      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.

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.

      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?

    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.

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!!

      I want to get a modded GBC one day. I have an original GBC actually, but I don't want to mod it since it's one of those fancy Pokemon Gold ones. But money is keeping me from getting one. I did recently spend a chunk of money on an emulation handheld (the Retroid Pocket 2+), but I felt like in the long run, the Retroid would be a better value for the price. It was still cheaper than a pre-modded GBC, and I can play anything from Atari 2600 to Dreamcast (even PS1, PSP, and DS).
      But I'm definitely gonna get one one day. For now, if I want to play on real hardware, I have a GBA SP 101 and some flash carts.

    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.

    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.

    Just something about the classics. I got into retro collecting for the GBA since it includes alot of titles from my favorite system as a kid, the SNES.
    Although I got games like elden ring on a beefed up PC, I am still choosing to play my GBA, because these games focused heavily on fun factor, while modern games focus on how hard they can milk your money.

      Exactly! I've been trying to explain this to my kids! They had to make games fun and complete, now they're just half finished shells designed to get more money out of you.

    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.

    I started another spring semester of college yesterday, and I'm already out of it. I might pick up my sister's gameboy games she has somewhere in the house. Just to have some simpler games to play, and just to take my mind off my studies for a bit each day.

    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.

    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,

    0:15 the act of limiting myself to only playing games on one console is something that I've always wanted to try
    Meanwhile, I only had my Gameboy for a few years before I got my first console.

  • @GrandmasterofWin

    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?

  • @jeremyandrews3292
    @jeremyandrews3292 2 года назад

    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.
