The story for Trip World is at the beginning before you press start, let it run and see a great cut scene. The music in that game is truly amazing
These ali express carts are actually really interesting, they can be reflashed using a joey or a gbx cart, shantae is actually patched to save to tge same flash as the rom, and the sram pulls alot more power than the original carts so saves only last about a year
good to know
I’ve been waiting forever for a video like this. I love hearing about more obscure GB titles. There’s some interesting Europe only releases like Monster Max, Populous, and Mr. Do that would be cool to see a review of, since they’re virtually unheard of here in the states.
The og shantae cart had a clear plastic shell. You can get repros of that version but you pay quite a bit extra compared to the grey case version
I mean, if you're getting an unofficial cart anyway, you're probably just getting it to play. Why spend more on a different plastic shell if it's not a real cart? As long as it plays and saves, that's all that really matters.
Clear cart makes sense, otherwise someone might assume it runs on their original Game Boy, but it doesn't. It only works on GBC (and GBA via backwards compatibility). I assume you get an error message if you stick the grey Shantae cartridge into a GB.
Merry Christmas Elliot - Thankyou for getting me back into the Gameboy!
I look at Repros this way. They’re fine because the company that originally made them aren’t making any money off them and no game is worth $100+ dollars no matter what anyone else says.
agreed
Agreed too, I bought some gba repros for this same reason
Ironically, the game people tend to have the most hours in are free
EA does not agree with this statement! xD
I have a repro of Oracle of Ages and it doesn’t look anything like the one I had as a kid so I realised because of the shell, the cheaply printed sticker and the price that it wasn’t an original.
Also what I remember from a couple of games back in the days: the story was completely in the booklet, not much text or explanation in the game itself and I liked it. Whenever I or a friend of mine bought a new game, we tried to get as far as possible without checking the booklet and see who came farther ^^
Congrats on your new place Elliot! Would love to see you review review gameboy games.
I would have loved to see you open up the cartridges and show the insides of it
since they're reproductions, most likely from the repos i have they'd be a small pcb about half the size of the cart with a cheap flash chip, sram, and maybe a battery for any rtc features
@@BlastoiseVeteran still would have been nice to see
Shantae is cool in small ways, like playing at night and the sprites colors change to match nighttime, the music and story, the fact that she does a little booty wiggle when crawling. It’s all just so fun. I feel like that game has a lot going for it for the GBC era.
Wow. You provide a very informative channel. A-mazing Tater is my new favorite. Thanks from Las Vegas during the quarentine.
Wow! Great video. Love this channel. I wait everyday for a new video and am thrilled when there is one. Thanks for making such a great channel! Merry Christmas!
shantae asking price is absolutely insane for the gameplay being as average as it is
graphics are amazing though, sometimes i just pop it in to say "damn this is really on a gbc"
but yeah, as an owner of the real deal, repro is the way to go for that one.
All of your videos are awesome and quite enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
I played Amazing Tater as a kid in the 90's on some multicart I got from Spain 😅😂
Catrap is another really good entry. Fell for it almost thirty years ago and it still holds up. Great channel - fun content. 👍
5:42 yeah uh huh we all know an older sibling/relative came in and solved it for you when you weren't filming lol
@ The Retro Future
You should review some of your favorite Gameboy games for each generation. Review anything you want, it's your channel.
Also thanks for the awesome videos. Keep up the great work! 🎮🕹️🖱️🖲️
I really love Trip World. I don't own it, because I can't afford it, so I just emulate it.
I'd argue it's okay to emulate a game that's far too difficult for basically anyone to afford who isn't a hardcore collector, especially if it's no longer being produced.
@@mjdxp5688 That's my reasoning, as well. Even if I could afford it, none of my money would be going to the developers anyway.
Merry Christmas to you and Emily!
Your videos are great. Very informative, and funny!
When you say ‘I think it was released on the eshop’ or ‘I’m not sure why it was so expensive’, it would be good to research those things prior so the video is more informative.
Yes very true. Apologies.
@@TheRetroFuture It feels more real this way, at least for me. It's more like a conversation "Oh I think X", "Oh interesting, let me check that fact" :)
Or do your own research if that part interests you....Elliot..as you were
@@BluejuiceT4 why that was just legit criticism.
@@TheRetroFuture No worries. It wasn't a dig.
I love your videos, your accent and the volume you speak always helps me study. Plus now I feel like I can fix these systems with zero experience 😂
Merry Christmas, Elliot and Emily! :)
Good work as always your doing so well great research as always too keep this up ur channel will grow merry Christmas
Great video, gotta love GBC content 👌
Happy Christmas to you and Emily.
Love that you kept in the mum call
"They're reproductions." Well at least they're good ones. I got a bootleg Spanish Pokémon Crystal and it was pretty funny to play. A but glitchy with terrible translations.
Anywho, Merry Christmas Elliot and Emily. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New year. Lots of love from New York.
I’d like to get back into collecting for the gb/gba I sold my nes gba sp about 10 years ago is it possible to put an ags 101 screen in an ags 001? Also are shell swaps hard for the sp?
