I remember saving for months to get one of these when I was six. Can't even say how happy it made me to relive the unboxing one more time.
This brings back memories!
You should really do the bloopers you did in an old Ask Me video. lol
are u gonna review games for it?
Hey Austin when do you expect to put out another gaming pc video?
Had a GBA when i was a kid, played pokemon green and red.
Memories right
Christmas morning of 1999. I unwrapped the same green Gameboy Color along with Pokemon Yellow. I'll never forget how happy I was that day.
Even just seeing this shade of green makes me a little nostalgic sometimes.
I did wish that I was born in the 20th century, a place where small things meant a fortune to us, nowadays, life sucks for this gen-kids like me, you're really lucky.
+Alpha Cat I agree. :(
+Alpha Cat me being a 21st century kid (2001) I can definitely agree with you, but with older siblings, I had an original gameboy and a ps2 with crash team racing and fairly odd parents (breaking da rules) until I was 12, I can really see where you're coming from, but not everybody's the same.
+Arthur Gloster - XBoxModding132 i had a gba, i have a ps1, i had a ps 2 and some old noname consoles (i was born in 2003)
+Alpha Cat I REALLY want a gameboy colour to play Pokemon crystal my friend and I always still play n64 and gameboy advance even though he has a PS4
Game Boy Color manual ironically not in color.
:v
That always got me.
I don't think many consoles had color manuals- I know for sure the DS and 3DS didn't. I don't think the Switch had a formal manual at all lol
One of his old teachers watch this. then they're like: THEY DID WHAT!?
+Shroom Tube ikr.
Prob all dead
I'M GONNA ORDER A PURPLE ONE TOMORROW
+FNAF WORLD gaming what does that have to do with the comment fnaf boi
well it is about the Gameboy color
Probably haven't seen a CZcamsr become so emotionally happy in a video as much as you did. I feel so happy for you Austin! You can tell that he really had a genuinely fun and exciting time unboxing this. Glad things are working out for you Austin!
Thanks! =D
I completely get it though I'm 21 and I just remember playing my Gameboy non stop Pokemon red all the way :P
Travis Nealey Congrats billions of other children did too -_-
Watch Markiplier, you'll see and feel emotions...
***** Only 1 billion people live in Africa. The three main videogame markets come in at over 2 billion. This makes it inevitable that billions have played those games. Not millions. Billions. You have a nice day now.
I can see many collectors rage that you unbox a gameboy that's brandnew, but why keep it in its box forever? Its made to play games!
Troll4ever31 ._. people pay BIG money for unopened stuff
Troll4ever31 ._. I think he actually saved it from those corroding batteries lol
Fucking everywhere
All retro consoles are in still full production you literally could walk into Japan of go online and buy a modded one with backlit and audio enhancements etc for all games boys except the micro but Thursday customs works with them and sometimes rose colored gaming
Yeah I agree
HOW CAN A GAMEBOY SURVIVE A BOMB BUT NOT A FIRE?
+Logan Bossinger electrical fire, melting plastic and metal
True!
TheFlaringFlareon I've seen a Gameboy come out of a fire melted but functioning just fine, it was probably the bulldozer in my opinion :p
Iluminati
Short blast is stopped by the sturdy plastic, long exposure to heat melts that, melts the solder+warps PCB+cracks capacitors, resistors+evaporates the liquid cristal in the liquid cristal display+etc
I know I'll sound like an old grandpa but this is so much more beautiful than today's smartphones as gaming devices. The green shade is absolutely stunning.
Holy nostalgia. My only handheld gaming device was the SP. Definitely brought me back to the playground with my friends. Well done!
The Tribal Edition SP was the shit
my cousins still play pokemon and king kong on my gameboy advance sp xD
Mine was also the sp!!
I had a GBA a GBC and a regular GB (now i also have a DS light and a 3DS but i didn't have those on the playground xD)
That was my first new handheld!
I never got a gameboy new ... this was so fun to watch. Such great nostalgia!
