    My favourite thing now is exploring all of the titles I couldn’t afford as a kid. I’m in my 40s now so I really grew up in the 90s which meant 8 and 16 bit era. I love taking things slow, and picking a random title to play for a weekend. I treat it like my own personal rental store. Fridays before supper I read the game manual, and once the little ones go to bed I plug in for a bit :)

    No.1 for me easily goes to the NES. Playing Castlevania and Mario/ duck hunt at my uncle’s house before we got our own NES are core memories for me.
    And much like your SoR story, I was convinced for YEARS that my memories of playing Monster Party as a kid were just a wild fever dream. But no, the game is actually just as strange as I remembered it.

    The Super Nintendo is my most nostalgic console by a long shot - I rented so many games growing up, and the handful of games we had were all really special in their own way - Star Fox, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country...such an iconic line-up of games and so many more I discovered as an adult. It really has an amazingly colorful library of games and hidden gems.

    My Nostalgia runs huge during December. My parents were against video games so i knew each Christmas was not going to be waking up happy. All i wanted as a kid was my own console & i knew that wasn't going to happen. So Christmas for me was not that huge. So during my Christmas Breaks growing up i hung out at all my friends house who had there own home console! Playing the NES the whole month of December which really consisted of one game, Castlevania. That is my Nostalgic game: the original Castlevania on the NES.

    I grew up a little later with the PS3 and 3DS, but I still have nostalgia for those too. It's interesting, when I was younger I didn't know anybody with a console, everyone I met had a PC (even at the age of 7 or 8). I think I knew one other person who had a 3DS.

      @@liamloxley1222 I was a 2000s kid and played both consoles and PC growing up. We had a family computer on Windows XP that I would often play games on, but I also had a PS1, then a PS2 a few years later, then a Wii during my high school years in the early 2010s. And for portables I had a GBA first, then a DS during my middle school years and a 3DS during my high school years.

    Something I love about nostalgia is that it can make you appreciate a game that's actually pretty bad. Almost like you get to see the good intentions behind it and thus have a secret way to experience the game that is unfortunately difficult for others.

    I remember going to a neighbor's house and they had a birthday party for a kid (he must have been like 10 or so) and he let us play Super Smash Bros Melee. It blew me away because I didn't know that game existed and I fell in love with it right away. He let us kids take turns on trying to beat the first level in adventure mode on very hard difficulty. After that he opened his gift and it was Kingdom Hearts 1. I remember seeing him play some parts of it and was also blown away by that game. Fortunately I ended up getting both these games later on with my very own PS2 and Gamecube that me and my brothers shared. So it was a happy ending and didn't remain as a tease. But that sure was a nostalgic memory for me.

    I have a lot of nostalgia for Sonic even though I never had a Genesis. Just would play it here and there at friends house. But I did watch the cartoon.
    I got my Game Boy in 1990. Never had the pocket or light or the others until the Game Boy Advance SP.
    This reminds me back in the 80's that I found out one of my good friends from school had been living in the house behind me and I never knew it. All of our backyards were fenced in. Found out after we got a slide playset thing built and I was on top and saw him over the fence in his backyard one day.

    I'm 90's kid (nostalgic term for old geezer nowadays) from Poland, so after fall of communism we had limited access to western consoles. Most of kids had this cheap south-asian NES ripoffs (which was great for us at that time) but I will never forget the feeling when I was visiting my friend's older cousin and he had PS1. I was astonished by the capabilities of this magnificent magic box. Imagine actually skipping one generation of consoles (SNES, Genesis) and jumping from Mario Bros. straight to Crash Bandicoot! And those shiny, rainbowy CDs instead of cheap plastic dusty cartridges? It was some Star Trek stuff for us at that time.
    Although my all time favourite console would be PS2 or PS3, I still have enormous amounts of nostalgia towards PS1.
    Just old geezer's thing 🥲

    Your video hits the nail on the head. I enjoy games for nostalgia of games I played as a kid, but ALSO for this weird nebulous nostalgic feeling for games I saw advertised or also craned my neck in schoolyards to see that I never got to play. For instance, the Game Gear! A friend/bully of mine had one when I was a kid and he'd let me watch but rarely play. Now I have one and am checking through all the Game Gear classics I missed, with much enjoyment!

