Wait they bundled the Wii with a music CD and the console can't play music CDs? This is amazing, I just love when companies do insane things like this.
The PS5 pack-in, Astro's Playroom, is honestly great. Loads of fun and pretty replayable. It's a short game, but it's an easy platinum trophy and does a great job at showing off what the PS5 and its new controller can do.
Last holidays I had to buy the god of war ragnarok bundle to get my hand on a ps5. A game I have zero interest. Paying like $50 more for "nothing" is very irritating. On top of that, it was just a code and not a physical copy so harder to resell.
That Hannah Montana PSP was rotting in clearance at my Walmart and that was how I finally got my parents to buy me the PSP. I rocked the hell out of it playing liberty city stories on the bus.
12:06 Man, I'm feeling REALLY nostalgic for "Console Bundles - Scott The Woz", I just finished that video an entire 20 seconds ago! It's a shame this video didn't come bundled with a copy of Peggle 2, huge missed opportunity there
The only bundle I wish they'd bring back is including 2 controllers with the system. I don't think I've seen one since the NES. Stuff's expensive! Edit: I should clarify that I meant an original run of the systems ie a first edition run where two controllers are included
I know PS4 and 5 have bundles with 2 controllers. Not sure about anything else. I mean I have a PS3 that was bundled with a dualshock 3 and a Move controller, but it hardly counts
When Scott said "an exclusive variant of one of these whatever-the-fucks" I just slowly looked up at my 3 book case shelves full of skylanders and sighed. How does Scott have a skylander I don't?
Console bundles, no matter if they're official or some third party mess, are honest-to-God excellent deals. I'm glad they exist, despite their problems.
Completely off topic, but I would totally buy a Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD. I don't even use CDs but if there were ever a day for Spotify to not be working, I'd be more then happy to pop good ol' Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD in my car to jam to on the way to work
The Hannah Montana PSP bundle just sold more in the past few hours since your video went up than it did in the years since it actually came out. And is now selling for over $4,200. Thanks, Scottbama.
Hey, buying that Xbox 360 bundle with Forza 4 and Skyrim was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. It introduced me to 2 franchises that I now love and have played for almost 10 years.
13:02 This literally happened to me. For this Christmas, I was buying a Switch for my sister but the *only* switch I could find ANYWHERE was the Animal Crossing switch. My sister doesn't like Animal Crossing and I know that because she never played the dsi one that she had, and after searching for forever I ended up just buying the OLED version instead because there wasn't any regular switches anywhere.
@@sylvy16 I'm talking about the switch itself that had the animal crossing theme. It wasn't just the game, it was the entire switch, and it would've been weird to get a switch that has a design for a game you don't even play haha
I can't find pictures of it online but way back when I bought my Gamecube in a bundle at Costco in the best bundle. It came with the Gamecube, an extra memory card, a second controller, pluh Smash Bros, the Smash Bros guidebook, and Luigi's Mansion. Probably one of the best bundles I've ever seen but it seems to be non-existent on the Internet. Only pictures of the standard console, memory card, and controller bundle Costco had.
In Europe I got the game cube bundle that contained Mario cart and the Zelda collectors edition which had ocarina, majoras and master quest on it. Single player and multi player fun for infinite hours. Best bundle in my book. But the smash bundle is also dope. I still play melee competitively to this day.
When I bought my ps4, believe or not, it was just for playing Minecraft. I bought a bundle that came with three controllers and CoD BO3. I didn't know the game till I bought and now I'm grateful that I bought it. It introduced me to the CoD franchise and I still play it auntie today
The most popular console bundle was undoubtedly when they packaged the "Not a Wii U" and "Dear god, anything but a Wii U" together. That thing sold like hot cakes
The only console bundle I've ever gotten was when my parents got our family a wii u with splatoon and smash bros pre-downloaded. This was also my first video game console ever, so I had no idea how to play either game.
Idk if anyone else has noticed this, but I love how much the lighting has improved since Scott first moved into his new studio. Looked way too blown out when he first shot videos in it, this looks way more natural. Good work!