Patience
Lisa EISA Sskakwk
Man these colorful gameboy colors are too nostalgic. Now that's what you call "Taste the rainbow... Play the rainbow!"
Yeah... I've always been into the colors. To me, they somehow play a role in the feeling you get playing the game
Game boy is a perfect name for a portable console
sorry I just like the name 📱
That might work actually
im joking cx lol
MaxwellU 1 nintendo will never release the game girl
gocivic Gaming do you know how much money it cost
Alright Gameboy, your prison sentence is done
Jackson I have one
Jackson Gameboy Advance: What about me
Prison warden: I have to tell you thou, the world has changed.
Game Boy Color: I’ll take my chances. I’m sure game boys are still made today.
@@drugaming4595 I might get one
Take out that xbox one controller in the back and put up the box in its place! :)
Dude that's a great idea, done.
xbox one suck's anyways. XD
now you will know every time you watch any of his videos, you are the reason for that gameboy being up there.
Warlock315 I know pc is better
ILikeFryz i love you too
This is handheld gaming at its finest.
Bringing this to school back in the day trading, battling everyone and also showing people where to find stuff on the Pokemon games, especially Gold and Silver, they were really popular.
I remember fondly when I was the only person with Dragonite because Dratini was so shit, I don't think anyone had the patience to Level him up and evolve him to Dragonair. Once you evolved Dratini, the hard part was finished.
Some guy traded me a Mewtwo for a level 80 Azumarill.
I was the first to find Tyrogue and showed everyone where he was.
Everyone thought Crobat was obtained through trading Golbat.
The struggle of trading the likes of Kadabra, Machoke, Graveller, Scyther, Onix and having to trade them back!
The myth of the evolving Raichu.
God those were the days! I played them so much I can still name all Pokemon in the first two generations!! Take me back! I don't want to be a grown up peoples anymore!
Sadly this isn't possible anymore
WAIT!!!
YOU TRADED GAMEBOYS????
WTF!!!!!!
+John W To be honest, I get the same feeling you have experienced now when i play hearthstone with my friends at school.
At it's finest? Barely, haha.
rhouy22 Ok... 8 Bit graphics are "At it's finest"
WOW! I was maybe 6 or 7 years old with a gameboy and I miss it so much! I would take it everywhere and play Pokemon! It made me so happy and seeing this brings me much joy! I'm considering buying one as well. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Such good times :D
I just missed your time, and then came along the SEGA.
RS TechStudios I don't remember
RS TechStudios I don't haha
RS TechStudios it says url not found
I'm really curious on how much you bought that for?
63,738
*The feels Austin. The feels.*
Love this type of thing, really brings me back haha.
Does this thing really working..very rare
I saw a lot of unboxings, A LOT.
Samsung Galaxy s7 edge, iPhone 6S plus, ps4, xBox One, $5000 computers, ultrawide high resolution curved g-sync gaming ips monitors, etc.
But, never, NEVER I was that much excited about an unboxing. I'm too young to had a GameBoy when I was a child, and I'll love to have a new one just like Austin :D
Austin : I lost my intire Gameboy collection
Me : oh hey nice Gameboy Advance in the background
It kinda looks like cardboard my dude
It is a real game boy advance
The older days were much simpler I see.
2000: Kids playing Pokemon, having fun on Mario Kart, etc.
2015: Kids posting on snapchat, facebok, instagram, etc.
My friends and I still keep the Nintendo age alive for our school. We just won't give up on them, because they are the best to us! I wish I had one of these, it'd finish my collection.
AlphaLineGaming | Gaming, Reviews, and More! Same here man! One day I started bringing my DS lite to school and playing it on the bus, and now there's about fifteen kids on my bus that play Mariokart DS. :D
Nice!
AlphaLineGaming | Gaming, Reviews, and More! Only thing is that it's way too expensive with the latest nintendo products snivel ;( I wanted a simple 3DS pocket size. When dating back with the original and so on gameboy series it was cheap far as I remember.
