This man predicted the 3DS' death
Nintendo has this weird tendency to keep their handhelds alive after a new system comes out.
The OG Game Boy would not die after the Game Boy Color came out, the Game Boy Advance kept kicking long after the DS hit the market, even got a revision with the Game Boy Micro. Games for the DS kept coming out for a while after the 3DS hit the market. And holy crap Nintendo would not let the poor 3DS die after the Switch came out, I mean it was so odd, Nintendo released the New 2DS XL AFTER the Switch came out, they even did a remake of the original Luigi's Mansion and instead of putting it on the Switch like any rational human being would do, they put it on the freaking 3DS lol. I fully expect after the Switch 2 or whatever comes out Nintendo is going to be dragging out the Switch's life for as long as humanly possible.
@@Icybubba I bet the switch won’t stop production until 2030, maybe longer lol
@@Icybubba they build up such a massive userbase with these systems that it makes sense to keep putting out games until enough people purchase the newer system to finally cut it off, also handhelds are particularly popular with children so having a cheaper option available for a long time is really appealing to parents
And my son
Godspeed 3ds, you were wonderful.
Welp, time to boot up hshop again
"An excuse for me to waste 17 minutes."
We love you Scott
Missed opportunity. Instead of saying, "We love you Scott," you should of said, "Hey Y'all! Scott here!"
@@ForrestFox626 it seems you lack something called humor.
Darius Brown What?
@@ForrestFox626 I don't get it.
And 17 minutes is just the watchtime, he spent way more time making the video in the first place xD
"How was nobody confused?"
As someone who grew up at the gameboy color's time.
No one was confused because no one had an original gameboy.
Everyone got a gameboy color because their parents got it for them to play pokemon on. I didn't see an original gameboy until years after the advance came out.
The Game Boy Color was primarily targeted at kids, many of who weren't even alive when the original Game Boy came out, myself included. I was born in '91 so I was the primary demographic for the GBC when it came out yet I wasn't even alive when the original GB released. I knew there was an older GB but that was just it, I didn't have one, no one I knew had one, it was just some old handheld I heard about and thats it. No one got confused because it was an almost 10 year time gap between the two systems.
@@JJAB91 I was also born in 91 and my mom had the og gameboy for tetris but my mom eventually got one for me which was the color for pokemon, I never had too many games for it so I never thought the color was the next new system, just a better gameboy
@@JJAB91 Yeah. I was born in '89 and while I was given a Game Boy Pocket, apart from two other people I knew (one with a Game Boy, the other also with a Pocket), all I saw were Colors. My brother was born in '91 and the Color was his first. It did pain me how limited my playable library quickly became when I eventually had to start borrowing my brother's Color to properly play some of the games I was being gifted.
Agreed. '83 here, I grew out of my OG Gameboy by the mid nineties and I bet not many people my age would've bought the GB Colour.
I have to agree. I was born in 93 so I share the same perspective as you on this matter. Now while I know Scott was harping on the game capatability as a joke it is also funny to see how he is a little out of touch with reality on this one. Growing up the with gameboy color (mine was the purple one 😊) It wasn't hard to understand what it could do. It could play all the games that said Gameboy on them. I didn't care about the fact that some looked different than others and I came to understand the difference very quickly as I got more games. Not growing up in that era can make you think it was weird or whatever but to me, as a kid at the time, it was just nornal.
"Holy shit it's purple!"
*Points at green*
I love the subtle jokes.
Purple is my favorite color!
@@mottdropsie do you mean green
He pointed at purple
Nobody tell Stone XL is colorblind
@@InfoDump it’s almost like that’s the joke
I love how he just keeps making jokes about his color blindness. It really builds his character, however little it is.
HOLY SHIT ITS *PURPLE*
*Points at green*
You do know he is actually colorblind right?
@@aiaproductions9319 it almost like THE PERSON WHO MADE THE COMMENT LITERALLY SAID THAT
I am curious, what kind of color blindness does he have?
his three personality traits are colorblind, virgin, and madden
I love how Scott screams “It’s purple!” while pointing to a green color
Color blindness I guess.
Well idk the purple is right next to it, could be both xD
i don't know whether he's actually colorblind but it's great
A daily dose
Ian Newbold I‘m pretty sure he is. He mentioned it in a few Videos
Only real gangstas know the struggle of trying to play a non-backlit Game Boy in the car at night.
Hell yeah. I was a wormlight kid, playing Pokemon Ruby and WarioWare Twisted back in '06. Then I found out how to pimp out my Boys with frontlights, backlights, middlelights, second-to-the-back-lights, and everything in-between.
Basically you hoped there were streetlights where you were going so you could see the screen every eight seconds.
@@Gomeshock So glad I had a Game Gear as a kid, well until the batteries died 3 hours in the middle of a game, but man where those 3 hours glorious.
I don't even remember playing my GBA all that much. I played the HELL out of the SP, but with the original, I only fondly remember getting it and playing like 2 games on it. A DBZ game and Namco Museum. I think I maybe did complain about still not being able to see it like my GBC, but I dunno. I don't remember having a problem with it.
Worst part? I drive nowadyas with the rear light on all the time and it doesn't bother me at all. Were all of our dads just lying to us?!
That "colorblind diagnosis" joke literally made me laugh out loud.
He is really colorblind though.
@@goose1168 still funny tho
@@goose1168 That makes it even funnier
I remember getting pokemon gold, and it had colour written on the box... I cried for so long because I assumed that it wouldn't play on my Gameboy. I didn't actually attempt to play it for almost an hour because I was so emotional. That day was an emotional rollercoaster, and I still remember it vividly over 2 decades later.
dude ik you were a kid but you cried about it before trying to put it in your gameboy?
I was sensitive like that too lmao 😭😭
@@adog3129 some kids are just built different.
I doubt it had colour written on the box. It probably had color written on the box, though.

