I'm just sitting here, munching popcorn and waiting for the news that Nintendo served a cease and desist notice to BBC because they used gameplay footage, images and advert of Nintendo's. Lmao.
Hope Nintendo do BBC sucks and are corrupt.
Underrated comment.
#FckNintendo
Finally, a BBC news segment that I give a damn about!
They need to get some new kids in on the act. Been running out
same man im gonna go on there next week and talk about spyro the dragon on the ps1 lol na seriously this is great stuff i 100 percent agree with you! :) hope u have a nice a day! regards -ace
@@aceheroes2583 Thanks fellow sonic fan! U too!
@@turokforever007new kids? dont give the bbc any ideas after what saville did! 😂
It's all a distraction
Last time I saw news presenters being genuinely curious and enthusiastic for video games was back in the 90s! This entire segment is pure childhood joy for me!
They were enthusiastic about retro games, including Metal Slug but when they talk about modern shooters or generally modern videogames, it's the evil that possesses people and make them violent and turn them them to be murderers. Shooting digital depictions of axis soldiers were good in the nineties but bad now, I guess.
Yeah. Even though it’s been proven that none of that is true.
Fake enthusiasm I'd say
News presenters
Genuine
Enthusiasm
Joy
Pick one
The most remarkable thing about this: The hosts aren’t condescending on gaming but genuinely interested.
Probably because they're not that old.
Times are changing! 100% this would have been a laugh at the quest/topic segment in the past
What? They haven't played a single game ever. Totally clueless. Just trying to be relevant. It's embarrassing.
@@glenmcl you enjoy being mad
They would be if this aired in America in the south 🙄
I am 57 and started playing games in the arcades in the late 1970's and have been a gamer ever since then. Love it
That's awesome. I love 70s tech, such a wonderful wholesome wood finish to consoles of the time.
The arcades in the early days were the best! Space invaders, dig dug, moon patrol...
love it, im 58 been gaming since the late 70s
I'm 58 and me too. From the 70s space Invaders arcade and remember pong. Still playing mostly from the peak in games Ps3, xbox 360 era.
OG 🫶🏻
Wow a wholesome segment from the BBC, what a rarity!
"Do you think the poor, suffering Hamas fighters have access to classic console games at the moment?"
Not really a rarity, you’re just biased
I like how these hosts are genuinely interested
yeah credit to them for not doing the usual condescending "people will pay HOW MUCH FOR A CHILDREN'S TOYYYYY?"
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere that’s exactly what sky did not long ago. A 13yr old at least i think 13 during his Christmas or just holiday had done something that no one had done in 40 years he beat Tetris. And how did sky report this?. They basically shot down his goal and said this “if I was his mother i would tell him to go outside. Get some fresh air. Beating Tetris is not a life goal”. Which is kind of ironic considering literally not long after she praised a darts player a game that is played inside
sorta
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhereno on says that but your mother
If this inspires others to revisit the games they cherished growing up, that's truly wonderful. If you're one of them, welcome!
I like this guy’s chilled enthusiasm. That’s the way to do it
Sega Mega Drive all the way, just recently dug it out and started playing some of the classics👌
I finally completed Strider on Megadrive last week. Not played it since I was a kid, but then started it not long ago. The sense of achievement was incredible
It also uses FM synthesis for its sound thanks to the Yamaha YM2612 and its sidekick the SN76489 housed within the awesome Sega VDP!
Such fond memories, like how you could insert sonic and sonic 2 into the knuckles cartridge and play knuckles in those titles!
@@Bevtone I didn't even know that was possible. Incredible
I was kinda sad that they didn’t mention sega.
-Worms- 👎
Worm 👌
“I like worm”
I remember being mugged for my game boy back in the 90s when I went to use the local phone box
I got mugged too after going to a Pokémon event 😆 but they failed to steal anything
It's the "pick-up and play" that is the appeal. Today the devices and games constantly need to be updated, connected to the internet and the software transferred to a hard drive.
I think having 12 buttons on a controller makes them hard to pick up and play. Nintendo are great at adopting new players with their range of easy pick up to play games, but Sony and Microsoft are appealing more to veterans right now.
there are countless reasons. id just sum it down to greed. i was just playing old xbox basketball game that i hadnt played before and having some fun and just thinking what it would be like today... main menu full of ads about hats and season passes you should buy, in-game splattered with ads, the whole gameplay loop turned into "play 9000 games as these weak players to get anywhere or pay us 5 bucks to skip a bit"
@@kallemetsahalme5701 Are you certain it was actually the original old version, and you didn't just confuse it with a newer one. If it was released only a generation ago then it makes sense, as the in app spending and microtransaction thing kinda came in then and it may have been updated retroactively.