AlphaLineGaming | Gaming, Reviews, and More! youtube
Me and my bestie both have 3DS for playing Pokémon..... And I hate Snap Chat.. but I like CZcams so yeah
This brought tears to my eyes...literally... made me think back to when I was a kid and my WHOLE Christmas was this single present! I was so excited and happy to get this.... I don't ever think about that day but this video definitely brought back memories...thanks for that Austin Evans
aww
***** Our school allowed us to use them but only at recess.
I read the +Austin Evans as a read more. Whoops
Seeing this unboxing sparks a crazy sense of nostalgia. Gosh the first gaming device I ever had as my very own!
Such a beautiful design. It never ceases to impress me.
this made me dig mine out and jam some pokemon red .
omegaweaponredux same here just I have blue 😂🤣
The nostolga is real my dude
I have all the first gen Pokémon games:
Red
Blue
Yellow
And Green
I would but I would either do red or Gold
omegaweaponredux i have the og one
27. February 2000 A young Norwegian boy with a glimmer in his eye and song in his heart receives a colourful present from his mother.
He tears off the stupid paper and marvel at the beauty.
"DET ER EN GAMEBOY COLOR!!!"
The excitement is almost too much to bear.
He opens up the box and pulls out the glorious artifact.
It's perfect.
It has purple transparent plastic, the edges are smooth, the buttons are easy on the thumbs.
But best of all, it's his.
Not only that, along with his new game system there is a cartridge with TRANSPARENT PLASTIC that says "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe".
With a smile on his face, the little boy inserts the cartridge, pushed the slidey-thing on the side.
And so it began.
This is just an awesome, cool, and exciting video. I would be like Austin if I were unboxing this. Keep making these awesome videos Austin!!!
Wow Austin what a great unboxing Also like your shirt its INTERESTING
nintendo needs to restart making game boys =]
Thing is people would buy them. Why not?
I still cal the nintendo DS a Gameboy. Because that is essentially what it is. :P
the DS and 3DS are technically gameboys
Or get a emulator on your phone...
***** HOW... PLEASE HELP ME WITH THAT IF YOU CAN!!!!!
I think you had more "wows" than a typical UnboxTherapy video.
Should have had the WOW counter!
Austin Evans yesss!
Austin Evans So much Wow Doge would be proud awsome video man!
Austin Evans How is your day now?
6 times
Is the Gameboy Color front lit or backlit? Or Like the toggled GBA SP 001 (Dark)
Gameboy colors will always be one of the most memorable gameboys!! Great video!
Great video Austin! I didn't even have a Gameboy color growing up, but you did such a great job of capturing the moment I almost felt like I got one myself. I could feel your excitement. That was great stuff, man.
Proof that it was better before... What do kids have theses days? Smartphones? Pfft... the Gameboy was actually good, because it had great games that were fun, instead of today's cheap-o games that are just plain stupid. Great video.
You're totally wrong. Now we have 3 handheld consoles - DS, 3DS and PSP. The PS Vita is a piece of shit so it doesn't count.
Also...emulators. You could play every game from the 2nd to the 5th generation on your cheap $100 smartphone.
If you want buttons, get yourself one of these:
goo.gl/H87uHI for another $20
and you're ready to go. Adjust the inflation and these two cost exactly as much as a GBC with one exception - you don't have to buy games.
Conclusion: Portable gaming has gotten a lot better and cheaper.
hristaki99 Emulators will never be as good as playing the games on the real deal though.
How is the vita a piece of shit?
hristaki99 Says the Vita's shit, plays the 3DS. No signs of logic found.
Your happiness feel contagious, by the way, nice t-shirt to make this unboxing
Nintendo needs to stop making DS and start bringing back the GameBoy for this generation. A GB that is more powerful than the psvita.
But gameboy developments are put to rest and DS is new.
What's the point of that? The DS is just the successor of the gameboy with a different name.