I’m going to have to stop watching Scott. My 4 year old just spent the last half hour chanting “Hey Y’all. Scott Here,” in various tones and tempos.
Tell him that it’s Hey All, not Hey Y’all
ᴊ ᴇ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ It’s been over a week later and it still pops up periodically. Randomly an hour after he’s supposed to be in bed he’ll be chanting it to himself in bed.

Metal Gear on the GBC is an astonishing technical triumph. Seriously, you guys, if you haven't heard of or played it before go check it out. It holds up.
I have a copy, but im stuck on level 2. I've circled all around trying to progress :/
Metal Gear Ghost Babel is by far the best 2D Metal Gear game. it's VASTLY better than the original 2 games... and we better not even talk about Snake's Revenge
@@kevboard you mean the port made without Kojima and the sequel...also not made by kojima lol
Ghost Babel is one of the best GBC games, hands down
@@kevboard We don’t talk about the NES games. Or Survive. Or the mobile spinoffs.
However, the MSX games are really good, especially Metal Gear 2.
I like Ghost Babel more than Metal Gear 1 on the MSX but Metal Gear 2 is much better.
Snake’s Revenge is actually a surprisingly improved sequel over the NES version of Metal Gear 1, but it’s still worse than the original MSX version of MG1.
I'm pretty sure the lack of a light was because the light they had was basically Timex Indiglo and was very, very blue, meaning that a significant amount of the color information would be lost when playing at night. Which is unfortunate as the GBC is basically unusable without an external light in many cases where the GB didn't have issues.
I also think that the contrast dial was more about being able to turn it up to get the most out of the batteries so that you could suck them absolutely dry if you wanted to.
Good points, actually makes a lot of sense
Hey Skips. Do you know what else can be sucked dry?

Genius. Scott is hilarious.
I was waiting for it after he said he would scream. I knew it was happening. It had to.
Wow that joke went over my head.
Yep. It’s probably the first or second best part of the video. That was actually good.
Os same. While I had a gameboy when I was little, I was too young at the time to get any sense of their game catalogs, I just played what was given to me😂. I never heard of that joke myself so I didn’t even get it till I saw the original comment here

I'm surprised Pokémon Gold and Silver were playable on the original Gameboy since one of the new features was Shiny Pokémon, whose entire deal is that they have a different color palette than their non-Shiny counterparts.
Most likely due to the fact that Gamefreak was probably already working on it prior to the gameboy color releasing.

