still waiting for an anniversary model. I'll buy it even if it's 200$
Just bought a Gameboy advance sp from a thrift shop yesterday. Though I'm still able to afford for more beautifully animated games, but those just never bring me the same feeling as this tiny little gadget — the feeling of the 90s and 2000s
I have such nostalgia for the GameBoy and still have one. But it's so hard going back and trying to play it on such a small screen with no back or front lighting, and no way of putting it in sleep mode if I suddenly have to do something. I've become spoiled by smartphones and the DS line. The GameBoy was amazing for it's time but we've improved so much since then it's impossible to go back.
The gameboy and gameboy colour have sold over 118 million units worldwide, stating wikapedia, while just the DS line of consoles, (not including the 3DS family) has sold over 154 million units worldwide, and are the best-selling portable consoles, and the second best-selling console overall so far behind the playstation 2. Sorry but that statement is a false claim.
Watching this after realising nothing has really been done for the GameBoy's 30th Anniversary Best portable console in existence, in my opinion of course

I regret not getting this special edition.
How you dare to forget about the Game Boy Light?
I have a cobalt colored gameboy advanced sp

Why can't it be called GameBoyGirl?

Imagine In 2018 there will be a gameman with thirty gameboy classics installed into it.

Gameboy Advance sp brings memories back in 2003 ahhh good times… I wish to have it in 2017
the ds sold better lol
Man the nostalgia. I used to have a Nintendo DS Lite. I still have it. I remember playing Mario Kart with my friends every day. That was awesome.
The Gameboy should have had Mario Land packed in. Tetris is great, but Mario is the mascot of Nintendo and should've been first.
"Working on a handheld called the handy" 😂😂
who else cringed when he said pokeymon
its pokemon
If today,gameboy is made and named by meme artist it'll become Gameboiiiiiiii
The gameboy color doesn't really count in my opinion, but the gameboy advance definitely doesn't count
The gba it's not a simple portable SNES.
Ok, someone please tell me how a game like Street Racing Syndicate is possible on the gba.
I'm glad I still have my Gameboy, Gameboy Color to be exact. 🙂
No game boy pocket, light, or color? And no mention of the two different SP models? Cmon…
I have a gameboy color emulator and the rom was Pokémon Yellow
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE GAME BOY CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
Even though pokemon helped the gameboy it was the last game on it
Great video
Unfortunately beaten in popularity by the Nintendo Switch
