      The CPU is quite on par with the NES one.
      The 6502 basically works like "DDR" memory, operating twice per clock cycle and it's instructions take less cycles than the DMG ones, however as the DMG is clocked a bit higher than 2x, it kinda compensates for it.

    The top subject WITHOUT A DOUBT who conspired against the GameBoy with Yamauchi was Shigeru F. Miyamoto, since he was the one who continued fighting against it even after release, one of those instances was by "not blessing" the first Mario Land. Miyamoto has and will always be jealous of Yokoi's and other people's capabilities, and it's been shown through the decades every time he cancels games and stuff that is not Mario or Zelda.

    I wouldn't be the gamer I am today if not for the GameBoy. I _always_ preferred playing games on my own, wherever I was. Many of my fondest gaming memories are car trips where the hours would widdle away playing Tetris, Mario Land, Operation C and much later, Zelda and Pokemon. I might honestly consider the GameBoy Color to be my favorite gaming device, ever. The minimal colorization of the pre-set pallets the GameBoy Color had that made sprites a different color than the background seemed like voodoo to me, as this was something even the Super GameBoy couldn't do. It made games that I had played in green monochrome come alive in the way watching rare color film of WWII makes that time in history come alive.

    13:28 Nice details on the wear and tear on the GameBoy boxes! Dude, the visuals are amazing, as always. These details are a visual feasts.
    I also liked this detail, and I did rewind it to ensure that I saw what I saw:
    8:07 Shaking hands with two hands. ***Was this a conscious choice?***
    13:53 13:54 This transition is stellar. Going from the DevKit to the GameBoy is genius.
    Moreover, initially, I did not know what I was looking at. But since you placed about the DevKit's next to the screen, it made everything clear (and allows me to identify it in this comment)
    14:34 WRESTLING WITH GAMING Dot Matrix Screen. (Initially, I was going to write about your impressive attention to detail. Having read "WRESTLING WITH GAMING Dot Matrix Screen"
    I think your sense of humor also shines. (Usually see this in some of your bloopers) For me, I literally laughed while writing this. No idea why, but this was hella funny..
    15:21 Titling the Japanese articles 90 degrees and overlaying the English text. Good touch!
    35:13
    speaking of humor, "Lucky you!🎉 I guess."😅
    Seriously, though, GB Pocket's screen was a major improvement over the original's. I wonder if any companies made these abmisnal attachments for the GB Pocket.
    39:58 " Not too shabby for a cancelled and hopeless project."
    ***** Nice touch with pairing visual storytelling wiith your narration***" "It's all ready, it is!" As if the GameBoy finally came together at the end. Which it did.
    Wonderful summation

    • @WrestlingWithGaming
      @WrestlingWithGaming  Před 28 dny +1

      Thanks so much. I believe you're talking about the handshake in the window. Well, it was a conscious decision but one out of necessity lol. I'm not really great with character animation at all. So the two men shaking hands is actually a royalty free video of businessmen shaking hands that I made a silhouette of. It ended up being a bit shorter than I wanted for the shot so I reverse looped it which is why they shake hands again. Or maybe they're just really excited about their deal! Lol.
      Thanks for pointing out all those little things in the video you enjoyed. I really appreciate it and it's nice to see that stuff not go unnoticed. The first half of this video was a lot of me going, "what the heck am I going to do to visually represent this?"
      When I found out what the dev kit looked like I thought to myself, "oh good, this will be easy to model." And it was easy but at the same time it doesn't look like a dev kit or even like an electronic device lol. So adding the dev kit text was a must or otherwise I didn't think anyone would've known what it was. It's accurate to the real life dev kit though. Even that little sticker on it.
      Thanks again for all the feedback and kind words. Have a good weekend!

    If there's one take away from this video I'll try to remember, it is to not try and chalk up a console or device's success to one man. Like, just look at the design process here: two head designers butting heads to the point where they more or less "broke up" forever, and the management poisoning the boss's outlook to te point where it gets shut down, followed by their development partners at long last fixing the issue with a better screen AND the SNES being delayed so the boss felt he HAD to have some new tech to sell... so much chance and happenstance behind this wonderful invention coming to life. This is not the question of one lone brilliant visionary, but a bunch of people butting heads, stumbling, and having sheer luck and chance on their side COMBINED with ard work and determination. A wonder. No surrpise I keep hearing so much about how "every game released is a miracle" from people who work inside the business.

      It's really a rollercoaster of a story. So many things had to both go right and wrong for the Game Boy even to exist.

    It's really crazy how much of a chasm there is between the corporate structure of Nintendo (and indeed any business) and the actual consumers who buy and use their products is; Putting a "rivalry" in between one R&D group and another within the same business, and intentionally avoiding product continuity with your company's most successful device, is the most ridiculous thing I can imagine. The Famicon/NES literally took the world by storm and became *what video games are* to millions and millions of people. How unaware and detached from what the world wants from you can you possibly be to think that we would appreciate whatever ridiculous motivations they could have for releasing a garbage toy instead of an actually useful handheld console? Intentionally not using roms and 3rd party games just to not be like the team that developed the product your business is known for is so wild, and it's literally leaving money on the table.

    The Gameboy Camera is what got me into taking pictures and messing around with stop motion. You only got 30 frames but I could make some cool shit with those 30 frames lol. It also had effects like mirroring so you could be in one side of the frame and then in the other at the same time. It was a neat thing to have.
