#Nintendo #Gameboy
If you think about it, The Super Gameboy was the Nintendo Switch of the 90's... I would play Pokemon on the go and come home from school and continue playing the games on the big screen! Good times
That's what I was telling ppl since the Switch release & many still were like no they copied Sony?...😂😂😂😂
no its not.
SGB requires you to own a home console & a gameboy game, wanna play on the go? also need a GB...
if you could dock your gb inside, I'd agree.
@@MusharnaMushI think he is saying that in the sense that he could play on the handheld and was able to play it on his TV screen, when looking at it, it was quite revolutionary for its time…and kinda paved the way Nintendo would go with the Switch, because this manner of playing these GB games stayed until the Wii was released.
@@Yarlick And the Gameboy Player accessory for the Gamecube.
@@user-pe7up5od7i Which is what I'm referring to. The Super Gameboy was a Gameboy, the same way the Gameboy player is actually a GBA inside it.
But all of that has been lost with the Wii...
My OG 1989 GameBoy, that I bought with my own $ when I was 12, still works. Some of my favorite games and memories were from that thing. My nephews have it now. 😊
I still have mine from back in the day ☺️
Your Gameboy and I are 34 this year... How the time flys lol
@@jr2904 I just turned 35 this July lol
I ate mine😭😭
I unfortunately gave mine to a friend, but still got my Gameboy color teal.
Nintendo: The Gameboy Color is just a variation of the Gameboy.
Also Nintendo: You can’t play Gameboy Color on your Super Gameboy.
The enhanced GB carts such as link's awakening DX, pokemon yellow, gold and silver contain unique borders for the super gameboy as well as enhanced color palettes to my understanding...very cool stuff, mine was used frequently to play pokemon on the big screen as well. Good times!
Got fond memories of playing Wario Blast with friends on the Super Gameboy. It was the only way to access the multi-player mode which was basically just Bomberman on the Gameboy, which was just stupid fun. Beyond that I can't think of any other games that were mainly designed as 1-player games, which the Super Gameboy enabled you to play with friends.
Great video. Keep it up!
The very first time I got to experience pokémon Red was in 1998 on my super game boy. I wouldn't get a game boy color until my birthday a few months later. I absolutely loved the super game boy. All the borders and possibilities with all the different games that I had. Fun times
It’s mad how successful the GBA was since it was Nintendo’s primary handheld for the quarter of the time of its predecessor.
That was my favourite gameboy
@ChefRengar backwards compatibility was great with gb and gbc. I feel the 2ds or ds were nice with that too (3ds loses 3d in twilight, and we got VR now, so 2ds is better). Let alone mods/r4 on stupid systems.
The SGB2 is definitely a neat way to play your Game Boy games. I recall accidentally finding out you can switch the color of the "Game Boy case" border and being super confused; I thought at first it was based on what game I was playing. Also a cool feature of the SGB2 (and maybe the original SGB) is if you have the special controller for it there is a macro button that could be pressed to either slow down or speed up gameplay (similar to the speed multiplier on the Pokémon Stadium GB).
A feature lost to time on a game that millions get to experience for the first time ever this year
I've got a Super GameBoy 2, but I put it into a US Super GameBoy shell cause I didn't wanna clip the tabs inside my SNES. I put a little hole in the side to be able to use the link port, and my friend 3D printed a color matched cover for the hole. It's a cool and unique piece for my collection. lol
You would think the Super Gameboy 2 would’ve had a Gameboy Color chipset in it, would’ve made more sense than just sticking with original Gameboy hardware.
I still have mine but it’s the 1st one I mainly played Pokémon, Yugioh, Mario games, pretty much all of them.
I had a SGB that came packed with the SNES when my mom bought it for me. Used it here and there. No idea a SGB2 was ever released so that's actually pretty cool.
Only in Japan man :(
3:38 I think it also allow people to make bootleg or knockoff games or something similar because it requires on the og GB’s for the Nintendo logo to scroll down
I bought the SGB2 from a comics shop in Adelaide in 2017!
BTW, the SGB2 can play multi-compatible GBC games (in black) but there's a catch, depending on whichever GB unit you've used, the save files are NOT interchangeable with each other.
If you boot up Wario Land 2 for instance, you are prompted to erase the save-state and start over from the very beginning.
So if you let a friend borrow it, don't ever expect your hard work back!