That Mario Kart DS bundle was my first ever console! My parents got it for me one Christmas and I remember really loving it. They got me Nintendogs along with it and I think I pretty much never played Mario Kart, but it came with a few themed stickers and a wrist strap. I think it came with a case too, but I’m not sure.
The Gran turismo PS2/3 bundles honestly felt like Sony was just handing a PlayStation on a silver platter to you; they’re pricey now but they came with so much stuff
Console bundles were the reason my parents were ever interested in buying systems for me, oh the Wii comes with Wii Sports now we’re talking. They also made for a fun afternoon until I got bored and wanted more.
I actually did get the Xbox 360 bundled with Forza 4 and Skyrim! It was awesome since my parents were strict with video games. This way I didn't have to go buy Skyrim and then write a college final essay to convince them it wasn't remotely an adult game besides the blood. They just saw me play it and were like "That's a neat game," and then we all moved on with our lives. It was really nice. I might not have played it until way later had it not been for that bundle.
It felt like in the early days of consoles, Console Bundles drove a lot of sales for systems, particularly because of the smart choices the makers made for which games to bundle, particularly the pack-in titles. One of the big reasons for the NES's success was it being bundled with Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt, and Super Mario Bros. 3 at various points during its run. Then SEGA came along with Sonic the Hedgehog and ran away (pun intended) for a while with a massive success, Altered Beast, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, The Lion King, Vectorman, and other high-quality popular titles on the system. Nintendo hit back hard with Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario All-Stars+Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Killer Instinct, and Street Fighter II (in the UK). And then there was the perfect marriage: Game Boy and Tetris Bundle. No other game system in human history achieved success to the degree the Game Boy did with the ability to play one of the most universally popular and addictive games on the go. The handheld wars of the 90s were pretty much determined right there and then. Ain't no way the Game Gear, Atari Lynx, and the Turbo-Graphics Express were going to be able to compete with that.
I have really fond memories of the blue DS that included Mario 64 DS with it. It was the first system I ever saved up for. That $150 over an entire summer was worth it!
yes!!!! my first 3DS (I say first because I had to buy a new one a few years ago bc my original one exploded :(() was in a bundle with Nintendogs+cats!!!! absolutely a great bundle and even had the physical game, I think it was months until I asked for a second game haha
Been watching scott for almost 2 years now and i have to say thank you so much scott for the countless laughs and smiles, watching your videos always block everything around me and almost put me in my own world were i dont have to worry about family problems or stress on school finals. To be honest who knows if you are even going to see this but if you do please dont ever stop being you.
The one bundle I got in my life was a base Xbox one with three (it gets worse) games. The games were Ori and the blind forest, gears of war ultimate edition, and... Rare replay. For those who don't know, rare replay is a collection of most of rare's games. So you're not just getting 3 games, it's 32 games! Talk about an insane bundle, I'm surprised Scott didn't mention it.
Mine came with halo 5 and halo wars 1 and 2 it's a good bundle but i'm a game pass user so basically it's kinda useless to me because halo is not going anywhere
I remember when my friends got an Xbox, we would pop in Rare Replay and try to beat Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and that one ghost game. I also remember we wanted to play Banjo Tooie, but we couldn't figure out how to download it.
I remember my first DS. It was a blue DSi XL that came with a physical copy of Mario vs Donkey Kong Miniland Mayhem and preinstalled Brain Age Math and Brain Age Writing, each separating the Brain Age games out by their subject. It was definitely cool, and as someone who had never played Brain Age before, it was cool to have those
Scott, I gotta be honest dude, I don't think I can watch your videos anymore. Not because they're bad, they're very entertaining/informative, but now that I work at gamestop your videos just stress me out because it reminds me that I have to be somewhere somewhat stressful early in the morning 😂
I consider myself to be something of a Peggle expert. It’s my favorite game. I find Peggle 2 to be a stain on the good name and brand of Peggle. It’s recent representation in now three (3) Scott the Woz videos is truly sickening.
I agree. The mobile game is also an abomination. Honestly just make a new peggle that does the same thing as the first game but with new levels and I'll be happy. No need to change the artstyle or music drastically, just imitate the first game.
