The idea of using a supposedly torturous challenge to introduce the younger generations to the old games and hopefully make them enjoy some of these classics is absolutelly brilliant.
Torturous challenge? Only one system to play, oh noes!?! lol. When I was a little kid, one point after our NES broke in early 90's, all I had was Sonic The Hedgehog Tiger handheld for a while. That's real torture.
Games aren't re-released because they've "aged better", they're re-released because they were popular. There are a lot of otherwise good games that won't get that treatment due to being overshadowed, licensing, or the company going under, so there is merit in being 'forced' to explore a system's library.
I’m only 14 and I have always respected the older things in life especially things from the 1900s-2000s, and not gonna lie I like older games more than newer games because of the feeling of nostalgia and it feels nice to play games that impacted the pop culture community and gaming community
@Default Man idk man all he said was that the prospect of digging into an older library such as the game boy should be viewed with an open mind rather than as an ultimately challenging experience. I think that's like the opposite of gatekeeping man
Same. That, with Super Mario Bros Deluxe. I also had blue, my older brother, Red. We had to share the same Gameboy Color. Definitely had hardships back then haha.
For 2022 I set myself the challenge of only playing 3DS games to try and clear my backlog. Here we are at the start of November and not only have I stuck to that challenge, but I have managed to finish 30 games on my 3DS! Gonna have one final push in the next two months to finish as many more as I can before opening up my options again and playing on whatever platform I feel like.
I still play game boy games on a 3ds (since a game boy is so expensive and the limited cartridge batteries) they released a bunch of game boy games on the 3ds eshop so theyre much easier to play now
Truth. I was born in 89. I pretty much had a Game Boy since I was born. I spent large chunks of my time doing nothing but playing Game Boy. Even more when you add in Game Boy Color and Advance. I STILL play Game Boy games all the time. I either do it on my re-shelled GBA SP 101 with a flash cart, or my emulation handheld. I still have my original grey brick and Pokemon Gold GBC, but playing on them without a backlit screen is just annoying more than fun. And I somehow don't have any of the the millions of worm lights I used to have. One day I'll have the money to buy myself a pre-modded GBC with a nice screen on it. Maybe even get one with a rechargeable battery because why not?
Nobody defending Yoshi? When I was a soldier, even 25 years after the game came out, we used to have tournaments on that game in our dorms. Say what you want but it’s an absolute classic.
This should be a challenge. I growed up with the Game Boy line of consoles. Tecnically speaking i never stopped to play Game Boy games since the early 90's. The Game Boy consoles was my nearly only way to play games until the early 2000's. And until now i never really stopped to play Game Boy games also thanks to a flash Game Boy Advance cartridge called EZ-Flash IV Omega.
Nice video, I can totally relate with the need to focus on media. My backlog is super messy and I often find myself playing dozens of games at once. I've also been meaning to get into Game Boy collecting, I think it would be pretty fun. This might actually be the push I needed, so thanks for that.
Some of the music has been heard in little snippets in later games, for example: Winning the roshambo games in Paper Mario: Color Splash will play a short melody inspired by the ending theme of Super Mario Land, specifically when it picks up and goes faster.
Thanks for this video you actually unlocked a deep memory i havent thought about in probably 20 years with that Donkey Kong 94 footage. It was one of the first games i ever had. I was 6 years old when that game came out and was one of my first on gameboy I must have played the first few levels hundreds of times but must have lost or gotten rid of that cartridge long long ago. As soon as i saw that footage i got so nostalgic and my brain just started resurfacing a ton of memories at my grandmas house in the early 90s and i just pulled out my 3DS and brought the virtual console version. Thanks again!!
Yeah do it again I love Gameboy and wish there was more video of people using them in modern times rather than just straight review of the actual Gameboy
Nice I’m glad more & more are doing that one month Challenge, it really gives you a different perspective when your playing as a child & now where your slightly more developed.
I just found this video, I’ve had the same trouble, I see myself buying game after game for all of my consoles start it, play it for about an hour and drop it forever. I’m not finished watching the video but I’m going to try something similar to this, so far great video. Subscribed !
ngl seeing you have maltese dogs kept me watching the video ❤️ (they're very special to me) and i kept watching because this is a cool video and a fun idea!! i have a hard time focusing on media, too, just because there are so many choices now; i ought to try something like this
This is the first video that I’ve seen from you. It’s insightful with relatable perspectives, and comedic perspective I can relate to. Def giving you a follow
3:20 bro, the secret platform is on the other side :D there are two of these secret areas, one has the block where you were looking for it, and the other has it under the leftmost gap :)
Love your in depth and commentary for this video. Im doing this myself after I watched this. For gba for two weeks straight no other games. Great video
"the Gameboy is a portable that can easily fit in your pocket!" OMG dude that thing always have been huge, unless you still have cargo pants there's not many pockets that would fit it nicely.
