Is it just me or does anyone else love falling asleep watching these.

[Gilhelmi]

when I was young, I got a GameBoy. I had a friend who had a GameGear.

At first, I was amazed with the GameGear. But then I realized that it took more batteries and lasted far less. I knew that my parents would never buy that many batteries so I completely lost interest in it.

Even now, I am sure that battery life is what made the GameBoy a huge success.

The Handheld are my main option because of portability, so my favorite consoles when I was a kid. Incredible worlds in the palm of my hand :3

All that foresight in regards to the Gameboy Advance Hardware.
Yet it wasn't back-lit.

[AbdullaSulaimani]

I remembered the gameboy advance. I used to watch Spongebob Squarepants on it; those were the days!!

[notmyrealname]

Ironic how Nintendo killed GBA compatibility for the DS because "it'd make the system too big" and only made their handhelds bigger since.

[blackhatfreak]

Makes sense having LGR do the last bit because the Virtual Boy is definitely oddware.

[BringZeWubs]

I have such a connection with Nintendo handhelds. I really wish they'd go back to stuff like the GBA, especially if they brought back the Pokemon pixel style

[PhantoRoyce]

The GB line is honestly legendary. I was born in 97 but I got a bunch of my older cousins hand me downs and one of them was an original gameboy and what seemed like a million games. I learned how to read at an early age out of spite because I couldn’t beat Pokémon yellow

I think it’s ridiculous how Nintendo made the GameBoy Light in Japan and when they were creating the GBA they were like, “Should we implement a screen that can actually be seen without imploding people’s eyeballs with a backlight like in the GBL? Nah. Let’s fuck over everyone who wants to play.”

[TsubasaGeass]

Nintendo handhelds have been my go to for years starting with the GBA and have always loved their design and form factor.

[Butterism]

All this forethought into the Gameboy Advance. All this detailed planed to the tiniest detail. And yet it didn't have backlight or a headphone jack. Sure, let me try to watch Pokemon on a public school bus while holding the system super close to hear, and hoping I got good lighting.

[stfloorguy]

Honestly nothing can replace dedicated gaming hardware. Gaming on my phone sucks with out buttons. I know you can buy a controller but it makes everything clunky and unwieldy. A gameboy or any of the devices can just be pulled out and turned on. My note 10+ < gameboy advance

[asap_usedmeme]

Why is this easier to watch for hours on end than a movie

[modeloman]

Everytime Nintendo says “third pillar” it’ll always be a successor

[GmNdWtchr]

"Eight Six Seven Five Three *Zero* Nine"
That is very unsatisfying...

[xaviervitor]

I never had an gameboy (gb, gbc, gba...) when I was a child, but getting older I got to play many of the excelent gameboy games like Pokemon Crystal, Minish Cap, Pokemon Fire Red, Crash Bandicoot... and now I'm back to it, played Metroid Zero Mission recently and now playing Metroid Fusion. The gameboy games made such a difference in my life and watching the B roll for this compilation with ads, promotional material and footage from this era makes my heart warm. Thanks for all your work researching and bringing this all together for the community. Cheers from Brazil!

"Though nothing on this game Exists publicly"
Lets hope gigaleaks do the job

[DvnStone]

Wow. What are the odds. Was surprised when I heard of the borthday start up sound. So I turned on my ds lite and it made that sound. Its not my bday and never bothered checking what the bday setting was on it. Just so happen to be set on Dec 14. Blew my mind

[felipesoaresleite]

Nintendo has such an interesting history, it seems there's so much to discover still about the company and products