Personally I feel like the coolest pack in games are the ones that are pre installed on your system. I still remember unwrapping my 2ds on my birthday turning it on and seeing yoshi’s new island was already on the system.
nintendo's new strategy is just tell everyone it's "limited production" that way all the hardcore collectors, hardcore fans, and scalpers, will all be first in line. its a bundle of fun
Worth mentioning that some of this stuff isn't all that hard to find despite being 'limited'. Mario 3D All-Stars can still be found in many stores (including online) despite being nearly 8 months past the end of its distribution. And I don't think that's because nobody bought it, either. Think it was one of the Switch's top sellers for a bit when it first came out lol
Literally everyone got pissy about this practice for no reason because by the time August came around no one cares because literally everyone who was going to buy the game at some point already got it 2-3 months ago which was still like a 2 month period after it first came out. No one waits 9 months before buying a game they want and people who can't get it in that time should worry about fixing their income first and not Mario games.
I still have my very 1st home console, an SNES I bought at KB Toys with money I saved from my 1st full-time job. It came with 2 controllers, Super Mario World, Mario Paint, an SNES Mouse, and Mousepad. It was quite a while before I bought more games because I had plenty to keep me entertained with those 2 games alone. Good times.
I bought the Diamond & Pearl Special Edition DS Lite as a kid without realizing it didn't come with the game. It did come with a short animation on a DVD though! To tie in with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon of course.
I had the same issue with the Pokémon X/Y 3DS, and this was at a time when bundles were cheap and plentiful. At least you could get Super Mario 3D Land as a free download with it.
Fun fact on 10:28 from someone who's currently working at a GameStop, those GameStop "unofficial" bundles are actually just as official, the things that get bundled with them are chosen by Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo, not just GameStop. The Series X bundle for thanksgiving came with downloads for BF2042 and NBA2K22, a Razer headset for some fuckin reason, and a $100 GameStop gift card, and to my knowledge the only thing that wasn't manufacturer-chosen was the gift card
@@TheOminousBlade oh i have no god damn clue, i got the job super recently so i don't know much other than what coworkers and managers have told me, delivery isn't something i'm super well versed in yet. i've helped package a few games and the like for shipping, instore pickup, and for some ungodly reason DoorDash i think? but in terms of the actual delivery and shipping process, i've got nothing
9:32 I'm not an amiibo collector but I will openly say that I got that Wii U SMM1 bundle to get both the Wii U and SMM for Christmas years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made since I, in fact, like the Wii U.
I got a NES 2.0 with Castlevania bundled in in 1996 from my local Sears.... It was so cool to go back n revisit the NES games i could still find at local video stores....
The one bundle or special addition I wanted was sadly only in Japan. It was a metal slime themed 2 DS XL. It looks cool. It was a black DS, but on the left side a metal (bubble) slime was splayed out colored silver. It was also textured! As in the slimes face/head part was raised up from the actual DS, and it came with the latest dragon quest game. It always looked so cool to me.
@@alchemistghost8329 it's on my to get list one day. It's such a nice design, I love when they do they to the DS. Give it a raised design. It adds a special flair to it.

No matter how “convenient” online game purchasing and downloading gets, nothing will ever replace the satisfaction of taking a physical cartridge/disc and putting it into the system
8:31 THAT'S the one I got for Christmas back in the day. I ended up not liking the New Super Mario Bros. games, but I miss that Mario Galaxy soundtrack. IDK if we still have it. And as for the Wii U, I got the bundle with the digital Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D World.
my parents bought me the 'kung fu panda/ lego indiana jones xbox 360 bundle' for christmas after my first console red ring'd. As a hardcore gamer at the time who would never have bought these games any other way, I was suprised with how much fun they were.
i remember being confused as to where the games were until we went to best buy and they explained how digital bundles work, possibly the best hour of my life.
I always viewed the bundles like Animal Crossing NH (themed after a game it doesn't come with) as a way to let people choose between digital and physical. Which I love personally. I'd rather pay $360 to get the console + physical version than $340 or 350 for the console + digital version
8:18 There it is my first game console... Waking up to that on Christsmas (2011) was probably the best thing 10 year old me could have ever dreamed of. Brings back so many good memories.
