Is that the same as Washington axe? Incase you you never heard the question if you had washingtons axe and replaced the handle or top is it still Washington axe?
The allure of these gameboys for me is, that they are a product of their time. When swapping the internals, it isn't the one from back then anymore. Obviously there are levels to how authentic it needs to be. Changing the polarizing foil is fine, swapping the motherboard with one from another ANA would probably also be ok. Sure, the only thing custom is the front plate, but we don't collect front plates, but game boys, so the rest must have some significance as well, right?
Elliot, I genuinely love all your videos... But, man, is it good to see a restoration vid again! By far my favorite videos you post. Thanks for the great content!
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@@bonehand87 You sure about that? In all the commercials I can find (both Japanese and English-language) they spell it out. ruclips.net/video/UVRrL-KY3qc/видео.html for example
1:03 it's Spanish. Also the language of Brazil is Portuguese. I really love seeing all the different editions you keep finding, never imagined they made so many!
It seems Japanese companies loved making exclusive promotional products for company employees. Hell, Nintendo once made a special white version of their Color Game 6 for Toyota (I think)
@@ionstorm66 the way it was explained to me was that the NES and the Game Boy were so ubiquitous in Japanese society that they were basically seen as "default" devices everyone had (like how today we assume everyone has a phone, laptop/computer, microwave, etc). So it was seen as something everyone would use and it was more fun than doing their own version of a camera or something.
Happy pocket screens are finally popping up on ebay. i need a couple for my GameBoy Pockets but couldn't find any without harvesting them from other gameboys.
Pretty sure they've teamed up with airlines several times, they've made systems specifically for plane ( i don't mean a brand new console, I mean versions of existing ones or controllers) wasnt the ique thing originally made for planes?
Bought an original GBA with the same button problems a couple of years ago. Chrome cleaner does an amazing job at making even badly corroded contacts fully functional again.
I recently found your channel. Been binging your videos and today I decided to just go and buy a broken Gameboy pocket for 30€ and I'll try to restore it. Cheers.
What I do, which seems to work very well, is I will use a q-tip soaked with IPA and rub it onto the contacts of a random gameboy game (nothing super important) and will repeatedly insert it into the slot. It tends to clean up both the slot and the cartridge itself pretty well. Makes games that won’t read work just fine. This also works with Nintendo DS games
I had a box of official NES cleaning kits, they were basically the same as a game boy one (well different cartridge obviouly) as in it had that stick with pads on both ends.
i bought a Gameboy pocket years ago that i packed away & forgot all about it. until i was looking thru my boxes of stuff & found it & it has the same burned-out screen as the one you showed
ANAs done a ton of promotional stuff with pokemon, made promo cards and airplanes complete with pokemon decals n such. i own a model plane from it. never knew they collabed on a gameboy tho super cool!
Personally the only time I'd have an issue with replacing original parts in a rare Gameboy, is if you were intending to flip it and were dishonest during sale, eg. "Perfect, all original parts" etc. But when it's for your own collection, its nice to have it working rather than in poor condition or dead MB, screen and so on.
Hey Elliot, thanks for restoration videos, it's been useful for me, having restored my Game Boy Pocket and Colour back to a nice state. Could you offer any advice on how to align the Pocket screens properly? I've found a lot of wiggle room in mine, maybe because it's an aftermarket case.
1:02 as a brazilian i can tell you that this box is not from Brazil. The word “precio” (here it’s “preço”) looks like an italian or a spanish word (btw the box says Special Price) greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️🇬🇧
Great content as per, but like... you fixed the mobo and (mostly fixed the screen) I 100% get the screen reasoning but why did you put the OG motherboard in the hello kitty case rather than the one you ended up putting in the case in the vid xD

That is a thing of beauty. Love the colour.
No that’s a pocket, the color is a different product
Stupid he likes the color of it
Aide Fcv the real idiot is the one one who misunderstood the joke 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

@@BigMacSoss I don't understand your question. Try writing it in English. Thanks.
The replaced motherboard does not affect the value, if the original motherboard is kept, and is sold along with the repaired unit.

@James Schappert What if all the ANA boards have a specific serial number on it? Like an A at the front or whatever. Would that change things for you?

Elliot, I genuinely love all your videos...
But, man, is it good to see a restoration vid again! By far my favorite videos you post. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you!
they’re so great. maybe it has to do with the feeling of “i fixed this gameboy, and you can too”
"This is a European packaging, this one looks Brazilian" xD
Yes I just commented on that as well xD João Ramos that looks Portuguese. Certo?
engraçado... eles nunca pensão q possa ser português de Portugal.
16:23 That Tetris gameplay gives me anxiety!
This is legitimately some banging content - Big Up Eliott
Thanks dude!
Wait, you're restoring a gameboy?
This is impossible, nothing bad could happen to a gameboy

There was a bunch of bots here, I presume.
i know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??