In november 11 their gonn a release a old console called the nes but its small with 30 pre installed games and it will go around to 60 us dollars. (not sponsered)
we're talking about gameboy. not NES, n00b.
Trey Henry why the f do i care
Man, I sure wish I was born back in the day. (I'm 13). My uncle said his friends would trade Pokemon in recess and trade games.. Now all we do at school is sneak Snapchats to each other. :( sigh.
I dont know about you but I still play Pokemon on a Nexus 7 because of emulators
***** You are still growing up, so enjoy what you have, sir.
It is SOOO frustrating that seemingly all good games are on consoles that came before us, Arcade games or sequels of one of both preceeding. Ps: I am 12
I had a Nintendo 64 :3
I still have my purple GBC and GBA sp and my SNES! Good times, good times... I also found a PS1 in great condition at a thrift store for like $12 and I still clean and wipe down my Xbox from 13 years ago. Hard to believe Xboxes are that old already. (I'm 18)
for a second i thought the batteries were fire works
ME TOO!
Might as well be, I'm sure you could hook up a fuse to those...
Videos like this are so refreshing because not everyone has one.
Got out my old GB Color "Grape", I bought it new around 98. It is in such perfect shape with everything still there (except batteries), that if I still had those original batteries you'd never know it wasn't sealed new. Not a scratch or fade on it. I even managed to keep the factory seal intact!
I trashed so many things as a kid, I'm glad that at some point I finally started cherishing what I had, and taking immaculate care of my stuff. lol ....I'm off to finally finishing that Zelda Links Awakening game I started like 17 years ago. Haha....
I remember I had the transparent Purple Game boy how I loved that thing.
u suck
Thats the one I have!
I currently HAVE a blue one
Alexander Seda You can play any gameboy game ever made on that! :)
I have an SP too. Charizard version.
Nintendo 64 club anyone? c:
Mine still works.
89krx I got two c:
89krx I was playing Mario kart Wednesday.
I used to have one. :'(
Where can I get one
I'm building one of these with a backlight mod but I'm wondering are the A/B buttons and D pad gray or black
I will never forget getting my Gameboy Color 20 years ago, first Nintendo product I ever owned! So much nostalgia.
You can call this a blast from the past
a FIRE BLAST from the past
Amirite?
You are my hero
PuLz Crusher plz
Is that hole on the side place to plug in your HDMI cable so you can project your Game Boy screen on the plasma 50 inch TV and enjoy in 4K resolution?
...
Yes! and if you put it in the fridge for a good 10 hours you can even display it at 12k, but for best results you gotta put it in the freezer
I think that's just for the link cable for multiplayer
no it's a micro sd slot capable of expanding up to 32 gb to put all your movies, music and games on it
Finally,a theme and everything i need for a video.Perfect video.
i wasn’t even born when the game boy color came out and i didn’t have one when i was younger and it feels nostalgic watching this
I have a dark green color that I traded a Beyblade for back in 2nd grade lol
good trade
Hahahahaahaha😂
Hahahaha Gameboy for a Beyblade. Beyblade took over the world xD
uwut m8 in de
Key blade
Put this in a glass container like your old iPod from the fire.
Brings back so many memories. My mom actually bought one for me and surprised me with it, I never knew how much she loved me as a child. I regret not appreciating her enough growing up, but mom I love you and thank you for everything you have done for me.
My first Austin Evans video that i watched
Where would you buy one of these for cheap I looked at eBay but where else
Amazon
Where can I buy this unboxed??
Bro I’m so happy for you. I remember my unboxing it was epic. I begged my mom for a gameboy on my bday and she said NO there’s no money for games! So I was bummed out and my mom told me “why don’t you go take a nap and we will go out to eat later for your bday” I went to my room all sad and depressed, layed on the pillow and there was something hard underneath it. I removed the pillow from the way and vuala! A brand new gameboy with 3 games and a huge pack of AA batteries, I want to re- live that feeling someday....
Guilty! I remember sneaking Game Boy into school! When the pocket, and the color came out I was SOO happy about it!
