[@McCallahanIndustries]

That ended on such a downward note. I found it fascinating to see how innovative and resourceful Yokoi was, the man was a true genius. The concept of "lateral thinking of withered technology" so eloquently summarizes pragmatism and resourcefulness, it's a philosophy - it's clear to see he was a man of extreme talent from humble beginnings.

[@ssjup81]

Maybe the Wonderswan handhelds would've made it overseas as opposed to my having had to import one. lol Seriously, who knows. If he still worked for Nintendo, maybe the Wii would've been better in the sense that it would've had a design where you can do motion-play and non-motion as opposed to trying to be gimmicky and trying to use motion controls with pretty much a majority of the games outside of the older games you can dl through Virtual Wii.

[@MegaManNeo]

FynalZ0ne The old ones perhaps like the 3310 which still uses to be MY phone of choice (FUCK ANDROID, FUCK IPHONE, FUCK LUMIA!), the newer ones not so much. I saw it just past week when my department chef showed his wife's Lumia phone which fall to the ground and had a defective display. Good luck one of the trainee's wanted to get rid of hers in trade for an iPhone thus my chef could buy it but still... those new dumbphones aren't anywhere near as rock solid as old hardware.

[@elim9054]

I wonder why that first Virtual Boy design got scrapped. It looks like it would have been a lot less uncomfortable on the player's neck, and it actually looks cooler than the bipod design (imo at least). It wouldn't have solved any of the photosensitivity-related issues, of course.

[@penguinsushi8442]

They also could've scrapped the straps for the virtual boy due to it be front heavy and would have to be held up by a stand, so that could be why. (I don't know the weight of the virtual boy. This is just a guess.)

[@ShadicYPG]

its so funny how people think Nintendo is horrible when without them not only would there not be so much of the things we call normal in games today but they were ultimately what inspired companies to enter the gaming world with their success

[@natelee7283]

without nintendo the gameing indestrey would have disapered

[@AmayaHinageshi]

It is possible for something that was once great to become mediocre. I don't really have a personal opinion on Nintendo, but it's just a thought.

[@natelee7283]

sorry for my engrish

[@natelee7283]

yeah been working on my gramer its what i struggle with the most

[@ThoughtLinguist]

I reckon mankind would still be as technologically advanced today without the invention of the Gameboy. Maybe gaming would be more advanced. Certainly though with today's technology, Handheld gaming would still be present. You can find examples on the net of old gaming machines being used to a modern potential. Maybe the Gameboy, other old consoles and industry standards did actually slow the gaming industry and capability of machines.

[@MAZZ0Murder]

I'm still annoyed by the fact that I never had a Gameboy Camera/Printer while growing up :P

[@2401blue]

I'm sure those who actually had one still have nightmares of strange men in dark abysses, screaming "WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?"

[@OtakuMan05]

Rest in Peace Gunpei Yokoi, a true genius of the gaming and electronics industries.

[@argoth83]

It's a shame that the Virtual Boy failed. It was an interesting idea, but badly executed.

[@JJAB91]

It was simply too ambitious for it's time. The technology required simply didn't exist yet.

[@argoth83]

Agreed. I think the Dreamcast had a similar problem. Good game library, great tech, but in that console's case, the tech was too pricey at the time, so it failed. Then the PS2 came out, and we all know how that went.

[@kingguy4512]

The retail version of it is said to be just a late prototype that Nintendo rushed to release according to many rumors surrounding its creation.

[@LeviathanRX]

I have mine tucked away with the good games waiting to be plyed again, all alone and sad wishing it had a friend :`^(

[@GenkiGanbare]

JJAB91 "Too ambitious for its time, the technology required simply didn't exist yet" is the best way to sum up Nintendo's entire lifespan and achievements.

[@BeigomaStudios053]

that gameboy belongs in a international space museum, if there already isn't a museum for that.

[@Adowel123]

The reason why the Game Boy worked when it did over the higher technology systems, was because kids weren't spoiled about graphics. Now most gamers are overly whiny about graphics over gameplay.

[@browsertab]

Thank you Yokoi! Handheld gaming has come a long way since then and, quite frankly, it's more engaging and interesting than the consoles today.

[@StaticDedenne]

You don't mess with a GameBoy... those things are invincible.

[@supervegito2277]

tandem1963 technically yes but as you can see the graphical detail wasnt that great either and may very well have contributed to its failure... 3d gaming does exist cough 3ds cough, and does better than the virtual boy ever did... Hardware improvements i say.

[@francescojang6661]

4:09 NO. It was Hyundai who sold Nintendo games in behalf of Nintendo. Samsung sold Sega games and its gaming system. After Hyundai Electronics decided to discontinue selling Nontendo products a company named Daewon started to import games and the system directly from Nintendo of Japan, until Nintendo finally decided to enter the Korean market around 2007. And I can't believe that no Korean actually pointed this out.

Yokoi also created Wario. And thanks to Miyamoto's stubbornness with things not created by him, we will never have a proper Wario Land/World sequel ever.

[@dreamer72]

...wait what the.... isn't Wario World a sequel to the Wario Land's? So he did make a sequel to Wario Land.... meaning you contradicted yourself.

[@dorko4u]

It wasn't that long ago that we got a Wario Land game for the Wii, but yeah, it would be nice if we got another Wario game that's not Wario Ware. I used to dream about getting another Mario platformer game where Wario is a playable character, but... that dream is a bit dead now.