@Avi Connor instablaster =)
"ANA" is not said like a name, but the individual letters, A N A. It's short for "All Nippon Airways."
Also, there is no Brazilian language... they speak Portuguese
In Japan it is pronounced ANA all as one word though.
@@bonehand87 You sure about that? In all the commercials I can find (both Japanese and English-language) they spell it out. ruclips.net/video/UVRrL-KY3qc/видео.html for example
fluffy it’s abbreviated in the commercials but typically people tend to just say ANA since it is easier and quicker to say in Japanese.
@@bonehand87 Interesting. But do they pronounce it like Elliot did or do they say it like "aynay" or something like that?
Gotta love those ultra close up shots during cleaning and restoration.
I’m a simple man. I see Retro Future video? I click
I’ve been binging your repair videos on rare handhelds and I absolutely love them. Please keep doing this!! I will be watching
"Brazilian" is not a language, we speak portuguese, fun fact, chines is also not a language chinese people speak mandarin and cantonese
I think he means that it was a box from Brazil, a "Brazilian" box, or maybe i misunderstood haha but yes, Brazilian it's not a language:'c
Mandarin and Cantonese are forms of the Chinese language, so they are different kinds of Chinese
You big brain
@@bookishaxis123 I agree with you
in what he meant.
acho que ele tava falando que a caixa era brasileira e não o “preço especial” kkkkkkkk
Classic. Youve done a hundred of these videos but theyre always super satisfying to watch.
the battery contact on the board, especially the spring is still pretty much corroded, you can see it at 10:53
Dude another freaking amazing video! Dude keep up the phenomenal work and content!
1:03 it's Spanish. Also the language of Brazil is Portuguese.
I really love seeing all the different editions you keep finding, never imagined they made so many!
A classic Elliot resto vid. Love the music montage. So relaxing!
Now restore a gamecock
A what?!
@@cammie0105 You didn't watch his other videos, did you?
lol you said cock
I guess you could say that the Retro Future is “ANA” roll lately 😂👍
You beat me to the joke. Congratulations.
loving the video so far elliot!!
Use the glasses lens scratch repair kit "pencils" or "crayons" on the scratched screens. It'll "erase" 90% of those scratches...
dropping the smaller things behind that shelf,,,,, 100% relatable and something I would do. props to you for not reshooting that out of shame 😅
The green one is from Spain. Greatings from Galicia, Spain
Seriously in love with your channel! You legit got me interested in gameboys again!
Glad to see another gameboy restoration love them way to much
Oh those crystal clear cases 🤤.... why hasn’t anyone made them yet for retro consoles?!
You are good at showing people how to take things apart.
Always nice to see another restoration video. Have you ever considered expanding into doing the same for consoles, as well?
Where were the nice Hard Cases when I was Playing with my Gameboy / Pocket?
It seems Japanese companies loved making exclusive promotional products for company employees. Hell, Nintendo once made a special white version of their Color Game 6 for Toyota (I think)
@@gluttonousmaximus9048 He mentions it in the video, its the left most, and first one he names.
@@ionstorm66 the way it was explained to me was that the NES and the Game Boy were so ubiquitous in Japanese society that they were basically seen as "default" devices everyone had (like how today we assume everyone has a phone, laptop/computer, microwave, etc).

