Metal Jesus deserves a minimum of 1 million subs. One of the best channels on the internet.

My mom always stole my GameBoy (to play Tetris). So happy when she finally her bought herself one.

We forgot to mention the Japanese exclusive Game Boy Light. The Game Boy Light is only slightly bigger than the Game Boy Pocket and features an electroluminescent backlight for low-light conditions.

I just bought a purple clear game boy color at the Salvation Army for FOUR BUCKS! Sound works screen it has 0 cracks or rough spots. looks like it was used a couple times and thrown in a box for 20 years. IT WAS A HELL OF A STEAL!

That Virtual Boy is just chillin there like "soooo, your doing a video on my better handheld brother eh?"

9:38 THE ZOOM-IN ON HIS FACE LMAO

Another interestig fact: There was a motor scooter made by Aprilia. The Aprilia SR50 Ditech, which had a very advanced injection system instead of the usual carburetor. Tuning is very popular with normal carb scooters, but suddenly became very hard due to the new injection system of the Ditech, since it was computer controlled. So they came up with a Gameboy Cartridge, that you would put into your Gameboy and then connect it to the Ditech via cable. From there on you could alter and change the setup of your scooter and remove performance restrictions, which increased the top speed by almost 100% ! Eventually the Ditech models failed, because tuning was such a hassle. That was around 10 years ago. Today, scooters are all back on carburetor engines!

They went with green because there is more definition in green (due to how light and our eyes work) than any other color.

Fun fact: There was a gameboy that a soldier brought with them that survived a bomb blast

I still have my see-through purple gameboy color and I remember playing Pokémon yellow, and just recently I found snoopy and bomberman! remember password saving? man, I had a little book full of passwords and gameshark codes!

20:44 The tilting mechanism in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble game isn't just "pretty cool".. it's amazing! It foreshadows the widespread use of accelerometers, 6 years before the Wii or iPhone came out.

My grandpa received a Gameboy and Tetris for a birthday present in his early 70s, having never played a video game before in his life (aside from windows solitaire). He played the hell out of that thing, and was quite good at it. John is totally right though, he never even thought about buying additional games. He already had the one he wanted to play.

Absolutely love this channel and your whole team. Was born in 85 but was always a generation or 2 behind in gaming til I became an adult and you guys bring me back to SO many good times. Keep up the good work MJ 😎

Link's Awakening DX is awesome. It mostly just added the Color Dungeon and beautiful colors. The game works on GB and GBC, but the dungeon was only finishable on GBC and got you either a red or blue tunic which boosted your attack or defense. There's also a photographer in the game that let's you print 12 pictures from specific points in the game using the Gameboy Printer. Never used that feature or owned the camera/printer for that matter. But simply finding him in the world and getting an in-game gallery was a nice little collectible, too. I know there's some more small changes like bugfixes, overall it's just a better version (unless you're a speedrunner, maybe) even if you're playing on original GB.

"Handy Boy by STD" That.. that is unfortunate.

I love when you have Riggs on. Such a positive force of joy in the retro gaming world. Really knows his stuff!

John, Reggie and Kelsey i want them all as real life friends...they seem so chill and always happy.

this guy is fun and has such a positive energy, I like him
