old Nintendo? They're still experimenting to this day, labo, rumble features, pokeball joycons and so much more. making a piano out of cardboard that functions is crazy experimental imo
@GigiMouse453 no way you just typed that, labo was a huge success compared to the gameboy sewing machine LMAO and failing has nothing to do with how experimental you are so I don't even understand what point you're trying to make
I have a Singer 150th Anniversary Sewing Machine from 2001. Bought it new and it uses a Gameboy color to program the stitch style, length, etc. Still works and it's my favorite, go-to sewing machine in my collection. It's just so easy to use and troubleshoot.
I looked this Jaguar machine up right after the video, and all I could find were singer/game boy machines 😤😤😤 so sick. I learned to sew on a singer so I really wanna coo one
Let’s not forget the infrared transceiver built in to the Game Boy Color. There’s a game, that just as a small little bonus feature, could record and save the pattern of any infrared light source and play it back later. So if you recorded your television remote’s power button signal, you could use your Game Boy Color to turn your TV on and off.
For the time this thing was really cool because it was a full embroidery machine but it was only around $300 at the time it was released. Which foreign embroidery machine is insane
Makes you wonder if an embroidery machine really should be that expensive and if they're actually cheaper to make than you think. I'm curious to see if there is old sewing machine mechanics that put together machines the old fashioned way causing things to be way more expensive since there is less automation involved in production
Yes, they were expensive before because it was purely mechanical and needs craftsmen to make those parts, and they're not cheap to hire. Modern embroidery machines have embedded computers in them that do the work of embroidery technicians, more often than not these computers are proprietary and people pay for the R&D of said computers and not the machine itself. Embroidery machines today are more idiot proof that even high school students could operate them with only 3 hours of training.
Instead of putting money into a processor they would save costs by having the processing done on the GBA and then send commands out to a very basic chip via serial.
the 19th Century had all sort of wierd and wacky things. Companies actually tried to step outside the box a little and get creative. but the 90's was peak We got Moon shoes, Gak, Cabbage patch kids, The fisher price castle and knights (Which my Parents gave away and seeing the Ebay prices now makes me cry a little inside since it was still complete)
@@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307 look at the cars too. So many iconic cars came out of the 90s. The music was all bangers. Popular clothing styles were so cool that they came back a few years ago. Honestly it was the best.

To think that small stuff like this is probably commonly known to exist in Japan, but is so alien to us in the states is fascinating. Makes you wonder what other really cool products never saw the light of day outside of Japan
Country wide Bullet Train/Mono Rail system. The American Car Industry ruined it. They wanted more Americans to buy cars, to use roads, which the Car Companies lobbied people who make laws to make sure roads are built for the cars, and less funding and desire for a train system.
Nah this wasn't a common product in Japan either and most successful products usually made it over. While there are some unique products that goes equally for the states or any place really. Like, maybe this didn't get released in the states but the dvd player gba didn't release in Japan either
New line of merch? You could buy a couple boxes of jackets and have the sewing machine do personalized jackets (ask for their name) and the design they want for you to then make a video you private on RUclips and share with the buyer via a link.
They download a file which they upload to the buy page. If the machine goes out of order you just say “Working on repairs, Right now we are unable to accept new orders until the machine is fixed.”
Smart! The game boy is basically a little pocket computer with a serial port screen and buttons. The sewing machine isn't the accessory in this the game boy is the accessory
It is kind of neat to have one computer for all sporadically used devices, rather than having 9/10 pf the computers sit there and do nothing, especially in the age where they were novel and pricey!
He made a really good video about Game Boy accessories and this was an honorable mention. It brought us the iconic line "I WANNA BE SEDATED BY THE GAME BOY"
And here I thought me having the magnifying glass, light, button up size, speakers, rumble pack, rechargeable battery pack, camera an printer all hooked up to my Gameboy at the same time was *"normal"*
Funny you should mention car - there was a maintenance kit for the GBC and GBA that functioned just like the laptop kits for doing a car/motorbike check up
This looks a great way for Jaguar to get higher end sewing machines into more homes. They don’t have to deal with the costs of all the programming hardware and software on each machine, which the customer has paid through GB and cartridge purchase. Awesome idea, much like how the drive motor on a Kitchenaid stand mixer can power all sorts of acessories that because of using the mixer’s drive shaft, don’t have to spend time and money on engineering, R&D, manufacturing, etc., to make a separate drive system for the attachment.
My late aunt had a Singer Machine like this and she loved it. I remember seeing it for the first time and wondering why it had a purple Gameboy Color in it, but then I learned what it did. I thought about sticking a game in it as a joke but I knew it would just make her mad, she didn't like people touching her sewing stuff. She was a good aunt, as long as you didn't touch her sewing stuff.
It actually makes a lot of sense when you realize that its very possible to make software to run stuff that's lean and simple, and a Gameboy with a cart would be a way cheaper and more widely available digital platform to utilize. The kids are at school so stay at home parent uses the gameboy to mend clothes. Makes a lot of sense.
„Moooom *MOOOOOOOM* U need a new sewing machine right? Look at this one right here ITS PERFECT for u👀👀“ One of these got bought caus of this IM CONVINCED
The gameboy just replaces the programmable computer that you can find in industrial sewing machines. Trains kids to start a career in sweatshops when they grow up. 😊
Singer wanted to try and get more kids into sewing. Even though this may not have done it… it’s still a pretty damn brilliant way to connect the old world to the new.
As a sew-er (sewer??) and a massive retro nerd, this is the intersection of my two hobbies I’d never think I’d see
Seamstress/Tailor/Clothier
I guess you could say your two passions were... STITCHED together
Right?!? How have I never heard of it tho?
Sewist!
Seamster
Old Nintendo was very experiemental and I love it

