Fun fact of the gameboy micro, it can survive being washed in the washing machine at least 4 times! I am not good at emptying my pockets...

[jamesbarnousky]

I remember when my sister got a GBA SP and we just sat around turning the lights off and staring at it.

[korokonas]

When I was younger, I had lost my GBA SP and was absolutely *devastated.* It was the only game console I had at the time and played the crap out of it. My parents surprised me and managed to get me a replacement for my birthday that year.

... then a few months later, I'm cleaning out my closet and found the GBA I "lost" in the pocket of a hoodie. My parents were not happy, to say the least. I did end up donating that one to a children's hospital, though, so I say that's a net positive.

"I didn't realize how small the Micro was until holding one myself"

Getting the vibe here that he only bought one for the purposes of this video... All while he holds the RARE AND EXPENSIVE FAMICOM VERSION

Nintendo: let’s use the charging port for a headphone dongle

Apple: write that down write that down

[georgehall]

I feel like the Micro was designed to be played in school during a class... which is why I had one.

Releasing a successor after only 3 years lifespan even though the Gameboy Advance actually was a really big success with selling 80 million units within that short time honestly is a really strange and a bit arrogant move but it worked out for Nintendo the DS sold astronomically. I honestly wasn't aware that the Gameboy Advance lifespan was so short

[confusioned]

Imagine if Doug Bowser watches this video, remembers that project Atlantis was a thing and decides to launch it just as a collectible

Congratulations!
Your GBA evolved into GBA SP!

GBA SP wants to learn _Light Screen_
But it already has four moves

Would you like to forget
a move to learn _Light Screen?_

*YES* NO

Wich move should be forgotten?
Batteries *Headphone Jack*
Recycle Screech

GBA SP forgot how to use Headphone jack
GBA SP learned Light Screen

GBA SP wants to learn _Charge_
But it already has four moves

Would you like to forget
a move to learn _Charge?_

*YES* NO

Wich move should be forgotten?
*Batteries* Light Screen
Recycle Screech

GBA SP forgot how to use Batteries
GBA SP learned Charge

[ArmedReject]

The Minish Cap with all of its annoying quirks, is still probably one of my favorite portable Zelda games

[vvsvlogsYT]

HOW DOES HE MAKE SUCH QUALITY VIDEOS ONCE A WEEK?

_It’s impossible!_

[Marcusdeverdade]

21:53 oh it must be a super rare accessory that scott wouldn't have for sure



22:10 *WHY THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT*

[saifuusuri]

"Oh fuck the letters are evolving!"

DNA mutation be like

[MoonGhostDoodles]

We need a Scott Stash video of Scott showing off that GBA entertainment dock in his car. I really wanna know the story behind how he got it installed lol

[theharvardyard]

"Nothin' screams weird kid on the bus playin' GBA more than Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga"


why is this so accurate

[wimpywater]

The gameboy original on this exact day turned 30 years old

[CassiDS]

18:28 From what anecdotes I've heard, it's far easier for someone who didn't grow up with Pokémon to at the very least make an active effort to get into it when it's to appease, say, a relative or close friend than it is when it's to appease an online audience.

[mariegamer]

I started out with an gameboy pocket and it was amazing. Luckily i had an adapter to plug into the wall so i didn't needed batteries.
It brought me so much joy.

Then I got the gameboy advance sp witch is one of the best handhelds i have ever played.
The backwards compatibility together with a strong lineup was amazing.
The integrated battery was an major improvement as well.

I am sometimes sad that i dont have it anymore.

[spaciumbeam]

The GBA SP was so ahead of its time that it removed the headphone jack before Apple

[PelipperPiccolo]

We need a video on Wii Channels (such as Mii contest, Fortune channel etc.)
