What Game Boy or Game Boy Advance games would you like to see them add to Nintendo Switch?

[@guadalupesepulveda8078]

Metroid zero mission

[@charlie8907]

Gotta get those sonic advance games back

[@finallyjeremy8217]

GBA version of Cory in the House

[@queenie_bee]

I really just need all my old pokemon games. I'm a simple girl.

[@ssjichigo666]

metroid zero mission and golden sun 2, I could never get GS2 to run on vba properly, it always chugged so bad, so I really hope it comes to this service

[@ChefZaddy]

I’m jealous of Andre’s happy childhood nostalgia. Mine is full of batteries dying and blowing cartridges that never worked.

[@phuckyoucensorme]

No cartridges or removable batteries this time. 💣💥

[@martianzkingtv]

JoyCon boyz for life ! 🫶🏽

[@legomyego7711]

Real ones will know this. Rip king 👑

[@haroldtorres2710]

Joyconboyz!

[@alexanderklepp]

Andre's enthusiasm is so infectious. I have memories like I'm sure many do of playing Pokemon on Game Boy.

[@RichieB-s9l]

I agree, it's very refreshing actually. So many YT channels are very negative and everytime something gets released they crap all over it. Sure, there can be legit criticism but darn, the "negative nancy" routine gets old!

[@PaperMario64]

I grew up poor but babysat a spoiled middle-class kid. I patiently waited for him to abandon the gameboy for something else and I quickly became addicted, lol. Of course, he couldn’t stand seeing me play with his toy, so I would go through withdrawals until he forgot about it again. Great times.

[@spinjitzumasterfalcon]

While I'm no gamer or have any connection to the GameBoy, I just love seeing you geek out over things like this. When I get older, I'm glad to know that it's alright to still be a dork. 😄But man, that broken reaction is still hilarious!

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

His passion is contagious isn’t it? I love it!

[@danielland3767]

@@KatieLHall-fy1hw crazy contagious lol

[@VersatileElement]

In a way, the lag enhances the reaction

[@wstine79]

I remember getting a Gameboy in 1991. I was able to buy Dr. Mario with nothing 200 Kool-Aid points from the packages.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

The Gameboy was the first system I've ever bought so I'm super excited for it. Last year I said " Nintendo just add Gameboy and Gameboy color games to basic online and add advance games to the online+ ". They finally did it but unfortunately I already have most of these games on my 3ds but man that alone in the dark is worth it alone to buy.

[@TheNerdySasquatch]

The GameBoy Advance is a really underrated handheld that had some really great games like Mario and Luigi and Minish Cap. I'm so glad I can get to play those again and relive the nostalgia I had for those.

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

It wasn't really that underrated, it was very successful and those two games were big hits! If you want truly something underrated, probably a Neo Geo Pocket or something lol.

[@mex55]

i don't see how the GBA was underrated it was extremely successful, even the superior powered PSP didn't blow it out of the water they where neck and neck in sales

[@ramiking745]

If any of the GB or GBA Pokemon games are added in the future, I’m all in on that expansion pass.

[@rhylin26]

Fingers crossed for leaf green. 🤞

[@neptuneplaneptune3367]

It would be awsome...if unlikley, I dont think we get a mainline game. Spin Offs? Certenly, I mean where getting the Trading Card game so im sure Pokemon Pinball is a valid option, maybe even Mystery Dungoen Team Red. But any of the mainline games?...eeeehhhh we see. It certenly would be awsome. My girlfriend is realy hoping fore Emereld

[@frogtheknight3891]

I would play it if i can transfer my charizard from sword to leaf green

[@slavche]

well Pokemon trading card GAME on GBA is announced or coming if im not mistaken already announced. And I think soon they will have to announce Pokemon Gen 1 on Switch pass, or at least Gen 2/3... This will be awesome. I can't wait to play trading card Pokemon on switch but then the ORIGINALS on Switch OLED boosted fps/res a bit? + wider screen = WOW :D

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

Only need the over priced expansion pas for gba, gb available to all that has Nintendo online at the perfect price of 20 bucks a year

[@madnessarcade7447]

Andre was so hyped twitch couldn’t process it 😂

[@WateryStar]

Nice to catch this video so early! I haven't watched any Nintendo direct react videos yet, so this is the first I'm hearing about the Game Boy/Advance coming to Switch. I'm excited for the GB Advance games as there are a lot of great games on it. I didn't have many Game Boy games so that would be fun to try the classics I've missed.

[@Sjono]

Sure isn’t sus that they announced this right when Virtual Console will be taken down on Wii U and 3DS 😂

[@okanut]

My very first gaming memories are with my GBA. I am so, so excited for this! Especially Golden Sun!

[@grennbalze]

The Wii U was the teammate who stumbled on the hurdles. I would increase the levels of movement in your comparison. Game Boy Advance was sprinting. Amazing system. Not sure what to say about Switch

[@Matsuri2009]

just hearing the gb and gba sounds got my heart jumping with joy

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

They made super Mario 3D for switch with Mario 64 and Galaxy, I’m pretty set forever now (just finished 64, took me forever, and slowly going through and enjoying galaxy!)