13:01 - funnily enough, all European versions of the Animal Crossing Switch are bundled with a copy of the game. Granted, it's a digital copy, but EU and UK got the better deal compared to the US.
As far as consols I've actually BOUGHT as opposed to getting as a gift, both were bundles, but were within reason. First was in 2015 when I bought my WiiU which came with a pre-installed copy of Super Mario 3D World. As for why I waited until 2015 to get a WiiU, a few reasons: 1. I was only 19 at the time, and had only been at my then current (also first) job for only a year. 2. My main motivation for getting it was so that I would be able to play LEGO Dimensions (Yes, I spent a ton of many on the various expansion packs. No, I don't regret it.) The second was last year when I bought my Switch which came with a copy of Mario Kart 8 (as mentioned in the video). As for why I waited until 2020 to get a Switch, a few reasons: 1. The few games I did have I was just playing on my brother's Switch (he didn't really have a problem with it) 2. Months before I got mine, LEGO Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga had been announced (if you couldn't tell by now, I'm a fan of LEGO games (still remember playing the first LEGO Star Wars on Gamecube)), so it would probably help being able to play that for hours without having to constantly borrow my brother's (now if only it hadn't been delayed for nearly 2 years) Also, turns out I got mine just in time because a few months later, I tested positive for COVID-19, and was stuck in my room for 10 days. So at least I wasn't bored to death. Also, I had been able to get games I was already planning on getting for the Switch Anyway (SSBU, Ghostbusters Remastered, and got a pro controller with a downloadable copy of Super Mario Odyssey)
I can really relate to the first part of the comment :D But my motivation was lego city undercover. I got lego dimensions later (but the wii u version is kind of meh)

Console bundles were the reason my parents were ever interested in buying systems for me, oh the Wii comes with Wii Sports now we’re talking. They also made for a fun afternoon until I got bored and wanted more.
I actually did get the Xbox 360 bundled with Forza 4 and Skyrim! It was awesome since my parents were strict with video games. This way I didn't have to go buy Skyrim and then write a college final essay to convince them it wasn't remotely an adult game besides the blood. They just saw me play it and were like "That's a neat game," and then we all moved on with our lives. It was really nice. I might not have played it until way later had it not been for that bundle.
It felt like in the early days of consoles, Console Bundles drove a lot of sales for systems, particularly because of the smart choices the makers made for which games to bundle, particularly the pack-in titles.
One of the big reasons for the NES's success was it being bundled with Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt, and Super Mario Bros. 3 at various points during its run.
Then SEGA came along with Sonic the Hedgehog and ran away (pun intended) for a while with a massive success, Altered Beast, Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, The Lion King, Vectorman, and other high-quality popular titles on the system.
Nintendo hit back hard with Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario All-Stars+Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Killer Instinct, and Street Fighter II (in the UK).
And then there was the perfect marriage: Game Boy and Tetris Bundle. No other game system in human history achieved success to the degree the Game Boy did with the ability to play one of the most universally popular and addictive games on the go. The handheld wars of the 90s were pretty much determined right there and then. Ain't no way the Game Gear, Atari Lynx, and the Turbo-Graphics Express were going to be able to compete with that.
I have really fond memories of the blue DS that included Mario 64 DS with it. It was the first system I ever saved up for. That $150 over an entire summer was worth it!
Ds was the best
I got my DS Lite bundled with an exclusive version of Nintendogs. I loved that game to death. Probably the best DS bundle after Mario Kart.
yes!!!! my first 3DS (I say first because I had to buy a new one a few years ago bc my original one exploded :(() was in a bundle with Nintendogs+cats!!!! absolutely a great bundle and even had the physical game, I think it was months until I asked for a second game haha

The video also lined up the dialogue from the comment 😭
I love how scotts video qualities are consistent and funny even when his channel is growing at a rapid pace.
Been watching scott for almost 2 years now and i have to say thank you so much scott for the countless laughs and smiles, watching your videos always block everything around me and almost put me in my own world were i dont have to worry about family problems or stress on school finals. To be honest who knows if you are even going to see this but if you do please dont ever stop being you.
