- The Game Boy is the most popular handheld gaming console ever. It allowed us to take games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda with us on-the-go, changing the gaming industry and our free time forever. On the 30th anniversary of its release, Marques Brownlee unboxes and explores how the Game Boy came to be, it's impact on society, and why it's leaving us feeling so nostalgic.

Marques: "It's not bad"
Casey: "It's impressive"
DCAM 😂 🤣
Marques: *I S A I D I T ' S N O T B A D*
That's soooo funny
Marques: iPhone could done it!
It's not apple so it's not bad
"Nice to meet you. NOW PUT ON THIS BLINDFOLD"
Jared Wagner “cool”
😆
Quite opposite to what david dobrik would do😂😂
Ok, I like where this is going.
@@blqnk501 lol
Damn, 4 years? I remembered when this episode first dropped. We need more retro tech Marques!
I'm pretty sure this series was part of the TH-cam Red thing that died out
It wasn't painful to be a kid back then, it was so much fun. Those childhood adventures will be with me forever.
hi
yeah youre right, but filled with gaps of boringness
Hi
@@pascalmerschaudiothat’s what made the fun moments so fun lol
@@pascalmerschaudioI remember my mom giving me chores every time I said “I’m bored” over summer break 😂
This should be a benchmark for top tier quality videos damn it was crisp asf well done MKBHD.
That's the youtube money brah
@@Poon1312 Yeah we're gonna listen to anything "Poon Slayer1312" has to say lol😂
@ParasPlay9 ভব্ব্রও
Jerry rig everything: i do the most intense testing on every piece of tech
Mkbhd: hold my flamethrower
should've used the boring flamethrower 🔥🔥
Jerry rig everyrhing: first, hold my 50 caliber sniper.
Well, he has a lighter for the screen burn test :/
@@itsShibuya its time he upgraded
I just love the fact that they had a surprise tech underneath their chair and still they came prepared to talk about gameboy.
TH-cam Originals are terrible
Did you steal my game boy?
No pun intended 😏
I lied pun intended 😏
oops I lied again no pun intended 😏
This man always tries to do something and extra ordinary and make his audience fell excited for every next, love you
How’s the challenge going
In this vid: game boy survives flamethrower
last vid: folding phone broke cause the protective layer was torn off
this video also show how important that plastic screen protector to help protect the game boy screen
The more sophisticated the technology the more fragile unfortunately
Peeled off, and it hasn't hit the big market yet
Ironic Youth chill, it’s a joke. It’s still inexcusable that a $2000 phone breaks because of a plastic film
@@g1sbi Keep in mind that it is a fucking folding phone, tech that wasn't imaginable a few years ago. I agree tho that it shouldn't happen, but it is surely excusable and I am certain the problem will be fixed before it hits the market
2019: retro tech- game boy
2049: retro tech- airpods
Jacob Schwartz lol
Blade Runner moment
lol
They wont hold a charge by then so nope!
yeah right out tech now is all planned obsolescence crap... it won't make it that far.
Whole childhood in a palm of hand. Helped me through so many things in life as a kid
Whenever I hear that chime, it always bring me back to my childhood days where I was addicted in playing gameboy
"Look Under Your Chair"
MKBHD is the tech Oprah. Change my mind.
Marques [deadpan delivery]: “You get a game boy. And you get a game boy. Everyone gets a game boy.”
by the Oprah comparison are you saying Marques is a double-agent, who will eventually back stab the guy that help get to his fame?
I didn't think i was gonna watch the whole thing.. but 20 minutes just flew by. Amazing work, Marques!
@ParasPlay Gaming hai
Brings back so many memories. Thanks for making this masterpiece!
2:00 "Think Like 1989" 😆
Marques handled Old Tech the same way Old People handle New Tech.
@19:48😂
God DAMN! the production quality in this is top notch.
well done.
except the notch on the pixel 3
It’s a Youtubr Original.
@@isotope3491 No, it's an MKBHD original.
