There’s something about the GBC that always had this comforting feeling for me . It’s so simple yet I love it

[@mst3kluv]

GBC was my first system. Mine was pure purple.

[@UltimatePhantasm]

Its all fun and games until you lose the damn thing and find out the batteries in the back EXPLODED sometime within the span of over a decade, and you find it years later with dried acid on the back. into the trash compactor it went sadly... such is life.

[@MonosShenanigans]

I think it just feels good to hold it and play my favorite games bcoz huh why not

[@packers12to80]

I was around for the original gameboy lol. I was able to buy 1 almost brand new looking besides a small smear on the screen A few months ago with 6 games some classics too like NBA jam...Zelda....Mario and 3 others . Got the original carry case as well all for 10 bucks . Even growing up in the beginning of Nintendo...I think the ds is the best overall handheld as far as games goes. But the gba comes in 2nd for sure .

[@Bwah04]

For some reason the lettering of "COLOR" gives me a nostalgia rush

[@LaughingboyLP]

I definitely feel some of this. As a kid I was the only person I knew who liked and talked about video games until I was in 8th grade, so I had to either do my own research and bought a lot of weird stuff along the way, or miss out on a lot of stuff that everyone now is like "this is required gaming." Now that I have my own money I've been trying really hard to go back and pick up things that I wanted as a kid but never had the chance.

[@cheetah672]

I love game collections like these. Yes, it’s cool seeing people with a million shelves lined with all the greatest games, but smaller collections tend to have more character and reflect on games you played when you were younger/less in tune with collective gaming opinions

[@geealion]

“Maybe someday when I’m finally stable” is the whole millennial mood ;_;

[@ninetailedwisp413]

watching this video was comforting to me in a weird way. retro games are a safe place to me- can't explain how wonderful it is to sink into my old games and just relax. but navigating how to find and obtain older games and consoles? an absolute nightmare to my abnormal little brain! i end up adding maybe one or two games to my collection a YEAR- and i've never worked myself up to looking for a console i don't already own. just seeing and hearing about so many old games collected is wonderfully comforting in a way i don't get to often experience

[@wellplayod1957]

My town has a lot of places where old games are sold. The ones near me have so many retro consoles in there and I was able to find a Japanese copy of Pokemon Red and Japanese Kirby's Dreamland 2 both for 20$. It may be hard to find where to look, but once you find them, then they seem to always have new stuff!

[@tyjuarez]

9:38 "Intellectual Tama plays ecchi games for the novelty" i feel attacked by this strangely relatable content

It’s interesting seeing all the neat gameboy color games and accessories, coming from my perspective of starting with the gba. I look forward to seeing more of these collection videos!

Oh wow my first console was the DS (I was in 3rd grade) so seeing all the GBC stuff is like peeking into a whole other world that I never experienced. I think it’s really fascinating. Like the batteries for the memory of the game? I didn’t know that was a thing! Anyway I really enjoyed this little video and I admire how you care for your collection

[@NitroIndigo]

The font in that Hamtaro game looks really nice.

[@ReeseyPuffy]

How dare you make me feel nostalgic and want to spend all my money on a million Game Boy Color games I don’t need

[@Bofner]

Ah man, that moving all the time thing you said really hits home. It's so stressful collecting retro games and consoles and having to think about what you're going to do with them when you move next

[@StarDev94]

It is very intriguing seeing all these hidden Game Boy Color gems you have, Tamashii. I am seeing some games that I didn't even know existed!

[@RecklessHustleHard]

Yo I’m so jealous of your collection! Looking through all your old collectibles made me so nostalgic for old tech games. They were so unique. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏼

[@CosmicNebula444]

When she showed her collection of early Pokemon games, having an english and japanese cartridge of most of them, I thought to myself "Oh, she needs a japanese copy of Blue." Then I remembered.

[@went22]

It may be a smaller collection than most youtube nerds' ones but the white shelves and the way it's organised make it pretty nice looking. Also I get what "cheap collecting" is. I got a Japanese Red for 10€ at a retro convention one because "it's just Pokémon red, why charge more".