The one bundle I got in my life was a base Xbox one with three (it gets worse) games. The games were Ori and the blind forest, gears of war ultimate edition, and... Rare replay. For those who don't know, rare replay is a collection of most of rare's games. So you're not just getting 3 games, it's 32 games! Talk about an insane bundle, I'm surprised Scott didn't mention it.
That's how I got mine too 😂
That's a great bundle!
Mine came with halo 5 and halo wars 1 and 2 it's a good bundle but i'm a game pass user so basically it's kinda useless to me because halo is not going anywhere
I remember when my friends got an Xbox, we would pop in Rare Replay and try to beat Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and that one ghost game. I also remember we wanted to play Banjo Tooie, but we couldn't figure out how to download it.
"because yoshi's blue and i'm colorblind" never change scott
I’d like to see Scott cover the following:
Doom
Ring fit adventure
Gex
Flash games
Video game board games
Seconding gex
Yo video game board games is a great idea.
Ooooh Flash games and board games would be really good videos.
I’d love to see ring fit, since it’s wii fit + an rpg
Flash games would be prime Scott
0:22 geez the way Scott held up that knife was so damn sharp and I was legit worried he would get hurt.
I remember my first DS. It was a blue DSi XL that came with a physical copy of Mario vs Donkey Kong Miniland Mayhem and preinstalled Brain Age Math and Brain Age Writing, each separating the Brain Age games out by their subject. It was definitely cool, and as someone who had never played Brain Age before, it was cool to have those
Scott, I gotta be honest dude, I don't think I can watch your videos anymore. Not because they're bad, they're very entertaining/informative, but now that I work at gamestop your videos just stress me out because it reminds me that I have to be somewhere somewhat stressful early in the morning 😂
5:11 There better not be a damn gun inside that Panda. Someone please put this in an out of context Scott the Woz compilation.
I consider myself to be something of a Peggle expert. It’s my favorite game. I find Peggle 2 to be a stain on the good name and brand of Peggle. It’s recent representation in now three (3) Scott the Woz videos is truly sickening.
Does the P in Vladdy P stand for Peggle?
@@BeesechurgerProductions yes
This man hasnt gotten the collectors edition of peggle 2
I agree. The mobile game is also an abomination. Honestly just make a new peggle that does the same thing as the first game but with new levels and I'll be happy. No need to change the artstyle or music drastically, just imitate the first game.
based
7:59 one of the funniest Scott moments
Personally I feel like the coolest pack in games are the ones that are pre installed on your system. I still remember unwrapping my 2ds on my birthday turning it on and seeing yoshi’s new island was already on the system.
nintendo's new strategy is just tell everyone it's "limited production" that way all the hardcore collectors, hardcore fans, and scalpers, will all be first in line.
its a bundle of fun
Exactly. "Threaten them" as Scott said
Worth mentioning that some of this stuff isn't all that hard to find despite being 'limited'. Mario 3D All-Stars can still be found in many stores (including online) despite being nearly 8 months past the end of its distribution. And I don't think that's because nobody bought it, either. Think it was one of the Switch's top sellers for a bit when it first came out lol
Literally everyone got pissy about this practice for no reason because by the time August came around no one cares because literally everyone who was going to buy the game at some point already got it 2-3 months ago which was still like a 2 month period after it first came out.
No one waits 9 months before buying a game they want and people who can't get it in that time should worry about fixing their income first and not Mario games.
*_I have no objection whatsoever to business practices that EXPLICITLY target stupid people._*
@@guywhoateallthepizza1031 Sounds like you're projecting, friend.
I still have my very 1st home console, an SNES I bought at KB Toys with money I saved from my 1st full-time job. It came with 2 controllers, Super Mario World, Mario Paint, an SNES Mouse, and Mousepad. It was quite a while before I bought more games because I had plenty to keep me entertained with those 2 games alone. Good times.
I love your username, it's proof that mario world left an impression on you
I bought the Diamond & Pearl Special Edition DS Lite as a kid without realizing it didn't come with the game. It did come with a short animation on a DVD though! To tie in with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon of course.