My favorite memory to this day was back in my junior year of highschool, a friend had brought his Super Boy snes to class and I brought my Super Gameboy with Pokémon Blue and ended up playing Pokémon in the most obtuse way we could
Remember playing Pokémon Red a lot on the OG Super Game Boy in a small little room, as a kid. Good times.
i always found it strange as a kid playing pokemone blue on my tv because all my friends would have the gameboy and didn't believe it could be put on the tv with the snes but was funny seeing my friends react to playing pac man and space invaders along with mario land on the big screen
My friend lent me the Super Gameboy for a long stretch, and yes, I only played Pokémon (both Blue and Red) during my time with it.
I can never figure out why Nintendo decided to make the gbc screen so small when they already had a revision with a bigger screen with the Gameboy pocket
Donkey Kong "94" was my goto Super Game Boy game.
Blows my mind that we have no way to play Pokémon gen 1-3 on switch it doesn’t have to be on switch online release them in a collection or separately on the eshop
I played a lot of Donkey Kong Land 1 & 2 on the Super Game Boy. Those games were horrible to play on a DMG Game Boy because of the ghosting. Today I fired up my Mister and played around with the Super Game Boy core. 👍
4:37 No can't it was, when stadium came for the N64, I played red & blue on the gb tower it was even better with the dodrio speed up option, happy days
Well, nearly everyone in Europe had/has one of these, I don' think people forgot about them.
3:27 Awesome to see The Retro Future here. My first thought was...I know this and then I saw the source
This was before my time, however, I played pokemon blue religiously as a child, now as an adult I just got a super game boy and will be now playing them on my trinitron crt! It's the way to play these games!
My favorite game was my Link's Awakening for ages, and it saw the most play on my SGB. I didn't play Pokemon on it as much, I took that to school with me to trade with my friends.
I remember the Super Game Boy helping me tons on Pokemon Red Version. I was stuck in a dark cave for weeks and playing on my cousins tv helped me actually be able to see what I was doing. I don't think I even had a light for the Game Boy Color at the time lol
I put my Gameboy camera in it which made it kinda like a webcam for my snes.
The speedier Super Gameboy player coupled with the euro only Konami GB Collection with Castlevania: The Adventure which was also sped up, might just make the game playable.
I don't recall the SUPER Game boy 2 EVER leaving Japan though I did play games on the SNES using the Super Game boy (1).
I had my SGB2 in my hand when this vid went live. It’s a good device to have. Great vid.
Sir you got my like for nintendo past time history; cheers. When the littlest relevent extra details compel your youth... unforgettable
Pretty sure the expansion pack attachment that came with Pokemon stadium could run most games. I was stoked to play on a picture tube TV 😂
Rolling with that colored cartridge let other kids know you're a g and down for a battle or trade.
The SGB was one of my most played SNES games. I loved being able to play Link’s Awakening on the big screen.
I have one hooked up with an Everdrive X7. It’s perfect for a quick break from work, and with save states it even remembers my Tetris hish scores!
I have a Super GameBoy. I mostly used it for the games that I already owned, but did go out and buy some Super GameBoy specific titles for the special features, like DK 94, Space Invaders with the built-in Super Nintendo version of the game, Killer Instinct with the built-in 2 player mode with SNES controllers, etc. Primarily for me, I used it for grinding for rupees in Link's Awakening at the Crane game (for buying the Bow early in the game, and not stealing it) instead of wasting my batteries in my GameBoy.
I used to have a Super GameBoy back in the day, but I sold it when I was in college. Two decades later I bought the Super GameBoy 2 and I love it. Being able to play Tetris multiplayer with a Gameboy is pretty amazing. And funny.
Yup played a lot of Pokemon with my friends using the Super Gameboy.But I could swear we played Crystal on it too?
Despite it running faster some things actually performed slower I noticed in Pokemon like menuing during battles. I think this is why sgb was never really used, it might run faster but some stuff ended up slower. There's no reason the OG sgb should've ever been banned since it was official
It's all about that modded Famicom they had in Asia that emulated a ton of games at the time (early 90's.)
The Super Gameboy was definitely a novel idea at the time. I remeber playing it quite a bit with it not requring batteries. Could actually see what i was doing in metroid lol. But yeah i mostly played pokemon.
definitely a bummer Nintendo wasn't really able to get the ds and wii to do anything together. Even more disapointing with 3ds and wii u. Wii u literally had touch screen controller.
Unrelated - you should cover pixel FX’s new retro gem mod it’s a PCB mod which enables your retro consoles N64, DC, PS1/PS2 and even GameCube and Xbox to scale up to 1440p.
If some people weren't aware SGB2 was even manufactured and released then it can't be 'Forgotten', I wasn't aware.
