what's up everyone my name is brett and sometimes i wear a beret and this
is a box this is from paul over at bobo innovation he reached out and asked if i was interested in
doing a review on his new lame boy blaster and after i looked at the blaster for about five
seconds on his website i said absolutely this is probably one of the coolest things i've seen in
the recent past that has to do with phone flinging so this was sent to me free of charge no money was
exchanged but obviously i am a little bit biased as a result of that so huge thank you to paul for
sending it my way this just says tubere there's no note on it let's open it up inside you will find a
very cool collection that's right the lame boy is a game boy but i guess we shouldn't call it that
because nintendo is interesting i mean we love you nintendo please don't copyright everything
a game boy that fires nerf darts i think you understand what it is just by looking
at it and you know what's kind of funny and sad i never owned an original game boy
i owned a game boy advance so that should tell you just how old i am but this is uh
i guess now the only game boy or lame boy that i'll ever need the blaster includes cartridges
in the back and the special thing about this one is that it came with a very cool beret cartridge
so i'm special but all the cartridges are more or less the same the other ones are coming in
with bobo innovation on them as you can see i have not opened anything else yet here's
a couple more right here with pink and then just the unnecessarily cool stuff that was included too
some additional targets you got a bowser you've got a peach fire some darts at her and a goomba
and then we've got some other cool stuff included oh that's some good audio here we
have some replacements for the screen we have just a clear piece if you don't want anything to show
and then whoop falling out of my hand we have the rail which means that we can actually put
nerf like attachments on the face of the blaster so here you can see if you flip this up you get a
little mario which is super cute but if i want to i can exchange this with a piece like that
we have the coin block launcher so included again with a little coin or a few of them
push that piece down place your coin on top and then when you fire a dart it launches the coin
and then we just have an exploding block with this one if you shoot it with the dart oh geez
uh i think i've made my point a lot of cool stuff included in this package all of which is just over
the top on top of this super cool blaster but of course now that we've talked about those things
let's look at the blaster itself i'm going to scoot some of these out of the way so the blaster
takes cartridges but you technically don't need to have the cartridge replaced every time to actually
operate it cartridge one cartridge two included were these super half darts i don't know what
you'd call them but these could be fit two in each side like so for a more of a shotgun
blast i'll grab some half darts on the side because that obviously is going to work just fine
as well since this is loading out the front you could put in full length darts if you really
hate yourself i mean it's not that bad i'm just saying it's obviously kind of funky
if it's looking like that to use the blaster you flip it over and you'll see there's this
little spot where you'll put your two fingers in pull back and when you hear that click
then it's ready to go and you push that back into place this is interesting because technically you
can just remove this piece entirely but it does fit back into place nice and snug
and you will in its prime state have those two rods protruding from the bottom not a big deal
just worth noting if i put one of my cartridges back in we'll start with the shotgun blast it's
kind of tight but it fits just in place no problem and now if i push on this button on the side jeez
that's that's explosive and then this side of the d-pad you can just reload darts from the
top if you'd like but for this purpose we will exchange cartridges load in a new one
oh and see there's one one little mistake on my part so the problem
i did there is that i accidentally when i was pulling this back i had my finger
on one of the releases and obviously it did not like that and repeat the process
not the ideal point of view but it'll work for now i've got my blaster loaded with a couple
half darts i'll make sure to hold it away from the firing buttons both are primed push that back in
and now let's uh let's eliminate bowser yay and by peach brutal bye-bye all right i'll prime it again
and i'll cheat i'm just gonna reload on the top because that's obviously the most
simple thing to do and it is nice that you can keep your darts flush in there and now we will
get ourselves a coin that's so cool and we're going to say goodbye to that block
see like did he need to do that no but it looks really cool and i respect that i'll
give you some more close-ups of this thing as you can see the main body looks really nice
it's very smooth to the touch it's a very nice 3d print it's definitely something that i would say
is acceptable to go out to customers and you can see all the sides have been meticulously
detailed to replicate the original game boy and look you can even hit a button on the side
and you'll get a familiar theme song i'm just kidding that's completely
fake greetings weary traveler and welcome to the burt zone
it's kind of dark in here isn't it well while you're here why not pick up a commemorative
bert zone shirt from silver fox industries short sleeve long sleeve it's yours friend
each purchase comes with a theme sticker and other mysterious goodies but don't wait too long
once pre-orders close on march 7th 2022 they're gone forever so get in the zone the bird zone
i'll say it might be a bit chunkier than your standard game boy but it doesn't require
batteries so there's that at the same time it of course has to be a certain thickness
so that it can encompass the internals and the darts could it be re-chambered for boomko
i suppose if you hate yourself in the meantime it works really really well with regular darts
in fact let's go see how powerful is this thing
yeah not too bad in my opinion the lame boy is
where is the lame boy
hey bro as simple as it is the lame boy is a decent performer obviously your rate of fire
isn't going to be that great every time you gotta prime it on the bottom and then actually fire
but hey those shots are pretty good i absolutely love this thing despite it not being the most
practical blaster out there oh what's what's outta here i'd run that in the war yeah yeah
yeah i know perfect contender for that kind of series well the good news is that i know other
people who have one of these as well so maybe we can arrange for something a little bit different
we can all play on our game boys together for people who do have that nostalgia factor
this could be a very compelling blaster for them if you're super interested in high performance and
super tactical designs that are going to work really well for you in a competitive setting
or help you win your next nerf battle okay this might not be that obviously it was never trying
to be also the pricing on this is going to be a bit high because it is a custom-made item
if you go to bobo innovations etsy he does have a few different offerings the files are
going to cost you a little over 20 united states dollars you are interested in printing it yourself
it looks like there's minimal hardware required which is nice
and if you do want a printed and assembled model by bobo innovation it is going to cost you
a little close to 200 after you throw in some shipping not the cheapest thing out there like
i said i got this for free so i'm biased when i say this thing is amazing but it's a handmade item
most of everything you see here is 3d printed that's what's going into the cost but i think
it's safe to say that there is nothing lame about the lame boy it seems like nowadays so many people
are hyper focused on having the most powerful blaster or the highest rate of fire carrying the
most magazines on them and dominating their next nerf game and it's a breath of fresh air to see
something like this seemingly come out of nowhere it's a great idea right just having something
that's based off of another product that's not you know not exactly nintendo it's a lame boy
it's not a game boy nintendo don't sue please but maybe we can get some other console style
blasters because when i'm firing this and holding it in front of me i think more of like a tv remote
and a tv remote firing first person shooter reminds me a lot of checks quest and yes i love
throwing chex quest references in where i can and i absolutely love that game so if we can get some
chex quest style blasters whoever designs those will be my new best friend because this definitely
has a place in modern day phone clinging and if you disagree with me there's the door bye-bye
but those are my initial thoughts on the lame boy and if you have any thoughts about it i'd love to
hear from you in the comments section down below and i can't wait to see what oh this is sorry this
is my cartridge i can't wait to see what bobo innovation works on next because if this is the
first major product they've released then maybe we're gonna get some more console related blasters
or something completely different thank you everyone so much for watching huge thanks again to
paul for sending me this blaster and miscellaneous stuff to review and i will see you next time
after i get off this call hello nintendo oh no
you
