One thing I usually like to say is When Mario kart 7 is the “weakest” link in the chain for Mario kart that’s pretty freaking good lol

I think the Legend of Zelda was one of the best games ever made and only few games I would consider maybe above it and another one would be a Nintendo 64's The Legend of Zelda ocarina of Time man that game was gigantic for it's time and still is such an amazing game! But man when i was a kid i loved this game with it's gold cartridge and it really felt like you were exploring a brand new world it's like you lived through Link, man I love this game and there is nothing like playing it on the original Nintendo system! But right now they have so many good offers for handheld emulators with all the old games like NES SNES PSP N64 Game boy color Game boy advance just so many more and they also have classic PC games all in the palm of your hand. I would highly suggest if you are a lover of old school games just look up handheld emulators you can get ones that are shaped like PSP or you can get retro boy which is what it sounds like an emulator with all your favorites from when you were a kid. I get nothing from this I just know that the inner child and all of us would like to be able to have all these games in the palm of our hands it's a great way to pass time and have fun and relive the past!

This timeline is suspiciously similar to the lifespan of the Switch. The way it's looking, the Switch 2 will seem a lot like the equivalent of GBA. I'm curious what sales will look like for the first three years of Switch 2 and if it will really pick up off the ground or not. Nintendo has traditionally sold severely underpowered consoles very well whereas their focus on higher power tends to be their downfall for some reason.

Man Great video I wanted one of them as a kid but.. Now at 60 I just got an Emulator to play all the games LOL

I will never forget how Ryuk wanted a silver Gameboy Advanced SP .

Thank you TH-cam algorithm for blessing me with another quality channel 🙏🏾

whats the game at 2:04?

I had one friend who had a Neo Geo back in the day. He only had a few games as they were very expensive. It was awesome but....the thrill was not that long. No one else had one. He couldn't rent games either. We ended up putting vastly more time toward the genesis and snes. Still, I remember how blown away I was at the graphics of the Neo Geo.

I called my mom stupid and threatened to punch her in the face if she didn't get me a Neo-Geo for Christmas. ❤

you say "the outstanding metal gear sold" game as you show footage of Tekken 3, it's just sub-par, we're watching a video, we are quite tuned in to the video and to hear you mention a game that is not shown in front of us and show us a different game playing is quite amateur unfortunately, you're not AI right?, lol

sorry, have to say, just before the 4 minute mark, games are quickly listed and footage shown does not line up to the video clips, like Crash Bandicoot. Your voice sounds great, good inflection, tone, sounds pretty pro to me. Only gripe so far however minute.

This tornado was a tsunami of a video

Super MaryO

Playing my gba sp right now. I love the gba

That was a very good video, appreciated❤

Damn. For Mario Kart 8 being called the best in the series, you were a lot more negative than I thought you would

I got the chance of owing the Neo-Geo console back in late 90s and it was mind blowing. The games were astonishing and real fun. Btw, a smile on my face when you mentioed a saudi prince, as I'm from saudi arabia 🇸🇦😆 .. Anyway, thanks a lot for the amazing video and your great efforts.👍🏼 Keep up.

Great as always

This was incredibly done, great job

i don't agree with some of ur opinions but i enjoyed ur video

Great video

Legendary documentary pull

Its amazing to think this is 20 years ago Popular culture has changed so little in the last 20 years

That's a mistranslation. _"Athletic"_ is Japanese English for _"obstacle-course"._ Like how _"fanny"_ is a different body part depending on if American English or British English. Also, "The Hyrule Fantasy" isn't the subtitle, or even part of the game's name at all; it's just The Legend of Zelda. You will not find Nintendo having ever refered to it as anything else. "The Hyrule Fantasy" is just there to sound cool and catchy.

In a way, SNK went the way of Sega, became another company that abandoned hardware development in favor of software. Couple of years ago there was talks of an upcoming Neo Geo 2 console, but it turned out to be a lot of smoke. For a moment, a lot of people thought the Neo Geo was making a comeback, got their hopes up all for nothing.

The PS2 redefined my early 20s and built on the original foundations set by the PS1 with so many classics that it deserves to be the best selling console of all time.