It was a pretty logical model upgrade in that they took the issues most people had with the original Game Boy (being a little too bulky and not having a color screen) and addressed them since technology had advanced to the point where this could be done in a cost-effective and battery-efficient manner. The original model already had such an extensive library at that point that its owners really couldn't complain even if every game from there on out had been Game Boy Color exclusive.
Maybe that’s what Nintendo is doing with the switch, waiting until technology becomes cheap enough that they can make a Super Nintendo switch that can almost Handel ps5 and xsx type of games
If they thought the original Game Boy was too bulky, imagine what they'd think of the Switch.
@@curtailedbike4123so they'll wait about 12 years to release the next Switch?
The Color doesn't have the Light's light because the Light is electroluminescence not a traditional light. It can only make things shades of teal defeating the purpose of the color part.

Yes that was the joke
Best Scott quote
Such a good build up
Yeah. When he said that, I was like, “That’s oddly specific…” and then forgot about it until he was listing the weird licensed GBC games Nintendo published!
Fun fact: The Game Boy Color has twice the CPU clockspeed (could be underclocked to the original GB speed for backwards compatibility), four times the Work RAM and twice the Video RAM, aside from the obviously extended color palette. This allowed for a lot more code to be run within the same time frame and a lot more data to remain loaded at any time. Even if it may not have been that obvious on the outside, developers did have the ability to make significantly more complex software on the GBC platform than the GB platform.
This makes me wonder if there are any games that run on both that run worse on the GB version, not just graphically but in terms of lag, additional loading seems, etc. Did intercompatible games have to underclock the CPU and limit memory usage on the GBC in order to maintain backwards compatibility with the GB or could developers choose to utilize this extra power if the game happens to be inserted into a GBC? If yes, did any games ever do this?
If anybody with more knowledge about the GB and GBC platforms have any idea about this, I'd love to know!
Only Pokemon Gold and Silver had downscaled graphics and worlds on Game Boy as far as I'm aware!
The extra VRAM is especially notable in my opinion, because it allowed the screen to be completely filled up with unique tiles. The original gameboy only allowed for *at most* 255 unique background tiles. That's all that could fit in the system's VRAM. The entire screen was made up of 360 tiles, so you could only fill about 70% of it without repeating anything. On the other hand, the game boy color's extra VRAM allowed for the game Cannon Fodder to have an entire FMV intro filling the entire screen (along with liberal use of bank switching).
The new 3ds, ps4 pro, and xbox one x (not series x) also had hardware improvements
Cant wait for next year when Scott talks about the original game boy
Did anyone else’s parents say “are you playing Nintendo?” it was the most annoying thing ever

@@JrzyDvl-ri4zo It's annoying when it's used incorrectly but it's amazing when used correctly
Scott only simps for Wii U
Bro. You are a gaming video MASTERMIND. Ever since I found your channel I watch a episode EVERY NIGHT. Please don’t stop for awhile
"I'm 9 years old, please let me die!"
-Gameboy, 1998
No!
Mario: not yet.
That’s what everyone said about the New 3DS
It just sorta happened
Kinect too, it just sorta happened
hevi kabisa!! !
Yeah but the games just for the new 3DS weren't as many as the GBC. Plus it gave some flavor to many game boy games.
@@supportwildlife Kinect happened because Microsoft wanted a slice of that Wii pie.
@@starfireseraphim9696 No
"You can see it's a Gameboy color just by looking at it." Yeah, I do love the fact it says Gameboy color on the front.
Huge thank you for giving some love to the LoZ Oracle games, they are amazing and still some of my all time favorite Zelda games.
Also I know it sounds weird but Quest For Camelot was actually a pretty decent game back then, pretty much a Zelda clone but better than I expected
I genuinely struggle with feeling like im 'unproductive' or 'unhelpful' in society too.
I wanted to say Scott that you're doing a great job just being you. It's somewhat a privilege for you to have a stable income from silly CZcams videos sure, but it's a privilege for me and all your other fans that it's feasible for you to keep doing this and keep making entertaining videos.
Keep doing what you're doing man
Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time Scott says gameboy
My liver would like to speak to you
Yeah I’d die from alcohol poisoning
You mean a suicide?
I'm an alcoholic, not a psycho.
That would give binge watching a whole new meaning
You had every opportunity to talk about Shrek's Fairy Tale Freakdown
The pocket was my first Game Boy. I loved it, sadly I lost it on vacation so the next year I boy a game boy color with Pokémon Red. That was about 23 years ago now and I still love Pokémon and I could still replay that game without getting bored of it.
Hey Scott I just wanna say your videos are very high quality and I always get excited when you release a video you make me proud to enjoy these games keep it up
Nintendo: Making slightly upgraded versions of their consoles since the 90s.
Hevi_kabisa..!!
i remember playing the original game boy at daycare in 2007 or something. i had no idea it was old enough to drink by then (bc u know, when youre 7 you have no concept of time). truly a timeless classic.
I like how back then a screen having Color was a luxury
i still dont know why they didnt add a backlight too
like the gameboy light came out in japan before it so its not like they couldnt do it

