Take A Whistle Stop Animated Tour Of Nintendo's Hardware History

cool video, great music. they didnt mention the virtual boy in it

That's quite awesome and @coolvw93 ssh, we're trying to forget that ever existed!

Very cool graphic design used

I love my Virtual Boy.

I liked it. It had a cool setup and what is the virtual boy?

@squashie haha true i forgot, ill say nothing more about "it"

The Virtual Boy is Nintendo's greatest HeadHeld of all time. lol It was the first 3D system released in 1995

@zoroarkrules25 The console that shale not be named!

Wait wait wait wait wait... Wait.

Did they just use Pokemon GSC gameplay for the Game Boy Micro?

Note the suspicious absence of the Virtual Boy.

LOL on the Virtual Boy comments! Only the NL community and long time Nintendo fans would remember and cry foul at the absence of this infamous system. Still, it's a cool little video.

Cool video! Weird that they missed some systems though

This was really cool, but what about the GBA SP?

No GBA SP, Gameboy Light, and Gameboy Pocket. Nonetheless, that was still a great video.

@Morptroid - Yeah I noticed that too, it is impossible to play those on one last I heard isn't it?

That was awesome. Nice music, nice illustrations, love it.

@Nintex The Virtual Boy is pretty awesome indeed. I own every game for it, including Jack Bros. (except 3D Tetris, lol), and I have to say, it's pretty rad. Great games, but horrible hardware to run them on.

I'm surprised the GameBoy SP wasn't mentioned.

No GameBoy Advance SP? No GameBoy Pocket?

I've owned many of these consoles & loved all of them. Though I didn't et in to the Wii. To my shame the last gen was my 'core' gaming days & obviously the Wii was just too much fun & didn't take itself seriously enough for me. Like a prodigal son I've returned to the flock with a rather sizable investment in a Wii U Premium & a few games on top. Though if I ever feel like becoming that little moaning git again, going on & on about my K/D ratio, it's good to know that Nintendo have catered for that side of me. My Wii U is going to take pride of place as a console that me & my family can enjoy equally.

@coolvw93 : Nobody mentions the Virtual Boy; it's basically Nintendo's Fight Club.

@Korbin64 true, i promised on comment #6 i would never mention "it" again. it sorta popped in my head after watching the video because i was watching tv show pawn stars today after class and some one was pawning thier "console that wont be mentioned" off and got $80 for it

That was so cool! Very well made!

Game Boy Advance SP master race, reporting in to voice our displeasure!

Still, it was a pretty cool video.

@coolvw93 They got $80 for it?!? I remember after it bombed, I saw some selling new for under $50, maybe even under $40. I do like mine. I wish that the F-Zero game was actually made for it, and that RPG that was mentioned in Nintendo Power all those years ago.

"Nintendo has been in this business a heck of a long time - right the way back to the 1970s, in fact"

You are half right. Nintendo was actually founded in 1889 as a card game company. However, Nintendo, as we know it today, does date back to 1974.

Great vid, but it's strange that they omitted so many redesigns.

It's funny how they included the Micro but completely forgot about the SP which is the definitive GBA....

No Game Boy Pocket, Advance SP or Virtual Boy? Probably a few others too? Good stuff, though!

No Magnavox?

Very cool video but the GBA should have been shown before the GC as that came out before it.

@Skeletor I was suprised too when i saw it. but ive looked and thats about the range of one NIB and even more than that. used usually range from 40 to 60. also depends if any games come with it. the cheapest ive ever seen one for is $20, which was just the system itself, no wires or controllers.

Very cool!
