Game Boy Color Review

In this video I review the Nintendo Game Boy Color system. When it was released the Game Boy Color was a huge step forward from the original Game Boy with improved graphics, a color screen as well as features such as the infrared link port.

Nintendo Game Boy Color Kiwi GBC CGB-001 Review

I've always loved the color and shape of this system. It hits all the right notes with me.

I love gameboys SOO much <3 probably my favourite "console" just because it was so special when I was a kid.

I found a Gameboy Color at school with a Pokemon Yellow Special Edition Pikachu cartage stuck into it. It even worked and it was awesome :D

@TheRottonapple The GBC was able to convert original Game Boy games from black and white to a few colors. There's actually a trick where you can switch colors while booting the GBC.

Wow, headphone jack? Why does my Gameboy Advance Sp not have a headphone jack? That always annoyed me...

A lot of people treat the GBC like just another version of the GB but with colors... But It isn't...
The GBC is far superior to both the NES and the original GB in every way! (Except resolution) It could display 64 colors on-screen from a 32000 colors palette, (against 24 on screen from a 54 colors palette from the NES)
Could show many more sprites on-screen, it had 2 sprite layers instead of just 1 from the NES and the original GB, it was much faster
It had far more impressive games like Wario Land 3, Shantae, Top Gear Pocket 2 and Dragon Warrior 3, games that the NES and the GB could never dream to run...
But you know... The Pokemon games have never shown what the system truly could do... They kinda left people thinking the GBC was just a GB with colors and on the same level as the NES...

My dad bought me one and I would always play it on the bus to school

[marklowery]

The Gameboy Color brings back so many memories. My brothers had one and one of them passed a Teal GBC down and i still have it today. I just purchased the same one off ebay along with Pokemon Gold, Silver and Green. I'm excited to relive some exciting GBC while I'm suffering in high school.

[alexmolina]

I also have two and the same color and I'm only 12 I love the old Nintendo stuff

[austinevans]

@heroscaper57 No. Some games have watch batteries inside the carts but typically they last around 10 years and aren't really meant to be replaced (although you can).

[marinegirl]

oh my god memories. I had the see through purple one. OH MY GOSH AND THE GLOW WORM. that flashlight thing you plugged into it. Oh gosh, those were the days.

@DavisGuy64 With a lot of light pointing at the screen.

I got a game boy color kiwi green for my 11th birthday, which was today

Hi. Easter Egg on the GBC: If you use 800 mAH rechargeables with a power adapter, it'll charge the rechargeables but anything higher than 800 mAH won't charge. It doubles as a charger. God bless.

I still remember getting a purple Game Boy Color with Pokemon Crystal for Christmas when I was very young, it was my first video game and got me into everything.
