>>58972822I can listen to these songs on my phone for free unc
I want to know its price. I'm thinking $100, easily.
>>58972822Why would we? We can already play the RBY soundtrack on YouTube for free. This is a cute but useless product.
NFFFFFFFFFFF I MUST CONSOOM KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Not available from Pokemon Center GermanyThen why the fuck is there German writing on the Pokemon Blue box
It's a trinket, that's it. I mean, cool as a gift, maybe? But I had Hit Clips as a kid, ironically enough back when I was playing GB Pokemon the first time. Meh.Also there's no price yet, it's only available on scalper central, and it's sort of fake nostalgia, like nobody was playing Red and Blue on an original Game Boy, they were huge movers of the Color and the Pocket had put the DMG out of production by 1998.
No wonder they release FRLG. They clearly think their fans are retarded and will literally buy anything. Anyone can listen to any of these songs for free on youtube or anywhere else just like anyone can play the roms for FRLG for free on any device. But there will still be a lot of idiots buying
>>58972822For a second, I thought it was one cartridge that played all the music, NOT FUCKING 45 OF THEM FOR MUSIC THAT IS LESS THAN A MINUTE EACH. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
FYI, the Japanese version is indeed Red and Green instead of Red and Bluehttps://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/gameboy_musiccollection/ja/Priced at 9,900円 (63 USD, 53 Euros) although I don't know if that's one or both
>>58972822Going to buy this for my brother who has only played Gen 1
>>58972822I MUST BUY ELECTRONIC BEEP BOOPS KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It will cost more than $20 so no. Even TPC wanted it over with, they just flashed the trailer with no explanation, and immediately moved on to other things.
>>58972918I played them on a DMG, because my mom already had one from before I was born.
>>58972822YeahIt should have been 0, 1 or 4 cartridges only/thread
>>58972942This franchise has thrived on reselling the exact same games for 3 decades. What did you expect.
>Is nobody going to talk about this? Wasn't really planning to, no.
>>58972975There's only one.
>>58973031Wait, all the music cartridges come with the "console"? I thought they were gonna sell them separately.
>>58972975>63 dollarsLol, lmao evenReal question is if the Red and Green version has the original Lavender Town music or not.
Pure e-waste. I might buy one to sell for $5,000 in 10 years but it is dumb as fuck.
>>58972822That looks like something someone would buy purely for display purposes.
>>58972975>Priced at 9,900円 (63 USD, 53 Euros) although I don't know if that's one or bothLooked at the website and it seems like no matter which one, they both contain cartridges for Red and GreenSo for now I'd say 9.900 Yen is the price for either one, containing all cartridges
Can't find it on the Pokemon Center website. Was curious to the price, but can't even find a listing.
>>58972822>could have just made an mp3 player in the shape of a gameboy>no lets do this retarded shit where you have to swap out carts
>>58973117Checked the UK website, where it says>Check Back Later Today to Get the Game Boy JukeboxSo we have to wait stillhttps://www.pokemoncenter.com/en-gb
>>58973056I don't think even The Pokemon Company could get away with selling shitty-quality versions of Pokemon songs and not include all of them.
>>58972822why does each song require a seperate cartridge, couldn't they just make it a dedicated mp3 player that had all the songs preloaded and even a simple screen that cycled through screenshots of the games
>>58972996Fair enough, but that's pretty much an exception, in 1998 the Pocket was out for years, and a lot of people upgraded from the original at some point because of the batteries/screen. I expect that Red and Green on DMG was a much more common thing, of course, since the Pocket wasn't out yet. I understand why they wouldn't have made two mini GB units, one resembling a Pocket for the west, but it's a bit disingenuous imo
>>58973136inb4 the cartridges just push down some buttons in the slot and everything is already loaded onto the main device
>people unironically crying about swapping out cartridgesThat's one of the most soulful things about this lame money grab, holy fuck zoomers are finished.
>>58973075It's only ewaste if it gets thrown out.
….Why would I buy that when the soundtrack already exists (AND includes FRLG too)?
>>58972822For a brief second I got my hopes up for a Game Boy Classic…
>>58972942>They clearly think their fans are retarded and will literally buy anythingLooking at past gens, yes, it's common knowledge that Pokémon fans have no standards and will buy anything
>>58972969I didn't think it could get any stupider, but holy shit, that is monumentally retarded. It's one thing for it to be blatant nostalgia bait, but this is just too fucking inconvenient for any actual use. How many people who will buy this will actually use it to listen to that music?
>>58973244>re-releaseI am jealous though because the standalone FRLG soundtrack is insanely expensive. I would have taken a box set of all the old CD soundtracks over this Gameboy thing honestly, the DS ones are rape-priced second hand, and my RS discs are starting to corrupt.
>>589733140Scalpers will buy every single one the second western orders go live.
I thought they were going to be rereleasing Red and Blue as actual cartridges for a moment.
>>58973364You know you can just find it online and burn it to CD yourself right?
