Grey brick with a green screen. 2 Games. Tetris. Link's Awakening. I love how shit can repeat it self, over 30 years later.

I like how Scott reviewed these in reverse order

My 80 year old grandma had a yellow play it loud gb and only played tetris for 15 years she even wore the screen out before she unlived. And she only played with it plugged in i wish i still had that charger

I’ve noticed how Scott started talking more about Pokemon as time went on. Dual Releases and in his Stash where his friends had him play “Who’s that Pokemon?” Probably never gonna be the RPG guy people want, but it’s nice for him to appreciate it little by little.

Wow i can't believe scott made videos about the gameboy since 1989. It is sad that he stopped in 2005

Timestamps 0:00 Game Boy - [July 4th 2021] 25:19 Game Boy Color - [April 12th 2020] 42:33 Game Boy Advance - [April 21st 2019]

It really feels like Scott came out of a parallel universe where Pokémon doesn't exist sometimes. And then occasionally he realizes he's sending videos to this universe and he should really mention them. And I mean that in the most loving way I could.

I really hope Scott does a series on mainline Pokémon. Just nine episodes of him really not giving a shit sounds fun.

is it just me or is it actually just really cool to see all this stuff compiled like this?

Proud to say that I have liked every single Scott’s Stash, Scott the Woz, and Scott’s Snippets videos.

It’s been nearly 20 years since I got my GBA SP for Christmas and I’m happy that I still have it. That thing got me through so many days at work with my dad as a kid and it really shows

Although it was amazingly difficult to use due to the size and yeah backwards compatibility be damned....the Micro is still my favorite. I think the look was just too damn cute to deny.

I’m from 1985 and my Game Boy era was epic. I had upgraded the hell out of it. Magnifying glass with build in lights nd external speakers on it nd a special Game Boy suitcase. I still remember when I got my first.. it was the day before my summer vacation. 1 for me and for my little brother. This was for our 23hour bus trip (from the Netherlands to Spain) This was by far the best childhood trips I ever had! Snacks,Game Boy nd looking out of the window of the bus! And know I’m going to replicate this journey again. In september I’m going with my wifey nd our kids to Spain with the bus for the first time. I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus (look a like game boy but with all the game boy games on it (also Nintendo etc) Can’t wait until it’s 22september….. it’s +30years ago that I made the last trip with the bus. Every time I hear the name Game Boy, it gives me instantly all the memories of my long trips Spain each year.

Playing Donkey Kong Land and Link's Awakening on the Game Boy when they were new was absolutely incredible. You can criticise them now because you have modern gaming to compare them to, but Nintendo (and Rare) were trailblazing with these.

I like how Scott reviewed these in reverse order. Dude, your opening joke is one of your best so far :).

Until relatively recently I had no clue that the slowdown in Super Mario Land 2 were FPS drops due to hardware limitations. As a kid I just have no context for it. The concept of optimization or that games can run poorly at all. I either didn't notice or thought it was intentional whenever the game felt sluggish; I just loved having a unique Mario game on the go. And now I get annoyed if a game only runs at 30fps, and I'm even considering upgrading to 120hz monitors bc even 60 doesn't feel fast enough for me sometimes. Times really do change.

If you don't remember the blurring/ghosting being that bad on the game boy screen, you're not imagining it. Its the screens age of these old systems.

"I don't like it when my hands in the back touch. Keep these things away from each other." - Consider this officially nominated as the next contextless snippet.

I remember enjoying Donkey Kong Land as a kid. Blew me away being able to play a black and white _Super_ Famicom game at the funeral.

Like many here I was there at the end of the line in 2005, but I got into the GB timeline around 1997 when I got a Game Boy Pocket and Donkey Kong Land 2 as my first game. Good times.

The gba was first consoles I owned as a kid, so it definitely gives me many cherish memories out there .

Scott's hair has a life of its own and it's ready to mate.

Sega Nomad was what I imagined the really rich kids played. In reality, nobody had one.

Interactive Entertainment Child. Okay I kinda get now why Nintendo rejected my name suggestions

I remember when the Gameboy color first came out. I knew I had zero chance of getting one cause I knew my family was broke so all 7 of us kids knew better than to ask for anything from tv or at Walmart but the bags of assorted broken toys from the 80s from the thrift store were fair game lol. I thought all kids were living like that so I didn't expect to ever see one outside of a store. That was until I saw at least two kids come to school with one I was fucking furious lol that was The first time I seriously considered stealing from someone to be honest lol. I didn't do it but boy the thought was there especially when one kid let me borrow his for the whole school day I was playing super Mario land on it which I thought was some new shit cause to this point I had never even played an original Gameboy. I thought to myself "when school let's out I'll just run home" since I lived on the next street over from my elementary school and the kid that loaned it to me was in the other teachers class so all i needed to do was avoid him seeing me and just book it through the alley and get into my backyard through the back fence and it's mine lol but what stopped me was thinking about how the kid probably didn't have shit either and he was nice enough to let me borrow it so maybe he'll let me borrow it again some time. Pointless story but it's a memory I almost forgot about until I watched this. I didn't consider how I'd explain to my mom how I have it or having to see the kid the next day at school or the possibility of him going to the principal who was actually good friends with my mom cause she's had all of my siblings in that school from when she was a teacher up to her becoming principal lol. But yeah, thanks for the memory pal.

