When I was younger, I was at a game store and they had a GameBoy Player with the start up disc for about $60 and a complete in box copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance for around $35. I only had enough money to get one or the other and went with the GameBoy Player. In hindsight, that was probably one of the best choices I have ever made.
Man 😢😢😢my tears of sadness cause I honestly cannot find both the back to the gamecube and my disk for the game boy player.....I'm going to have to tear up my parents house for that
In my case I was in high school and I bought at game stop formally known as EB GAMES for 19.99 with the disc and the player. Today is May 14th 2024 and yet I still have it 🎉🎉🎉
I don’t know if you know, but there are homebrew solutions for the disc too, and they have SIGNIFICANTLY improved video quality over the OEM Nintendo disc. All you really need is a copy of Zelda Wind Waker.
They are well worth it. I got mine with the startup disc for about $120 USD probably about 3-4 years ago. Feel i got one at the right time. I use GBI (gameboy interface) to play games on my gameboy player though nowadays instead of the stock startup disc.
can you fucking IMAGINE if they released this kinda service today? might actually consider getting a switch if it played all the older games, but nah, emulation is hard 😢
god, this is my favorite gamecube accessory. i have not gotten it but i just would like to imagine myself playing all my favorite gameboy games on the television without any crazy mods and such. unfortunate this is pricey but i want this very badly so i would not mind spening the 1 or 2 hundreds
1:27 - only when you have no way to boot into swiss. from there you will only need the gbi application. booting into swiss is possible without any soldering at all. f.e. with action replay and gecko sd... or using some ingame bugs in f.e. wind waker or animal crossing. if you are good at soldering, picoboot is also an option and will cost you only about 10 bucks in total. using gbi you will have a much better experience than using the official game boy player startup disc.
I was lucky with those pieces. I bought the startup disc in a GameCube lot for 50€ (with 5 more games included Pokémon Colosseum and Metroid Prime) and the Player for less than 40€. It was something that I really wanted! I also have a Super Game Boy for SNES, let's say that I'm a lover of those accessorizes 😂👍
If you have gameboy link cable that you'd use for something like four sword adventures, (link port one end gamecube plug on the other) you can use your gameboy as the controller for the gameboy games instead of trying to use the gamecubes smaller dpad
I got one of these last year and I decided to get the Japanese console, disk and player for like 140. It cant play american gamecube games till it gets a region switch, but was well worth the savings.
I recently sold my Gameboy player and start up disc for 185. I had the original case for it so thats why I sold it for that price. if it was loose and with a random 3rd party case I would've sold it for less
I've always wanted this as kid! I can't wait to get it in a few days. I can emulate but GB gamed on my pc to my T.v. screen but The GB playet is what I yerned for in my childhood. ❤❤❤
The GBP accepts inputs from any or all four controller ports at once. You and three friends could control the same game at the same time for total chaos!
I have two GAMECUBES from back when I was collecting, I do NOT have a boot disc however both are modded to boot "backups" so I use a copy of the boot disc which works fine.
I just got the disc and the accessory for 120 on eBay. Seemed pretty fair based on what it’s selling for. Got it in the mail today and it works perfectly
I remember years ago my grandma had one like that but the controllers were green and every time we went there me and my cousin would instantly play super mario
for my gameboy player i actually bought it full in box with original case for the disc and bag for the player from japan for around 100 dollars and then added a regoin locking switch on my gamecube so i can use it. gba games arent regoin locked so it works with american games.
I recently bought an Indigo Dol-001 Gamecube with controller, power cables, 1019 cube memory card, console box, Game Boy Player with disc in original packaging, and a Dragon Ball GBA game. In all it cost me $200. It was worth it
also there a button on the side of the game boy player too eject the cartages you kind off damaging the cards pulling them out there a eject button the right side or left side off the game cube game boy player
You could buy the Japanese starter disc for much much cheaper even with the import fee. But you need a modded gamecube that reads both US and Japan gamecube games.
@@haroldbalczac6431 The US disc work because you had a US Gamecube. The Gameboy Player for Gamecube doesnt matter US or Japan because gameboy games are region free. What i meant was if you buy a Japenese disc you need a modded gamecube or it won't read it. Either way did you play gameboy games on the switch yet? I know its limited to what nintendo gives you. But OMG looks amazing! Check it out.
If anyones wanting one you can mod your gamecube to boot up emulated gameboy games or boot up the start up disc itself so you can use your gameboy player and play your own gameboy games.
Why is it that when everyone who mentions the timer on this thing, they not think that there are parents out there that limit the amount of time their kids have for video games each day?
I got a Japanese startup disc for my orange spice GB player, cost me like $30 for a mint CIB copy. I have an ODE installed in my GameCube now though so it's kinda pointless.
I know this is a late comment, but I just dug out my GameCube and I have the attachment and my desk is pristine. No scratches and I have a case for it, which is awesome too.
form what your telling me i’m very surprised that i found mine with the disc and the gameboy player and disc cover and paper that comes inside of it at a disc replay for $210
Wii games = 2,559 GC games = 621 GBA games = 1538 GBC games = 669 GB games = 1,042 I was trying to calculate which system can play the most physical games: the Wii or the Gamecube. And the answer is the Gamecube if you have the Gameboy Player.
I thought about buying the disc but the bew chip mod allows for better GBA quality and visual experience on the gamecube. The disc is no longer worth it.
don’t know what it is but the storytelling and old game info makes this channel just the best
Yes definitely

That's pretty good. I have a similar story. I bought the replacement bigger battery for the Wii U gamepad and that thing has already shot up in price.

