The Nintendo handheld consoles It's not just Pokémon !!!
@Lorikreet 1 r/woooosh
Nintendo: yes Pikachu: PIIIIIIKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just imagine the guy who was playing with his calculator on the train is watching this thinking “Did I just start a multi-billionaire gaming franchise company”
IKR?! We Thank The Guy On The Train With A Calculator lolz
That guy will go to heaven, & stay there forever!
@@CentralScotlandBusesYT You always stay in heaven forever
Um.. Thanks…?
@Dark-Lord YT I approve. It’s not a link to some weird website. It’s a KZhead link
Fun Fact: A Soilder in a Gulf war brought his Game Boy to the war and it survived A Bomb Blast. It was burned but it stills works. Also it was held in a Nintendo store in New York.
HUH AN ATOMIC BOMB THAT DIDNT DESTROY A GAMEBOY HOW
@@easternbloc5529 They had No Idea That It survived and it still works.

Yah only the new thing is the commercial of it
Ahem 35 Years
@Jamie Neill when it comes to games Nintendo always known how to keep you entertained
@Jamie Neill... wait that was good
Yes
When you showed the new 2ds xl all I thought was “goodbye, old friend”. RIP ds era.
The ds era will truly be missed
Bruh same
Gameboy era was also amazing...
the new series just started production again and a new update just dropped
@ReallyFamous Player21 the new 3ds, new 3ds xl and new 2ds xl are being made again and they released an update
It’s amazing to think that all these handhelds have been technically inferior to the competition and yet 99.9% of the time Nintendo have come out on top
I can't believe that everything started with a calculator.
Ikr
you'll be surprised by what inspired the NES
I can’t believe everything started with a fake ping pong game
Then stop being stupid and living under a rock
I kkow right
The Game Boy Advance will always be one of my most favorite handhelds because when I played on Nintendo DS, I at the time used it just to play GBA games, and seeing the GBA intro brings back nostalgia and fun memories.
I still haven't played the gameboy advance but my dad can't find metroid: fusion so its going to take a while lol
we thank the guy who was in the train playing with his calculator for starting nintendo GAMING HANDHELDS
Just push the 8 button to be redirected to Nintendo, Inc.
@@dpadderz8671 yea lol
@Adi Odjidja you know there were video games before Nintendo right?
@Adi Odjidja ikr
@@dpadderz8671 yea but the best video games came from nintendo so other companies did something similar to nintendo cuz the stuff before nintendo wasnt the type of thing u have today
PSP was iconic for me but the ds takes me back YEARS
DS was trash Tho. Only 3DS competes with PSP
@@retardman5193 ds was great! sure, it couldn't compete with what the psp had to offer (besides some games using the touch screen well), but it had great, if not slightly dated, games!
@Ziyan’s Power biased kid spotted
@Kosorou Gaming Studio Archives in comparison it is
I love psp psp4life
watching the little characters jump from the screen was adorable
Nintendo is definitely the best game development company. They always try unique ideas and features, even if it may fail, but they never fail in bringing joy and fun to players which is what videogames should be about.
Nah Sony
@@joemomma6317 What's that?
That's why I'm more into Nintendo then PlayStation and Xbox.
@@joemomma6317 I love Sony too
While I love Xbox and also Sony at times... Got to agree with ya. Nintendo do it best and it's really not even close. Never resting on laurels. 1st party stuff is never released broken or unfinished.
I’m glad this video was recommended to me. I basically own every Nintendo Handheld.
Do u got any of mine
@@bigyabayamin3708 Oh shoot! I actually do not. Now I feel stupid for saying that.
@@balls5370 ok
I only got the gbc gba sp ds lite 3ds 3ds xl new and switch

You’re definitely one of the best KZhead animators. You deserve like 10 million subs
Then lets make it possible by sharing with our friends.