The last thing we need is for Retro to go mainstream! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
This means it's finished!
it's been mainstream for the last decade.. see ebay prices. lol
I've got the xbox 360 back out playing silent hill. My ps5 hasn't been switched on for months
@@MrAdamg91 Best game on the ps5? Rondo of Blood.
@@MrAdamg91 same here, I dont even use my ps5, still use my og xbox, xbox 360 and ps3
Never stopped playing the games that are now retro games!
Same
Same here. My personal favourite is Mortal Kombat and I always come back to play it every now and then - knowing the combination for the fatality moves was always a highlight!
Really good segment from the BBC. Credit where its due.
She found a game boy in a phone box.. that's how Huw Edwards started
LOL😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀
Right now someone is like that’s my gameboy
Technology may have advanced since 1985, but our minds haven't budged a millimeter in comparison. A classic Gameboy will have the capability to entertain the human mind for centuries into the future.
I'd like to agree with you but in all honesty it isn't really most kids/teens/young adults these days will complain a great deal about the graphics saying "what the hell is this?."
@@DTM93 I agree with you. But take all that away from them for a week and then put a GameBoy in their hands... They'll still complain, but they'll be playing it...
@@The2xWhiskey Yeah i agree with you i mean people will ultimately still take what they can get if that's all there is naturally right?
I'm 31 have all the latest gaming tech but would probably still happily play pokemon on the GameBoy 😄
There's no way she contacted the police!!!
Last year I bought a fill size arcade game with 3,500 games on it, including space invaders, pacman, & all the mortal kombat games to name a few, best thing I ever bought
Makes me sad at how old I am. I remember the excitement first seeing an import super famicom with Mario world, it was the future. Now it’s a museum piece 😢
Yeah I thought it was amazing compared to my Vectrex. These days I wouldn't mind a go on the older Vectrex - I know its in someone's attic lol
When you put it like that. Remember the same excitement back then
Don't be sad my friend, because you're slightly wrong about something. The technology certainly should be accounted for in small part in museums to preserve a sample of the items well past our lifetime, but these are being used and bought on massive scale today for anything but museum pieces. There is absolutely an insane resurgence of popularity in these devices and games now with people our age who are getting back into all the games and original consoles once again. Even younger people getting hyped on retro gaming more than ever before in history. You should be happy and excited that we are the lucky generation that this is happening to. People are cherishing, celebrating, and playing the games from the 80s and 90s more again now, as if they are new in many cases. There are several reasons for this, but to name a couple reasons, those generations of kids from that time (us) have finally become adults with nostalgia and the money to finally get all the games we didn't get to experience back then. The culture of gaming conventions and new content on youtube dedicated to retro gaming is rising. Also, a lot of gamers, young and old, have started to realize the draw backs associated with a lot of new games being developed which give a different experience. The new games are often download only, and require continued downloadable content or internet access, with online players being an essential part of the game. This means that in the future, if the servers are down or there isn't the same online presence in the game, the game becomes basically useless, and that's if the game is even available anymore, because you don't get to physically own the game in a nice little package like we were able to in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. This makes new games less of an investment because you will never be able to sell or even enjoy the games later. The retro games in physical form will be a much better gaming investment for your personal experience and financially in the future.
Please don't be sad, Age is just a number that walks with you, ignore it and live your life happily, i hope you have a good day always bless you!
@@FantasyNero ah thanks, I do to be honest, I just miss the innocence and excitement of childhood. Things like the latest games would genuinely be a big thing to me. The whole scene now doesn’t hold that excitement, despite it being the most advanced it’s ever been. I remember seeing virtua fighter for the first time in 94, that was a wonder to behold. I miss those times 😢
That NeoGeo game wow..what a great find..
It's only 150 on ebay. He lied!
@@maxheadroomsfanThat would be a conversion for 150 , if it’s an original Metal slug Aes it’s worth thousands ££
Thanks for sharing this M2K . Last generation for me was PS3 era , no time for modern gaming. Making a purchase of a game you should own the full game and today in most cases you need to have an internet connection to download huge portions and updates , and potentially pay for additional content. I still have and more to the point still use my original gameboy and SNES.
I loved “worm” too. Classic game
I just bought a game cube, it was always my favourite.
Phantasy star online local multiplayer was great.
Gotcha Force was always one for me but PSO is very good.
Still have my Launch system
I love retro handhelds!
metal slug, awesome.