He uses $20,000+ RED cameras to get this quality plus a iMac pro with tons of power. Plus TH-cam money.
keeps getting recommended to me after 2 years, but ain’t gonna complain 😂
We need this series back it’s what started your channel
The quality of this video, or I should say documentary is so crispy. 12/10.
finally a TH-cam Originals series that is worth watching
The slow mo guys' TH-cam originals was quite good
Ever heard about cobra kai?
Weird city is great
Just watch Wayne and thank me later.
@@sharadkumar9211 literally the best TH-cam original so far
The problems you're facing won't last forever, no matter how bad they might seem. If you ever feel lost or hopeless, just remember: the night is always darkest before the sunrise.You're going to get through this. I know you will. Now, get some rest. You've earned it, and you deserve it. Peace be with you, my friend. ❤
That struggle to open the game case was the most nostalgic part for me 😂
I remember pressing the push-part against a table to get it open :P It was easier with a hard surface than trying to use my soft squishy child hands :D
Phenomenal work man 👏
Evan is my big fan!
Thanks Evan! 👊
I’m a huge fan Austin
Hey Evans this is Austin
Hey guys this is exhausting
Hey austin is this guys
The production on this is 11/10
right? like a documental
True but I also wish it was shot, directed and edited by Marques. If definitely felt a bit weird in the sense it wasn't edited by the legend himself.
@@aswing1480 who cares who did it!, enjoy the quality content better than ever, also mk shouldn't spend that much time editing and etc, he's a bussy man rn.
Cool but if you've never played this stuff back in the day we need a host who did
It seems too overproduced, like it was made for TV and commercials. TH-cam style is better. Needs to cut back on the multi-camera editing.
Marques Brownlee your video was a lot of things I will mention one super fantastic this was truly a joy to watch thank you for making this video.
This video was action packed. Excellent work Bro. New Subbie. ❤
Nokia 3310 : Survives a fall
Gameboy: Survives a nuclear explosion
gameboys are tanks
The problem is that the nokia might also break the floor in the process.
It wasn't a nuclear explosion. Just a normal, every day air raid
Iron Pro I believe it was a truck bomb, also that game boy was owned by Stephan Scoggins, who is Kanye West's cousin and is believed by some to be at least partially responsible for his mother's death.
iPhone: survives air around it
I've watched this kid's videos since the beginning, and it's so rad that he's now making these beautifully edited documentaries like this. It's like this dude's career is an example of Moore's Law. Insane. He's advancing at the same lightning rate as the tech he reviews.
And by the way, perfect video length for this kind of thing. Really like a video-podcast.
Nailed it, man.
fuck yeah agreed
you do realize this is a TH-cam original, meaning that it's youtube that works out the entire script for the video. He just shows up in it.
@@stt.9433 doesn't disregard the fact this dude made it big. lol
Absolutely agreed, feeling super proud for him
@@stt.9433 You do realise that is almost certainly not the case. Sure TH-cam are going to be funding it and provide production resources, and even creative and research assistance. But do really think it would be a MKBHD video if Marques isn't intimately guiding the content of the program? Having sponsorship from YT enables him to things that he just wouldn't be able achieve standalone.
Wow! Brings back so many memories !!
Great show and exploration of how we got to where we are now. 10/10 to Marques.
Great video, a reintro of the retro! One thing to add, we had a guy in the neighborhood who had a gameboy, WE all shared and played. Thanks Gameboy
I'll never forget coming home with that *_clear-purple Gameboy Color..._*
I still have my purple Gameboy color in drawer. played it yesterday to check if everything was okay ( works like a charm ) and boom got this video in sub feed today . absolutely brilliant device.
I had had that one and the "glacier blue" gba
My red Gameboy and Pikachu gameboy
I hope I didn't throw out my yellow Pikachu gameboy...
I used to remember borrowing the same Gameboy Color from my cousin. I was even caught playing it without asking her 😅
I would love to see some more of these videos. Your delivery is amazing. Thank you for the great content, Marques
He uploaded 3 minute ago and you commented 1 minute ago. Did you just watch the whole damn video in 2 minute? 😂
*Markass
@@sakararyal477 Fuck you.
And your Fake Ass comments.