I had the same issue with the Pokémon X/Y 3DS, and this was at a time when bundles were cheap and plentiful. At least you could get Super Mario 3D Land as a free download with it.
I had the same edition of DS Lite as a kid!
Ironically, I never played Diamond, Pearl, or the Mystery Dungeon DS game on the DS Lite
This is my favorite Scott the woz video and I just realized that It was uploaded on my birthday. I like this video even more now.
Fun fact on 10:28 from someone who's currently working at a GameStop, those GameStop "unofficial" bundles are actually just as official, the things that get bundled with them are chosen by Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo, not just GameStop. The Series X bundle for thanksgiving came with downloads for BF2042 and NBA2K22, a Razer headset for some fuckin reason, and a $100 GameStop gift card, and to my knowledge the only thing that wasn't manufacturer-chosen was the gift card
I have a question, what is your delivery service because I ordered 2042 and I got it a day late which is pretty lucky
@@TheOminousBlade oh i have no god damn clue, i got the job super recently so i don't know much other than what coworkers and managers have told me, delivery isn't something i'm super well versed in yet. i've helped package a few games and the like for shipping, instore pickup, and for some ungodly reason DoorDash i think? but in terms of the actual delivery and shipping process, i've got nothing
9:32 I'm not an amiibo collector but I will openly say that I got that Wii U SMM1 bundle to get both the Wii U and SMM for Christmas years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made since I, in fact, like the Wii U.
I never noticed how rich Scott and his parents were to be able to buy all these bundles.
He makes videos on youtube for a living. Only way to be successful at that is if you have a good support system, aka rich parents lol
@@helloismabye lol that’s actually pretty true for every youtuber i can think of off the top of my head
@@helloismabye he literally got most of his collection from thrift stores, what are you even talking about?
@@TheOminousBlade sure, but he usually talks about his childhood and how his mom would buy him a lot of stuff.
@@helloismabye he’s also an only child sooo 😉
I got a NES 2.0 with Castlevania bundled in in 1996 from my local Sears....
It was so cool to go back n revisit the NES games i could still find at local video stores....
I feel like watching Scott makes us feel nostalgia but also just smartens up are senses on how to judge a video game
@@iii7766 Yeah that's cool an all but who actually shot johnny joestar
@@iii7766 okay so? Democracy is people run, not private corporation or secret group run. It's quite literally why voting exists
"There Better not be a Gun inside that Panda" There are no words needed to explain this
The one bundle or special addition I wanted was sadly only in Japan. It was a metal slime themed 2 DS XL. It looks cool. It was a black DS, but on the left side a metal (bubble) slime was splayed out colored silver. It was also textured! As in the slimes face/head part was raised up from the actual DS, and it came with the latest dragon quest game. It always looked so cool to me.
Same I love the Dragon Quest series and that metal slime design is so cool looking
@@alchemistghost8329 it's on my to get list one day. It's such a nice design, I love when they do they to the DS. Give it a raised design. It adds a special flair to it.
On your way toward 2 million subs! It’s been a second since I’ve tuned in but your sense of humor and passion hasn’t staggered yet at all!
My first console was the Mario 25th Anniversary Red Wii, super glad you included it, giftcard holders and all
@@iii7766 Again this is a FUCKING SCOTT THE WOZ VIDEO, we aren't here to talk about politics we are here to talk about Wario world, go talk about it in every other place but here
I loved this wii, I was given it too!
scott's videos to this day never get old like looking at his old videos it still holds up only few youtubers can do that!

No matter how “convenient” online game purchasing and downloading gets, nothing will ever replace the satisfaction of taking a physical cartridge/disc and putting it into the system
8:31 THAT'S the one I got for Christmas back in the day. I ended up not liking the New Super Mario Bros. games, but I miss that Mario Galaxy soundtrack. IDK if we still have it.
And as for the Wii U, I got the bundle with the digital Nintendoland and Super Mario 3D World.
my parents bought me the 'kung fu panda/ lego indiana jones xbox 360 bundle' for christmas after my first console red ring'd. As a hardcore gamer at the time who would never have bought these games any other way, I was suprised with how much fun they were.