If you want to use the super gameboy 2 on a north american snes you just have to cut 2 things inside your snes port where the cart goes in and you can play any super famicom on your snes
Never had the fortune of owning a SNES or SGB, but luckily a friend did. The first time I beat the Elite Four was on their SGB and I'll never forget it.
Never owned a Super Gameboy until I started collecting Super Famicom Games around 2016. Bought one so I could play my Gameboy collection from childhood along with a few Japanese Exclusives I picked up at the same time. Sadly it was shortly after I bought a Super Gameboy that I learned about Super Gameboy 2 & the fact you could hook up two of them together to play 2-Player Gameboy Games on the TV against another person as long as you had two SNES/Super Famicoms & two Super Gameboy 2’s.
It's so weird that I saw this in a a Japan secondhand shop yesterday and I wondered what SuperGameBoy2 was. So thanks!
That translucent plastic starts to fall apart after a while
it was my pokemon machine for sure but I asked for the super gameboy for xmas a few years prior because of link's awakening.
the thing about the GameBoy was that when it released, i was only a toddler...so my parents Did get me one, but it was more of a 'throw it all at the wall, see what sticks' kind of move-- i had Tetris and Lion King, before Pokemon completely took over...because of this, i was more likely to play an ACTUAL SuperNintendo game on my SNES (there was one day, when i found the Level Skip cheat for Lion King)...then by the time Pokemon was officially 'here', i already had an N64...i MIGHT have played a session or two on the SuperGB, but eventually my SNES as a whole was 'retired' once i had the N64, especially since i had a GBColor now (for Pokemon Gen1 and 2, and Nothing Else) and the SuperGB couldnt play Color games...
all in all, though, i was really impressed at How each generation was able to play its Handheld titles on a Console-- from the SuperGB to the Pokemon Transfer Pak to the Gamecube's GBA-Player-- and now weve come full-circle with the WiiU basically able to completely emulate the DS's two screens, or with the SwitchOnline libraries for GB/C/A games...
...but yeah, the only thing id change about the Switch is to make the GameBoy library into a 'SuperGB library', so you can change/doodle on the Borders again...
i played a lot of games on the super Gameboy before i even got into Pokémon and really didn't even play Pokémon on my tv until Pokémon Stadium with the transfer pack which i loved but i remember playing final fantasy on the SGB as well as Kirby's dreamland a lot
I use to have a Super Gameboy. Absolutely loved it when I was a kid playing a game on my Gameboy on the road amd getting home to throw it on my SNES
Donkey Kong '94, which was the first game designed with the SGB in mind. My all time favorite GB game.
I had a NES growing up that we got from our older cousins but I've never had a SNES and I've always wanted one. Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, and Smash TV are such great SNES games!
I totally forgot about that border paint program, spent quite some time in there :D
It is weird that Super Game Boy 2 never got a US release. But I suppose it's probably because by then, maybe the US market was already moving on to the N64 so Nintendo of America probably opted not to release it.
A cartridge with a cartridge slot. Cartridgeception. I never had one and didn't use it as a Pokémon machine.
Yea the pokemon cart only really left my gameboy occasionally for mario land 2 or links awakening.
Ohhhh these old adverts were the best xD why don't we get these anymore? XD
My Super Game Boy was/is my Donkey Kong 94 + Link's Awakening machine. It even advances the sound and graphics on some of the games. DK94 especially.
I loved the Super GameBoy and later on the GameBoy Player.
Playing my GameBoy games on the big screen was fun as heck!
Pokêmon however? I actually played that via Stadium for the most part despite the terrible loading times.
Nowadays I like the Retroad 5 Plus with the GB/GBC Extension Converter. It's not perfect but plays Gameboy Color with no extra wires. No link though unfortunately. Ali-Express has them.
I used the Transfer Pak that came with Pokemon Stadium to play my Pokemon games. I only rented the Super Gameboy from Blockbuster, which is a bit odd since it wasn't a game itself.
Nice to hear someone else call something a POKEMON MACHINE.
Honestly outside of N64, I’ve mostly owned my Nintendo devices because of pokemon.
there is actually a mister fpga core that has a toggle for all types of sgb
Loved the super Gameboy I used to play Pokemon red on it, got all the Pokemon and beat it only on the super Gameboy ... it was amazing...
I have the super game boy and it was fun to play all my game boy games on the TV
I have one! I cannot remember specifically why I got it, since I already had a Super Game Boy 1. Probably just 'cause it's neat.
I got the SGB1 near lauch, along with Donkey Kong '94. An amazing example of what the SGB could do. A shame that SGB has never been emulated by Nintendo. I assume there's some licensing issue with Hori, who helped make the devices.
