Good ol' bimmy and jimmy

Man it feels like this kid came up out of nowhere and stomped the longstanding competition. His runs are dope, good for him

Well I mean, it's part of the entertainment industry, so it makes sense to me. They're selling products to consumers to make money. They don't want you downloading TV or movies, either. Piracy doesn't bother me, I just choose to buy everything out of convenience. Click button, game downloads and plays as intended on idiot proof hardware that requires one button press to launch. Easy for a dummy like me!

All my old discs are sitting in the closet underneath piles of boxes and shopping bags. It's been several years since I've looked at them last but I'm sure they're fine.

So I assume by North America you mean the states, because there is no mention of such a thing on their Canadian channels.

You fools, you're giving it exposure! It'll be on Nintendo's radar before you know it

Aw Henk Rogers, I love that guy! Can't believe he took on the KGB and won

... I want to play this.

I don't think Ricky, Julian, and Bubs would put up with that.

Always funny when some young punk makes a "discovery" about a game we all knew about back in the day. Then I remember that the world now belongs to said punks.

I call him Stephen Tostitos

@Nua I actually have replaced the batteries in my Gold and Silver carts. Red, Blue, and Yellow are still working fine, though.

Joke's on them, I have all the original hardware, cartridges, and a link cable to trade the correct way.

The BS stands for ********, right?

Play it loud, ************

Something more to say

Everyone knows it's Donkey Kong Country 2, it's not up for debate.

Holding out for the Rocky Wrench collection

Super Mario 3D World, I'd say. I remember launch day quite vividly because I bought it in a super funny way. It came out the same day as the Xbox One so I went to the Xbox midnight launch event at EB Games, then asked for Mario lol

That indigo one is super hot. I ain't holding my breath, though. Not gonna be able to snag one this time, either. They need to do something about the stock, man.

They open up during working hours, huh? Forget it, supplies won't last more than a few minutes.

Primarily handheld for me via Switch's NSO and original hardware. I will say that it is exceedingly rare for me to see Game Boys and DSes out in the wild; I've seen people playing a DS three or four times over the past few years and I've never seen a Game Boy out there. I once played my Game Boy on the bus during a commute and got heckled for it.

I'm personally not very broken up over this just because I place no value on preservation beyond, "oh well that's unfortunate 🤷‍♂️" But I do very much recognize the work and passion others bring to it so I do feel bad for their sake.

If anyone should understand the importance of proper social conduct and scheduling meetings, it's the Japanese. Very sad 😢

They most certainly are for me! You see, the Game Boy is my favourite system of all time. It was the first console that was truly mine and I could play whenever I wanted. As opposed to being kicked off the TV when dad got home from work. So I'm pretty tickled to see those games added to NSO.

I'd like to know why, after 17 years, this place is now all of a sudden a target. Even though I've never been, I'm still a huge fan of the store for how cool it is, and I love the co-owners as well for their other work in the industry. Just sucks, man.

I'm not like super into collecting but I have a nice little Game Boy collection and I play those carts on Game Boy hardware. Usually my GBA SP for the lit screen but occasionally my Pocket or Color if I'm feeling extra nostalgic. The closest I get to emulation is NSO/VC. I have a mental preoccupation with my games being played in an official capacity. Downloading ROMs and using emulators just feels wrong to me, and I just can't get into a game if it's played in this manner.

This thing is super groovy and I want one, but man that price is a tad bit unpalatable for what it is. I can kind of see it being justified with the two dozen games you're given, but I am not keen on paying that entry price. Now, were I to happen across one with a reduced price...

I'd love to get one, Game Boy is my jam, but man is it ever expensive!
