I searched Japan's secondhand hardware stores to find a cheap GBA, then I upgraded it!

    Dude...seriously this was such an enjoy to watch. This is something I've been wanting to get into for a long time and to see it done with minimal experience, honest little mistakes, and giving us a chance to learn from them as you do just makes me want to take that leap. The option of solderless mods is awesome too. Love your energy, enthusiastic curiosity, and calm/humorous demeanor. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing this experience.

    I love the pink and green combo. It looks so good! What an upgrade :D So wild to see the USB-C charger with it, haha.
  • @HostileGamer
    I'd love to see more collection/modding content from you Nick, its relaxing to just chill and enjoy the process honestly.
  • @Purgatoriesify
    I really appreciate you not editing out your mistakes. Too often people get scared to try something that seems outside their scope of comfort and watching someone make and correct a misstep is all part of the learning process. Fantastic video and beautiful GBA.

    didn't know Nick was active on this channel. Nick was such a big part of my growing up in 2016-2020, so glad to see he's doing stuff here, and better yet, he's kept up with the same hobbies im finding myself getting into!!

    Such a fun watch, I think I might've got to do this myself! Always love these different kinda videos from you bru, hope to see more soon!
  • @Lulzigi
    I forgot this channel existed! Cool work. Love these kinds of mods.
  • @ryancolegrove5994
    loved this Gameboy mod vid! Cool that you went with Venusaur color scheme basically. tbh I've never thought to do this with my old consoles and I honestly might try it myself after I get the right gear. Looking forward to the future video with seeing the rest of the haul from those stores
  • @sanghasaga994
    I loved every second of this video. It was so cool to see what a GBA looked like on the inside, how to take it apart, and what I would need to do this myself. This one you upgraded looks amazing, and I'm inspired to try this myself now! PS: Ruby and Sapphire are my favorite Pokemon games as well, nothing beats that nostalgia.
  • @klone57
    I've wanted to try this myself since seeing your original GameBoy work. Awesome job!
  • @curtneedsaride
    Love this vid so much! I’ve gotten into modding in the past couple years. Got 2 GBC mods I’ve done myself. But this will be my next step too! GBA looks good. I’m looking forward to seeing your modding journey! This one turned out great. And RIP Leaf Green.
  • @anthonymoya9143
    Great job man! It’s very satisfying and exciting to work on a project of your own like that. It’s even more rewarding to feel a sense of accomplishment after the finished product is complete.
  • @HannahFoll
    I love these videos. My husband has this same talent/skill set of being able to take apart and repair electronics and is also able to solder. I think you just inspired us to replace the shell on our original DS Lite.

    This video brought me so much peace and nostalgia… keep up the amazing content 🙏🏽
  • @PorxSiempre
    it looks so good!!! honestly you did an amazing job on this 🎉
  • @2006irish
    This was one of the most interesting videos you have ever done. Thank you so much!
  • @ROSAS9ROJAS
    I love this new hobby you have found. Hope you enjoy rebuilding more games

    I just did my first mod on a GBA SP. It turned out sooo nice (so did yours!) and I'm so proud of it. I challenged myself and took the extra step for soldering and it went perfectly. The hinges were a big pain though. I'm already searching for my next modding project. 😂
