Dear Mr. Jonii, Hello. My father named Shigeru Miyamoto owns the video game industry and he asked me to tell you to review the other wave race games. Otherwise you will be canceled for what you did to my wife. Thank you. From super monkey ball fan 069: Obama

I like how the story insinuates that you’re being forced into racing against your will, seeing as you’re just “informed” that you’re gonna be in this race lmao

I didn't even notice that lmao! There's no "invited", the responsibility is merely thrust upon you.

I won a copy of GB Wave Race from a Smash tournament and this game cemented my love of top-down racers. Really nice to see this obscure game shown some love, interesting to learn it's history (I thought all the Wave Race games were made by NST) and cool seeing the colour palette of the GB Player version.

Fantastic video my dude! Super enjoyable!

As always, great video dude! Game looks pretty similiar to Eliminator Boat Duel from NES, one of my favourite childhood games. That one didn't have Slick Wilson in it though so Wave Race's superiority is unqestioned.

Nice review man. Well done. Solid delivery

Had this title in the 90s, and frequently competed against my father via link cable. Disappointed that the franchise didn't continue, we would have likely continued to play newer versions over the Internet on newer handhelds (DS, Switch) if the game (and online play) had been available.

Woah I had no idea there was a Wave Race on the Game Boy! Interesting stuff

Counter argument: half the game is racing. Half the title, by letter count, is Race. Therefore it is a completely balanced name that accurately represents the proportions of Racing to just enjoying the Waves.

Great video! Lots of laughs and editing was on point. Slick Wilson's a real bastard.

Thanks a ton! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't trust that conniving son of a bitch and his dastardly ways.

This is great gaming journalism.

I’m about to be playing the gameboy Wave Race soon for a beating & reviewing of all 3. Pretty shocking!

I just found out about this channel, I really like the content bro

I remember buying this game along with Yoshi’s Cookie from FAO for $40. Never once regretted it, even though this one was HARD. Never beat the 800cc on either format 😢

Hopefully we get reviews of 64 and Blue Storm as well. EDIT: I doubt this was made for the Four player adapter, as that existed at least two years before Wave Race was released, so it's more likely that F-1 Race was made for that purpose.

Maybe I am the only one that noticed? The graphic you keep calling the link cable is actually the 4 player adapter. I can only thibk of this and some F1 racing game that ever used it. Good video dude. Just found ya.

Congrats on getting algorithm'd. If KZread recommended me your channel, that means it recommended you to others. You gon' pop off soon. You'll have 20k subs by Feb, and ~50k by June. Screenshot this Congrats

Wrong.

I came for the waves, stayed for the race.

You sir, make some great videos.

You deserve more subs

Not only I had the game on game boy, my best friend had it also and we used to play against each other with the special cable!

This game is far too adorable to have such brutal loss-screens. Just utterly stomp on my nuts and drag my name through the mud. Insult me right in front of my parents-type of loss-screens. I am shocked and AGOG I say. Also, really hope this makes it to NSO now that we have a Game Boy emulator.

Good Video.

How in the world does this video only have 3k views.

Wave Race Blue Storm is my favorite GameCube game.

Good video

Now this is a new thing....

I just realized your name is pronounced "Johnny" and not "Joe-knee".

Jon's back, what's up! Hey this video's got me curious, how do you decide what topics to make videos about? 😂

Hey, thanks for the comment! To be honest, it sort of depends on the video. I keep a pretty big list of potential video topics. In the case of things like Super Monkey Ball and PokeShipping, they're things I was passionate about as a kid. For stuff like this and Ms. Pac-Man, those were cases where I'd been interested in the franchise and spotted something really obscure and intriguing that I felt like going down a rabbit hole on. I find myself doing that a lot more lately because I love a good internet rabbit hole. I tend to stumble across good video topics much more often than I do racking my brain trying to think of them. Sometimes I'll just learn about a game that looks interesting and making a video happens to be a good excuse to play it. The common thread, though, tends to be that topic either hasn't been extensively or I feel like I have something to add to it. Something else I've found myself doing lately is trying to find videos on certain topics I'm interested in and then, upon being disappointed that there's nothing, add them to the video ideas doc. That's kind of my way of making the content I want to see I suppose. Sorry for the rambly comment but I do hope that answers your question. :D

Wave Race should be rereleased on Nintendo Switch Online if Game Boy or Game Boy Color games get brought over in the NSO Expansion Pack.

Slick Wilson will return.

If only half of the game is racing the title still works, since only half of the title is the word race.

Now for the million dollar question: Did this game ever showed up at Nintendo's eShop?