@@marshall1556 I remember more the GB Color, GB Pocket, OG Advance and SP, and I dare to say the only pocketable one is the SP! TBH from every portable that I can remember IMO the only real pocketables were the GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite and PSP Go.
@@andremalerba5281 I mean we were all younger so our clothes and pockets were smaller like just the other I put my gba in my pocket and it fit like a phone in ur pocket
After 20 years my gameboy color still works (although you have to flip the power switch slowly now) Its been dropped, thrown, drowned, stolen 2x’s, confiscated, and left in a basement for years, but its still here
Gameboys were built like tanks my gba sp has been droped and peed on by cats ( I gave it a huge dis infecting treatment) and it still works no screen rot or anything but my ds is not so lucky the hinges on it doesn't work as well and it has screen rot.
What I love about the GameBoy Color right now is the fact that it doesn’t have a backlight which makes it easy on the eyes as opposed to backlight on the GameBoy Light/SP or modded systems. In retrospect, the worm light for the GameBoy Color was useful for car rides although I only played it when under a lamp or in the sun and I was never given a worm light as a kid because my parents were concerned I’d be up at night playing. GameBoy Color aside, I picked up reading books again as well especially since it’s so easy on the eyes compared to anything else in today’s standards.
Aah! So much memories! I remember being 6 when i got the gameboy color and Link's awakening as a birthday gift. Btw, where did you get that case? It looks cool!
The oldest pokemon game i could really play for multple hours at a time is leaf green, i have crystal and yellow but i usually just get bored of it after a few minutes
Same Donkey Kong story for me. The surprise of it becoming a giant game blew me away, played it every day till I beat it. The 64 moveset works stupidly well in 2D.
Lately I find myself playing my GameBoy and GameCube regularly. I just prefer the way games were developed in the past. It’s rare for most modern games to grab me for long.
Yea my cousin introduced me to that also.... it how I got my pokemon ready for the pokemon league back then.. then I used his level 80 mewtwo to wipe the the whole league lol
11:38 YAAAY HE REFERENCED MARIO AND LUIGI SUPERSTAR SAGA ONE OF THE BEST RPGS, THANKS ALOT SUPERSAMBEANS YOU MADE MY DAY 100000000000000 TIMES BETTER YOU EARNED A NEW SUB AND LIKE
I fucking love the barrel mini-game from superstar saga. Just to make sure that I'm not faking it. You do it in a ship full of skeletons people and you wind up sinking it and the star piece (that looks like a bone) floats out of the ship underwater.
I shouldn't take it as a personal attack, but it felt like a dagger when you dissed Donkey Kong Land lol. You still couldn't play it even after figuring out the color pallet?
Within August to now, I picked up a Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance SP, and I'm having one of the best gaming moments of my life. Also adorable cat ❤
I don't think it's a stupid challenge per se, but I think a lot of the nostalgia we experience from games like Pokemon, Mario, Halo, CoD MW/MW2, etc., all come from the fact that it was all most people had. Since everybody did it, you have more experiences from it. Nowadays, there's just far more options and people play what they prefer to play, not what they HAVE to play because it's all they have.
So much nostalgia in this video... I remember Super Mario Land... in fact I hate it the first time I played it because I ordered a a Christmas gift but I was expecting Mario Land 2. And for me Donkey Kong Land was perfect, but the things that you’re saying are true,
As someone that grew up with the Gamboy color, Gamboy Advance, and the Gameboy SP. I loved my childhood. I remember we had Pokémon Red, Blue, yellow, sapphire, and emerald. Super Mario World, and Mario & Luigi super star saga. I know there were a lot more, but those are the ones from the top of my head. It was all Gameboy and N64
Yo that's Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong 94?) I didn't realize the Gameboy Advance game was a remake of an OG gameboy game! That's awesome. That was one of my favorite Mario games back in the day!
I am current watching the video, only saw 3 min by now i already know i wont regret watching it completely xD Like for the sound that the GB made when he turned it on!!
I find that these kind of challenges don't actually result in me playing more games on single console. Instead what seems to happen is I just wind up spending less time gaming and playing the console about as much as I would have without the challenge. If I'm in the mood for one game, and I've got this rule in my head that says I have to stick to a different game or set of games, what will happen in practice is that my brain will go "I don't really feel like playing video games anyway," and I wind up doing other stuff besides playing video games. Even cleaning my room or doing something else I've been avoiding can start to become an appealing alternative to gaming if I lock myself into playing games I'm not in the mood for. In other words, I don't break the restriction to stick with that console, but it's because about half the time it operates as a disincentive to playing games at all depending on my mood. I find that I have to set a positive goal of playing a certain number of games by a certain date in order to have that work, and if I do that it doesn't much matter which consoles they're on.
Nothing better than reliving your childhood memories throw a great library of games. Kids these days with there Call of Duty and God of War don't know what real games are.
You inspire me to do the same with various different consoles! I'm gonna have a month of Game Boy too, as well as a month of SNES, a month of Gamecube etc. Not back to back of course, but some time. :)
I got tired of my parents taking all of my games every time I get them back for sum bs reason so I bought a Gameboy and that's all I've been playing for the last 6 months 💀