[@KetwunsGamingPad]

I like that local play can emulate the link cable multiplayer functionality, many take for granted that now we can play these games anywhere together on multiple Switches if it were there before. May I emphasize also, it's a massive leap from having to use tethered cables to achieve that too, now all seamless and wireless!

[@kadosho02]

The Game Boy, and GBA were milestones in gaming. Their library had something for everyone. So awesome to see them return. + A vast Library to tap into

[@ysucae]

my family was poor so i missed out of the gameboy but i've been wanting a handheld experience of those games... i can't wait. (i'm just not sure about the online shit.... i don't have wifi at home. i home i just need to connect once)

[@DragonKazooie89]

I’ve been playing GB Tetris all afternoon when I should have been doing chores 😅 Now to cross my fingers for all of the main series GB(A) Pokémon games with compatibility with Pokémon Home and Stadium 1 and 2.

[@madnessarcade7447]

11:23 I’m not a dragonball fan but legendary super warrior on the gameboy is MY JAM THE MOST UNDERRATED OVERLOOKED DBZ GAME IN HISTORY Out of all the dragonball games no one talks about that one I still have it One of the few games I didn’t lose

[@dudepokemon5027]

I hope with all my nostalgic heart, mind, and soul that we get the classic Pokémon games on there for both gbc and gba ya never know maybe dreams do come true and man what a true Gameboys Heaven this will be

[@samanthaegley5067]

I would totally spring for a membership if i could get more gameboy games. I hope they keep expanding the library on there

[@MatthewSmart]

I'm very excited about this prospect, because I adore the Game Boy line. There's a special purity to the simplistic pick-up-and-play nature of a lot of those games. And on top of that, you don't really see Nintendo celebrating their handheld history nearly as much as their home consoles, despite their handhelds universally selling better. Plus, with the subscription, it opens up the door to trying new games that none of us would've considered if we had to pay for them individually. I'm annoyed that I'm genuinely tempted to get the expansion pack now.

[@_stuckinga]

Man Andre, you unlocked some memories name dropping Service Merchandise. Were you fortunate to have the Handy Boy for your Gameboy? Between that addon, the case, games, and all the double A batteries we used to carry, it was more like working out than playing games.

[@7woundsfist]

Service merchandise, that's a throwback for sure. I'm so old. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gamebrains5384]

So far I’m most happy to play Mario and Luigi superstar saga and it honestly has me really wanting to have bowser inside stories on switch but idk how there gonna put Ds games on the switch Lmao 😂

[@domblack6288]

If switch ever allows for downloads, I’m all down. I just hate that you have to pay for a subscription to access these games and when you cancel, you lose access to them.

[@ericfisher9513]

Gameboy was my first real game system with tetris and super mario land... last night i was that kid that got the game boy for the first time.

[@jeremy_cricket]

I disagree, Andre. That original reaction video is top tier entertainment! 😂

[@Yo_DynamoJoe]

The original Game Boy was my first gaming console, and started my love affair with handheld gaming. So many fantastic original Game Boy games. SML, Link's Awakening, Gargoyle's Quest, Super C, the best version of Bionic Commando, R-Type pops the capacitors, Metroid 2 I'll love you forever.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Andre thanks for the video. Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️

[@Invisiblekatana]

I had the Advance and literally only got Megaman battle network 1 lol. Got the Pac-man pinball game from a family member years after, but I played Megaman so much it still wasn't wasted money.

[@BugsyFoga]

Glad to see the gba getting some love from Nintendo.

[@carriefernandez8705]

1:02 the gba startup sound was like a dagger. all I want is Castlevania Circle of the Moon on my switch so I can leave the music playing and abandon the game as soon as I hit one of the stages with Sinking Old Sanctuary as the theme. that's literally as far as I ever got back then. (the color palette didn't help, so the switch screen should actually make this game playable for me.)

[@JeannieLove]

Tetris on Game Boy is the first game I remember playing. Mario Land 2 was the first game that was mine. My parents also had TNNT Fall of The Foot and Mario Land 1. But I sucked at Mario Land 1. And some maybe you haven't heard of, or maybe you have.

[@sorryitsjenny]

Sick home with a fever. Definitely need some Andre to get my mind off being sick! Yay!!!!! ❤

[@timtoongamer]

This is def the best gaming news of the wk imo, so happy with the games that are included for starters. def looking forward to 1st Super Mario Land game as well as Donkey Kong '94.

[@foster4241]

Can't wait for the mainline Pokemon GBA games to hit. Hopefully Pokemon day at the end of the month reveal this

[@OpenBiolabsGuy]

The audio keeps going, but the video doesn't. No wonder you hated the Twitch stream. It's funny in it's own way though.