6:08 yaaayyyyy!!!!! My childhood memory booiiissss. My grandpa bought me one on my 3rd birthday and I couldn't even be alive without this gameboy advanced sp. Aaaaahhhh!!!!!! Such memories.😀😀😀😀😊😊😊😊😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Every time Kirby says “Hiiiii!!” it brightens my day even more.
You forgot another fun fact of Game Boy Do you know there’s a soldier who bring his game boy at the gulf war accidentally leave his game boy back there at the base. When they start bombing the base, His game boy was badly damaged but the moment he turn on IS STILL WORKS! You can find his gameboy at the Nintendo store in NYC.
Nokia: My true successor...
A soldier playing video games? Respect!
My father was in the golf war, too! Wonder if he knew that person.
@@cliffturbo2146 People often forget that Soldiers have lives too, before and after the service they sign the dotted line for. It goes without saying that those who answer the call whatever that reason be, came from all walks of life and different backgrounds. I'll spare you the speech, and obviously goes without saying, point is, it's not surprising if a Soldier, Marine, Airmen, Coastie, Sailor or whatever that may be enjoys anime, video games, or other activities that parents think are for kids or waste of time. We're still humans, we do what we gotta do. But yeah, I know what you meant whether that was figuratively speaking or whatnot. You'll know if you were in it or talk to people about it. Contrary belief, we're not Hollywood cannon fodder, we got lives too.
I went to the Nintendo store before and saw the game boy it was so cool
handheld consoles are my favorite type of console😭 I love them so much, I own a nintendo switch and I use it exclusively in handheld mode.
This is truly amazing! Keep up the great animation! You deserve 1million subs.
I never knew “Super Mario Bros. Deluxe” even existed. It looks like an actual good portable version of the Classic we all know. (You can see that game at the Gameboy Color part of the video.)
its on the 3ds eshop if you have one, for me it was priced around £4.99 when I bought it
The best KZhead Ron the planet is back with even more awesome content, get him to 10 mill
or at least 50k or 100k
I was looking for Ron the Planet channel... I'm fuggin stupid. I realize what it says now...
@Lightning [ThatOneBasicArtist] that a good idea
0:15 uses Pikachus' death voice from smash lol
It’s at 0:18
great
I still have my Snoopy Tennis Game and Watch from the 80s and it still works perfectly fine.
Yeah yeah,PlayStation and PC are dominating the gaming scene,but we can perhaps all agree that Nintendo is the best for introducing us to gaming. Almost all of us started with these bad boys. I started with the GameBoy Advance (I was born in 2002). I am a massive PC fan now but Nintendo will always have a special place in my heart. ♥️
Bro I'm with you i was born in 2002 and being introduced to game through gameboy advance by my neighbors. Now i own switch lite for the sake of Pokemon
Yoo I started with the SNES and Zelda: a link to the past, from that Zelda game, I am a huge fan of Zelda now One funny thing is that when I played Zelda when I was only 4, I would just get on the SNES and beat the whole game over and over again and I would spend hours
I love how he used the pikachu death sound from smash XD
Flatlife: the console you probably never heard about before is the Pokémon mini Me, who knows about it really well: OBJECTION!
That’s how I was too I know all about it
Still got my DS Lite in running condition and believe me, the modern gaming consoles are no competition.
Wow I wasn't expecting to see cool illustrated explanations, video/gameplay from before, and super informative calm narration. Thanks! Subbed! Edit: I'd never even heard of the Gameboy mini thing!
Thank you very much!
@@Flatlife yo
Ah I have the gameboy micro it was alot smaller than the original gameboy it was also pocket friendly and not as bulky as the regular gameboy
@Flatlife fun fact) gunpei yokoi didn't had a curly hair
you are so underrated
What a great experience to have a Nintendo DS back in the day
Me: what I will buy nintendo or pc my dad: oh my god those 2
We, as a society, must end the fat shaming directed towards the Nintendo DS.
I totally agree lmao.
Yes END THE FAT SHAMING
I would vote the ds for president
I'm fat and the Nintendo switch is responsible for it....for shame, nah jk I have boned many maids
@@patrickwannafightaboutit6338 stop the cap
As soon as I heard the DS start up sound, nostalgia hit me like a truck. Oh god and the 3DS hit me even harder.
Which one did you have? I started with a normal DS, then a DSi
I had and still have 1989 Gameboy but didn't buy another Nintendo handheld till 3DS. Most Nintendo handhelds still cost the same decades later on eBay.
First
The gameboy advance and DS had the best startup sound. Man i miss those days, turning on a Switch is boring now
Your channel is a great example of how anyone can gain a great following on KZhead if you really spend the time and effort creating great quality videos. In only 7 months and 9 videos, you've accumulated over 2.5 million views and 30k subscribers. Keep up the great work, you've earned another sub :D
Well said and thanks a ton! Quality > quantity seems to work in my favor :D
@@Flatlife yeah I watched 2 of your videos so far and I gotta say I'm loving them keep up the good work😁 it's also quite informative

