    You recently did a poll over whether or not we would want more Japan vlogs... and I mean of course the answer is yes, because it's great content! However... I do miss more of your old mod and restoration videos. Even if it is a lot of stuff you've shown before, I think it would be pretty cool for you to do more of that stuff and maybe branch out to home consoles and such. Keep doing what you do!

    Fun fact, in the UK, the Gameboy Camera was the first time we ever saw a Pokémon on Nintendo hardware, through the stickers you could place on photos. Im 98% sure of this after checking the dates myself, with a memory as a kid of wondering who these strange things were meant to be. A couple of years later, the answer came.

    The GBA link cable was used with Legend of Zelda Four Swords. When you and your friends went into a cave, your party would show up on the GBA! It is also how you went to Cap’n’s island when playing the first Animal Crossing!

    Awesome video! Sadly, my wife and I just left Japan, and it was the experience of a lifetime! I'm really happy that you were able to explore most of Japan and find such rare crazy items that most people have never seen! For anyone watching this video I implore you to go to Japan! The food, culture, and lifestyle is so much different from the west! While I was there I was able to get a Gameboy Advance ( transparent pink) a Gameboy Advance SP ( Silver) and nintendos new Game and Watch devices! (Mario & Zelda) all the devices worked and were in excellent condition that it was hard to justify if they really were used! Also, the prices for these devices are insanely low! I even bought the same Black Gameboy you showcased for my Mom! ( Hers broke some years back ) I also sent her the Sega Mega leather case with the Gameboy inside! (That Sega Mega case makes great gift wrapping lol) lastly I got my wife and I matching Casio watches that were some kind of limited gold edition watches! I can go on and on for hours but for anyone watching, please go and bring whoever you can to share the experience with! Also, if you don't climb Mt. Fuji... you bound to come back to Japan ( At least that's a US Navy saying!)

    Nice to see all the great stuff you bought! One thing I do know, is that the Game Boy Advance adapter supports The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for GameCube. Parts of the game were played on the GBA if you had it hooked up. Very cool. Game Boy Camera brought back memories for me as well.

    The GBA to GC link cable allowed you to use the GBA as a controller for Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles; both would show player specific information on the GBAs screen. I'm sure there were some other games that worked with it, but those were the major ones.

      Another game with good GBA link support is Rayman 3, which has this minigame where one player on the TV is trying to get through a race track of sorts that's being constructed in real time by a GBA player. It's a lot of fun with a friend, and there's also a 2v2 version of that minigame (good luck unlocking it though)