@@ionstorm66 I think the Color Game 6 is a Pong type game system Nintendo made in the 70's.
Happy pocket screens are finally popping up on ebay. i need a couple for my GameBoy Pockets but couldn't find any without harvesting them from other gameboys.
It is rather remarkable how many variations there are of not only the original game boy but the pocket, color etc.
My daily dosage of satisfying Gameboy refurbing
That thing is really nice, the blue is lovely. I bought for myself the GBC version a while back.
So Satisfying! Thanks Elliott! :-D
That’s a Beautiful Gameboy
Love your vids mate! I can’t believe that an airline company teamed up with Nintendo! The things they do huh...
Pretty sure they've teamed up with airlines several times, they've made systems specifically for plane ( i don't mean a brand new console, I mean versions of existing ones or controllers) wasnt the ique thing originally made for planes?
@Comrade i thought it was on planes too?
Loved the lo-fi montage, one of my faves. Really soothing
Bought an original GBA with the same button problems a couple of years ago. Chrome cleaner does an amazing job at making even badly corroded contacts fully functional again.
Woah this looks nice
And nice in the internals and like the parts they look really nice to look at
just started watching your videos since i've been thinking about collecting, so cool!
I recently found your channel. Been binging your videos and today I decided to just go and buy a broken Gameboy pocket for 30€ and I'll try to restore it. Cheers.
A beautiful looking Gameboy Pocket. I love the translucent blue
Always enjoy these restoration videos.
Changing the contrast on the burnt screen is trippy
I saw the ANA Airlines one being sold for 500 at a retro games store
I wish it wasnt just Japan that got really cool exclusive products...
10:53 so much corrosion still on that battery contact!
The Gameboy Boy back at it again.
I wish he did a video of his watch collection. He always seem to have an interesting watch on his wrist.
What I do, which seems to work very well, is I will use a q-tip soaked with IPA and rub it onto the contacts of a random gameboy game (nothing super important) and will repeatedly insert it into the slot. It tends to clean up both the slot and the cartridge itself pretty well. Makes games that won’t read work just fine. This also works with Nintendo DS games
Love all the videos, man! Maybe you can do one going over all of the limited edition game boys that came out? I think it would be entertaining!
I have a GBC of ANA, it's also clear blue.
I had a box of official NES cleaning kits, they were basically the same as a game boy one (well different cartridge obviouly) as in it had that stick with pads on both ends.
I come for the video repair and history. I stay for the music.
Man, the blue is absolutely gorgeous.
I see you're wearing the Seiko Timemeter watch from you other video, nice!
I had one of these game and gameboy cleaners in Canada as a kid, such a handy tool
Understand the display swap but should have left the original motherboard in it esp as it was working
Awesome video as always, dude. My envy for your rare Game Boy collection just keeps growing.
Totally the best looking gameboy that I have seen, the THE RETRO FUTURE GBA is also good :)
This GB is so dope!
Even though I'm 28, when I grow up I want to be like you :)
i bought a Gameboy pocket years ago that i packed away & forgot all about it. until i was looking thru my boxes of stuff & found it & it has the same burned-out screen as the one you showed
11:26 WTF is the BIOS is corrupted?
ANAs done a ton of promotional stuff with pokemon, made promo cards and airplanes complete with pokemon decals n such. i own a model plane from it. never knew they collabed on a gameboy tho super cool!
All Nippon Airways for anyone curious..
Love those GameBoy boxes
I flew with them in 2017 and 2018 to Japan and Vietnam. I highly recommend them.
Sick looking gameboy
The US GB cleaner is virtually identical to the JPN one. Minus the US box being the same size as the US GB boxes. And the cart lable.
i litterally saw one like this for sale in a local buy and sell groupd cib for 600 bucks
The extended gameboy cart should of had two carts in it so you could flip it around for even more games
The nostalgia is pretty high i can say.
I hope you bought the Retroid Pocket 2 for review.... Is insane!!
imagine getting an ANA ad for no reason
on this video
The Washy Wash Tunes are so Relaxing!
Nice video 👍😊
I will not lie, the fact that you haven't cleaned the verdigris from the battery contacts gave me the shivers.
I firmly believe before you're done you'll have one of every GameBoy, GBA, DS and 3DS variant ever made.
Looks cool
Elliot makes another video, I end up buying another GameBoy.
You need to knock it off buddy I'm going broke.
Hey!! It looks good
Hi I love your videos
I missed your moding and restoration videos
Gorgeous color
BOOM! Tetris for Jeff!
Plot twist: Elliot uses his personal toothbrush for the cleaning process 👀
All nippon airlines did a lot of stuff with Nintendo latest thing they did with ANA was the Boeing 747-400 pokemon livery jets
Wow that is so awesome and cool😎
Personally the only time I'd have an issue with replacing original parts in a rare Gameboy, is if you were intending to flip it and were dishonest during sale, eg. "Perfect, all original parts" etc. But when it's for your own collection, its nice to have it working rather than in poor condition or dead MB, screen and so on.
Hey Elliot, thanks for restoration videos, it's been useful for me, having restored my Game Boy Pocket and Colour back to a nice state.
Could you offer any advice on how to align the Pocket screens properly? I've found a lot of wiggle room in mine, maybe because it's an aftermarket case.
gorgeous!
Lucky it came with the battery cover 😅
Sure was!
1:02 as a brazilian i can tell you that this box is not from Brazil. The word “precio” (here it’s “preço”) looks like an italian or a spanish word
(btw the box says Special Price)
greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️🇬🇧
Great content as per, but like... you fixed the mobo and (mostly fixed the screen) I 100% get the screen reasoning but why did you put the OG motherboard in the hello kitty case rather than the one you ended up putting in the case in the vid xD
Because the motherboard’s silk screen was peeing off because it’s been corroded. And as this is a see through GameBoy I didn’t want to see it.
@@TheRetroFuture that's a fair comment thanks for the reply man
hey, thats beautiful
those clear cases cover up the game boys and are full of scratches
You should get an ultrasonic (jewelry) cleaner for speaker and motherboard :)
The box doesn't come from Brazil since 'precio especial' it's spanish so...