Best MKBHD video till this day
So happy the Game Boy is your most popular video. This tech was absolutely my childhood and glad I wasn't alone.
"The flame really encompassed the totality of the device"
~Casey Neistat -2019 😂
That sentence tho
@@kojok4667 🔥🔥9:35 so much detail 😅😅
Literally no one:
Marques: LETS BLOWTORCH THIS GAMEBOY
Speak for yourself guy...
He took inspiration from Electroboom I guess 😂😂😂
Ah man, this was so nostalgic to watch. I remember playing on the Gameboy until dark, sitting on the steps outside with friends, struggling to see the game as the sun set.
That chiptune part was dope as hell. I remember playing these old things, but I really got my start with the Game Boy Advanced SP. This felt retro to me at the time too.
Wow, Marques. This is next level video production. You've made a short form documentary.
This was exciting! Gameboy war exciting! I don't think I ever had one to be honest. But, I had friends and family who had it, so I'd play with their's
JTagStudios WOW, he doesn’t work alone?? damn...now we gotta delete the whole channel!
I don't think his team made it. It was shot on Canon C300(?), not the RED :(
liteoner where are you getting this info from?
@@chrisjfox8715 From the video and its end credits
Retro Tech, DOPE or NOPE?
Definitely DOPE!!!!!!!
A+ for this! Can't wait for the rest!
In the 80's, life was not boring. Playing outside was fun. Climbing trees, hiking, running around the block, hide and seek, making paper planes, bubbles, red light green light 1 2 3, exercising... These are just some of the activities children at that time experienced which resulted in creativity and learning through socialisation which taught life lessons and how to interact and appreciate others. Technology added and improved upon this in some regard but there were also some drawbacks as with most things in life. This series is a great idea and this video is great. Keep it up!
Same with me in the early 2000s (I was born in 94) all that stuff you mentioned brought back tons of memories, the good old days before we had everything on our phones 😢
The moment he opened the carton I almost cried :D So freaking expensive nowadays if it's still sealed.
Don't worry he knows
He had to buy one
That is not the factory seal
Gameboy: I survived flamethrower! Just peel off the screen protector.
Galaxy fold: What SCREEN PROTECTOR??
When you try to fold a Gameboy... and realize you're not strong enough.
I give this meme 9 of 10 screen protectors
Lmaoo I’m 💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Back in the days if you dropped a Nokia 3310 from the 100th floor all you had to do was to put it back together and it would chime without a whiff. Nowadays, don't even try dropping the iphone 11 on your couch!
The next Retro Tech episode just HAS to be for the Walkman. Nothing comes even close.
Pls be
Tru
Most definitely!!!!
yes, agree
I have a WM-W800 Double Walkman new in box that would be a great example for that. It's the same one that Techmoan fixed, and it needs new belts just like Techmoan's.
It's for sale Marques, do you want it? Please do not melt it though.
I started out watching ur reviews on iPads snd now 6 hours later im watching every retro tech. bro I hope u get well compensated. I've never seen work compiled like this in a long time on TH-cam. ur just amazing Marquez!!!
Who else is here because this is the most viewed video on this channel and we wanted to know why 🙂
1:41 AAAWWWW MAAAAAN!!! U ARE SO LUCKY... to experience that again. The opening of this console, the charging it up, playing for days Tetris, Super Mario bros. Battle Toads, Alien 3. Sigh... Happy happy JOYFUL times... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤯🤯🤯🤯🥺🥺🥺🥺
Talk about the HAPPIEST days of my life... what else can I say?? U are in for a treat dude!!
I won this at school because my grandpa was helping me sell the chocolate bars. He was taking them to his job at the Port of Long Beach and selling them to everybody. God bless him!
สม
God bless you
Oh damm what a coincidence my grandpa works at the port in long beach and was selling cookies
my parents did the same thing,

Nokia: Our Nokia 3310 is the most durable thing ever created by humans
Nintendo: Hold my ramen

So?
I thought the most durable thing was tax-debt. Nothing that could kill, reduce or deform it.