[@dumbcatposter]

dorko4u Warioware is a game about doing fucking simple tasks over and over and over. 10/10 WORTH THE 40 DOLLARS.

[@DevaAshera]

To be fair, the concept of Wario was made by Yokoi, but Wario himself was designed by Hiroji Kiyotake. I can't find info on who actually designed Daisy, but since Yokoi created Super Mario Land as well, her creation could be credited to him as well.

[@MrToxicB1izzard]

What the hell are you guys talking about? Didn't we get "Wario Land Shake It" in 2008 for the Wii? It is an amazing game, I own a copy.

[@artvandelayimports]

The reason the Virtual Boy failed because it wasn't a complete system. Nintendo wanted to move the development staff to the n64 team and the Virtual boy was rushed

[@CaptainLagSpike]

if they had the time it probably would have turned out something like the oculus rift instead of a pile of poo

[@artvandelayimports]

Captain LagSpike True but look at how much of a success the N64 was

[@ChargeJN]

what about the headache inducing red 3d graphics

[@seank4380]

Geek from The inter-nate That's a load of crap, very few actually get headaches while playing, and it's mostly due to an improperly focused system. In fact, the Virtual Boy could help exercise your eyes and can improve your vision. Developers were even looking at building special applications for doing this before the system was cancelled. And don't give me that crap about being only Red killed it, the Gameboy pocket was released after the VB, with a way worse screen, and everyone loved it. I think it failed because of terrible marketing, and the anti-social nature of playing the system. If they actually had released the link cable alongside it with some cool 2 player games that properly took advantage of the systems strengths it could have been a much different story.

[@pieceofshitweeb150B]

It would have been a red Game Boy

[@CoxTH]

Anddo Nah, just because you can turn off 3D on the 3DS it isn't a DS. I thought that it would have been a good idea to make 3D optional so that people who get sick from 3D could still have used the console.

[@pieceofshitweeb150B]

CoxTH Not the same analogy. The 3DS without the 3D still has the superior technology. The Virtual Boy used the same architecture as the Game Boy, the only differing element was the 3D and its red tint.

[@14catorce]

Anddo game boy had a 8bit 4.2 MHz processor and virtual boy had a 32bit 20MHz processor. Not the same architecture at all. Virtual boy may be crap, but in what world a game boy would be able to move a game like Red Alarm?

Super Pancake Bros. I used to have a giant Game Boy shaped case that I would store all my handheld gaming stuff in.

[@jacktangent]

Being the first EVER video game console I EVER played, you just gotta love it.... Some of these facts I didn't even know!

[@BlackMetalBlackHeart]

I sunk countless hours into the original GameBoy. I knew a lot of these facts, but it was still fun to reminisce.

[@BZLentertainment]

Gameboy is love, Gameboy is life!

[@ChrisVsTheBacklog]

Love everything about this. I still have my game boy and my virtual boy. Some quality gems out there for the game boy.

[@358thorn]

I have a Super Game Boy. It's pretty cool.

[@saint2650]

[@47keyblader]

Sinclair Fruciano That's a strange way to spell seductive.

[@LordVanityD]

Best picture I've seen

[@AnimatedGalaxy]

It works too. My sister's friend gave me a working copy of Pokemon Crystal and it plays just fine.

[@beelzeburbia]

For anyone interested in the first song, it's Float Islands from Kirby's Dream Land. In case any of you were on the hunt like I was.

[@martinzivota171]

[@VideoGameCheatSource]

Anyone else remember those creepy ass pictures from pressing run on the gameboy camera?

[@PsycoticGameAholics]

What are you running from?

[@CristianMartinez-rg9sz]

Why do they exist?

[@Jess-iq1bw]

I cried. . . . . .

[@Millahtime]

I still have my gold gameboy camera :). Along with my gold gameboy pocket. Man, turning that camera on and seeing some of the pictures I took when I was a child, nostalgia overload

[@ivantheartist]

The GAME BOY was awesome for kids growing up in the 90s...such amazing times to be a kid. Do a game boy advance DYKG!!!

[@TheOneRebornElyrize]

I still call my handheld console a gameboy.. Its a habit I cant break. First I had 4 different game boys and then suddenly ''DS''? NOP! ITS A GAME BOY! Ill never stop calling my 3DS a game boy Q_Q

[@CastleToastM]

***** Haha, I do that to my dad. He can't stop calling the DS a gameboy lol

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

***** how I see it is that it's like calling your motorcycle a bike. Oh, and did you know that the DS wasn't called something with the word "gameboy" in it because they were afraid that it would bring more shame to the name? By the way, as a kid who grew up with a dad that does that kind of stuff all the time, keep it up! It really prepares them for what they will face in their everyday lives.

[@Prep5242]

I bring my old GBA SP with me everywhere, and all the clueless kids around me say, "Hey a DS!" And I always explain that DS stands for dual screen and let them work that out.

[@bouncycreepy]

Im liking this just because they used mario land music.

[@davidhill8565]

The last Gunpei Yokoi ever produced is my favorite Nintendo game ever, which is Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, which was released exclusively in Japan in 1996.

[@user-qi7jx7oo6f]

Never really thought about it that way... Thanks for changing my mind !!