I can confidently say, Scott SHOULD do a commercial for Bass Pro Shop
Idk what it is but every time your outro just sounds so nostalgic and I listen every time I watch your videos!
“Hey all, Scott here” never gets old
But you do
It’s eternal. It will never die
@@BitchChill menacing
For someone who's not an RPG guy, Scott sure uses a lot of Pokémon music in his videos
You could even see shining pearl on his switch home screen
He actually is an rpg guy secretly, he's just insecure
@@minimik75 There were also multiple clips from it, I think he's playing it
His theme-music is from an RPG
@@panekmemes he did say he actually kinda liked Persona 4 Golden when he played 5 hours of it 👀
7:39 cuz poor literacy is kewl
1:02 it’s funny because I got a 360 for Christmas near the end of its lifespan and it was the Peggle bundle 😂
Same 💀
I remember getting my Wii U bundled with Mario 3D world! It was the best day of my life.
i remember being confused as to where the games were until we went to best buy and they explained how digital bundles work, possibly the best hour of my life.
I always viewed the bundles like Animal Crossing NH (themed after a game it doesn't come with) as a way to let people choose between digital and physical. Which I love personally.
I'd rather pay $360 to get the console + physical version than $340 or 350 for the console + digital version
Why do I have the feeling Scott just planted the seed of "I need to port Peggle 2 to the N64" in someone's mind with that ending?
8:18 There it is my first game console... Waking up to that on Christsmas (2011) was probably the best thing 10 year old me could have ever dreamed of. Brings back so many good memories.
0:38 I just want us all to acknowledge Scott bought a hard copy of Pokémon: Shining pearl
AND PLAYED IT
13:01 - funnily enough, all European versions of the Animal Crossing Switch are bundled with a copy of the game. Granted, it's a digital copy, but EU and UK got the better deal compared to the US.
I'm actually surprised it isn't bundled with the game in the US. Here in CIS it also has a game.
When you realize Scott's channel is the most comprehensive guide to video games ever made
I had the exact Xbox 360 bundle you showed in your Thumbnail, was the first console I bought myself
THIS IS A CERTIFIED SCOTT CLASSIC

This almost killed me but im good guys dont worry

"do you ever feel like if there's 3 or more games in a bundle it's a little overwhelming?" *shows a picture of the exact ps4 bundle i got*
As far as consols I've actually BOUGHT as opposed to getting as a gift, both were bundles, but were within reason.
First was in 2015 when I bought my WiiU which came with a pre-installed copy of Super Mario 3D World. As for why I waited until 2015 to get a WiiU, a few reasons:
1. I was only 19 at the time, and had only been at my then current (also first) job for only a year.
2. My main motivation for getting it was so that I would be able to play LEGO Dimensions (Yes, I spent a ton of many on the various expansion packs. No, I don't regret it.)
The second was last year when I bought my Switch which came with a copy of Mario Kart 8 (as mentioned in the video). As for why I waited until 2020 to get a Switch, a few reasons:
1. The few games I did have I was just playing on my brother's Switch (he didn't really have a problem with it)
2. Months before I got mine, LEGO Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga had been announced (if you couldn't tell by now, I'm a fan of LEGO games (still remember playing the first LEGO Star Wars on Gamecube)), so it would probably help being able to play that for hours without having to constantly borrow my brother's (now if only it hadn't been delayed for nearly 2 years)
Also, turns out I got mine just in time because a few months later, I tested positive for COVID-19, and was stuck in my room for 10 days. So at least I wasn't bored to death. Also, I had been able to get games I was already planning on getting for the Switch Anyway (SSBU, Ghostbusters Remastered, and got a pro controller with a downloadable copy of Super Mario Odyssey)
Nice
Nice
Nice

I can really relate to the first part of the comment :D But my motivation was lego city undercover. I got lego dimensions later (but the wii u version is kind of meh)
Scott giving Kingdom Hearts any amount of attention makes my day a million times better.

My first console was a lime green DS Lite that came bundled with Animal Crossing Wild World. Got me through so many car trips