[@NitroIndigo]

Now I feel like becoming a DS game collector.

[@tekunachikushi9847]

Goodluck finding a legit HGSS with PokéWalker. Had a hardtime finding one. On Ebay it's already on $100+ and thats just the Cartridge, no box or anything at all.

[@sadv0m]

I thought the way that you described the fleeting nature of the retro gaming experience to be fleeting in an almost Alzheimer-esque way really beautiful, and incredibly sad. You’re thoughtful, and I’m so so sooo glad I’ve been able to enjoy your videos of the last 7 years.

[@liamheneghan4977]

[@dbzcentral792]

Everything looks so amazing. For real you got some rare gems and seeing all the Pokémon carts made me feel so happy.

[@taikiph130]

Your gameboy color collection is amazing, I remember back when I got Pokemon Silver during my childhood, looking back to it I regret throwing the box away. This video was a trip down memory lane, thank you for making this vid

[@amightygrizzly]

You've got an awesome collection. I'm not a game collector, but my brother is. I've been calling him the "Collector" and we store the wonderful history and new world of gaming in the "Vault"(his other room XD). So, each time I find a cool guide, genuine boxart, or buy a new game, I eventually give it to my brother for future playing or newer generations. So, I find it awesome that your doing your own part in saving the wonderful history of gaming :)

[@altruisticsloth]

Holy crap, NOW I remember where I know your voice from; that Completionist pokemon video you guys did years back. It's cool seeing all of y'all still making quality content.

[@chaike9001]

Idk why but your channel randomly popped into my head and decided to revisit nostalgia

[@duncan91]

I'm happy you're still around Tamashii! Been a fan since I was in middle school. Crazy how time flies.

[@stinkbrain2566]

I wasn't alive in the GBC's heyday, but there are so many strange oddities and good games on the system that sound interesting to me. It's crazy how you own many variations of the same console too! I have a really strange and unusual video game related collection myself (random Pokemon toys, games for consoles I don't have, Capcom figurines, Chicken Shoot, etc.) and loved seeing that I wasn't the only one with this kind of collection. Also as a side note, the Sailor Moon stuff is really cool.

[@Schluebricant]

I still remember going into a pawn shop-like store where they also sold a lot of games and consoles and whatnot when I was like 5 or 6, and my parents bought me a teal GameBoy Color, Pokemon Silver, Metroid II: Return of Samus, and Tetris. Sadly I don't have any of them anymore, but I've been trying to slowly get some more stuff like that from when I was a kid, and I've gotten Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Crystal, so I still feel super nostalgic when I play those.

[@TsukiCondor]

I am quite envious of your collection. Game boy is quite the nostalgic handheld. And classic game is so unique and special. Very cool that you can enjoy it.

[@samwillpiercetheheavens2263]

I used to watch your videos when I was little, but forgot about them for a while. Yesterday I was considering buying a gameboy cartridge in Japanese, but wasn't sure if my English gameboy could play it. I then remembered that you might of made a video on that subject, so I tried looking it up. Couldn't find your channel, so I looked up "pikachu draw my life", as I remembered you as the girl who wore the pikachu hoodie. Anyways, I'm glad to be back :)

[@link28469]

It's so cool to hear of a collector with a similar backstory. Love it!

[@joniivee]

I really like not only seeing some interesting oddities (I had no idea Pia Carrot had a GBC port and seeing complete-in-box games especially is always a joy) but hearing about your individual experiences with each game. A lot of people have said that this video feels cozy and I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see more of these for other consoles if you ever want to try more short-form stuff between video essays! :D

[@hananezumi]

You have a lovely collection. It may not be as big as others, and the items may not be in pristine in quality, but it's a diverse selection of gems that you have stories behind. I think that's wonderful.

[@rachelwhoareyou5959]

I think that the pinball copy on the left (with the more faded E rating) might be your original one. Back in the day, that faded E was the “logo”, but they updated it sometime after. Great video!