>>58972975>>58973099$60 is not bad for a gimmick like this.USA version price is absolutely gonna be $99 or $199 because fuck NA lol
>>58972822If it was a more premium stand with one four carts Red/Yellow/Green/Blue that had many songs and slides each, it could be kind of neat. The one song per cart thing and cheap look makes it look like a gimmick thing not even worth owning as a novelty.
>>58973258>>58973378I'm sure Nintendo forbade them from making any kind of device that could potentially be hacked so that people keep paying for virtual console. But this has me thinking that a soulful product could have been, like:>mini Game Boy models that plug into a TV>with mini cartridges that have the corresponding classic game on them>can link together via link cables
>>58973432Wow, no way! Tell me more about this "online", O Enlightened One.
>>58973502Nvm mate just go pay some scalpers for music.
>>58973314>How many people who will buy thisLiterally every scalper in the world will hoard the fuck out of these
>>58973364>the standalone FRLG soundtrack is insanely expensiveNot that pricey, I found it in Osaka when I went there last June and it was 11k yen with the obi (used obviously)Compared to the DS soundtracks…>DS ones are rape-priced second handYeah, look at the 21k DP and 30k HGSS soundtracks…I ultimately splurged and bought the HGSS soundtracks at 23k yen from a different Osaka shop; and I kind of want to search for and see if I can find DP slightly cheaper when I go to Japan next because BDSP is clearly not getting a soundtrack at this point so there’s little hope of DP being reprinted via a BDSP soundtrack….
>>58973562You're literally reaching into Masuda's pocket and stealing his wallet.
>>589736371. It's not like I can buy it new.2. That's what he deserves for X and Y.
>>58972822>selling shitty MP3 players in 2026Normally in a situation like this I would say "who the hell would buy this bullshit" but I know exactly the kind of person who would buy this bullshit
The fuck is it? A made up music player?
>>58973562>hurrr whaddya mean some people enjoy collecting physical things???? Reeeeeeee
>>58973056I guarantee all the music is already on the device, the cartridges will probably have little pins or something in their slots that will press in buttons in the gameboys slot to select the song You can see in this image >>58973031 all the cartridges have different configurations of something in their slots
>>58972822pretty lackluster for a 300th anniv toy kek why not release some gameboy emu slop console with new cart + linkcable support
>>58973695>It's not like I can buy it new.Actually, when I was in Tokyo they still had it new and in stock (….and I just realized that they had a sign up at top right explaining that the DS soundtracks are OOP and impossible to find for a decent price anymore)
>>58973626They've dropped some over the years I guess, but still I find it hard to justify buying a soundtrack for almost $100. And the FRLG soundfont is kind of hit or miss for me, I can understand why the RS one is more expensive now.The HGSS one is so expensive because it has the Game Boy tracks on it too, right? Were they the actual GS songs or just the Game Boy Sounds versions?
Wow so cool!
>>58973871>Kirby Nail Clippers
>another chinktoyWe are SO buying this landfill slop
No Pokemon TCG soundtrack, no buy.
>>58973883Based, I had this one.
>>58973861Good catch. I called it in >>58973177, but now it's basically confirmed. It's just tedium for the sake of it.
>>58973031Wait the screens are just stickers?
>>58973960I had the red one of that, and pic related.
So this is a piece of junk, but give it to me straight though: is it worth buying to scalp later on?
>>58973031I thought it would be like, one cart per gen or something. This makes it look like you have to change carts for every song. That would get old faster than the novelty would last.
>>58972822So why the fuck can’t they release GB/GBA games on physical carts again?
>>58973999Depends if people can hack it into a regular GB shaped MP3 player.
>>58973999yes
>>58973075yup, it's basically designed for scalping collectors too lazy to pick it up now
>>58973882I’m not too bothered by RS or FRLG because those discs were reprinted in their entirety as part of ORAS and RG soundtracks so at least I still own those discs in a way>The HGSS one is so expensive because it has the Game Boy tracks on it too, right? That and HGSS, like DP, has not been reprinted yet unlike RS and FRLG so there’s no other way to get the discs (at least that’s what I think), that in addition with the DS era and HGSS being nostalgia bait for a lot of people probably jacked up the prices >Were they the actual GS songs or just the Game Boy Sounds versions?The GB Sounds versions; which were actually brand new arrangements made specifically for HGSS because the DS couldn’t perfectly recreate the GB sound chip The translated interview here:https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/interview_hgss_sound.htmlExplains it all better, it’s really worth a read You can find the raw scans from the booklet (and interview) here too:https://musicbrainz.org/release/3e7d01f2-e620-4847-8618-d0df85b7b188/cover-art(Pic related is the copy of the HGSS soundtrack that I ended up buying for myself)
>>58974042Yeah I totally lost interest in this once I realized it.
>>58973637Junichi ain't in charge no more lil' bro, keep up
>>58972822Just go on Youtube lmao
>>58974051Are you braindead?