Immediately "ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut" came to my mind which was only "released" by Blockbuster Video. So either you stole it back in the days or you had a chance to buy one once they closed down. Prices are absolutely nuts on this one.. up to 2,5K USD :X
Man, I'm so tired of you saying everything in "dollar" amounts. I'm American, so I have to convert to British Pounds, and then back to American dollars just to understand the cost. It's so frustrating.
Hahaha what the f 😂
@@TheRetroFuture Might not be familiar with the concept that not all Dollars are US dollars...
Pounds and dollars are kinda close so it's not rocket science.
@@kennethherrick8436 I'm making fun of someone else's comment.....
Now image the whole f* world having to deal with the short scale (billions vs millions), imperial units and your "liberty currency" in international trading
Which store did you u get these from? Last time I tried to order a trip world it never arrived
glad you are back elliot!
Quite nice to have as real copies. The other close candidates are Wendy: Every Witch Way and Avenging Spirit, even the Japanese releases, Magical Chase GBC, ZAS, Banishing Racer.
I used to have a game very similar to The Amazing Tater on my PC Engine years ago. Something about a tomato maybe? Fun little puzzle game!
Wuao Elliot i never see that 4 games before but interesting video, I love your video good work. 😎
I have Trip World for Game Boy and didnt even know it was a rare game. Thank you!!!!!
Great video as always Elliot
I think a video from you that was more of a retro review and retrospective might be reallh cool, I would watch it and it could be a worth while experiment
U didn't say love u to ur mom. Lol
Pro Noob yes he did
You need to understand everyone doesn’t have the same relationship with their mother or family. I have a friend that always hug/say I love you to his mom but he actually doesn’t like his mom that much. I also have a friend always being annoying to his mother but always help her mother doing house chores and anything. Don’t judge their relationship just because he didn’t say ‘i love you’ .
Naqib Harith Jesus dude... jumping to conclusions a bit
I think its coz he was filming a video
Abit like a family member calling you at work
Learn to type...
How do you make your sp play games in black n white?
I have the First three games at Home i am suprised that they are so rare
Isint shantae on the 3ds store?
Hey Elliot, Can the GBA stretch the Aspect Ratio of GB games?
Love your videos 👍👍
Picked up a copy of Shantae at kb toys for 40 bucks back in the day. Fun part the kid working the register tried to talk me out if it and into a gba instead
Can you make a video on re flashing a new rom on unoriginal cartridges?
His reaction to spud's adventure is like a little kid looking at something their not supposed to see.
Just a little FYI:
Not much of a story for Trip World but the main character makes a cameo in Galaxy Fight and I believe in Waku Waku 7 too.
Has anyone checked if ali express Trip World would also work on the first Gameboy?
Amazing tater reminds me of the super potato stores' names
Trip World is a fun game.. but very short!
It only has 5 worlds.. and as you've noticed you went to World 2 pretty quickly.
It gets a tad more difficult though later on and the boss can be a pain.
The biggest difficulty is that when you're game over, you'll have to restart from World 1. So keep your lives as high as possible till the end ;)
The modern Shantae games are amazing
We can also make the reproductions ourself, by doing a cartmod. It would make a better quality repro as we don't know how much times those chineses ones will last (a cartmod will last as much as an original cart, as it's a modified original cart).
Merry Christmas and happy holidays one and all.
Been collecting gameboy games for over 10 years, have all those carts apart from amazing tater, shantae was originally a gb color game... another gameboy game although advance is ninja 5 o... but these are rare and are worth a pretty penny..
amazing tater is also the game kwirk right? looks the exact same as kwirk i play on my gb lol
Another great video from the good twin of Jacob Rees-Mogg.
There is also Chikyuu Kaihou Gun Zas. It is also really expensive but I don't know if they make a repro Card of it. With box I saw an offer for over 1000. Ridiculous price.
That Trip World game is beautiful!
What is your for GBA favorite game name I saw you play but I don't remember the name.
I’ve found Shantae and amazing tater before. Ninja five-o on gba is another rare game I’ve found in the wild.
Good news for Shantae, its getting an official reproduction GBC cartridge from its publisher WayForward! It's only available through Limited Run Games so it is a limited time print until October via preorders.
Who cares.. what a waste of money..
The spud game had a scary creepy pasta written by a fan!!!
Nice I hope you get Kid Dracula one day, just saying it is a soft castlevania... worth a play... I'm not a collector so I'm just enjoying the rom
Edit just remembered it was Christmas... Marry Christmas and happy holidays
shantae was first game in the line of games . there is new one , witch came out this year
Crazy how in just a little over ppl are selling games for almost 2 to 3 times more. Pokemon Red, Blue or Yellow, for example, start at no less the $40-$50. Sapphire, Ruby or Emerald... $75-$125.
Just in the past month greedy sellers on eBay have pushed the price of emerald up to $200 and ruby/Sapphire up to $90. it makes me sick as a collector..
Blame the pandemic. The whole thing started, and for some reason the demand for Game Boy consoles and games skyrocketed. Demand goes up, so do prices. More and more people are just buying repros nowadays, so fakes and repros have become more common too.