They were about experimental as Saga was
Tbf this isn’t really Nintendo being experimental it’s just their system being used by a third party in an experimental way.
"Rarest accesories"
_Starts kicking it_
He said "weirdest"
What about McDonald's DS that is the most Rarest Nintendo system
"He's kicking it. Overwatch says stop kicking it."
"He stopped kicking it."
This made me sad.
Overwatch says stop kicking it
"Such a cute sweater where'd you get it?"

And all of that was achieved using (at the time) already outdated hardware😮

Sorry, but the only way to win is not to play.
Probably more modern than the actual systems, so...

It’s not common in Japan either
the Singer Isaak works very similar and was offered in the united states
Nah this wasn't a common product in Japan either and most successful products usually made it over. While there are some unique products that goes equally for the states or any place really.

Are we not gonna talk about how sick that modded Gameboy looks??
Pretty damn sick 🤙
The way you toss the box 😱 btw clever idea.
i was beginning to think i was the only one who found that infuriating
The box was empty, no way the sewing machine would bounce around like that.
Majestic
Make a video or short where you sew a patch on a jacket or the channel’s name
Awesome Idea! 😎

Now I've seen everything. A sewing machine accessory for Game Boy. What's gonna be next? A car that you hook your Switch up to?
There was a fishing-sonar for the GB too
Funny you should mention car - there was a maintenance kit for the GBC and GBA that functioned just like the laptop kits for doing a car/motorbike check up
Would you Sew with a Gameboy?
Nope, but I will "Sue" the gameboy😂
Yeah
yes
Yes
I actually do on my Singer Izek
Using the game boy to make digital embroidery more widely accessible when it was still emerging is a brilliant marketing move.
the most entertaining way to sew your fingers together 😂
my grandma worked on a sewing machine and always warned everyone 😆
The strangest is the Gameboy sedation kit for kids.
It looks like the sewing machine is the main thing and the game boys the accessory. That's what it looks like
The creativity in this is mind-blowing. Who knew a Gameboy could be used for sewing?
Honestly that makes more sense than the damn fishing sonar adapter for the Gameboy
Wow this is such a funny product. Thanks for sharing
So underrated

you should use a step up transformer with that. japanese stuff runs at 100v.
You would want to Step Down because the Power supply is 120V and you want 100V to the Device. They got Plug in ones that convert 120V to 100V
My mother would like it if she used my gameboy if I only had one… 😔
A mother, a gameboy, or an embroidery machine? Mother Roulette!
This idea really looks like they're trying to get kids ready to work in sweat shops😂
2024 and im still finding out about gameboy peripherals i never knew existed. Such an innovative time
There's also a Mario game that uses it
NO WAY! ....
Which one?
@@simeonellinger2064 Mario Family on the GBC
DAMN TF IS THAT THING
Thats actually a pretty good idea! If you ever get tierd of sewing you can just take a break and play on the gameboy
I seriously hope there wasn't anything in the box for that first shot T~T
Yeah - usually sewing machines weigh as much as an iron anvil. XD
Good luck finding the embroidery arm. Or I shouldn't be saying that since ive yet to get one for mine

The coolest. Made something intricate and complicated easy peasy
I need to get one for my mom 😂
Is it just me I had to replay multiple times cause I thought I said butthole cause it was going so fast 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’d love this. Especially if there’s home brew unlicensed embroidery patterns to be gotten.