*Is that the Brick of '89?!?!*
So is it a fnaf reference or something
@@tippedjoshua6802 yes
"Hamtaro? I've heard worse"
*_Those're fighting words, Scott_*
Ahh yes, the purple GBC with pokemon yellow… what a freaking amazing Christmas that was.
Wow, this is one of the better videos I've seen about the *upgraded version of the Gameboy.*
You talk about the weirdest topics that I never thought I'd like listening to or be interested in, but you somehow make them all super interesting and stupidly funny
I absolutely love your videos, been watching for years
Same dude and when he is huge and has like 10 million subscribers we can say we were here since the start
The Man The Myth The Gamer facts
Me: Hey Scott, since you have to stay inside you can go at your backlog for another "Tales of the Backlog" video. What are you going to do now?
Scott: Gameboy Color.

I swear he makes some of the best content on youtube
you're really funny, I really enjoyed the humor and attention you put into making these.
The Game Boy was my childhood, and I'm honestly so happy to see him talk about it.
Edit: I'm 16, I grew up with hand-me-down consoles.
Hevi kaabisaa!
@@calamari_fan What Swahili crap was that?
He talked about Game Boy Color not orginal Gameboy.
RectalDiscourse y D:
youre glad some teen who didnt live through the era is talking about it?
CZcams has been suggesting this channel. Based on the reaction tumbnails, I've avoided your videos. For that, I'm sorry. Great content.
Same, i avoided him until april 2018 and now he's my favorite youtuber
Who can resist Mr Wozniak's face
You too, huh?
Pretty much same here.
I never experienced that with him, i found him from autoplay like soon after he started the series
Ahh, I haven't watched Scott in a while, safe again at last. This is my happy place
I’d love a Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons remake in the style of Link’s Awakening
15:18 my face lit up hearing that Shantae theme! So glad it was acknowledged!
The next time Scott hosts a panel at a convention, we all need to tell him "Hey Scott, all here!"
Edit: I saw the replies telling me I got it wrong lol. Sorry!
*insert cliche correction of it's "all" not "y'all"*
if you want a Scott convention look at his presence at TooManyGames 2019
all*
he did??
He did go to a convention. Too Many Games. Go on his second channel.
@@kips9635 No I know he did a convention, but I'm saying the next time we need to say Hey Scott, all here
1:04 I think you forgot Tetris
and tetris
Don't forget tetris
i felt like i was missing apart of my soul all these years, then i had an old memory come to me of the days in my childhood, playing pokemon yellow on my GBC, that was the first real grind i had in gaming :D, so i recently bought an original untouched crystal clear gameboy color and pokemon yellow, i was hooked to the grind all over again. now my soul is complete. but i didnt stop there i now have a gameboy pocket pikachu editon modded with colour ips screen, and a gameboy advance crystal orange charmander pokemon edition with a modded backlight and screen.
11:20 "Why not remake Zelda 1 or 2 for the handheld?" Fun fact: Oracle of Seasons was originally supposed to be a remake of Zelda 1, but became its own thing at some point. It's also why dungeons 1-7 in that game all had bosses from Zelda 1.
