    Awesome video man, i got a notification to watch this when it came out, sorry i didnt get round to it sooner! Absolutely love the gameboy light - love the part in the video where you turned the system off instead of the light, i totally feel you haha!

    I think you're wondering: "Hey I thought you said you accidentally deleted this video what gives"
    Well, I sent an email to TH-cam support in hopes that they might help out and they ended up reinstating the video! I can't thank them enough. Please continue to enjoy this video and I'll start archiving backups of my videos or something

    When I was younger, I was really into retro video games, and especially the Game Boy. So when I heard there was a Game Boy with a backlight that I could play in the dark, I was soo excited! I legit imported one from Japan when I was like, 12. It's still my favourite console ever! I played countless hours on it, and have even worn down the paint. I absolutely recommend it as the definitive way to play Game Boy games. The indigo lighting, like you said, is super easy on the eyes. Truly a wonderful console.

    I swear my cousin had a Gameboy Light when I was a kid. We went camping and I was jealous of the lit display. I also remember it being silver. Which is really odd since we live in Texas.

      If your cousin ever went to an airport they sell international items I remember seeing them for sale in the U.S. in gaming shops but only in the airport.

    The new style of video was really good. Where you could improve is making your speech more clear or making the captions into the video. Boris does that really well. (Channel name: Life of Boris)
    the music was perfectly balanced. Like it wasn't too loud but I could still hear it

      Does the GBL screen have a sparkle/glimmer?

    Dang, where are all your subs at dude? 11k? You need about 100k more at least! This content is awesome! :3 Keep it up! (haha I know this is an older video, but I like your new content too.)

    Your channel is awesome!
    I think the Game Boy Pocket screen is a little larger than on Light.
    Here is my research:
    Game Boy classic: 46 x 42 (III)
    Game Boy Color: 44 x 40 (IV)
    Game Boy pocket: 48 x 43 (I)
    Game Boy light: 47 x 42,5 (II)

    Wow, this video is extremely well done, definitely an improvement from past videos. Hopefully this type of editing will be applied to future videos of this style.

    Great job, dude! The production value has definitely gone up with this one.
    Also, what does MVBBY stand for?

    Your GB Light screen looks really nice. Mine looks horribly fuzzy. Can't even play it in the dark.

    The only downside is nintendo didn't add a fucking backlight until the Gameboy advanced SP.
    Also I own 2 frontlight version of the GBA SP, however I was born in 2003 and played the system when I was 4 and 5.

  • @JacklapottTv
    @JacklapottTv 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    U didnt mention the screen refreshing rate plus the faint black vertical lines on high density pixels area issue on the pocket, by the way i have no battery level indicator on my pocket ?? Does this mean that iam holding an extremly rare unit ?

    • @nitrax8629
      @nitrax8629 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not particularly rare just an early unit from before mid-1997 or so.

  • @everettdawn7811
    @everettdawn7811 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am watching this to try to figure out if that sparkly screen is unique to Gameboy Light

  • @deckofcards87
    @deckofcards87 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've noticed that some GBL's have blue backlights and some green. Is it a different hue for each the silver and gold edition?

  • @nitrax8629
    @nitrax8629 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd personally avoid the early Game Boy Pocket models - the lack of a battery indicator light gets VERY annoying, and leads to a lot of situations like the end of this video except without the dim light letting ya know it's about to go.