In december 1989 i looked in a flyer and i saw neo geo for $600 i just wanted it if we ever won the lottery games cost $200 each and i knew nothing about neo geo, i played baseball stars in a store once and the graphics really werent that impressive considering the sega genesis was less than a 3rd of the price at $189 with games costing $50 or $60 dollars

This is such a great document and I really adore the GBA which was special special to me because it was literally the first Nintendo system I have got a launch. I had the purple coloured GameBoy advance.

Anyone else here cause the Anbernic RG34xx? 😁

Gap filler is probably the best way to describe this console. But for me and most of my English school friends, it filled an even bigger gap. Most of us had a Megadrive and PS1 (some of us a Master System too). Those SNES ports in a portable, and often multiplayer form were a massive gap being filled. Add that to the amount of RPGs we didn't get in Europe until this time and I can see why it became a lot of our favourite handhelds. Everything was fresh for us. Sleepovers would often be Advance Wars, Pokemon battles, Mario Kart Super Circuit - this despite us having the main consoles.

Nintendo are scum

bro u deserve more views, they will come for sure cuz this is top tier content, i've seen every console doc you posted, they're amazing, and i'm checking your channel every now and then to see if you posted another vid that youtube decided not to show on my frontpage, like this one. keep it up

Man, these docs. Are excellent. Have a hunch we’ll have Mario Kart 9 finally as a launch title for the forthcoming new console. Can’t imagine they are not at least going to add a track editor + build a GP as its main “gimmick “

This was a great video, I really enjoyed it. Having gone back and started emulating older consoles recently what stood out to me is how strong the GBA library is, especially compared to handhelds and even many consoles!

Amazingly well made video! Sat through the whole thing while playing my Nintendo Switch Lite. Pretty amazing how far we've come since the GBA days, and with so many handhelds coming out now from so many different companies the competition is more fierce than ever before. I did have a little laugh though when I saw the Game Boy Micro unveiled again. That one didn't age too well.

you have a good voice for this sort of thing. I was almost worried that it was AI

N64 forever

I had the original GBA when I was like 7 years old and I used a light accessory that attached to the device to light up the screen. Lol couldn't have been good for my eyesight

I used to criticize Nintendo for not going through with Sony's deal to produce the Nintendo PlayStation. I now realize I was wrong. Sony tried to f*ck Nintendo by making a deal that cut them out of the lion share of profits the collaboration console would generate. From Nintendo's point of view making that deal would be shooting themselves in the foot. It was a terrible one sided deal that would have given Sony leverage to use Nintendo's brand to pad their own pockets. It's understandable why Nintendo decided to betray Sony and make a more favorable deal with Phillips. No one could have foreseen how successful the PlayStation would become. Even if they somehow could see the future making the deal according to Sony's terms would not have been in the best interest of Nintendo. They weren't about to just let Sony take over the market share without a fight. And boy what a fight it turned out to be. Sony won however they earned their victory by taking a risk and getting into the video game market on the back of their own console. Nintendo was content with losing via competing with Sony, and not simply signing everything they had over to them.

This was a fantastic video looking forward to future uploads (hopefully a 3ds video in the future 🤞)

The definitive PlayStation 2 documentary.

It's a shame that Mario Kart 7 (along w/Super Mario 3D Land) is considered fairly weak by people nowadays, considering they helped save the 3DS

The mods for the original GBA at that time were almost entirely front lights, not back lights. Additionally, the original release of the GBA SP (the AGS-001) were also using front lights. It was not until the second model of the SP (the AGS-101) that a back light was used, and that was its only real improvement; they even advertised it on the box. Please do not refer to front lights as back lights. It is important in the context of discussing the GBA in particular.

It as a truly exciting time

Dude this documentary was awesome

usually when people try tio redefine things like video game constoles it ends up becoming a ompletely innacurate history harnessing a mentality people have that fits the mold of there existence.

I remember playing Diddy Kong Racing and telling my dad that the graphics looked like real life and there was no way video game graphics could get better.

Wish gba had a longer life, so we could get more amazing gba games