@@liquidminds
Against gravity? Nah
Marl Senin yeah I know I was just joking😂😂
I'm sure you don't check comments on a video this old, but I got so excited when you put Josh from Play Value on the screen. I remember watching their series on older tech and loving it. Thank you for the throwback! This was a joy to watch.
Only just found you on TH-cam Marques, and glad I did as you put out seriously dope content!!
Feels weird watching MKBHD on a TV style edited video and no 18:9 aspect ratio 😂
EddyGraphic weird flex.. but ok?
why couldn't you say 2:1?
2:1 always simplify ratios. Nuff said.
I'd say it was still edited with 2:1 in consideration, I punched in on my s10+ and nothing ever got cut off.
It looks so different from his signature bright and crispy look
Now THIS is the kind of content I subscribed for. This video was awesome!
All cool and stuff... now make V8 noises, please.
This is the kind of content I'm NOT subscribed for. This content very similar to buzzfeed's content.
This is one of those vids where “make content u would want to watch” speaks for itself. This is my top mkbhd video so far. This is great 😊 💯😍😎 I’ve watched this at least 2-3 times. And that’s one of ur vids I’d do that over and over again, cuz it’s that good 👍
Awwsome. I won my Gameboy by selling the most candy bars during a fundraiser when I was a kid!
A TH-cam Original series by MKBHD...
*Is this what you wanted?*
Yes
Yes
Mark ass brownlee
Hell yeah
Are you not entertained?!
gameboy: I can survive a bombing and a flame thrower
galaxy fold : don't take my screen protecter off
ahahahahaha
@bryan diaz varela chickens didn't get extinct after the ice ago though

To anybody down here in the comments: Remember the name Gunpei Yokoi. He's an often overlooked figure in the world of video gaming. Yokoi fostered the talent of Miyamoto, invented the D-pad and the Gameboy. He tragically died before his time. Rest in Peace Mr. Yokoi, your legacy has lived on.
My favorite Christmas present ever was a gameboy color I got in 2000, I still carry a GBA around with me to this day
I'm 32 and I was fortunate enough to experience the gameboy. This video was exciting to watch. Thank you for this crispy and informative video!
Shout out to Duck Hunt!
Thanks for the insight!
Remember actual physical gun for duck hunt!
I'm also 32 but I never had a Game Boy. Any Game Boy. Never had many of the cool things that were popular and common in places like USA, UK or Japan.
Feels bad, man
@@peter_muturi Yup! Lol
Nokia: i am the strongest piece of tech ever
Gameboy: hold my link cable
COLOREDGameBOY cool channel bro
Man you guys just don’t know. I almost started crying as soon as you busted out the box. This was mind blowing at the time. The the game boy color was even better. Nice job!
Amazing. This video brings back a lot of my good memories playing game boy as a kid.
I’m so jealous you got a sealed original game boy!
Edit: and then you go and set it on fire :(
It was a reproduction or counterfeit . there's no way the battery that came in the box would've not leaked and have a white crust of acid .
@@colt-mz3pr They don't come with batteries, though
@@mikerooney8735 1:40 look in the bottom right of the box.
Or 2:24 you get a better look .there is no way the battery is 30 years old .
He puts in a different brand a few seconds later
20:20 - Me: Psshh, how good could this guy really be making music with a damn Gameboy.
10 seconds later - Me: .......yeah, ok.
You should check put Andrew Huang
Listen to some Anamanaguchi
You’ve got a lot to learn.
This video was so fun! I was literally smiling the entire time and LAUGHED OUT LOUD! I wasn’t around in the 80s but the Game Boy Color was my jam in the early 00s 💕
Honestly these things could make a comeback if they sold them on store shelves, kinda like record players are currently. I know if I saw one at Target, I would buy it immediately.
So glad to seem Marques finally get a TH-cam original!!
Next videos in December?
U kidding me, I want those tomorrow man
I also want them tomorrow. I thought it will be a weekly thing.
I would love a special like this every quarter.
Why is the wait so long?
Christopher Nolan clearly inspired the beautiful creation of this video. The editing and cinematography of this Gameboy highlight video is truly outstanding. Well done!!
Bringing back memories of my Game Boy, loved the soundtrack!