HELL YEAH!!!
Dont bother to show us wat it does or how it works
I was literally going to comment this.
You got it wrong. The Gameboy is merely an accessory for the sewing machine.
The amount of stuff that people were able to do with the gameboy always astounds me.
Pretty cool ngl.
Especially back in the days, truly ahead of it's time.
Neat, it’s an embroidery machine but it runs in a fascinating way
As a tailor and a gamer at heart, this is like a dream combination
In the past, things like this made Nintie have many die-hard fans to this day.
A smart sewing machine that leveraged a Game Boy Color for the "smart" bit. Human ingenuity for the 90s right there.😊
“My mom got me a game boy!”
“Cool what game?”
“Sewing”
And this is why i love Nintendo they are not afraid to take risk and actually create unique and quirky items
Yeah, it’s a great reason to like them. Just a shame they’re so scummy in every other area and aspect of their business.
That auto translation is amazing. Just a few years ago it was some lads pipe dream and now it’s a reality
ngl this was ahead of its time, now we have those embroidering machines that follow a pattern from the pc or something!
„Moooom *MOOOOOOOM* U need a new sewing machine right? Look at this one right here ITS PERFECT for u👀👀“
One of these got bought caus of this IM CONVINCED
This is definitely the coolest game boy peripheral ever created 😭😭😭
Sewing machine with a Gameboy is the coolest thing I've ever seen, I love it.
I had no freaking idea this ever existed, 2024 and im still learning stuff about the console i used the most as a kid, i like it!
GameBoy camera, GameBoy printer, super GameBoy, GameBoy advance video, and now a GameBoy sewing machine 🫥
I thought I have seen it all but this is definitely the weirdest video game accessories that has ever been made.
as a gamer and a sewing person, i’ve never wanted something more in my life
Seeing that box and the packaging, I immediately knew where that came from.
Why can't countries make a vacuum to charge our gameboys instead. We'd all be happy to do our chores while waiting for gameboy to be fully charged
That Gangar and Haunter Gameboy you have looks really cool I love that
A sewing machine and a Gameboy are 2 of the most unlikely devices to be paired imo, my mind is blown.
As a dude who loves video games and also can sew pretty dang good, this is awesome
At this point the *gameboy* is the accessory here.
Hardly an accessory at the point, making the Gameboy an accessory to itself
Boss: Alright team! Lets brainstorm some ideas.
Employee: s-s-sowing machine? 😅
Boss: Yes brilliant!
WHAT?!
As a seamstriss who loves retro games and has been alive since NES days, THIS IS FKING INCREDIBLE!!!
I would totally use that. 😂
To be fair , for the time
Its a very sophisticated sewing machine
Would definitely get one
That’s actually really cool, I mean it’s basically portable small design program.
The fact it's real and functional speaks volumes.
Its the era of figuring out what people will buy to be entertained.
Nothing is weirder then the gameboy sedation device that was prototyped
This is objectively amazing, the marriage of pastime entertainment and utility.
I first heard about this through James' AVGN series way back when, never thought I'd see one in perfect condition no less
This was probably an actually good product with forward thinking for computational sewing
This would be a great gift for a mom who loves video games.
Now that is something you don’t see everyday.
pre-smart phone reutilization of technology was a beautiful thing.
What? Name something else where tech was repurposed in this way
Jaguar Sewing machines... getting sweatshop kids back to work since 1949.
The gameboy just replaces the programmable computer that you can find in industrial sewing machines. Trains kids to start a career in sweatshops when they grow up. 😊

love the street fighter 3 music in the back
I can imagine a clever kid tricking his parents:
“Mom/dad you’re so right. Video games are bad. Can I get this sewing machine instead?”
I love how the unopened box practically weighs nothing until you pull out the sewing machine.😂
