    Feel like it should of been the real 1:1 size of the gameboy for that price

    • @Karebear42069

      February 27, 2026 at 6:43 pm

      Or the size of the box

    As a scalper I’ll be sure to buy them all up and sell them for $1000 each 😈

    Too Small – looks a little cheap .should have been original size .

    $70 for that is insane.

    Could you get back to us and see if those buttons up front click around? Just for science?? Maybe???

    I’m sorry, but you can literally buy an entire game for $70

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 6:28 pm

      You can literally buy a handheld game system for less than that. Nintendo did themselves a handful of years ago.

    It’s a cool novelty but like what’s the practicality for that and for $70?!

    • @leirex_1

      February 28, 2026 at 5:30 am

      It should’ve been a full on GameBoy Classic for that price, like the NES/SNES Classic Mini

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 6:27 pm

      I think this might be all that’s left of the Game Boy Classic concept after Nintendo’s bean counters decided to “optimize its profitability”.

  14. @rpizzaspaghetti2718

    February 28, 2026 at 12:39 am

    Not worth

  15. @darklordpsycho

    February 28, 2026 at 1:30 am

    Waste of plastic.

  16. @jorik41

    February 28, 2026 at 1:45 am

    What is this thing? Why is it $70? It should be $25 at most.

    From what I can see, the songs aren’t stored in the cartridges but in the device itself, meaning it can only ever play those 45 built-in songs. So there’s for example no future $10 other game music packs or expansions. That makes even less sense.

    We’re talking about maybe 1MB of MIDI files. The electronics can’t possibly justify that price. It’s basically a $10 device that you’re paying $70 for just to have the “privilege” of owning it.

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 5:35 pm

      Yeah, it looks like there are 6 different pins in the unit that are depressed by the plastic dummy carts to determine which track is played from a bit of internal flash. The technology in this is absurdly basic and cheap, but they’re charging as much as a full mini console. To answer your question, they’re charging this much because some people have no self-control when keys are jangled.

  17. @Drmr0b0t

    February 28, 2026 at 2:28 am

    Think $70 is crazy? Sold out at Pokémon center. People are already reselling it on eBay for $200+

    • @Mr94Kevin

      February 28, 2026 at 11:39 am

      that’s ac insane

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 5:32 pm

      People are apparently not very bright.

    All that when I could just download the raw OST to my smart phones ad card

    Expensive HitClips

    I’m so over the trend of videos that are silent and somebody is annoyingly tapping something with their finger instead of just explaining what it is we’re looking at. How about telling us how the cartridges when they’re put in showed the graphics through the screen? I have a feeling that it’s just printed on the back of the cartridges, but this video doesn’t explain that at all so I have to assume.

  21. @riquealfonso

    February 28, 2026 at 6:58 am

    Just pre-ordered mine! Eggcited!

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 6:41 pm

      Enjoy your jangling keys and feel good about handing Nintendo $50+ of pure profit, I guess.

    • @riquealfonso

      February 28, 2026 at 6:57 pm

      @JadeLombaxlove it!

  22. @ozzy9226

    February 28, 2026 at 7:16 am

    Probably one of the dumbest things Nintendo has put out in a while they keep making this crap and you people just eat it up it’s ridiculous

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 6:47 pm

      I unironically fear for society when people are this easy to manipulate.

  23. @mightymurph550

    February 28, 2026 at 9:44 am

    Wait is there a cartridge for each individual track?

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 5:31 pm

      If by ‘cartridge’ you mean piece of plastic that depresses pins and tells the unit which track to play when you turn it on, then yes. This thing makes the iPod Shuffle look advanced.

  24. @nemesis9378

    February 28, 2026 at 9:45 am

    Instead of making a real functioning old school gameboy with 1 single cartridge that can have all the songs + can play real gameboy games for 70$, they are making one single “fake” gameboy that can only play music on single card series. Both expensive, unnecessary and plastic waste. Looks cool though. Good idea bad management as usual.

  25. @gumpyflyale2542

    February 28, 2026 at 10:18 am

    Or you can liaten while actually playing the game or on youtube or the nintendo music app who would buy this wjats wrong with you ?

  26. @ssjlink4432

    February 28, 2026 at 12:53 pm

    This doesn’t even make sense Gameboy color games on a original game boy? Yall must be R3t4rd3d to buy thus kinda trash

  27. @toomanycactus3138

    February 28, 2026 at 1:36 pm

    In the early 2000’s these were called hitclips and they literally gave em out with a happy meal 😂

    • @JadeLombax

      February 28, 2026 at 6:38 pm

      It’s actually worse than that, because the ‘cartridges’ for this are just dummies.

  28. @hillarykitty_X3

    February 28, 2026 at 3:37 pm

    Those carts are going to get lost in move very easily 😅 ill just stick with online music options

  29. @matchesmalone3729

    February 28, 2026 at 4:16 pm

    😂😂😂 what a waste of money…

  30. @Astromanaught

    February 28, 2026 at 5:02 pm

    Don’t to the fingernail tap thing. Its so creepy and gross

  31. @R0DSTER

    February 28, 2026 at 5:05 pm

    lmfao…here i was confused as to how the screen appeared out of nowhere, until i finally realised that it’s just a physical drawing on the back of the cartridge 🤣

  32. @JadeLombax

    February 28, 2026 at 5:29 pm

    They could have made a mini system that could play the games for $50, instead they made this crap and are charging $70.