Wow, what an incredibly advanced piece of technology! I can't believe Austin got something so new and powerful just like that! The Galaxy S5 is no match for this powerful machine.
Carpe Diem
ever heard of sarcasm m8?
:/ youre getting haters from using sarcasm... this is why we DONT use sarcasm on the internets
#nosarcasm2014
ekko26xile Yeah, I probably should've learned by now...
georgyorgy2 Wow, you're a loser. Have fun getting nowhere in life. Sarcasm is funny if it's played right. You are not funny at all.
EverettGaming
Yeah, I'll take any tips you have on being funny because your original sarcastic comment was hilarious...
I'm getting the limited edition yellow Pokemon Game Boy Color for Christmas!
I got it already
LPSMintChocolateChip lol how much is it?, im struggling to just save for the regular version XD, and the pokemon games are so expensive, found one website lukiegames, that's the cheapest price i've seen so far
Joaquinjr106 wow dude how much is it? I am going to buy a gameboy color for 10€ and the game for 5€ :p
at the website and the store in Florida, US, its between 50 to 60 dollars, around 50 euros
Robbe Smet lol, flash forward two years later, I've gotten all my retro stuff at this site called Mercari, 35-40 bucks for a gameboy color and at times they have some games, great prices, even got an iPad Pro for a great price bought a lot of stuff there
Where can I buy gba sp or any gameboy models for a cheap price? They are very expensive on amazon and ebay.
never seen a dude so excited for a game boy color ..:)
+Kimsea Chea It's obviously a child trapped in an older man's body. lol
nostalgia here we come.
Just got me a "like new" game boy color myself. Haven't touched one in like 15 years. Been playing game and watch gallery 3. I had the second one when I was younger and now after all these years I can play the third one. Such a fun little system.
Beautiful!! I never had a GBC and i remember see it in a showcase for sale when i was 13 or 14 years old! Now i'm 32
That's the exact color I had growing up.
...so?
me too. still have mines and still works. :D
I have a kiwi gbc that was mint no scratches, no dents, the labels are still perfect, everything and as I was getting out of my car today it fell out of my pocket on the concrete drive way and got some dinks in it nothing bad or even noticeable but it's not perfect anymore like it was 😪
+Matt i brought my used one to school a couple of years ago and fUCKING LOST IT I HATE MYSELF
+Melanie Marshall some kid picked it up before i could get it back i hope they're happy
I still have my turquoise gameboy that turns 19 years old this Christmas. I had given it up for broken but I still kept it as a reminder and relic. Today I managed to get it to power on and damn near cried. I’ll be rebuying Pokémon blue for it and taking a huge step back in time.
austin im so sorry for your loss, your collection was so big.
I actually was in the expectancy during the whole video for him to turn the game boy on and play some stuff on it =(
Fun fact: Each letter of the word COLOR represents the actual colors of one of the GBCs.
C- Red
O- Blue
L- Green (what you have)
O- Yellow
R- Dark Green
does a gameboy color have any original games instead of remakes of game&watch or arcade games?
nostalgia itch has been scratched, arigathanks austin
im gonna go buy a Nintendo 3Ds and save it for 15 years and then sell it for $10000
Good luck with 10k you'd be luck to get 500
*****
Well $10,000 could be worth only $500 15 years from now if inflation gets out of control.
would suck if the apocalypse happens, or if the market inevitably crashes lol.
get a ouya instead, they'll be way more rare in 15 years, and a boxed one will be worth a shit ton for collectors
Wouldnt work ! As tech now adays is MASS made ! Compared to before !
you look like that kid in my class that's always getting into my business and reporting me...