[@5h0ckblock]

this news was so big youtube remembered I was subbed to you and recommended this video to me

[@strongarm852]

They gotta add in those classic pokemon games! Looking forward to Pokemon Direct on Pokemon Day to see what gets added! :)

[@megasxlr22]

Andre, I know you’re upset about being frozen but I think you should just let it go ;p

[@dominican200]

He freaked fan boy'd so HARD he broke the matrix🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Supperdude9]

All I want is Super Mario RPG on the Switch and I'll be completely happy. Everything else is already amazing.

[@joshuamerriweather2861]

I have fond memories of the Pokemon GBA games like FireRed and Emerald

[@KaeMcSpadden]

I hope more GBA games come on the switch like Pokémon Ruby and sapphire so I can do nuzlocke challenges, and kingdom hearts chain of memories.

[@Weasel699]

so think the pokemon tradeing card game that was on gameboy will be a seprate thing like the ones they brought back or be in the emulator and will it let us play online against others

[@1423lebronjames]

I just hate that gba games are locked behind paying more for a membership

[@donli197]

Just beat Mario land 2 and I still love it

[@Gentlemenpickleesq.]

Can these be played offline though and if not then this kinda shoots itself in the foot for me...

[@madnessarcade7447]

I still have some of my old gameboy games but I lost my gameboy color and my gameboy pocket doesn’t work

[@orinanime]

Opening with the Welcome Back song. Now I want to watch Welcome Back Kotter

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct was the BEST I have ever seen!

[@cashordeals3672]

I hope ds games come to switch soon Mario kart ds would be so 🔥

[@wewyllenium]

I think why ninendo takes their time with releasing stuff for their legacy consoles is that they have to tweak it for the switch and licensing as well.

[@willwidrick8039]

Thanks for the video! Gameboy is so great! You should consider doing more Nintendo videos

[@orinanime]

Alone in the Dark is an odd choice to include. I'm not mad. Just surprised.

[@danielland3767]

Ready 2 Rumble was my jam on the Game Boy Advance

[@vinnietheanimationgod8149]

Super excited for you Black Nerd Comedy buddy 👍❤️

[@joe95_channel]

Wow Andre, this Game Boy become nostalgic I never see

[@themothreborn]

i want DK, DK Land (maybe even 2 and 3?), Kirbys Dream Land 2 and MARIO GOLF for GB. for gba idk im cool w wutever... Nightmare in Dream Land maybe? yeah i can just play Adventure on NES but I like that game so I'll play any version. 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure my beloved

[@thevoid99]

oh.... i grew up on gameboy. that was my shit back in the day.

[@anthony_arcade6269]

I played the hell out of Pokémon blue on the OG gameboy.

[@Claymireko]

Can't hear You over My jailbreaked Vita. Tbh, i would hace liked buying the ones i wanted instead of paying For the suscription.

[@rhylin26]

If they release fire red and leaf green I’m sold.

[@TheDarkLink7]

Can't wait for Fusion to come out. I wonder if they're gonna do something like a blue tooth Gameboy Gameboy Mini Gameboy Advance kind of controller.

[@Wildcat_Media]

I still have my Game Boy Color. I played that thing so much and went through so many AA batteries… My parents were never thrilled with me when I asked to buy more batteries. 😅

[@ivanbutler6677]

Did you hear the bombshell Disney news concerning Frozen, Zootopia, and Toy Story?

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I am so excited that Game Boy and Game Boy advance games are coming to the Nintendo switch as well

[@brodogoks2526]

Love the mase singing at the start

[@hernzy]

I wish we can get some more vids like this from you and Lamar Wilson! Always great

[@coletakahashi5815]

It seems redundant since the Gameboy and the Gameboy Advance are already portable to have them on a portable console.

[@Yo_DynamoJoe]

But it's what every other Nintendo handheld console has done. Game Boy games were playable on Game Boy Color, and both systems were playable on GBA, and all three were playable on the DS until the DSi redesign, and DS games could be played on 3DS. It's tradition.

[@kosmic_overlord]

2:49 the twitch reaction is so accurate cuz I was glitching irl when the Gameboy was announced 😂

[@TBustah]

It’s cool, but I don’t really need another way to play Game Boy games, other than maybe getting another Game Boy Player at some point. It does perhaps open up the possibility of a “Mother 3” release, though.

[@Sawyerfan87]

Is Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 on Nintendo Switch ?

[@TravelersProd]

Andre buddy, for the love of God, please react to the new Mario movie teaser!

[@Weasel699]

i had thr brick too andrea and i had tetris bart escape from camp deadly and fortified zone so i hope they bring fortified zone

[@fataleflare]

I know they will not add Sonic Advanced to the GBA emulation but a collection of all three would be amazing.

[@16BitKamek]

Why wouldn't they? They already have Sega games on NSO.

[@fataleflare]

@@16BitKamek There are so many other iconic GBA games that will get on NSO first. It all depends on Dimps who developed them in the first place.