Not forgotten and beloved
Super Game Boy was one of my favorite peripherals of all time. Really wish the Game Boy Player on Game Cube would have had more customization and have access to the Super Game Boy borders and color schemes for the games that utilized it like Donkey Kong and Pokemon Blue/Red.
You say that the gameboy was basically made for the Pokemon but it's sad that they won't put them on the switch
Extremely important question: Does soldering the SGB chip onto a GB also allow us to also hear Daisy say "HAAAYLP HAAAYLP!" in Donkey Kong '94? ...or hear any of the SGB specific music through GB speakers?
No. The CPU is the same as what's in the handheld, aside from the lack of a boot logo. However, the SGB-enhanced games are not limited to using the SGB's embedded Game Boy hardware, they can take advantage of the SNES's capabilities as well. (To a limited extent.)
Main reson: it plays games at the correct frame rate
I have a Super Gameboy AND a Super Gameboy 2, you can use a SFC(Super Famicom in the USA as well (I do)! But I got to actually USE my SGB2! I didn't know about the new borders! 😮😮🤯🤯 good review of it though! 👍🏻👍🏻
How did they programmed Pokémon Red so the HP bar have accurate colors and the sprites too while it was an original GameBoy game??
Well now I have to know; did anyone use a link cable between two SGB2 SNES systems?
Would you have any info on the N64 game boy player? I saw it at a pokémon tournament at my local mall and I've never seen it since
TECHNICALLY
Some of these games take up about 100 GB. I don't see it happening on a phone how they are today.
had a game boy player - it was awesome for trading pokemon with friends
I'm positive I still have my super gameboy. Used it alot. From playing Pokemon to that Kirby Tetris game. Makes me wish I got the gameboy advance players for the Gamecube. Plus, it makes me wonder if the WiiU actually did well commercially, could we have gotten a DS/3DS Player attachment for the console?
Super Game Boy 2 was sold in America. You can only get it through Nintendo Power
I hadn't forgotten about my Super Game Boy 2.
I had other Gameboy games, but they paled in comparison to the scope of pokemon so I never needed to have any other games in my super Gameboy. Of course, I had other Gameboys for trading. Interestingly, I first used the link cable for non-pokemon games for the first time last year with Tetris with a friend.
To be fair, i had a link cable for both my gb color and my gba, and i only ever used it for pokemon trades and vs battles on advanced wars and Megaman battle network. For other people i dont think they really knew what it was used for otherwise, since not a lot of games used it main line and almost every knew by the next gen that you couldnt get all the pokemon in one run and on one cart.
Oh I had one of these... was great :D
I had a super gameboy and an SNES mouse growing up. I always thought it was cool you could use the mouse to draw the background of the super gameboy border ^^ also on the actual gameplay screen for some reason 😅
The gameboy advance adapter was pretty cool as well.
Gameboy Player was just severely downgraded by the software that came on the start up disc (for example, forced interlaced video mode). Modern solutions with homebrew boot (Swiss) gets impressive results out of the Gameboy Player.
@wryyyy the gba adapter for snes was a unique device however its hard to find one at good price. I had two gameboy players over time.
@@darknesskillerentertainmen9002 I legit thought you meant the GBPlayer, cause I've never heard of the GBA Adapter until now. Still, not the greatest video quality on that device unfortunately.
I still have my original SGB! I added a link port to it so I could trade Pokemon with myself. Sometimes the two wouldn't sync because of the clock issue, but it usually worked lol
Love all the weird random ways to play gameboy games on a TV lol (Super Nintendo, N64, GameCube) - I wish they did this for DS games on the Wii/Wii U/Switch so badly
The best thing about Super Game Boy is playing Fighting Games' versus with only one cartridge.
I had the game boy game genie, took it out of its shell, and used it in the Super gameboy just fine. 😂
How does the Super Game Boy 2 compare to the GB Operator by Epilogue?
My earliest pokemon machine was the Nintendo 64 with the transfer Pak and Pokemon Stadium other than an actual Gameboy Color
It's weird that this wouldn't play color games when a gameboy pocket would.
Was there anything like this for the Nintendo DS?
No. Would be cool on the WiiU though.
Issue is needing the touch screen
I used the Transfer Pak in the N64 controller and Pokémon Stadium to play Pokémon Yellow on the TV.
I like the SNES Gameboy Player more than the Gamecube version because it was faster and the regular SNES controllers were better suited for Gameboy. For Gamceube you needed the Gameboy link cable for it to feel right.