That is a fun news segment to watch. I remember playing so many of them in Bangladesh. Sega Arcade Games and Neo-Geo Arcade Games were so popular there back then.
Last year I started collecting all the retro consoles but VR is a fantastic way to experience or re-experience retro gaming
“I liked worm…” I bet you did love! 😂
I bought a handheld games console few months ago for £13 and it has every retro game you can think of, gameboy, GBC, GBA, megadrive, snes, famicom. 8 year old me would of been in dreamland
Oh just love retro games :)
Congrats to the BBC for discovering 'games consoles' in 2024.
The bbc whose computer was home to the first sim racer and 3d open world game? Without the bbc, gaming would be years behind
@@mynameisleeyesitis I'd give more credit to Acorn Computers who built those computers. Even without the BBC's computer literacy project for schools (which was over 40 years ago) other successful microcomputers (Apple II, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64) and gaming would have done fine without the BBC branding.
3:28 ‘I liked Worm’ Is such a ‘I love lamp’ moment.
Yeah, I can only assume she'd played some knockoff version of Snake once, or badly misremembered the name.
@@Ashley6100I thought she meant Worms, but a Snake clone is more likely now that you mention it.
Being an 80s kid, I grew up with all these beauties. Also, as a Twitch Retro Streamer, it beings me so much joy, bringing these classics to new audiences
Same here. 80's kid, first console was the spectrum ZX. Basic graphics but so much charm!
Nice to see newsreaders being enthusiastic. The go-to responses are usually along the lines of "grow up" or "aren't computer games for kids!?" Thanks for sharing this segment. I'll forward this vid to my subscribers on my community section. 🕹👍
Conditioned belief systems are to blame for statements like "grow up" because society has conditioned adults to believe in stop doing joyful activities and to stay young at heart, hence one of the reasons why there is an epidemic of mental health problems today. We all get enthusiastic because the nostalgia lights up that child within all of us, times where we had incredibly happy moments we want to feel again. Gaming as an adult is good as it's relaxing, your alertness and coordination skills can be improved and you can play with others so you have community. You also have to look at the people telling you to grow up or frown upon things, they will always tend to be the most unhappy.
@@greenkitty82 - Totally agree. 👍
I was seriously addicted to Tetris and once played it non stop for 6 hours. When I looked at the ceiling my brain was trying to twist polystyrene ceiling tiles.
Frazer was good at presenting all that stuff
Retro gaming is absolutely amazing. I'm having the gaming experience of a lifetime with collecting for the Nintendo 64, gameboy and gameboy color, NES, SNES, Genesis, even PS1, PS2, and PS3 have some of the most amazing and enjoyable games that will be a blast to pick up and play until the end of time.
Mega Drive!
The thing is that it is the games that people loved playing and not the boxes. All of these games are available to play for free with a bit of searching.
@@MrDirkles There's nothing wrong with playing digital. Owning a hard copy of the original and plugging it into the original console with the original controller is what I enjoy.
Awesome. I have one of those emulator boxes that have lots of retro games installed to play when you want. I own a few physical copies from back in the day but you get a huge library of everything for your hearts content. I like what you said "play to the end of time".
Retro gaming all the way
Retro gaming musiam in Sheffield is a god send. Being in my 40s and playing mega drive and nes games was amazing lol kid in a candy store lol
Museum
16 bit games like snes and the arcades are still so fun and pleasing to the eyes... they're timeless.
That's awesome! I love the Gameboy, it's such a wonderful console. I revisit Gen 1 Pokemon frequently.
I was in a US shopping mall many years ago and clearly remember a stack of Nintendo Virtual Boys outside a shop. They were desperately trying to sell them off cheaply. And I did anticipate that they might become valuable collector's items and wondered if I ought to buy a couple.
But I didn't. :(
I can't help thinking that the BBC are few years late here!!
A few decades 😂
I too liked "worm"
Retro or current, good games are good games and bad games are bad games.
good games are old games . Bad games are new games.
@@MrDirklesyou don't like quality of life? Enjoy no save states with cheap deaths, and high random encounter rates.
@@MrVariant not all games have cheap deaths and random enemies . For example, look at the Eugene Jarvis 43 year old classic , Defender.
@MrDirkles you had to dig for that one and completely ignore what I said about quality of life. That's the point of a modern day collection or remaster, to improve the game, and make those "problems" optional for those purists. Even autosave helps a ton, to not redo a ton of progress, or if you have to quit a session early, not backtrack/redo.
@@MrVariant no way would save points improve defender. The excitement comes from the relentless enemy attacks with no chance to rest and the fact that it could be game over at any minute. Furthermore, if a game like castlevania for example allows the player to save whenever they like it takes away what sort of game the designer intended.
