    Every time I watch a new episode of Game Sack, I am blown away with just how much work and effort goes into every episode. This isn’t just some dude rambling over gameplay b-roll like many other channels out there. This is a legit script with research, jokes, and well-considered commentary that runs over 30 minutes, which I can only imagine must take dozens of hours for each installment from start to finish. Regardless, I would just like to take a second to tip my hat to Joe on the hard work that he puts into keeping us entertained.

    Regarding the last Game Boy game, at least for North America: it is really hard to say what the last OG Game Boy game really was, as there were a lot of Game Boy Color games that were compatible with the old black and white models. Pokémon Gold and Silver, for example, were backward compatible and they came out a year after Pokémon Yellow. Yellow itself had some compatibility with GBC as well: the color pallet would change if you went into a new town, something that the original Red and Blue would not do. This is part of the reason why I find it hard to call the GBC a separate handheld to the OG Game Boy.

    FUN FACT: The Samurai Deeper Kyo GBA Cart was actually sold in North America as a DVD BUNDLE Set with the whole entire Anime Series it's based on with the GBA Game being a "Bonus" to the Show rather than the Main Feature. Most places that sold it, like Best Buy, only had it in the "Anime DVD" Section since the Packaging was primarily for the included DVD Set. Few Stores had the GBA Game sold separately and those that did were mostly second hand after removing the GBA Box from the DVD Bundle Set wrapping it was Packaged with! 😮

    21:54 Since Final Fight Revenge is a port of the Sega ST-V arcade game and the arcade game ran directly off a ROM cartridge, I will speculate that the 4MB RAM cartridge requirement is so Capcom didn't have to spend time optimizing data loading from CD to the Saturn's relatively tiny amount of RAM by just loading the majority of the game's asset to the 4MB RAM cartridge and get the game out fast before the Saturn died in Japan. It's basically the same reason why Donkey Kong 64 also needed the 4MB RAM cart; it's a crutch to get the game out quick.

Super Battletank came after Majesco tried to revive the Game Gear, so I would call that more of an after market game.

    "I liked it more than I thought I would" is legitimately some of the most glowing praise I could expect from an individual who gets more pedantic about interlaced images then of the content of the media unto which they consume. I've attempted to wear many hats over the years; artist, level designer, photagrapher, streamer... heck, there was a point where I was planning to do long-form let's play with post-recording commentary, but I got cold feet. I feel like if I did youtube today, it'd be in the sort of realm of long-form video essays, waxing poetic on games in a style not to dissimilar to how Jeremy Parish might go about covering a game. even with lack of familiarity with the sort of game others see as a classic, I would at least try and treat it with the level of gravitas that those who were molded by that game's place in the whole of history deserves while chiding misgivings I may or may not have with the game's formula given the odd years out from it's initial debut. the fact that a director's cut of the game that single-handedly rejuvinated the game boy and shaped the lives of millions of people across the globe young and old probably deserves that sort of preamble. Pokemon's original outings brought people together, and the Yellow version brought together that bridge between people who obsessed over the Anime and those who favored the games, further strengthening bonds that for some have been life-long. Pokemon can be faulted for being a game that is held together by duct tape and dreams given how many horrible bugs plague it, that the quality-of-life refinements of their formula over 25 years makes the raw game boy games both show their age and also hold up surprisingly well at the same time, that the franchise has never really had a knack for anything even remotely resembling profound story telling... what it IS is a JRPG with a hell of an aesthetic, a suikoden-sized playable roster of characters, a combat system that is baby simple to understand but has people competing under the Red/Blue/Yellow rulesets to this day, and a sense of replay value that is seemingly bottomless. To the gamer in need of accessibility, the likes of pokemon Yellow can be their forever game, that one title they could be trapped on a desert island with a stockpile of AA Batteries/Cartridge batteries, and solder and keep themselves entertained for ages by just challenging themselves to try out Pokemon they maybe weren't familiar with in this particular playthrough. "I liked it more than I thought I would" sums it up pretty nicely, though. probably would sum up my thoughts on... literally any Falcom game if it got set in front of me and I had to come to grips with the walking into stuff combat.

    Not sure that Pokemon Yellow can count as the last Game Boy game released in some regions, since Gold & Silver are also GB compatible. The box art says they're GBC, but any GBC cart that is shaped like a plain GB cart is how you can tell if it's backwards compatible.

    In the video he mentions the last Japanese release that is backwards compatible with the original Game Boy -- the One Piece game from 2002 -- but not the last US release, Dragon Warrior Monsters II in Sept. '01. I agree about counting backwards compatible titles towards both the GB and GBC libraries.