I COULD do this, but I would have to use my backlit GBA-SP to retain any sanity. I do have a lot of GB/GBC games though, so it could be a fun month.
"The idea of limiting myself to only playing one console has always interested me"

Get a pc and you have all
*playing only 1 console
*Having only 1
Put "only" in the right spot in the sentence!

Older Pokémon games are hard to get into?
It’s the only ones I can get into 😲
Yeah Gen 1 and 2 are the ones I find myself playing the most and I never owned then until the VC releases on 3DS
Cant relate, all the pokemon game are op lol even rom hacks... injustice downloaded Light Platinum two days ago great rom hack I say.
The older ones are the best. A lot of people complain about the restricted technology of the Gameboy but I really loved the games
How about that
I tried a new Pokémon game and it was so ridiculously easy that I got bored and stopped playing
sounds like a damn good month
It is so nostalgic. Gameboy was the first one my father used to play that I played.
I will never feel like 10 year old me playing Super Mario Land again. That enthusiasm for most thing is gone.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
2DS virtual console has reconnected me with that feeling.
Damn this comment got me in the feels
I'm 32 years old. I still play through and beat Super Mario Land at least a couple times a year.
Just putting out there: you can change the color palette in the super gameboy. There's a array of color combos and even the gameboy palettes.
Loved seeing your pets in the video! So cute
Haha I’m glad you enjoyed them! I plan on doing more live action stuff in the future so maybe you’ll get to see more of them
I liked how the puppies looked at your Gameboy like "what's that?"
Young millenials really making challenges out of my everyday life as a child. Wild.

Same Donkey Kong story for me. The surprise of it becoming a giant game blew me away, played it every day till I beat it. The 64 moveset works stupidly well in 2D.

Like for the sound that the GB made when he turned it on!!
I just bought dragon quest 1 and 2. I've heard great things. I also love how clean your game boy looks!
I spends years on one as grew up with them. I was so happy once the SP came out as finally a backlight.
The purple transparent GBC was my first gaming device. Just seeing it makes me nostalgic. I played so much I permanently messed up my posture lol
I know it’s 11 month later but I’d love to see another one of these
Alakazam is always beast! That Yoshi game is alright. They recently released it for switch online and I played it for like 5 hours.
That's the exact Gameboy I got for Christmas back in 99' with the pikachu yellow version!!! Oh the nostalgia!!! 😂😂😂
I find that these kind of challenges don't actually result in me playing more games on single console. Instead what seems to happen is I just wind up spending less time gaming and playing the console about as much as I would have without the challenge. If I'm in the mood for one game, and I've got this rule in my head that says I have to stick to a different game or set of games, what will happen in practice is that my brain will go "I don't really feel like playing video games anyway," and I wind up doing other stuff besides playing video games. Even cleaning my room or doing something else I've been avoiding can start to become an appealing alternative to gaming if I lock myself into playing games I'm not in the mood for. In other words, I don't break the restriction to stick with that console, but it's because about half the time it operates as a disincentive to playing games at all depending on my mood. I find that I have to set a positive goal of playing a certain number of games by a certain date in order to have that work, and if I do that it doesn't much matter which consoles they're on.
First time running into any of your vids. I liked this one.
Played a lot of Yoshi on NES. You actually get cutscenes if you play longer and score higher.
Nothing better than reliving your childhood memories throw a great library of games. Kids these days with there Call of Duty and God of War don't know what real games are.
I love Yoshi!!! But that's ok. It's just really simple, and fun for a short burst playing
You inspire me to do the same with various different consoles!
I'm gonna have a month of Game Boy too, as well as a month of SNES, a month of Gamecube etc. Not back to back of course, but some time. :)
Awesome stuff man. I can see the amount of work you've put into your vids. Love it!
Really awesome. Final Fantasy Adventure is a good one to try in the future.
Zelda at :43 seconds mark. Ha I called it first.
Thanks.
Nice video! I would totally play the Super Nintendo for one month! So many great games.
Firepower 2000
I did this when I was punished as a kid, but my parents forgot to take away one of my GBA.
I got tired of my parents taking all of my games every time I get them back for sum bs reason so I bought a Gameboy and that's all I've been playing for the last 6 months 💀
Why do they keep taking your games away?!
Great video! You should do the Gameboy Advance now!