This is an extremely high quality video, it felt like an actual documentary and not a MKBHD video. Really great video.
I think it's going to be a TH-cam Original.
Mark Coito it is a TH-cam original
@@Cash0991 it is
Cool but if you're never played this stuff back in the day we need a host who did

5:26 God bless that one guy who got bored, im convinced thats the reason we all have smart phones today.
I remember getting a Game Boy for my birthday, all those decades ago. I had a lot of good time with a lot of good games, but it wasn't too long before my mom started playing, and eventually it became hers more than mine. She still plays Dr. Mario now and then.
Man this takes me back. Thanks for the video
_"Handy Boy, by STD."_

_"Ok."_
How long did this video take to make?? This is amazing quality! I forgot I was watching a TH-cam video!
Derek Kronenberger that’s very true. That could easily have been a Netflix piece. Well done everybody involved.
@@robinmayfair3068 It's an TH-cam Original, so I guess this is what they're trying to do :) Top notch quality.
Very very true derek
Hey its 16:9 aspect ratio!
Its a TH-cam Original, it had a huge budget (I think)
I loved that
"How old do you think Nintendo is?"
"70s?"
"1870s or 1970s?"
"Aw shit"
That was my gaming system when I was 14-15! Couldn't afford anything better. $50 for GB against $99-129 for SNES
POV: you’re here because it’s the most viewed video on this channel
Yup
You're*
No, why?
*You’re
Yup
You just took me down memory lane...
Next suggestion: Sony Walkman
Saleh Mohamed 💯😉
Sony Discman, Sony MD............
Opening something as valuable as a sealed Gameboy and then immediately shooting a flamethrower at it is big MKBHD energy
It really is indestructible. You have no idea how many times I threw mine in frustration and it still work. It was still working just a few years ago before I lost it.
This was awesome man, brought back childhood memories of wanting to get one so bad but not being able to. Looking forward to the next episode!

Doing a durability test and you didn't invite JerryRigEverything??
My lawyers will be in contact soon.
That's exactly what I came in the comment section for
Very disappointing...
I thought they would maybe burn the Game boy and have a quick cameo of JerryRigEverything popping stuff off like a little Lego and showing it still working.
Yeah it would scratch at a level 3 with deeper grooves at level 4
I mean, JerryRigEverything lives in Utah while Casey Neistat lives in New York, which is a whole lot closer to New Jersey (I think) than Utah

So, so much want. Even seeing the original boxes now sends chills. I was 7! Coolest thing a kid could own.
This made me weirdly emotional, all that childhood nostalgia... I was with the GBA gen but my brothers grew up the 80s and I got their old GB and GBCs - good times
Also 'dope or nope' cracked me up. Especially the fish attachment - like, what? That was a thing?! Crazy XD
Wow, this series is going to be LEGENDARY. Marques please keep going!!
"So I've been using the Nintendo Gameboy for around 30 years now and here are my thoughts"
Good one
I still have one XD 😂
Most trustworthy review then
he isnt that old idiot
On
In 1990 my brother was in the US Army and sent to Saudi Arabia in the 1990 run up to Desert Storm. Months and months stuck in the desert waiting for a war to start. I sent him a GameBoy, tons of batteries and a bunch of games. He loved it. Both he and the GameBoy got home safe.
very quality retrospective video, good job guys!!
I'm surprised not a single person mentioned Pokémon.
Tomiply That was like a decade later
I know right....
Ya OG Pokemon was on the Gameboy
they should've included the gameboy color. that was the fun. pokemon on that was great
In the beginning of the GameBoys lifespan Super Mario and especially Tetris were hugely more influental than Pokemon was 10 years later, given that Tetris came bundled with the GB it kinda makes sense but still
2:12 in 1989, we didn't care for the unboxing experience
My mom hid my new Gameboy in a new hard over study bible box. I was trying to be so happy. Then I opened it and it was that power game boy box. Best unboxing ever.
I still don't. Couldn't care less.
You can say that for any era honestly.
I can imagine them as seniors and cherishing this and the good old days while we have virtual reality gaming.
this was a great watch thanks very much 🙂