    The consoles you grew up with and liked. So for me the C64, Master System, Mega Drive and Dreamcast are most nostalgic for me. The C64 was something the family played, while I was still very small. We had a few cartridges and a lot of games on cassette. Waiting for the game to load, the typical music (sometimes while loading), so many games. I needed to get used to the expensive games when we got a Master System at home and later the Mega Drive. For the Master System my older brother helped choose the games, but fot the Mega Drive I was old enough to decide for myself. I often rented games too or borrowed from several neighbours. The Dreamcast was the first console I actively saved up for and really loved when I was fifteen. I did buy a PlayStation two years earlier with my own money, but that didn't hit home with me so much.

    I am nostalgic for the Atari 2600 and NES. I spent many, many hours playing on my Atari. Back when I first got the 2600, I thought I was in gaming heaven. Now I could have an arcade experience without having to bring a pocketful of quarters. Come to think of it....I am kinda nostalgic for arcades. Funny how that works... As for the NES, it was the console of choice when I got together with my friends. We would play Tecmo Bowl tournaments....fun times!

    I was the same with N64. I was around 8 when it came out and I think every gamer kid in my class went from SNES/Gensis to N64. I didn't even know Playstation 1 was the winner of the generation til I was in high school! I played MGS and Castlevania: SOTN on PS3 PSOne classics. And was like "oh, this is insane, way better than N64". But I still love the differences between each system back then, every console felt unique and had its own strengths.

    I have nostalgia for basically any/all consoles I owned since I was a kid, but the one I have the most nostalgia for wasn't a console at all... but it almost should have been because of the quantity of games made for it... the Commodore 64. I still play C-64 games to this day... emulated... but I do also still own my original system. That computer was a treasure trove of fun and it will possibly forever be my favorite.

    I totally get your nostalgia for the GameBoy! I had a similar experience with the N64. I actually never had one as a kid but it was present everywhere around me. I had friends that owned it and brought the Nintendo magazine all the time to school. I also went often to a mall close to my place just to play some N64 (often the stand was occupied and I had to wait for my turn). The moment I finally got a N64 as an adult was magical and just today I played some Mario 64 with my two kids 😊

    I didn't know what Rocket Knight Adventures was until I you started talking about it in your vids. Console I am most Nostalgic for would be the Sega Genesis. I remember this was the console where I was socializing a lot with my high school friends. Playing games like NHL 93-96, Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat, Street fighter 2 & many other games. The Socializing with couch coop or vs was a thing I used to do every Friday at a friend's house back in high school. Now I work & my friends won't hang with me or with the group anymore. Yeah really sad gaming has come to this.

    The consoles I have the most nostalgia for are the ones my brother and I had growing up (Genesis, Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, PS1, and GBA), along with a few that we didn’t have but played quite a bit with friends (Game Boy Color, N64, GameCube, and the OG Xbox). I had one single friend who had a Dreamcast and I always wanted to play it more but only got the chance once or twice. Still feel a lot of nostalgia for it, though.
    And even though I love consoles like the SNES and Turbo Grafx-16 now, I don’t have the same nostalgia for them because I just never really played them growing up.
    All that to say, I think I have a ton of nostalgia for the games/consoles I played even just a little bit compared to the ones I didn’t play or even know about

    Love your sense of humour, and I can relate so much to your observations since I recently played through the Monster World series on the Genesis and loved it despite having no nostalgia for it at all given how I was unaware it existed when I was a kid with a Super Nintendo. As someone who grew up with a PS1 and is still excited to play PS1 games that I missed out on back in the day, I completely agree with what you have expressed here. With that being said, I do think that you can also feel nostalgia for a specific time of your life that makes you appreciate things that came from that time more, regardless of whether you experienced them at the time or not. In terms of how this relates to video games, this can go well beyond graphics and move deeply into how games were designed at the time, what developers were trying to "shoot for" with the game, length, level design, and all kinds of other things that are hard to pin down on their own. This is the explanation I would give to younger gamers if they were to ask me why Shovel Knight doesn't feel like a classic retro game, despite it looking like it could pass for one on the surface to people who weren't around at the time when NES/SNES games were being made.

