Retro Tech: Game Boy 

10:55 Marques: "It's not bad" Casey: "It's impressive" Marques: "It's not bad" Casey: "It's impressive"

"Nice to meet you. NOW PUT ON THIS BLINDFOLD"

Damn, 4 years? I remembered when this episode first dropped. We need more retro tech Marques!

It wasn't painful to be a kid back then, it was so much fun. Those childhood adventures will be with me forever.

This should be a benchmark for top tier quality videos damn it was crisp asf well done MKBHD.

Jerry rig everything: i do the most intense testing on every piece of tech Mkbhd: hold my flamethrower

I just love the fact that they had a surprise tech underneath their chair and still they came prepared to talk about gameboy.

Whole childhood in a palm of hand. Helped me through so many things in life as a kid

In this vid: game boy survives flamethrower last vid: folding phone broke cause the protective layer was torn off

"Look Under Your Chair" MKBHD is the tech Oprah. Change my mind.

Whenever I hear that chime, it always bring me back to my childhood days where I was addicted in playing gameboy

This man always tries to do something and extra ordinary and make his audience fell excited for every next, love you

God DAMN! the production quality in this is top notch. well done.

finally a RU-vid Originals series that is worth watching

That struggle to open the game case was the most nostalgic part for me 😂

Who else is here because this is the most viewed video on this channel and we wanted to know why 🙂

The quality of this video, or I should say documentary is so crispy. 12/10.

Retro Tech, DOPE or NOPE? Definitely DOPE!!!!!!! A+ for this! Can't wait for the rest!

keeps getting recommended to me after 2 years, but ain’t gonna complain 😂

Brings back so many memories. Thanks for making this masterpiece!

I didn't think i was gonna watch the whole thing.. but 20 minutes just flew by. Amazing work, Marques!

2:00 "Think Like 1989" 😆 Marques handled Old Tech the same way Old People handle New Tech.

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.

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.

I'll never forget coming home with that *_clear-purple Gameboy Color..._*

2019: retro tech- game boy 2049: retro tech- airpods

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. ❤

The production on this is 11/10

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.

I was a 90's kid but my first portable tech was still an OG Game Boy. I have fond memories staying after school, sitting in one of those plastic tubes, finding the right angle of sunlight, and playing Pokemon Blue. More fun than surfing on a phone today.

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.

The next Retro Tech episode just HAS to be for the Walkman. Nothing comes even close.

I would love to see some more of these videos. Your delivery is amazing. Thank you for the great content, Marques

Wow! Brings back so many memories !! Great show and exploration of how we got to where we are now. 10/10 to Marques.

The moment he opened the carton I almost cried :D So freaking expensive nowadays if it's still sealed.

"The flame really encompassed the totality of the device" ~Casey Neistat -2019 😂

So glad to seem Marques finally get a RU-vid original!!

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.

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 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!

Phenomenal work man 👏

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

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!

A RU-vid Original series by MKBHD... *Is this what you wanted?*

Nokia 3310 : Survives a fall Gameboy: Survives a nuclear explosion

So happy the Game Boy is your most popular video. This tech was absolutely my childhood and glad I wasn't alone.

I can imagine them as seniors and cherishing this and the good old days while we have virtual reality gaming.

5:26 God bless that one guy who got bored, im convinced thats the reason we all have smart phones today.

Feels weird watching MKBHD on a TV style edited video and no 18:9 aspect ratio 😂

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.

Bringing back memories of my Game Boy, loved the soundtrack!

Now THIS is the kind of content I subscribed for. This video was awesome!

Gameboy: I survived flamethrower! Just peel off the screen protector. Galaxy fold: What SCREEN PROTECTOR??

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.

That was my gaming system when I was 14-15! Couldn't afford anything better. $50 for GB against $99-129 for SNES

Wow, Marques. This is next level video production. You've made a short form documentary.

_"Handy Boy, by STD."_ *Pauses* _"Ok."_

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.

I feel bad for kids these days. They’ll never know the anticipation that builds after you find a pack of AA batteries in your stockings on Christmas morning and slowly realize that somewhere under the tree is a brand new game boy waiting for you to unwrap.

Literally no one: Marques: LETS BLOWTORCH THIS GAMEBOY

gameboy: I can survive a bombing and a flame thrower galaxy fold : don't take my screen protecter off

I loved that "How old do you think Nintendo is?" "70s?" "1870s or 1970s?" "Aw shit"

Amazing. This video brings back a lot of my good memories playing game boy as a kid.

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!

2:12 in 1989, we didn't care for the unboxing experience

i wanna clarify...the printer...back when it was new was a deffiente dope...because it actually fully printed and was recognizable.i think in this case we have to consider the period and the product before saying its a nope.

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 💕

I'm surprised not a single person mentioned Pokémon.

I’m so jealous you got a sealed original game boy! Edit: and then you go and set it on fire :(

So, so much want. Even seeing the original boxes now sends chills. I was 7! Coolest thing a kid could own.

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.

Next videos in December? U kidding me, I want those tomorrow man

This is an extremely high quality video, it felt like an actual documentary and not a MKBHD video. Really great video.

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.

I rember so vividly the dream that I had before getting my Game Boy in 1991. So, i was asleep in my bed and I dreamt that on the table in my room was the Game Boy and got up to grab it. Thing was when i reached to get it, poof, gone, back in my bed awake and around 9 o'clock. The shop opened its doors at 10. It was a dream come true. The GB was a good friend for me while beeing in the hospital for surgery. I as sharing a room with some other children and we shared the GB, i had the Mario and Tetris cartriges with me.

Nokia: i am the strongest piece of tech ever Gameboy: hold my link cable

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!

My first gameboy was the gameboy advance. I’m so big on 90s items and I got myself a Gameboy off Ebay with Tetris and Pokémon Gold and I don’t regret it one single bit. It’s nostalgia for someone that wasn’t born until 1999!

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!!

How long did this video take to make?? This is amazing quality! I forgot I was watching a RU-vid video!

Wow, this series is going to be LEGENDARY. Marques please keep going!!

3:18 Man, those are so perfect ! Smooth, huge and beautiful !

In the 80s, life as a kid was boring. Me remembering being a kid in the 80s riding my bike all over the neighborhood, skateboarding, climbing trees, catching frogs...you know...boring stuff.

I'm glad you could use your own camera, 1080p isn't good enough.

This is great!! Production value = 10/10 Interviews = 10/10, Comedy = 10/10, Insightful = 10/10, Fun = 10/10, Token Neistat = 10/10

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 RU-vid. ur just amazing Marquez!!!

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!

Thanks to bringback the memories 💜. Beautiful childhood

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

Missed opportunity to use the Boring Company Flamethrower

Man this takes me back. Thanks for the video

Nobody: *My RU-vid recommended literally every single nanosecond of my existence:*

The entire video structure and cinematography is so good! Going to be loving this possible series!

The issue with the printer is the paper not the printer itself. The thermal paper that came in the box is decades old. Buy a fresh thermal paper and it should print fine.

So many memories with the Gameboy, this was my childhood favorite, good times ❤

7:17 one of the best things about World Wars is that companies make their products as durable as possible to survive the calamities of war. Sad thing we don't have world wars anymore.

Damn! What a good pilot for a tech show! You've packed so many great elements into this one! Great job!

"So I've been using the Nintendo Gameboy for around 30 years now and here are my thoughts"

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 👍

We need this series back it’s what started your channel