As somebody who lived through the original Gameboy (until my mom pawned it while I was at school) you HATED when you couldn't see that red light anymore. It was the beginning of the end. Lol

8:26 Super Mario Land’s music is so damn good! It just has so much charm and is very catchy, even tho it doesn’t have many songs they are all really good

I loved this summary. Nice humor and nostalgia.

I was the kid who would plug my gameboy color into the wall to play cause my parents didn’t want to keep buying batteries. LOL

lmao the my little mermaid joke that forces you to watch the video to understand is GENIUSSS

i had gameboy in 1991, it was awesome, i connected it to car battery and me and my friends played infinitely...tetris, super mario, castlevania....playing remakes, remasters of these games today is a blast

The OG Game Boy had many great games, some that still hold up to this day. Just...do not play them on a Game Boy. Emulate, or if you wanna play with the cartridges, use the Super Game Boy.

I play video games with my nephews, they love the new Nintendo stuff but are also quite happy to sit there and play Game N Watch and the original Gameboy! Timeless classics.

When I got the little mermaid 2 pinball game around 41 minutes in, and remembered his foreshadowing earlier in the video, is when I realized this kid is really, truly good and making yt videos. Well done dude

Now I want to play Pokémon! Thanks Scott!

I. Need. More. GAMEBOY!!!!!!!!

The first 2 Super Mario Land games might well be the games I've beaten the most times in my life. Those, Pokémon, and Zelda were basically my childhood haha

Scott's thoughts on Zelda for the gameboy are only because the kid was born with the internet. Anybody else wouldn't know playing that game would be the time of your life because there was nothing else to do.

Salt lake 4 days ago I realized I was watching Scott snippets instead of Scott's regular channel and now I have to go back and look through my history and figure out how long Scott has been Zelda boot stomping gandalf me.

Dude, your opening joke is one of your best so far :)

I loved the Gameboy Micro! My brother and I grew up with them.

4 colours of gorgeous green on a matrix screen. Love it until this day.

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS

23:32 if you didn't know, the nintendo character Kirby was named after John Kirby, a man that aided nintendo in a lawsuit where they had to defend against if DK was too much like King Kong or whatever. It's scott sneaking in a gutbustingly hilarious reference.

Man.. I got the brick game boy when I was 7 and I loved it so much

This compilation is really good!

I can't wait to watch this new scott video

My favorite GameBoy model was the pocket. At the time, the screen was so much better, and the form factor was absolutely perfect for me. I remember “upgrading” to the Color. It wasn’t the same. I distinctly remember the GameBoy Camera not looking that great on the Color compared to the Pocket for example. For Advance models….I like them both. The original was the absolutely perfect form factor, but the SP had a genius design. Much more pocket friendly.

This Video was Hilarious given your added commentary lol. Love it man

if scott was an advertiser for video games he'd be a billionaire

Love to see the old outro music. The new one is good, but nothing can top Breakout

I'm with Scott. I'm such a sucker for the DMG Game Boy

Speaking of GBC to original compatibility, I swear I have a memory where my dad chipped out the corners of a couple GBC-only games to make them work on the brick. When you turned on the original Gameboy there was a little cut out on the corner that I guess served as a way to keep the games in? I'm not sure, but the gbc-only games didn't have the corner cut out. I'm not sure if that worked for real or not, but I definitely remember him having 1 or 2 like that.

fantastic stuff i love it !!

This is not a snippet, this is a movie

cant wait for my powkiddy v90. so pretty really loooks like gba sp. Even the SF 2000 with snes controller form is amazing. Videogames were never so diverse, fun and acessible as today. i wish we had more time to play

1 hour long Scott the woz gameboy facts to sleep to

We need more games for the GBA

I love these good excuses to re-watch Scott content

The Gameboy lineup would evolve into the Ds/3Ds lineup eventually all of them would do a fusion dance alongside the home consoles to form the Switch their ultimate fusion for now at course

I knew I used to have one of those "play it loud" Gameboy models with the colored shell. Man, no one I talk to remembers those existing I thought my mind just kinda made them up lol.

Ah yes, the Game Boy. Not only The first of the handhelds, but also the first to get multiple variations as well as the home to many iconic handheld games.