So fantastic and interesting
I just got S.C.I for the Master System so yeah people are still attracted to retro games. 😊
Considering how good the arcade version looks, it's actually a pretty decent conversion!
@@plume... It's a bit trimmed down apparently but it's not too bad.
*I love Retro games and coverage like this* ❤️
Been a gamer since 1983 and hope to continue. Still have my old consoles. Including my Xmas gift in 1990 Gameboy which I still own and enjoy. Lol
Got a Game Boy Pocket for my birthday this year!
Finally the news brings good light to gaming rather than the usual games are bad stick. Great segment BBC
The bbc has been doing this for decades. The bbc is responsible for getting our greatest game designers and developers into the industry.
I think this is why my favourite games console in recent years has been the Quest 2 as theres a sense of throw back to when games were experimenting with different ways and it wasnt all about getting as much money out of you like most games nowadays.
MeeeTaaaaal SLuuuG, cue music…god I can still hear it.
Love that even with modern games and consoles being as good as they are, people are still interested in retro gaming and older consoles. At comic and gaming cons, it's wholesome to see new generations trying out older games, parents introducing their kids to games they grew up with, or even just older fans revisiting their youth 😊 current gen often needs extra loading time or dlc before playing, so the "pick up and play" aspect is also appealing. Glad to see this brilliant segment on the BBC, a nice change from all the awful things happening in the world right now 😢
I bought a Game Boy in 1989 and it still works today and is in perfect condition! I took a picture of it on my Instagram recently. Same username as this one!
Ah, yes! That well-known retro game "Worm" 🤦♂️
LOL he was very polite not to correct her videogame noob/ignorance! Perhaps there is an actual videogame called Worm though, on the ZX Spectrum, that she was referring to.....
There was a game called Worm installed on a lot of school computers in the UK, very much like Snake on mobile phones. Could be what she's talking about.
Yeah and snake was called worm on some early non-Nokia phones
@@lordmaximus780 "Worms" was a videogame made by Team 17 In the UK was massively popular, not so much today.
@@SirTobyGirl Yeah pretty clear to me that she means "Worms".
This is probably the most mainstream attention the Nintendo virtual boy ever got from the UK media lol
The dreamcast was the ultimate console.
It's best stuff ported to gamecube, and backwards compatibility from wii would say otherwise. Same with ps2 bc ps1 and DVDs.
get crazi taxi one of the best games for the dreamcast superior to the pc version as well
@@MrVariant This doesn't really make sense though does it, the Dreamcast for one has full-fat audio processing hardware that can do MIDI, FM, PWM real-time synth audio generation thanks to the power house Yamaha Intelligent audio processor, sample based synth with 256 channels and up to 8MB Audio RAM, 3D PCM, something the Gamecube just doesn't have (it does have a great DSP, which works out great for native GC games though), so just audio alone makes the DC the better hardware, but then there is the beautiful VGA output with immaculate 480p, the awsome VMU, the best hall-effect controller, the Dreamcast online multiplayer network (worked brilliantly from day one), the extremely low latency gameplay (Quake feels so good on DC), the DC was unrivalled as far as a pure fun game console with quality games, audio and video, the Gamecube was the closest out of all 4 that generation, which was also a fantastically designed console and gamepad, and all the of the best DC exclusives, and there are many, remain on the DC and played, looked, sounded best on the DC.
It had hardly any good exclusives although it did have blue stinger that's a classic
@Wobble2007 I'll play gc phantasy star online over dc any day, let alone game boy advance connectivity for zelda four swords and of course the good final fantasy crystal chronicles, that the remake bastardized. You do seem to like technical stuff, let alone skies of Arcadia was enhanced on gamecube.
I’m 16 and I own a Virtual Boy! It the crown jewel of my Nintendo collection
Newer isn't always better!
not with the amount of bugs in them i agree never thought i would have to research everygame for i spend my money for bugs man i miss those ps2 days
Actually a really good little interview, and total respect shown for the art and hobby of gaming all round, which is just nice to see. Oh how far we've come. :D
If this was the early 2000s Interview , theyd be less rwspectful and “get a life” attitidude
New games are just about shooting something. Ive got a gameboy colour and nes mini and i love playing them because i can turn it on and be playing it in within a few seconds, and the games are actually fun to play.
I love collecting retro and variations of the same Consoles. Its not easy when everything is costly. I also love modern games also. Last month got my hands on boxed Sega Game Gear with 16 games, 12 of those are boxed. Very happy.
Retro consoles were so awesome!
