That's awesome Rick! I was one of the kids who grew up in the hospital who played on a machine just like that. It made me really happy when the nurses wheel that Nintendo Kiosk in. You are a lucky guy. : )
Man this brought me back!!! I was in and out of the hospital for months after I had been hit in the head with a golf club. (Total accident) Anyway, after an 8+ hour brain surgery and many days of coming back to my senses the nurses wheeled the n64 version of this into my room. It was a total escape and really gave me something to look forward to. My older siblings and parents chipped in and got me my very own n64 when I got home. I was seven at the time and it started my love affair with video games. I will always be thankful for whoever thought of this for hospitals.
I live 3 hours away and hands down you guys have the best GameCube section not only on the state- but the best I have ever seen. Wish it was closer to me
I remember when this store had the previous owners, you have really turned this place around. There was an aamazing vibe when I came in on Sunday it was just amazing. Love what you have done to the place. I look forward to coming in to buy something soon.
Thanks again Rick! For giving me a good deal on the cib NES console and my boys pokemon cards!!! Me and my two boys will forever remember our first visit at your store can’t wait to go back again!!! THANKs!!!
I had the same Kiosk pop up in my area for 400 about 2 months ago. It was 2 hours away, but more than worth it. 30 mins into the drive the seller messaged me saying someone closer was on the way to get it even tho he already made the deal with me. Sad Day😢
@@SnipesXxXI actually offered up to 600 (all I had at the time). He replied sorry the other guy was closer and needed the money now, then left the chat. Who knows maybe it was a scam the whole time. Never had that happen before
I hate when sellers sell stuff right out from under you. If you've made a deal with someone and set a time to meet, I don't care what comes up, you honor that deal unless the buyer backs out. I never treat my buyers like that. It's a big pet peeve of mine.
That Kiosk brings back some tough memories. I played that non stop when I was in the hospital for West Nile in 1999 or 2000. It had 20 or so SNES games that I would rotate through. Probably the main reason I fought it lol
Rick, Your videos are awesome and I like the energy and positivity you and Mike bring. You have the coolest retro game store and I hope to visit one day. Keep up the good work you do and as you say Rick Never Stop Gaming.
Great score with the Kiosk! I think it's amazing that all of these awesome gaming relics keep getting dug up by you guys. Keep preserving that gaming history!
This might be the first time you got a kiosk that i really want myself. I just love the SNES era more and more as i get older and that set up is just amazing. I'm with you, all the plastic is fantastic! What really blew me away is that the speakers are still good and they were so loud! Stellar buy sir!
Man that’s my holy grail I used to play these in the hospital spent most of my childhood in the hospital these things got me through some dark times so cool
Great video Rick! Please create an old-school arcade with all your kiosks, cabinets, and pinball machines. It could be a small section of your store or a nearby store.
Man i want that lisa simpson statue you got!!! Hahah ive benn looking for a year, stumbled upon your videos a couple months ago and now am just seeing your shop in the past couple videos. This is crazy you got the whole family! Ill hopefully get one soon. Im hoping to get her and bart but since ive seen more barts than her, and she sits upright, i really wanna get her. This was a great video man, thanks!!
Super crazy, but I actually had that exact hospital unit back in 2016. I got it from a guy in Bloomington IL who lived across from a hospital. Said they pulled it from the trash but the tv was busted out. I think I paid like $40.. I can’t believe it’s worth that much.. before I get asked, no I don’t still have it. I sold it to Jay from the game chasers for $150 I think and he drove from Texas to IL to get it. I think he was already traveling to Chicago for the World Series that year and made a pit stop to grab it. Wonder if he ever got it working.
@@brentsalassi5245 I'm sure not.. however if you saw a few videos back when he bid on that Nintendo world championships game he let it slip that his dad is wealthy.
@@titansrule72 Yeah I have to really try hard to dismiss that he is a trust fund baby and didn't actually earn what he has, but I've managed it and I still like him.
My Frosh year of HS in Fall of 1998 I got wicked sick with something that docs could not initially diagnose. I was quarantined in a hospital room for a week. They had a SNES on rollers that kids could get access to for like an hour at a time. I believe I got access to one twice and played Super Mario World. I do not fully recall exactly what the framing and everything looked like (I do not remember roll bars or access to a VCR on mine), but it was such a cool, morale boost for me in such a crazy and scary time. This was a tremendous find on your part. 👊🔥🙏
I'm heading that way in a couple weeks. Can't wait to go in the store. I love to haggle like Rick in the old days. You want 90$? Ill give you 4 bucks 🤣
I would contact a children’s hospital in the area and bring it into a general activity area and have a tournament on a more modern console for the opportunity to have it in their room for 2 days. I would probably bring in larger crt screens like 19 inch but wheel this into the patient room of the tournament winners with their choice of games. I would also bring some type of wireless controller whether 2.4 or Bluetooth, replaceable or built in lithium battery, original style controller or ability to connect Xbox or PlayStation controllers.
I’ve been following you for a while. I saw the video where you posted a clip of you leading worship. Would love to hear you lead worship. I’m a worship pastor too. Do you have more videos of you leading?
I played on one of those fun centers when I was a kid I was in the hospital with Pneumonia and when the nurse asked if I wanted on, I told her heck yeah, I only got it for a few hours the hospital only had one or two of them, but it still made a fun time.
Good morning from Japan! I love these type of videos where you just show off your sheer joy at acquiring something rare like that Kiosk. Also, props to that dude for bringing it to ya. I am really interested in how you're NES collection is coming along... seriously invested in your hunt for all the games. Wish I could come to your convention but, you know, I am in Japan lol. I did message you via your business email about bringing a Japanese idol to your convention to sing, since it would be interesting and she could do videogame-related things and do cosplay, but you never replied. That's actually what I wanted to tell you, since you said in the end of the video we could talk about whatever we want... it would be helpful if you had somebody on your staff that could reply to inquiries and mail. I get that Retro Rick himself might be too busy, but can I request that you try to find some time to reply to people who are reaching out to you? I mean, we all support your channel a lot, and I am super busy myself so I sympathize if you guys are really incredibly busy all the time that replying to emails doesn't seem like a priority, but... well, don't you think it should be a priority? Your fans out there are the reason you have this channel and money coming in from these channels, right? And I've been watching you for a long time now. So just a constructive suggestion, as I'm not complaining. Keep doing what you're doing and thank you so so much for all this great content. I literally watch your vids the moment they pop up on my home feed.
Love the videos. Do you ship stuff? I'm looking for (breath of fire 2 on SNES) . I almost want to open my own store after watching your videos all the time. Thank you for your time reading this message.
Retro Rick! Your $10 Video Game Collection videos inspired me to get into reselling and its been amazing so far. Thank you for all the entertaining content!

