The Game Boy Line (1989-2005) - Scott The Woz Compilation

I love how, as “not a Pokémon guy” Scott describes Pokémon’s impact on Nintendo’s portable history like he’s reading aloud a school paper.

I love how its called Scott's snippet but gives hour long compilations

"Kirby fits everywhere. Put him in court, I dont care" this was genius

Fun Fact: The name "Game Boy" was inspired by the most popular portable device of the 1980s: The Walkman!

Less than 3 months ago I was in the hospital for emergency, life saving surgery. I'm in my mid 40s and a PC gamer since the days when a PC was a vic 20. While I was in recovery my mom bought me a Switch Lite to help kill the time. As cute as that is, the cutest part is that she calls it a gameboy. "Are you still having fun with your gameboy?" "Did your friend ever end up lending you more games for your gameboy?" "Did you ever buy more games for your game boy or are you still playing that wild breath (zelda) game I got for you with it?" "Do you want me to buy you another gameboy game before you go for the folow up surgery to recover with?" Love my mom so much, and this is kinda a folow up to when I was 12. You see back then I had to do some hospital time, and my mom bought me a gameboy. The origional. Grey brick with a green screen. 2 Games. Tetris. Link's Awakening. I love how shit can repeat it self, over 30 years later.

I swear even though I’ve already watched all of Scott’s videos I love watching these compilations

I’ve noticed how Scott started talking more about Pokemon as time went on. Dual Releases and in his Stash where his friends had him play “Who’s that Pokemon?” Probably never gonna be the RPG guy people want, but it’s nice for him to appreciate it little by little.

I like how Scott reviewed these in reverse order

It really feels like Scott came out of a parallel universe where Pokémon doesn't exist sometimes. And then occasionally he realizes he's sending videos to this universe and he should really mention them. And I mean that in the most loving way I could. <3

I really hope Scott does a series on mainline Pokémon. Just nine episodes of him really not giving a shit sounds fun.

is it just me or is it actually just really cool to see all this stuff compiled like this?

My 80 year old grandma had a yellow play it loud gb and only played tetris for 15 years she even wore the screen out before she unlived. And she only played with it plugged in i wish i still had that charger

Proud to say that I have liked every single Scott’s Stash, Scott the Woz, and Scott’s Snippets videos.

Wow i can't believe scott made videos about the gameboy since 1989. It is sad that he stopped in 2005

Sega Nomad was what I imagined the really rich kids played. In reality, nobody had one.

If you don't remember the blurring/ghosting being that bad on the game boy screen, you're not imagining it. Its the screens age of these old systems.

Until relatively recently I had no clue that the slowdown in Super Mario Land 2 were FPS drops due to hardware limitations. As a kid I just have no context for it. The concept of optimization or that games can run poorly at all. I either didn't notice or thought it was intentional whenever the game felt sluggish; I just loved having a unique Mario game on the go. And now I get annoyed if a game only runs at 30fps, and I'm even considering upgrading to 120hz monitors bc even 60 doesn't feel fast enough for me sometimes. Times really do change.

I’m from 1985 and my Game Boy era was epic. I had upgraded the hell out of it. Magnifying glass with build in lights nd external speakers on it nd a special Game Boy suitcase. I still remember when I got my first.. it was the day before my summer vacation. 1 for me and for my little brother. This was for our 23hour bus trip (from the Netherlands to Spain) This was by far the best childhood trips I ever had! Snacks,Game Boy nd looking out of the window of the bus! And know I’m going to replicate this journey again. In september I’m going with my wifey nd our kids to Spain with the bus for the first time. I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus (look a like game boy but with all the game boy games on it (also Nintendo etc) Can’t wait until it’s 22september….. it’s +30years ago that I made the last trip with the bus. Every time I hear the name Game Boy, it gives me instantly all the memories of my long trips Spain each year.

As somebody who lived through the original Gameboy (until my mom pawned it while I was at school) you HATED when you couldn't see that red light anymore. It was the beginning of the end. Lol