I get nostalgic just seeing BBC and a SNES controller together. Weirdly it makes me think of British games magazines of the 90s. There was so much sense of humor and happiness at that time. Now it’s just criticism and negative news.
I have a Commodore CDTV with an infra-red mouse & controllers - so ahead of it's time. Still looks modern, even today. I paid £50 for it - it's worth well over £1k now!
Ah, I sold off some of my old games a couple of years ago. The most valuable went for £500 (Panzer Dragoon Saga), it was definitely bittersweet letting them go. I've kept many of them though.
The stand on Virtual Boy is placed correctly. Congrats!🤓
Yes beautiful
Snes and N64 for me personally. My favourites and still play them. Modern games don't have the same love and care given to them. It's all about mico transactions.
Modern games are amazing if you know where to look, FROM have released at least 5 of the best games of all time with Demon’s, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring, nothing from the past really comes close. The Resident Evil series goes from strength to strength after disaster of #6, the Resident Evil 4 remake is an incredibly good game. Even so anyone that likes older games you HAVE to pick up an Anbernic or MIYOO Mini, absolute bargains at the moment, just amazing devices that play all these old games for a fraction of the price
@timyorke4465 I've never played any of the soulsborne games but I have played King's field which is fromsoftware's 1st game from 1994 as a early ps1 game , absolute banger of a game and the whole KF franchise is underrated. It is hard as hell but plays in 1st person instead of 3rd person unlike the soulsborne stuff and has great exploration and I like the combat too
5:32 r/Accidental Renaissance
That image is art 🖼️
That's why my RUclips channel increased I didn't know people still playing retrogame
Retro is the very best.
Wow! A television show that covers retro gaming in a normal way!!
Actually ps2 is greatest console of all time with 170million sale
Outragous new game, Tretris 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Got a gameboy when I turned ten in 96. Still have it and let my 5 and 8 year old nephews play it now.
I recently just plugged back in an old Mega Drive Model 2 system that I bought in 2019. The Mega Drive is my personal favourite retro console.
Worm is definitely one of the games of all time
Retro rules
The presenters are spot on- any current game systems will be obsolete when the games are no longer supported, the older systems still play 30 years on
Awesome
Retro games have been booming since the turn of the millennium. I always felt of the NES and SNES as retro in the mid 90s and started collecting in 95, even though they were still being developed for technically.
Eh sort of. 1995 was sort of when the nes was on its way out
@@lewisgrant7622 thats what I said
When a post-apocalyptic robot shoots your hand and you go "ooh, Tetris".
The big problem is forced connectivity. Games from just one generation ago are often unplayable because the servers are gone or they use a DRM service that no longer exists.
With a retro game the most you'll need is the original hardware or an emulator.
3rd, 4th , 5th Gen games consoles ❤❤❤
Retro was the best kept secret a few years ago.... now the prices are going crazy. Glad I bought a shed load of Sega, Nintendo, Atari and Amiga stuff when it was all cheap and nobody cared! Now keeping a keen eye on PS3 stuff cos you know what will happen to those collections in the near future!
Ps3 is useless. Get those games on 360 and play them on series x in 60-120 fps and auto hdr.
Amiga gear was always expensive, and then the prices soared when the collectors got involved.
@@CantankerousDave I had quite a collection from new in the 90's. A500, A500+, CD32, A4000 and an A1200. My first Amiga was the batman pack.
lol ps3 games are available on psn and many get re releases newest shit i collect for is wii u
@@neiljaxx i have a cd32 but why the fuck is the dogbone controller so expensive? and why is it always sold seperate from the cd32? so strange? do folk just sell them and replace with a megadrive pad? thats stupid cause the pin layout is different and can fuck up the controller chip on the board.
Got over 300 snes games and handful of snes consoles ,love it all
❤ I still play retro games love em 😊 I access almost everything on my hacked Vita
Kudos for the news to cover something like this. Most news channels would laugh at stuff like this.
Does anyone else find it a bit surreal hearing people who are not overly obsessed with games and gaming history talking about video games? Like this is what it looks like from a normal person’s perspective 😂 v cool that they had a segment on this!
Retro rules.😁
Modern games are astonishing, but the dopamine fix comes from Retro gaming 🤘👾🕹️
I got my 1st black & white game boy I traded for a super scratched up charizard pokemon card in 90s...still have it and was the best bit of business I ever done😅😅
The history of gaming is important, the same as the history of movies, music, any art form. With emulation and retro achievements and modern hardware, retro games have never been better.
Echoed from other comments but Yeah It's refreshing to see the hosts are interested and have their own experiences with consoles 👍