[@aurafox1]

That bit about tearing off the labels of the pokemon games as an attempt to avoid being bullied for the games you played honestly hits really close to home for me. I remember around when HGSS were new, I was in middle school where, for one reason or another, boys, including myself, were obsessed with growing up. Because of this, anything that was considered childish was seen as degenerate and you were made fun of for enjoying it. This developed such a bizarre complex in me where I was ashamed to like the games I did. It got so bad that I couldn't even say "Nintendo" without cringing at myself. I tried to force myself to leave my favorite games and to enjoy "normal games" like Call of Duty and Halo, but of course I always ended up coming back to my true favorites but because of the constant bullying, I would never tell anyone what I enjoyed and easily got embarrassed whenever I spoke about games because I was self-conscious about how much time I spent playing video games instead of being social. Yet part of the reason I spent so much time doing that was because I was too afraid to just be myself because being myself led to me being bullied relentlessly. I remember putting my pokewalker on my belt loop like it was advertised and then looking at myself and feeling my heart sink. I thought I looked so stupid, so I quickly just crammed the thing into my pocket instead to try and hide it. Then one day in gym class, I was changing clothes in the locker room when it fell out of my pocket and I got in trouble (my school had very strict rules against electronic devices). I remember feeling so ashamed when everyone around me started making fun of me for still playing Pokemon. That was just one example, too. Middle School was easily the roughest time of my life.

[@GormGear]

I feel like i'm currently in this phase of my life with Gameboy Advance games and especially collecting the gen 3 games and different translucent shell consoles, god help me when I move out.

[@Klonoahedgehog]

Same, I tend to just buy random GBA games whenever I find a stack of them at a used shop. A have a massive stack of them just lying in a drawer next to my bed and I frequently play Sonic advance and Megaman Battle network 3.

[@GormGear]

@aIysdexia Fantastic

[@marksmithwas12]

I'm only 1 and a half minutes in, and I have a lot to say already! Like wow, you owned the DS Browser too? You have Pokémon Typing adventure! Did you like it? Why do you have 3 copies of Pokémon Black 2? And can I have 1? Lol What you said about how your collection came to be is the exact same story for me as well. Not having a lot of games growing up, buying lots as I got older to explore the games I missed out on, going for the weird/intriguing stuff, things being cheaper and more available back then, and being drawn to older games for the kind of charm they hold above modern games. I've found some pretty neat discoveries over the years! Maybe I should do a video like this too? Maybe? 😝 *Continues watching* To this day, the only Gameboy line games I've owned that have had their batteries die are Pokémon titles, and that excludes the Gen I games. I have no idea how they've all lasted this long but I'm really happy, they could be hanging on by a thread for all I know, ready to die any time soon but when that happens I think I may just let them be, idk? I don't really make much time to play my old games anymore, not because I don't like them or have beat them, but because I have so many games now and get so easily lost in the present. Because while I'm still chasing the past (the old games I've still yet to find, play, and lose myself in), great games are happening in the present that come and go in the blink of an eye. Like Skyrim for instance. I bought a physical copy for PC when it was new. I still haven't put that disc into my PC yet, and have not experienced Skyrim. There is just so much entertainment in this world that I can't get through it all. Not even my hand picked selection. With quarantine going on you'd think I have more time now than ever, but the strange truth is that I don't feel affected. I was a shut in before and still am now, and I've had no disruptions to my work schedule as I work in retail. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have a job! I just don't know when I'll find the time to get through the games I really want to give attention to.

[@neodude1993]

Nice! It's pretty interesting to see your GBC collection to see what else was out there.