>>58972822>45 cartridgesHoly fucking waste of plastic Batman.
>>58974137>The GB Sounds versions; which were actually brand new arrangements made specifically for HGSS because the DS couldn’t perfectly recreate the GB sound chipAre those higher quality versions somewhere on YouTube?
>>58973999Kantykes and their undying nostalgia can be squeezed for any amount of money.
>>58974137Yeah more than anything I like the jacket art for the Gen III soundtracks, getting a hold of the discs cheaper is pretty nice though. I wonder if the DS ones will ever be reprinted? BDSP seems to be buried and forgotten already, but I thought they might do some Sinnoh set for Legends...>GB Sounds versionsThat's what I had always thought, which is cool in its own way, but I wish they would just release a proper GSC soundtrack.
>>58972822Collectors scam.
The only good gen 1 song is the team rocket hidden base and lavender town song
Alright scalpbros, I'm ready to buy at least one and flip it, how much are we selling for? I'm hoping for more than $500 myself. >>58974204Gengar fans are all sexual degenerates thoughbeit.
>>58973807Hoarding is a mental illness.
>>58974287Yeah Gen 1 had few good songs. And it wasn't a hardware issue. Pokemon Pinball and Pokemon TCG had great tracks.
>>58974287>>58974325>people hate Masuda so blindly they refuse to admit that, Kanto's OST is a masterpiece Not surprising for this place but...
I might buy it if it was like 5 carts sorted by theme (town themes, battle themes, reoccurring location themes etc) but one cart per song is silly, no one is going to actually use this outside of an initial unboxing.
>>58972822>more junk that people will get bored of after 5 minutes and then it will just take up space and clutter your houseWhat's there to talk about?
>>58974164>waste money on meme merch just for scalpers to buy it all off>highly requested old games are digital-only without any bonus stuff outside of Japan>I am the braindead one
>>58974450You are braindead if you think they're suddenly going to spin up production lines that have been offline for two decades, fabricate new-old microchips, and spend money distributing them to an incredibly niche audience.
>>58974187https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/pokemon-heartgold-and-soulsilver-music-super-complete
>>58974517Yeah but I bet many more people would buy those instead of this.
>>58974517I meant the Switch physical carts, my bad
>>58974517Creating copycat hardware is really not as involved as you apparently think. Fucking Limited Run Games figured it out and they are retards.
>>58972822>>5897296990s sisters we're so back
>>58974538Correct. But not enough to justify that expense, in the eyes of TPC at least. >>58974559Not unfeasible, they're just cheap. >>58974563Yes, but TPC is cheap and knows they can make more money selling $20 ROMs than they can selling $60+ physical carts, whether they did repros or Switch cards.
>>58974563they source chips from recycled motherboards and the collectors noticed really quick.
>>58974624They aren't lost tech or anything, they were just being cheap assholes. When they first started they were using newly created chips.
>>58974243>set for LegendsWell technically there was a box set of sorts, back in 2024 when they first came out, if you bought all of the Sword and Shield/Legends Arceus/Scarlet and Violet soundtracks together from the Pokemon Center you’d get this exclusive box/case that was meant to fit all 3 soundtracks smoothly. By the time I went in June 2024, the box was goneAlthough I already own all 3 of the soundtracks, I kinda not regret buying it second hand at pic related price (which I think is decent for getting all 3 + the exclusive box)
>>58972822Talk about what? More generic landfill shit?Re-release the OG gameboy and then we'll talk.
>>58973454>USA version price is absolutely gonna be $99 or $199 because americans are retarded fuckers and voted for a retarded elderly fucker who swore he was going to increase the cost of living for everyone by taxing importsFixed that for you magatard.
>>58974721Then why is it more expensive everywhere else?
>>58972822I don't get it. Why not just include the whole game in the cartridge at that point? There is a screen and some buttons in there already.
>>58975091>screenIt’s just green glass, the images are printed on the cartridges
>>58972822If it was just a red and a blue cartridge it would be a fun little novelty but 45 cartridges is absolutely fucking retarded
>>58975091The cartridges are just plastic, there are no electronics in there. The audio is stored on the Game Boy itself.
>>58975193>>58975139Weird, I somehow saw it moving in the presentation video. Yeah this is just lame. Whatever are you gonna do with this? Put on cartridge then listen to a 1 minute chiptune track sitting attentively in front of the thing?
https://www.pokemoncenter.com/product/71-10211-101/pokemon-red-and-pokemon-blue-game-music-collection-game-boy-jukeboxProduct listingTo nobody’s surprise the tracklist is identical to both releases of the soundtrack: http://vgmdb.net/album/141http://vgmdb.net/album/57107
>>58972822This might be the worst way to listen to the RBY OST. I'll just import the soundtrack CD they released or listen on Youtube. I'd plug my actual game boy into my sound system before I buy this shit.
>>58975326Wow, nice restraint from TPCI. I was expecting $100 minimum.>>58975324Yes