    Pokémon Yellow was branded as a Game Boy game, and as far as I know, it really is strictly an original Game Boy game, just enhanced with a special Super Game Boy colour palette that also works on GBC. Most other non-grey cartridges are a bit of a grey area, though. ;) For one, they usually (always?) come with Game Boy Color branding, despite working on the original GB. Typically, the carts boot two different versions of the game for the two different platforms. They may look the same on the surface (Wario Land 2) or not (Conker's Pocket Tales), but either way, they're different enough that the save files aren't even cross-compatible. But then you've got games like Pokémon Gold and Silver, which are also branded as GBC titles, and even come in full colour... but still run on an original GB engine, IIRC. However, the fact remains that they have a full-blown GBC colour palette, so they are true GBC games.

    @@3dmarth I think the most simple way to decide whether to count the game as GB or GBC title is the boot screen on color-equipped systems. If you can change the color palette when the Nintendo logo shows up, it's a GB game. If you can't, it's a GBC game. That's why I don't count dual compatibility games as GB titles. Even though they work on GB, they were primarily meant to be played on a GBC with colors. But of course in the end, none of this really matters, but when collecting it's nice to make some kind of separation between these two platforms.

There are some minor differences between the game running on GBC and SGB. Pay close attention to surfing Pikachu in the attract mode.

    Yes: Actually he made an error: the PC Engine was officially imported in France. The Coregrafx was the most sold version. It was an official import. Konami (who had bought Hudson Soft) acknowledged it as well & the PC Engine Mini sold in Europe was the Coregrafx. Konami worked with the famous Video Games historian Florent Gorge on that release (his name is on the PC Engine mini creditd). To make the story short: the PC Engine was officially sold in France; the official distributor was Sodipeng, a sister company of Ubisoft. Official adds were all over the press and on tv. And it was sold in Supermarkets (Auchan) and, of course, electronic stores (Fnac etc). In total 300 000 units were officially sold. Plus an extra 100 000 imported units. That’s the equivalent of 2 millions units in the US, making it far more popular in France than in the US; as can be seen in today retro-gaming litterature on this console: best books are in Japanese and… in French.

    I like how you counted the Gameboy, Color and Advance as separate systems despite Nintendo not doing so. Likely because if you have an Advance or Player you can play any of them. I'm now wondering if Capcom took inspiration from that Sega Saturn game that was basically Resident Evil on a submarine when making Revelations. Also, seeing the character who lost all her health get a bandage on her head while you took control of another was really adorable to me. Will need to see if there's an English translation of that One Piece Gameboy game.

    Actually he made an error: the PC Engine was officially imported in France. The Coregrafx was the most sold version. It was an official import. Konami (who had bought Hudson Soft) acknowledged it as well & the PC Engine Mini sold in Europe was the Coregrafx. Konami worked with the famous Video Games historian Florent Gorge on that release (his name is on the PC Engine mini creditd). To make the story short: the PC Engine was officially sold in France; the official distributor was Sodipeng, a sister company of Ubisoft. Official adds were all over the press and on tv. And it was sold in Supermarkets (Auchan) and, of course, electronic stores (Fnac etc). In total 300 000 units were officially sold. Plus an extra 100 000 imported units. That’s the equivalent of 2 millions units in the US, making it far more popular in France than in the US; as can be seen in today retro-gaming litterature on this console: best books are in Japanese and… in French.

    Pokemon Yellow might be the last Game Boy title officially on paper, but technically it's not. Because it's not a GB game, it's a GBC game packed in GB box (in North America and Europe). You can test this yourself: when playing Yellow on GBC or GBA, you can't change the color palette on the start-up screen, like you would on every GB game. The game is basically those dual-compatibility titles, usually represented in black carts. The original japanese release of Yellow on the other hand was a genuine gray GB game, so it lacks the changing town colors and other color additions of the western release. But you can of course change the palette at the start to get at least some color to this otherwise monochrome game, just like with Red & Blue. I have always wondered why Nintendo decided to market the game as a GB title. Wouldn't it made so much sense to use this as a system-seller for the new GBC? And you wouldn't even discriminate the owners of the DMG-Game Boys, because Yellow is backwards-compatible. Strange decisions.

    That's interesting that the colours can't be changed on GBC. That would imply that it's running in GBC mode... but on the other hand, it can't be, since the same palette is used when playing on Super Game Boy, complete with different palettes for each town, and nearly full colour in battles. (SGB can't run games in GBC mode.) So is this some kind of weird proto GBC mode that mimics the SGB? Or just an actual SGB palette with no override?

    @@3dmarth No, there is no such thing as "proto GBC mode". It either is Gameboy Color mode or it isn't. Gameboy Color also cannot launch Super Gameboy modes. If the game launches on Gameboy Color without the ability to change palettes on the start-up screen, then it's Gameboy Color. Period. The palette's may be mostly the same (they're not actually identical) but they don't share code. The two modes are separate.