There’s another hospital Nintendo for sale in NC right now…🎉🎉🎉

3 hours away is closer than 90% of us consider ur self lucky
I live in Arkansas!
Just the furthest part from Conway as possible 😔
Easily becoming my favorite RUclipsr, your videos are perfect to watch when eating a good meal lol
Out of all the Retro bunch...Retro Rick is King.
Dang you did Jared dirty with the Subway pic lol 💀
thought the same thing lmao
I don't think any Jared wants to be lumped in with or represented by that particular scumbag.
That was a disappointing clip
The joy on your face when the kiosk started up… priceless
I saw one of these on a hunt in Myrtle Beach 🏖️ last month. Pretty stunning 😍
Visiting the store is now officially on the bucket list.
Using Jared from Subway is WILD😂
@@jayhouston7054I wish
Haha i was going to comment the same. Too good.
3:07 Jared Fogel jumpscare
Welp, was looking for a comment about this.We know who he is, wondering if the editor forgot why he ain't in the Subway commercials anymore.
Not a good look throwing a convicted pedo in your video.
Jared the Child Predator
Yikes! Not good
made me kind of sad to see his face on this channel directed so heavily towards childhood nostalgia :(
Favorite channel on RUclips! So much nostalgia, living vicariously through you my good man.
It's my favorite channel on RUclips also. The nostalgia is so comforting lol
I remember when this store had the previous owners, you have really turned this place around. There was an aamazing vibe when I came in on Sunday it was just amazing. Love what you have done to the place. I look forward to coming in to buy something soon.
Another great channel by Retro Rick. Tons of fun to enjoy. ♥️

f that guy
Should have offered $500 or more I'm sure that would have changed his mind.
@@SnipesXxXI actually offered up to 600 (all I had at the time). He replied sorry the other guy was closer and needed the money now, then left the chat. Who knows maybe it was a scam the whole time. Never had that happen before
nothing worse then deal breaker what a scumbag.

Me and my wife drove 5 hrs from MS to see the store about a month ago. The store is awesome Rick, really took me back! I can’t wait to come shop again
Rick comes across as such a genuine, down-to-earth, Smashing bloke!.
This is by far the best retro channel on RUclips ❤❤❤❤❤ love your videos they never fail to make me happy!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Man that’s my holy grail I used to play these in the hospital spent most of my childhood in the hospital these things got me through some dark times so cool
I want all of your games and systems. Every single one.
Love the channel, would be awesome to have longer videos
...never would have thought such a kiosk exists! Amazing piece.
I love the colors on that hospital kiosk. Very 90s & one chunky boi
I love your store, and you looking slimmer
Great video Rick! Please create an old-school arcade with all your kiosks, cabinets, and pinball machines. It could be a small section of your store or a nearby store.
We were there that day! Thanks for the hook up on the Famicom Disk System!
Hello Rick,love the video,and of course that Kiosk,definitely to be treasured. 😊
That colour combo on the kiosk.
screams 90s!
Looks awesome love those colours!
Man i want that lisa simpson statue you got!!! Hahah ive benn looking for a year, stumbled upon your videos a couple months ago and now am just seeing your shop in the past couple videos.

