DARKSCORPONOXR Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 im not surprised when they've had the luxury of growin up with the latest technology of handhelds, android devices and home games systems... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not sure why this would surprise people, as dark said, your average mobile phone give a more 'beautiful' experience of games than the gameboy ever could. Gameboy was defining in the world of mobile gaming, but now only nostalgia keeps the memory going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand dan Glokta Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 hard video to watch since I can't stand kids, but none of the reactions were surprising. that kid in the green shirt looks alot like a younger version of my brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnoSensei Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Dylan is the only kid that gave me hope that kids will appreciate it but Tyler........that kid is a dick, he didn't had to tear it a new one just cause it is old.

Shadiochao Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I thought most of their opinions were quite fair. It was good for its time, but everything about it would be considered a flaw using today's standards. Without nostalgia they can just see it for what it really is, or what it has become, at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Soon as they gave the kids the magnify glass all memories came flooding back to me. Doing Pokemon trades and had to use that lead to connect the two devices also using the magnify glass and Game-boy pouch etc,, Those days had so many memories and tbh the comments by the kids were fair. They probably won't appreciate consoles like Sega Mega drive or the PlayStation 1 being as of now, the tech has advanced so rapidly.

PREDRAG-K Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I love these react videos. The kids always hate the old technology they are shown, but what can you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I love the original gameboy, but it obviously can't compete by today's standards. But same will go for the Ipads/Ipods and what not. Kids react to Ipad in 2035 on whatever version of Youtube we'll have by then: "This piece of junk doesn't even have virtual smell!" (It will happen!) "Doesn't the screen project holograms?" "Doesn't this thing respond to brainwaves? Why isn't it turning on?" "This thing sucks, it's heavy, it's ugly, it has clunky operation, I'm so sad for the kids of 2014" And then these kids will be in their late 20s/early 30s feeling all nostalgic and hurt by what the kids are saying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARKSCORPONOXR Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) its only idiots that would think a piece of gamin history is junk... kids can be forgiven for bein young but ppl that are older should realise that without nintendos gameboy influencin technology trends, handheld devices would probably not exist the way they do now... it changed and shaped the portable device market and took quite abit of mario/pokemon sales money to do so lol... they also revolutionised the AA/AAA batteries industry lol... they also did the same for home gamin systems up until about... ooh... i'd say late 96' where they finally started puttin the final nails in their own coffin with a little helpin hand from sony ofcourse lol ninty has never been the same since...