59:06 minish cap is pretty legit, loved the n64 sound effects

uwu

My all time favorite handheld is the Game Boy Advance SP, it being able to play every Game Boy, Color and Advance game released, a rechargeable battery and backlight. Truly, the greatest of all time.

its weird to think link's awakening was just a side project some nintendo employees created in there free time, only for it to become and officially licensed nintendo game

Your battery is low.

This channel is doing what I’ve been doing with Scott’s content already but now I have to click less buttons !

00:56 Kirby pinball!!! Classic! That was one off if not the first game I played/owned for the ol game boy! The grey block 4 battery destroyer!!!

Huh. Never dawned upon me that the DS line was just like the Gameboy line. Both had 3 consoles, the second one was an upgrade, both had a smaller lite/pocket with a smaller form factor. Anything I missed?

I love the GBA. **one video viewing later** I *love* the GBA.

I played games on and off as a kid. My first "console" was a sega game gear. In early sobriety i got a switch and that got me back into gaming in adulthood. I still use that switch and now can play AAA titles with a 4090 graphics card on my phone. Glad i got back into gaming when i did. There are some issues with the gaming industry for sure but crazy good times none the less.

This is perfect

Warioland II was such a masterpiece (and still is).

I'm concerned with how many times he said Boy in this video. 😂

I can't believe I beat Pokémon Red before Scott was even born.....I thought Scott was nearly the same age as me.

Not just a lot of these titles have special screens to prevent them to be played on the Gameboy. All of them do. Because Gameboy color exclusive games are actually just game boy games. With a cheat device that allows you to do save states you can play any game boy color game on a game boy or at least try to until it gets too part that is to intensive for the original game boy and crashes

i loved my original game boy, got in in 89' ,a year later i had the nuby game light magafier combo, along with the amplifier, and my game boy rocked !

The level of meta layes on that joke At 23:25 is so funny to me just perfect Scott 5/5 knee slaps

scott why'd you stop making these in 2005? some of my favorites.

A fun fact: GameBoy almost didn't happen. The screen they had at the time, was worse than the Dot Matrix screen, and the device was almost scrapped. With the new screen being made available, the team behind the GameBoy used it to replace the prior screen, and were able to get Yamauchi to greenlight(no pun intended) the handheld.

It's amazing how long the gameboy lasted, doubt that'll ever happen again

Here are a few impressive games that I don’t recall being mentioned for the GBA but figured I would give a shout out. many of Square’s RPG rereleases Golden Sun 1&2 Advance Wars 1&2 Grand Theft Auto Advance Tony Hawk Pro Skater games Doom 1&2 The Doom games obviously don’t hold up well today but were impressive for the time. The Tony Hawk games were isometric 3D but still a blast for a handheld experience. GTA Advance was based on its original top-down design like GTA 1/2. Golden Sun and Advance Wars were original GBA titles that still hold up well today, which were RPGs and turn-based strategies respectfully. Square’s rereleases were good ports worth checking out if one is looking at the platform.

Scott is a menace. He can talk about the gameboy lineup for an incredible amount of time before mentioning Pokémon.

I had that Dr Evil game!!! I genuinely liked the minigames a lot.

I was lucky enough to own quite a few Nintendo handhelds as a kid, but for some reason I always managed to lose them. I blame my thieving cousins. I started off with the Pikachu/Pichu GBA which both my sibling and I got, along with the Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby games, although technically the Game Boy or perhaps Game Boy Color (who can remember, it's the same thing just in color), as we had one along with Pokemon Silver and some random soccer game that I actually enjoyed playing. But I only remember the soccer game because eventually it was all we had left of the three. Eventually I got an upgrade in the form of either the silver tattoo GBA SP or the blue GBA SP. I know I used the latter a lot and remember comparing it to the larger blue DS phat I got later on (the DS phat was just a GBA SP with love handles and a second screen; the GBA SP sat neatly on top of it). I still have one single GBA classic in the form of a clear purple system, which I have used to connect to Pokemon Colosseum a bunch of times not that long ago, but I don't use it much for obvious reasons. It's a very dated system and I hate relying on replaceable batteries. I wish I still had my old Pokemon games at least. They'd be nice to collect. If I ever get definitive proof that my cousin stole my copy of Sapphire, I want everyone to know that this is my confession post.

Tetris Attack is mint. Also Donkey Kong '94 needs a remake with added puzzles

24:45 that battery pac has seen better days.

16:25 There's a special place in hell for designers who switch between roman numerals and regular numbers within the same franchise. You don't go from 2 to III or from II to 3, you either go 2 and 3 or II and III.

Mario on the GB was my first Mario game. It holds a special place in my heart.

The green game boy color was my first game boy. I never knew about the game boy “light”. Makes sense now though

Super Mario Land 2 was groundbreaking, and is absolutely superb!

Currently 24 minutes in this video and I'm impressed that you haven't brought up Pokémon for this long 😅

God im old i was a freshman when gba came out and the psp

I just got a copy of WarioLand 4 😎