Bk then, it wasn't "early primitive 3d grafics, it was simply "new, current & exciting". Games like 1080 with all that drum & bass in the soundtrack.. come on now!!!

    Im old enough nostalgia is the hoop and stick just about. The pong we had didnt even have options for anything but pong, hockey or jai alai. No making the paddles bigger or smaller, or any of that new fangled stuff. While in the navy i did buy a turbo express which i never got back, a sega genesis, and snes, and game gear. If i want to revisit a game like say silent hill, ill just watch a youtuber play through it now. Kinda more fun than going through it myself.

    WOW Great video funny guy i could really relate to the part about having more nostalgia for the things you didn't have. For me most all the consoles are new. I had a regular nintendo, game boy, game gear, sega and ps1 and a handful of games for each console. And I'm grateful I had any but the super Nintendo was the one I really wanted, the trees on zelda were mesmorizing to me when i watched older kids play and the super mario world game the little bit i did get to play was an amazing experience... so for me it's the "i get to now" kind of feeling and I'm really really grateful, lots of fun. Great video thanks

    Probably we have nostalgia for the time when we experienced something for the first time, no matter if that happened during childhood or later. Ok, maybe childhood memories are the most powerful, but I also have nostalgia for my first years playing an actual NES (2014-2015, back in the 90s I only owned a Famiclone), or 2018, when I bought my N64 and spent hours and hours on Blast Corps, Pilotwings 64 or Wave Race. It's so exciting when you finally experience something you heard about but never tried. Those first moments are so precious.

    I've played Super Mario Land 2 so many times and get such good feelings just seeing it. One of my favorite Marios to this day. Seeing you do that 5-enemy kill run with the star at like 6:56 was nostalgic for me, it's something I've done so many times. I was watching expecting a certain thing though that didn't happen - I always jump, hit the bell, run off the right side, double back & hit the enemy underneath, then turn back around to kill the last two. seeing you go off the left side of that platform after I've only done it that one way for years just felt wrong!! lol
    it's crazy how strong the memory of a certain sequence in a game can be that watching someone else do it and achieve the same results, just differently, feels wrong. nostalgia is powerful!

    I'm oddly nostalgic for the snes despite not having access to it as a kid. I had a second hand genesis.

    I am nostalgic for the Master System and the SNES. My friend let me borrow his Atari2600 for a while, and I feel a little nostalgia for that one too.
    This was one of your best videos yet! Congrats!

    One of the saddest things ever was me leaving my Gameboy on the dashboard of a car and forgetting about it. After baking in the hot summer sun for a few hours by the time I found it it was a melted mess.

    I think there’s a bit of a Mandela effect with nostalgia. Some of the art styles of games I’ve never even played feel so familiar that part of me thinks I actually have played them. Another thought - I like modern games, but for some reason I’m way more inclined to spend my spare time watching retrobird than videos about the new stuff. Is that due to nostalgia, or something else?