Not to mention with consoles themselves, I hate to say it, but modders are kinda messing those prices up. The more they mod, the less originals there are, the higher the demand gets. I see some people modding like 5-6 consoles at a time. Some people with an entire shelf full of modded GB, GBC, GBP, GBL, and GBA consoles. Along with the occasional DS Lite "GBA Macro" mod.
I really wanna get a GBC to mod myself actually, but I can't find just a plain loose GBC online for less than $70-80. And then I'd have to spend another $50 or so on a backlit screen, and maybe even another $15 on a new shell. A GBC should be like $30 at most, but nope. I'm gonna end up having to use my limited Pokemon Gold childhood GBC if I want one with a Backlit screen, or I'm gonna have to spend $120-$150 on a pre-modded one (which, let's face it, I'd just get a damn Analog Pocket if I wanna spend that kinda money.)
Which version of Trip World is rarer; NOE, FRG, or Japanese 🥺?
I bid on a lot of 3 gameboy games on Ebay in 2015. I bid on it because I wanted Kirby's Dreamland 2, but there were two other games included. Monopoly, which is whatever, and a game I'd never heard of called Mole Mania. I ended up winning with a bid of $7.50. I decided to look at what these games were going for nowadays and it turns out that game I never heard of is selling for around $70!
You should check out Robopon Sun Version, it's similar to Pokémon but it's considered pretty rare, but it's really interesting.
Spud's Adventure? More like Misfortune
That screen jumpscared me when I saw it.
I am sure LRG or other small publisher will release them if they are given the license to do it.
I was like holy crap this dude dropped some bread! Until you said they were repros ahahaha. Trip world is awesome
you should do a nes review of Bucky O'Hare. its a decently rare nes title that's worth some money. My friend sold his to some kid for $20 when he could have sold it for close to $300 since it was a original copy that was still in its packaging. Remember kids, don't let your friends miss out on a big selling opportunity
Anyone knows if Mario 7 coins from the game boy is expensive or no?
Even at the age of 9 I thought the tribal tattoo style GBA SP was butt ugly.
So it's NOT just me? They could have made it look fine if they just did it differently. But they just kinda....tossed on some shapes. Like, for the longest time I didn't even realize that it was an official design. I thought the one I saw was just some stickers someone put on a normal GBA.
I almost wanna go design my own tribal GBA in my art program now, just to prove it could have been made to look good.
@@TXFDA I’m my opinion the whole tribal tattoo craze was a mistake that humanity has to pay for.
Thankfully we can get Shantae on other systems, even steam. Cause ouch that price tag. I have a bunch of shantae games on my gpd win2
One of the most expensive GB carts at the moment is Chikyuu Kaihougun ZAS
Shantae wasn't popular when it first came out, it only got this rare after people started buying it since the later games came out and gained a cult following.
Atlus are awesome they were behind most of my GBA collection, summon knights was them and I think riveria the promised land was theres too, I've got loads of their RPGs back when lik sang and play asia were worth ordering from
I like re-pros that don't completely look like the original on the outside.
Didn't realise the Channel Islands had switched to dollars....
A DS costs a few hundred dollars? You must mean the switch, right?
Repros may be more reliable. Saves in many repros don't rely on batteries.
Shantae is a lot of fun.
Shantae is rare because it was released a year after the GBA came out.
I didn't know I can play game boy games on an sp
Trip World looks really nice.
Tactics ogre knight of lodis Gba cartridge English version is quite expensive too....
I do understand why you bought the reproductions and I don't mind that (I would've bought them myself), but the title is clickbaity because of that
I had no idea what to call this video...
@@TheRetroFuture I bought repo Carts of expensive games.
Alot better than lying to people
amazing tater is basically kwirk lOL
@@TheRetroFuture has no integrity
I didn't think it was clickbait but then again I've watched a ton of trf content and know what to expect.
When your mom calls you
Makes me thing that your mom calls you a lot
Tripworld = I tried on the 3ds back a while ago. Was good fun though very short! I recommend you play Hollow Knight, this game WILL blow you away. I have this on the switch and man o man, this is some good game believe me. The boss fights, the level design, the music, just WOW! I have bought it from eshop, but I find it so good, I just bought also physical copy. Highly recommended! Hollow Knight has me surprised, as like Zelda Breath of the Wild did for me. And also Warioland 4 on the GBA! Good one on Donald The Trumpman!
I wonder if the creators of Vegi tales grew up playing these games...
If I qas buying such an expensive game, I'd want to see multiple pictures, including on the PCB, so anyone trying to sell this as a legit copy probably won't be catching anyone with that.
What's something like this worth?
Kirby's dreamland is by far one of my favourite games ever it was the 1st Game Boy game I ever played still my favourite.
I've had Kirby since I was a kid. I only recently found out that there was even a Kirby's Dreamland 2 on GB. Didn't even know it.
I have a copy of Super Mario Sunshine signed by Miyamoto
I need a post-pandemic update.
Trip World ... ♥️
