“My understanding of Mod Retro, at least what I want it to be, and I think what Palmer and what Torin also want it to be, is like, let's identify Consumer electronics that people just love, like, had an unbelievable relationship where they really, like, the lov…”
Neistat: Retro handheld emulators render inaccurately using high-density pixel scaling
“So when you buy one of those handheld emulators that looks like a Game Boy, the Chinese made ones, they have fairly high, high pixel density screens on them. So in order for them to give the look of an old Game Boy, you're using multiple pixels to emulate a si…”
Neistat: Matching the vintage Game Boy screen was harder than modern screens
“So it was actually harder to build something that matched the quality of a product that's 20 years old. Then it would be to actually get the latest and greatest screen and just plug it in there.”
Neistat: ModRetro's goal is to build the last Game Boy needed
“I think Palmer's quote when I was interviewing him was, we don't want to build another Game Boy, we want to build the last Game Boy. Like, the last one that ever needs to be built.”
Neistat: Matching 20-year-old Game Boy screens is harder than modern displays
“It was actually harder to build something That match the quality of a product that's 20 years old than it would be to actually get the latest and greatest screen and just plug it in there.”
Larian claims Nintendo's Game Boy was inspired by MGA's success
“I still to date say that Nintendo was inspired by the success of my Game & Watch to come up with Game Boy, and of course they didn't want to give me Game Boy.”
Nintendo of America always bundled a game with new hardware platforms
“Because Nintendo US has a policy to include a game with every new hardware platform that they sell.”
Bundling Tetris, instead of Mario, made the Game Boy a universal device
“If you want little boys to buy your Game Boy, then include Mario, but if you want everyone to buy your Game Boy, include Tetris.”
Rogers offered the Soviet government 25 cents per Game Boy Tetris copy
“The offer that I made them was I would pay them 25 cents for every Game Boy Tetris that was sold.”