    Here's my nostalgia stories. I got 2.
    #1: Everyone at my school had a GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Advance, and Everyone had pokemon.. Good times. I even remember skipping a class just to play pokemon crystal with a friend. (along with pkm cards and pogs and toys.)
    #2: Best memories of my childhood was with my father. We used to play NES/SNES/N64/GameCube together.. Back then my father smiled and laugh when we played games.. I miss those days so much. My father bought me Zelda 1 on NES, and since then, we always bought the next Zelda game. He would print a 30 or so page walkthrough. We each would take turns reading the walkthough whilst the other would play. My SNES was in my room, and at night, my father would sneak in my room, and play some games. I'd wake up just to watch him play, pretending I was sleeping. Best bonding times. Wish we could do it again..
    Here's a bonus story: Banjo Kazooie... Man, that game was my saturday cartoon. One Very early morning (like 4-5 am) on Christmas day, my parents would wake my sister and I to open up gifts. (I was lil' boi) My parents would give us random presents to open. One gift I got was Banjo Kazooie. I was Immediately awake. My eyes were wide with excitement. I couldn't stop looking at the box art. I just kept looking and reading, and then looked at the manual. I got other cool gifts, but I couldn't stop reading the manual Like I forgot it as a game.. 😅 I started playing, and I was so hooked. I loved exploring every nook and cranny, (not granny) looking for all the collectibles. fast-forward til the sequel came out, I played through Kazooie about 4-5 times. You can imagine my hype for the sequel when I saw the commercial. I thought "THERE MORE THAN 1 KAZOOIE?!" It was just an unlockable Kazooie skin 😅 So awesome. I had even more fun with Tooie.
    Now I have the Banjo Kazooie amiibo 😄
    Best part, is now in my late 30s, I can still play my childhood nostalgia through my Steam Deck. Best purchase ever. I always wanted to play my home console games on the go, and now I can. Funny, I always wanted to play my GameBoy games on my tv, and one day I got a Super GameBoy. Played Link's Awakening on the tv, like A link to the Past with my father 😊
    I miss the golden age of gaming so much...
    I'm 💯passing the good memories with my son or daughter. The games, the classic cartoons.. I'm gonna play the role of father. It's my turn now, and I'm here for it.

    I had a lot of different console experiences growing up, but the most nostalgic ones for me are:
    1. N64: The first console I played as a child; played multiplayer games with friends and family members
    2. PS1: The first console I owned as a child and I remember many games fondly and the iconic startup
    3. GBA: The first handheld console I owned as a child; had many fun experiences with it on trips and I especially loved playing older Pokemon games on it
    4. DS: Probably the console I overall played the most and that I have the most games for; played it basically every day during my middle school years
    5. Wii: I didn't have one until high school but I remember all the hype around it during the years before, and just overall I feel like it's a very memorable experience even just looking at the menu, making Miis, etc. And the games were really fun too.

    SNES holds the most nostalgia for me, my first home console. Got it during that prime grade school age of first grade, and all of the gaming magazines and cartoons to tie in with it was the best.

    I am nostalgic for video game rentals. I remember begging my parents to take me to rent games, but it was a total crapshoot. I might get a gem or get stuck with a third for the weekend. Even if the game sucked, I would still play the hell out it. Having access to modern emulation I'd objectively way better, but nothing can replace the thrill of renting a game.

    I feel like the N64 is the console that benefits most from nostalgia. I cherish the memories I have playing Mario 64 for the first time at a Best Buy booth or experiencing GoldenEye with friends on 4 player split screen. But as time has gone on it's a little hard to go back to this system and some of it's not so endearing titles (while ironically the Saturn has aged very well)

    Good video! I mean, it is safe to assume Donkey Kong is Retro Brid's favorite Mario character, right?
    Oddly enough, I had the same nostalgia for the Genesis, GameBoy, N64, Neo Geo Bust-A-Move, but, in addition, the NES and GameCube. The Genesis and NES were the only two consoles I had as a child, so I played both to death (especially the Genesis). I didn't own a GameBoy as a kid either, so only got to play it going over my cousins' house (they even actually let me play it!), but similarly I got a GameBoy Color when I was little older and played that constantly.
    Both of my friends and family had an N64, so naturally we would play 4-player games constantly (same with the GameCube).
    At the arcades, anytime I saw a NeoGeo machine as a kid, I would make a beeline to it _just_ to play Bust-A-Move one more time! Bust-A-Move was one heck of a drug! 😅

And i specifically remember telling my mom "if you get me this N64 i promise to never ask for another game for the rest of my life"

    I remember when I got many games from my past they lived up to and at times even was better than what I remember. I would say the Nintendo GameCube was the most surprising due to me remembering the Mario Party games I only had 7 and but the time I got to play the others It was worth getting. Cool video. ^_^

    I rarely have nostalgia over consoles I have played. I have more nostalgia listening to the soundtracks I hear while playing the game. Not sure why.
    I have been having nostalgia of the early Switch years and I have been gaming since the NES days. Again, not sure why. I am assuming major life changes with a certain console will create the nostalgia.