Every GC owner in 2003: “LOL, nope!”
To be fair, we never removed the Game Boy Player for long.

It's crazy how Nintendo used to do stuff like this

Did you ever get one?
@@snipebp though I did not get one I did get something even better, the retron 5. It can patch, save state, and play several other consoles as well

I’m glad that the Switch added its own Gameboy player through online.

Wow, I still have mine from when I was a kid. I remember loving playing gameboy advance games on the big screen
The GameBoy Player is Definitely an Accessory That is a Must Have. It is So Awesome. It Makes Your GameCube a Whole New Console!
I recently sold my Gameboy player and start up disc for 185. I had the original case for it so thats why I sold it for that price. if it was loose and with a random 3rd party case I would've sold it for less
You can get a “refurbished” gameboy player + startup disc for only 109 dollars (100 euro) here in Europe
That's cool Matt I'm happy for you, but can you put in a game genie?
Hey, I have a question: Where do you get most of your collection? It’s really nice and I wanna build my own collection! Thank you.
he goes garage sale hunting, he has a tips and tricks video on his channel
I go to dkoldies he has some good collection
@@flyingsquirrel64 okay
@@Welcomingsum1 I do that too but there’s a lot of things offsale
no no no the game boy player stays on the gamecube the accesory cover was born to be taken off forever
Hey do we think we can get a short where Timmy gets abandoned
I've always wanted this as kid! I can't wait to get it in a few days. I can emulate but GB gamed on my pc to my T.v. screen but The GB playet is what I yerned for in my childhood. ❤❤❤

Congratulations! 🎊🎉👏👌
I need one for my gamecube
You mean gamecube
@@jamesrgamesoffical i was gonna type that
Ill edit it
I just got the disc and the accessory for 120 on eBay. Seemed pretty fair based on what it’s selling for. Got it in the mail today and it works perfectly
Did you get it from Stu’s Classics ??
Game boy was an amazing handheld man my god did I take that thing everywhere even used to sneak and try play it at church when I was a kid lol 😂
I remember years ago my grandma had one like that but the controllers were green and every time we went there me and my cousin would instantly play super mario
Can you try this with the gameboy camera? I feel like that would be cool haha
How would you be able to use it properly though?
Can’t lift the GameCube up whilst the disk is spinning.
for my gameboy player i actually bought it full in box with original case for the disc and bag for the player from japan for around 100 dollars and then added a regoin locking switch on my gamecube so i can use it. gba games arent regoin locked so it works with american games.

Nice vidro bro. Question have you ever tried in modern TVs?
Such a good piece though ✌️
Congrats, that's really cool
you dont need the start up disc use the gameboy interface homebrew. the homebrew renders the video better than the official disc does anyway
Hi 1980s gamer I love you're vids and shorts keep up the content
great job man thats cool
also there a button on the side of the game boy player too eject the cartages you kind off damaging the cards pulling them out there a eject button the right side or left side off the game cube game boy player
He literally said that
Coolest part about the Gameboy Player. There's literally a gameboy advance inside the housing of the player.
Wow game cube is so advanced. Its able to play wii games and also *GAMEBOY GAMES OHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!*
do you play modern games or do you just play the classics?
You can get an homebrew app for your GameCube that is basically a third-party startup disc
Do you need a cable or the actual Gameboy to play/control the game? Or does it work and sync right to the regular GameCube controller?
both the GBA with the adapter and gamecube controller can function as a contorller for these games
edit: spelling mistake
Hey classic gamer do you have the gamecube component cables?
What kind of crt monitor do you have?
Hell yeah, thanks for the info

I already know Timmy is gonna take that cover and do something to it
finally the GameCube is a cube, kind of….
Awesome 🤟
I've the gameboy player but I missing the disc
Wish they would make a add on for the Switch that would let you play ds games😮
would Medal of Honor in GBA be better played graphically in this setup?
I just want to play og pokemon on my TV
If anyones wanting one you can mod your gamecube to boot up emulated gameboy games or boot up the start up disc itself so you can use your gameboy player and play your own gameboy games.
I also think you can use some action replay devices to get around not having the Startup disc
Also a Wii lol
That looks so cool

I have the Pokémon xd gamecube and the matching silver gameboy player. There both super clean I love them
its so cool you can play game boy game boy color and game boy advance games on a home console

Love the Gameboy player
Wow! I never knew this existed besides the super gameboy.
Do you have the Game Boy controller accessory?
2050:New nintendo console! Includes slot to plug in Switch games!
It's worth it
i was suprised nobody ever made any reproduction discs for the gameboy player
Because they won't work due to anti piracy measures. Minidiscs were expensive too
Do you have megaMan games series?
Can you show your CRT tv and what it’s year if manufacture is
Best accesory ever i had thr og snes one i would play pokemon crystal on i never had a gameboy untill gba

Would be the same as doing it to anything else
Nice I love Gameboys
I highly recommend you the gameboy player controller from hori.
It actually looks like a cube with the gameboy player on

It will transform your life.

Do I need a specific type of television to play this?
I bought a GameCube and gameboy player with disc from someone who modded it so you can play JP/US and I love it
Gameboy camera?
There was a Gameboy player at my local game store but Idk if it's a good investment. What do you think should I get it?
Awesome
I thought about buying the disc but the bew chip mod allows for better GBA quality and visual experience on the gamecube. The disc is no longer worth it.
you can see Luigi in super mario bros in super mario bros 3 on game boy advanced
Get a way of installing Gameboy interface and get rid of that Gameboy player disk
That’s so cool but is it worth it for 160 dollars