Agreed
Yessss
True
what do you mean, there are 5 dislikes in this vid alone.
@@josiah9914 no one cares
I cant thank you enough for releasing this video, you literally blasted me with the best nostalgia I have had in such a long time with the first 3ds and the older ds along with some of the game boys, again thank you SOOOOO MUCH.
Wild that the Game Boy was active from 1989 through 2001. What a wild ride.
One of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched on KZhead!
63 likes and 0 dislikes - this is the quality of his vids
It also shows how lucky I'm with all these amazing people supporting my videos!
😁
It has one dislike smh
20
Are you assuming their gender? Hmmmm haha
I don’t mean to be rude but the gba sold better than the psp. Just saying
ya duh, the gba is miles better plus the psp's games were quite lack-luster
@@vishnugopinath2108 the reason why a lot of the psp owners bought it was for emulation. So not even the system itself
@@VincenttheGaminggod I was emulating psp on my phone. After a while it got pretty boring
don't give me bullshit sonyer, sony has never controlled the portable console market
GBA Is good Zelda game

Flatlife: Super Mario World Also Flatlife: Shows a Super Mario Advance 3 scene
I like how smooth the color is on the game and watch.
This video took me back to so many awesome memories my first system was the game boy advanced and I was hooked on gaming ever since thanks for sharing this
Glad you enjoyed it! I also started on the game boy advanced and never stopped gaming since!
The video I want. I appreciate your efforts that how beautiful you present evolution of Nintendo handheld games with most selling console ranking. Day by Day you are improving and making great video.
I'm very happy you notice the improvements! Thanks!
And now the OLED Switch. I can't imagine what's next. What's the next possible leap?
I think it is cool that Nintendo brought back the game and watch Zelda edition and super Mario brothers.
I hope they make more
I love how he makes videos that are entertaining for the entire 13 mintues
Let's gooo noti gang 🔥🔥🔥 haven't watch the vid yet but I know it will be perfect. I love nintendo, I had nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS, so many good memories, mainly from Mario Keep working man!! Let's get those 💯 K!!! An evolution of Lego would be amazing 😉 good bless you 🙏❤️
Thank broo!!
After all, Nintendo never fails to put a smile. Even though there are some critics,like "Joy-Cons prices are too high!" or "Joy-Cons suck!" It's still one of the best or even the best game conpany out there.
I love watching your videos. It's such a delight. Even when I'm on bad mood, the simple fact of watching any of your video bring me joy. I will be happy if you reach the billion suscribers someday. You even deserve your very own TV show. Please never stop.
Just discovered your channel. Absolutely love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Awesome to hear, thank you!
Man those pop up starting screen gets me every time, regardless of platform, genre of games or whatever it may be. This hit me right in the childhood. Never thought this interesting video was a binge watchful experience to a nostalgia train one. Nevertheless, I will always remember the people who were behind this, the friends, families and luckily I myself who overall let myself emphasize the valuable positive enjoyment, throughout my youth and still to this day. Enjoyed the video, very intriguing.
That is exactly the reason I put it in there! Thank you very much!
Fun fact, if you have both a New Nintendo 3DS and an Xbox One, you can actualy hack your New Nintendo 3DS and add an application linked with your PC that will allow you to stream your main screen on the Xbox Application that also allow you to follow a link for streaming. In the end, you play your 3DS games on your Big screen Tv with a good upscaling image quality that doesn't affect the pixels very much.
9:10 they had us in the first half not gunna lie.
Surprising That Pokémon Is The Only Franchise That Got There Own System
Well bye pokemon its gon
Gone
What?
The quality of your videos are incredible. I hope this channels grows!
The thing we have to be thankful for is the kind of video games and technology we have because back in the day people didn't have these kind of stuff that we have now in the 2000s
that DS startup hits me in the childhood XD
0:14 my fav charaters.
Recuerdo haber visto la Game Boy en su momento y no me impresionó demasiado... ahora la Switch es todo un asunto serio. Es excelente y vale cada dólar

amazing video, well done, you explained all things right and nicely. i am italian and some times i don’t understand ALL english videos, while here i understood everything because you were not too fast! thanks!!
Very glad you liked it and it wasn't too fast! I really appreciate it!
Np. When something is extremely good it has to be said
Since I was poor. I'm waiting to buy the new game and watch this November. I guess it will be cheap because it's was an old thing
Yeah but you can play more games on it and it’s in color plus it’s a watch

That part at the end where Kirby, Mario, and Pikachu are jumping and happy, that's pretty cute
Can we may get a "Evolution of Sega" it is just really nice to see your animations now can you please make a video about it?
Sega doesn’t make consoles anymore, they just make games, and that would be like evolution of EA
I know i just mean like it would be nice
This is true quality! 😁
i have an essay of the evolution of electronics, i'll definitely be using this video! thank's.