That's so cool. Sound is amazing! How much fun would that have been for kids in hospitals! Kids would have absolutely loved this.
You blew my mind brick bring me back to the pass when I was in the hospital. I was in coma and I woke up playing and I was so happy with my dad.
Oof, y'all did your guy Jared wrong for that one.
Never really had the desire to go to Arkansas but since watching your vids, I definitely want to now
Your store is beautiful
Love you videos have fun 🎉🎉😊😊
This brought back a core memory for me. I played duck hunt on the original NES when I was in the hospital as a kid. Very cool pickup!
Super crazy, but I actually had that exact hospital unit back in 2016. I got it from a guy in Bloomington IL who lived across from a hospital. Said they pulled it from the trash but the tv was busted out. I think I paid like $40.. I can’t believe it’s worth that much.. before I get asked, no I don’t still have it.

@theshadyjayshow
My favorite retro go to in Arkansas !!!!
Welcome back Ricky..😊
place is becoming a museum for video game culture more than a store.
Retro Rick's Museum & Gaming Cafe
It’s his own big personal gaming room than a store , does anything actually even get sold from there
@@siriso007You think he’s able to afford rent and payroll without selling stuff?
@@brentsalassi5245 I'm sure not.. however if you saw a few videos back when he bid on that Nintendo world championships game he let it slip that his dad is wealthy.
@@titansrule72 Yeah I have to really try hard to dismiss that he is a trust fund baby and didn't actually earn what he has, but I've managed it and I still like him.
Seen one of these a couple days ago pop up on my fb marketplace feed cool to see you got one!
That is an amazing pick up for the store. I have been into Nintendo all my life but never saw a hospital snes kiosk in the wild.
Great score for him and great buy for the store!
Keep spreading the Maximo love!
EYYY I sent you a link to it on facebook! Glad you got it!
I live in Kissimmee, FL and we had the N64 hospital kiosk at the Osceola Regional Medical Center!
Hi from Wales!
so cool... just shared this vid
Your store is retro goodness my friend
Awesome as usual, great content
I have the same exact VCR! I'm currently using it to hook up my recently acquired Atari 7800 until I can get around to modding it to S-Video.
i love the colors in that snes kiosk
Great video as always
My Frosh year of HS in Fall of 1998 I got wicked sick with something that docs could not initially diagnose. I was quarantined in a hospital room for a week. They had a SNES on rollers that kids could get access to for like an hour at a time. I believe I got access to one twice and played Super Mario World.

That Jared pic is out of pocket.
I'm heading that way in a couple weeks. Can't wait to go in the store. I love to haggle like Rick in the old days. You want 90$? Ill give you 4 bucks 🤣
I remember playing Maximo! Always enjoyed the art style.
i used to play the n64 one at the hospital when i was a kid all the time
I saw the listing for that kiosk not long ago and thought "there's something that Rick's gonna buy", how prophetic.
I would contact a children’s hospital in the area and bring it into a general activity area and have a tournament on a more modern console for the opportunity to have it in their room for 2 days. I would probably bring in larger crt screens like 19 inch but wheel this into the patient room of the tournament winners with their choice of games. I would also bring some type of wireless controller whether 2.4 or Bluetooth, replaceable or built in lithium battery, original style controller or ability to connect Xbox or PlayStation controllers.
That’s awesome 👏🏻

Ya quiero estar en el retrofest!!!
Totally forgot about those SNES setups. Played one when I was in the hospital for a week as a kid. What an awesome find.
i really hope you have like merch and hoodies at the con up to 3x
There is one of these in Lincolnton, NC on facebook marketplace now
Hope to meet you someday Rick! You’re a long way from Idaho :)
Guy made over 30 times his money on the hospital kiosk…
He only got 1800 for it?
@@MrBill-ee4mr$2250
so ?
And? Rick was happy to pay the price he did. Dude gets a awesome piece of Nintendo history for his store, dude gets a sweet payday.
You need to start selling on line
Would be great to see some love for the OG consoles.
I played on one of those fun centers when I was a kid I was in the hospital with Pneumonia and when the nurse asked if I wanted on, I told her heck yeah, I only got it for a few hours the hospital only had one or two of them, but it still made a fun time.
maximo is one of the best platform series on the ps2, ghost to glory and army of zin. Wish more people would know about these games

i want that green and purple mickey mouse shirt hiding behing the controllers in the back room between the racks 🔥🔥🔥
I spent a lot of time as a kid in Vanderbilt playing on one of these
I really wanna see your TMNT section!
Yall did Jared dirty.
There is one of these on Facebook marketplace near Charlotte, NC
Nice SNES set up.
idk if hiring jared from subway was a good idea
Subway Jared 💀😆 WOW that SNES Display is so awesome!
SNES console kios NICE!!!
Do you have to have tickets to come in and buy stuff
Super cool
Because the guy is from St. Louis, that SNES kiosk was more than likely obtained at some point from the Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
wish there was more ps2 love on here ,still a great channel
0:25 Hey that's where i live!
Love the videos. Do you ship stuff? I'm looking for (breath of fire 2 on SNES) . I almost want to open my own store after watching your videos all the time. Thank you for your time reading this message.
Need to get the space next door to expand running out of room 😂😂
rick i would love to do what you are doing... this is amazing.
Okay, that really is something!
Retro Rick! Your $10 Video Game Collection videos inspired me to get into reselling and its been amazing so far. Thank you for all the entertaining content!
Great item you got Rick..free space is getting less and less..