[@decadentgamer3108]

I love these kinds of videos and I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing one of your own so this was a nice surprise. Seeing your collection, it makes me wish that I was able to hold on to more of my old gaming stuff as well and I mean, I do still have some of my old games from childhood but things like my Yellow Game Boy Color, our original PS1, original copy of Pokemon Red, Gold and a few of my other GBC & GBA games? I sadly lost them all in storage and my father ended up losing the storage unit back in 2014 before we could go back to retrieve anything we may have wanted to hold onto (The struggles of moving to a different state amirite? LOL). So I get really envious but happy when I see other gamers able to hold onto their original games & consoles that mean a lot to them. I totally feel you on preferring to having game boxes than not having them at all. There's just something so sentimental and beautiful about having old game boxes to decorate your shelves with! Of course then you have to worry about running out of room but hey, acceptable difficulties right? Something I can say that I did hold onto were a lot of my old game manuals. Like I used to be obsessed with keeping game manuals from every game I got and thankfully, I kept a lot of the ones I had for the GBA in this old tub box that I still have today that I keep in my closet haha. I think it's cool that you managed to keep and find so many GBC games. I don't know why but whenever I see those old GBC cartridges, I get this big rush of nostalgia, especially because those kinds of catridges don't really exist anymore, it's truly a relic of it's time though you could say that about the GBA cartridges as well. Anyway I'm done yammering and nerding out, don't want to make a wall of text like I can be prone to doing but this was a fun video, thanks for sharing!

[@Angultra]

Awesome collection! You should get some box protectors which makes damaged boxes feel fresh and prevents further damage.

[@TrueSolunar]

The Tamagotchi game you have is based upon the Osutchi/Mesutchi set... When the two units are raised to adulthood, you can link them together and breed them... There are close to ten different Tamagotchi games for Nintendo consoles... There are: Tamagotchi (Game Boy, Super Game Boy compatible, based off the first two generations, first game I killed the battery on) Tamagotchi 2 (Game Boy, may work with Super Game Boy 2, based on the Forest and Ocean Tamagotchi versions, Japanese only) The Osutchi/Mesutchi game you have (Game Boy Color, unknown Game Boy/Super Game Boy 2 compatibility, Japanese only) Tamagotchi Corner Shop (DS, Mini-game based, the Tamagotchi you pick has games themed around them, multiple save slots available so you can play all games without having to lose your progress) Tamagotchi Corner Shop 2 (DS) Tamagotchi Corner Shop 3 (DS) An N64 Tamagotchi game (Japanese only) Tamagotchi Party On! (Wii, may be like Mario Party, but Tamagotchi-themed) These were the ones I could think of off the top of my head, they are relatively inexpensive, too...

The Gameboy Colour was the first system that was 100% mine. We had a Playstation, Gameboy Pocket and Megadrive but we kind of shared those. Eventually the Playstation was basically mine! Anyway it was my first system and until this year I had one Gameboy Colour game, Pokemon Gold. (I also had a second copy at one point but now I have neither.) I got Monster Rancher Battle Card GB for it this year and finished too. I loved the sequel on the Playstation so I always wondered what the first game was. The sequel is much better but it's still cool to have finally played it all those years later. Before I had Pokemon Gold I played Pokemon Yellow on it and I didn't know until years later that the game worked on the original Gameboy! Anyway, awesome to see another Tamashi video. KZbin kind of buried your videos from my sight for a while but I seem to be getting notified again. :)

My Game Boy collection is pretty eclectic too. :) I got my first Game Boy in 1994 (Link's Awakening bundle) and still have a lot of my games from when I was a kid, complete with the boxes, but that isn't what makes it "eclectic." ;) Like other enthusiasts, I got stuff like the Mega Memory Card and Game Shark Pro but I took it a step further and got stuff like the GB Camera printer transfer cable, the Gold Zelda special limited edition GB camera, the Bung Doctor GB Card and Game Boy Exchanger, the Playstation Multi Xchanger with Game Boy slot, the Singer Izek Game Boy Color sewing machine with Sewing Machine Operation Software cartridge (Jaguar JN-100 with "Raku x Raku Mishin" in Japan), and so much more. When I went to Japan a few years ago I ended up coming back with everything from a Super Game Boy 2 to GBC Dance Dance Revolution complete in box (with custom controller attachment for GBC).