General OFG found the nerd*
Where did he buy those shelves at can any tell me or does anyone know?
where can i get one of those in back where he has the controllers on the wall??
if you play this video backwards, it will be about a guy boxing his GameBoy. -10/10
XD
Why did you open it omg
I remember playing the original non-color gameboy for hours and hours EVERY SINGLE DAY and for that years Christmas I asked for a gameboy color. Every year I would find all my presents before Christmas no matter where my parents hid them. I wanted that gameboy so bad but after searching through all my presents it wasn't there and I felt sad. So when Christmas came around and after opening some presents I found a box I didn't recognize. So I went straight for it and you can imagine how happy I was when I tore back that wrapping paper and saw the atomic purple gameboy color I wanted more than anything in the world! I didn't even want to open the rest of my gifts. I just started playing it. That is the best Christmas I've ever had! I think I might buy one just to play it again and put on a shelf so I can see it everyday.
hey is the new gameboy color got a better screen like brighter cause i am buying a new game boy color.
I know the feeling! i managed to track down a factory sealed atomic purple GBC at a flea market for about 70$ i had my original stolen ages ago, i was so happy!
Awesome find!
Happy about it being stolen or you finding another one
Yea I have that too
punisher5433 Touché. Happy i found an other one!
here we've got the game boy color manual... in black and white
How is the battery life for this? Please answer I really don't want to play but then the battery runs out.
How much did the thing cost? I am assuming it wa a large amount
SO HIGH TECH OMG. 1337mhz processor?
No sir, it's got a whopping 8MHz CPU. Double the RAW POWER compared to the original Game Boy.
Austin Evans and 16kb of vram. More than the memory I have left on my phone.
Austin Evans and 16kb of vram. More than the memory I have left on my phone.
Austin Evans That's pretty 420Blazing fast.
the nerdgasm in the video is so real
I had this exact Gamenoy Color when I was a kid. Still own it, although the battery cover broke ad got lost a long time ago. This is just amazing to see, a brand new one.
+Roby599 You could get a brand new battery cover on eBay and Amazon.
+Roby599 Yea, the clip that holds the cover in place broke off mine but luckily I didn't lose it, so I just hold it in place with a small piece of scotch tape.
I have such a soft spot for the Gameboy Colour, it’s such a gorgeous system
Where the hell did you find this?
The Lone Wolfe eBay probably or he contact with Nintendo
Yea I still break out the old Teal Gameboy Color and play Pokemon Blue or Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages for the nostalgic sentimental feeling it gives me. I still have the attachable light for it too!
That is also the exactly batteries I had when I purchase my gameboy, maxell?haha..good stuff! I really enjoy this video
Where can I buy those wall frames he has in the background ?
omg I thought he was gonna cry XP
WHY DID YOU OPEN THE BOX?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
This is an "unboxing" video.
ZethuX GOTTEEEMMMMM
Calm down Sheldon !
gameboys were meant to be played not kept in some box! plus the battery acid damage would have eventually ruined the gameboy and made it worthless
1) it doesn't come with batteries inside
2) battery acid isn't that big a deal. Repairable
3) this game boy would sell for 500$+ dollars he just opened it making it worked 100--150$
I have a factory sealed gameboy color can someone tell me how much i could get for it or should i hold on to it??
in 2024 this video is extremely valuable information in seeing exactly how Nintendo originally packed these and what inserts came with it. That stuff has become a big part of resale value in today's market.
i got a game boy advance SP when I was 9, in 2005
I got my gameboy advanced sp when I was 5 in 2005 that was probably the happiest day in my life because thats when I played my first ever video game.
st0rm cool, my first video game console was Brick Game, then I had a nintendo 64 and after the gameboy advance sp.
I got an sp as the first system that was fully mine in 2004. I was 7.
Can you run destiny on that?
I been taking a trip down memory lane on youtube all day. Finally found my gameboy color, and still wish I had the lime green one. 😂. The good times
Can I get a link to the seller of that particular gameboy because Nintendo doesn't give you the box I think
0:40 when your old teachers watch this: THEY DID WHAT?? HOW DARE THEY SNEAK THIS TO SCHOOl. XD
I dont think a teacher (Unless they like Nintendo) Would come to a Gameboy Color Unboxing.
Okey Ness It was a joke.
