- Midwest Gaming Classic may be, by now, the biggest retro gaming, pinball, arcade video game convention of this type in the United States -- maybe even the world. I have a great time as always. Here's what I saw, what I ate, who I ran into and what went down in Milwaukee.

(They are not a paid sponsor for this video, but did provide me some clothing to wear at conventions so figured I'd show them some love as they did for me.)

That projection, pop-up book thing... wow. Just wow.
Definitely onto something with that idea
Yea that is insane I didnt even see that when I was there.....but looks awesome for sure
I’d buy that in a heart beat
a highlight for me.
So cool
That shot of the empty Wata booth had me snort laugh.
SUBSCRIBE and let me know which convention I should attend
Nice to see you again Riggs! My wife and I played your game that we bought from u at MGC today. Fun NES stuff my man!
Love to hear it. Thank you for stopping by!
I'm always impressed that people such as you take some of your time to film these events. Huge thanks!
This genius who converted all of these consoles into portables is an absolute legend. Someone get this man a 7 figure salary job. Incredible work. 🤘
What a nice surprise to see my Cyber Blade NES game shown in there! This was a great video, and I'm glad you had fun!
The projection pop up book game is something I would have expected from Nintendo. Very imaginative I must say
Thanks, John. Makes me feel like I'm there with you! Great stuff!!
5:30 That's me DJing on the stage. I'm thrilled that you not only liked it, but noticed it was from Quartet! Thanks for putting it in the video!
These videos are really entertaining, thanks for the great content
10:03 I made it into your video! Always nice to chat with you and chatting with you in person is even better. This video shows me why you really like coming back to this con in particular. Love you John!
It was nice meeting you and I'm glad I got to collect your street pass mii! You must've been not even 10 feet to my right during that wrestling match lol, crazy seeing that battle Royale without any pads on the outer part of the ring.
LOLed when you showed the WATA booth. Great video, hope to make it out to the event one of these years!
Shame they were allowed in
@@packers12to80 Seriously. I wish everyone in retrogaming would agree to boycott them. Vinyl collector's have done great for years assessing the value of their records without the "help" of d-bags like WATA. There is absolutely no reason why gamers can't do the same for collectible games. We don't need to treat old video games like freakin' baseball cards. Am I right?
As always, a pleasure to see you and spend time with you, my friend. MGC is the best!
IT really is.
I'm glad I watched this because half of the stuff you filmed wasn't there when I showed up on Sunday!
Kelsey in the thumbail and her whole screen time is 5 seconds. Gotta love the nerd thirst bait.
It's one of a few Thumbnails I have in rotation for a couple weeks. If you got the Kelsey thumbnail, congrats!
I think people clicked just to see if she was robbing the place, wearing a mask and all.
I love the comedy with that Famicom game "This game is called Super Chinese. That's.." -camera cut
That Final Fantasy III custom SNES Controller at 33:22 :O Woahhh~ Epic and majestic, I say!
I came a little late to the event (Saturday 1pm) and some of the items at vendors were so overpriced even compared to pricecharting. Most of them were firm on their prices too even if I said I'd purchase multiple things. A shame really I was hoping to spend 1-2 grand but I got put off so badly.
Yep, just gotta shop around.
I had a few vendors explicitly say they'd cut me a deal if I bought multiples before I even asked. I guess it just comes down to where you go.
Very cool to see all the nes Dev stuff here as well as so many familiar faces. Super fun weekend. Cool to see it though your eyes here.
Man everything was great but those portable systems from the beginning were the best. You guys in those states are blessed you've got all those retro stores and conventions. Around here we had GameCraze but they shutdown 4 years ago and we only have records fairs which I'm not into. Thank you for showing your adventures at the convention for us that can't go. Good showing and cool video John!👉😃👈
Drinking beer with you and Hancock is just good, clean fun! 10/10 will do it again buddy! Honored to "cheers" them beers with you both on video! 🎉
Always cool to see you!
My family and I had a great time! I can't wait to go again next year. What an amazing experience!
Kenosha Wisconsin
It was a great con. Glad to have crossed paths with you.
Dang, I missed Yeah Yeah Beebiss II on Dreamcast! Hopefully I can pick that up next year if you bring it again. Cheers
Fun seeing you this year!
1st off...love those Dunks!
2nd...nice 'temple of doom' reference!
The convention looked amazing. Great vibe, lovely atmosphere. I saw many games I need. The Famicom disc special edition game was a suoer cool thing to see (a cassette soundtrack...wow).
Sorry I missed it, but I hope to make it next year.
Great vid as always!
It was an amazing event! Thank you for telling me and my sister the Princess Tomato story. It's one of my favorites of all time. Dude, Beebis 2 is challenging! I'm determined to beat it.
I used to make fun of retro gamers ...but your winning personality...intelligence and wit got me won over ...I salute you john ..keep up the good work
I was the girl at 27:50 it was awesome meeting you! Hope to see you next year MGC I'll have more fun family computer disk system games to show!
I didn't even know that existed! If I saw it I would've bought it, too.
I was in the vendor hall and still missed your table. Oak Barrel has some of the best cheese curds. Next year if you’re around if I am at MGC I’ll buy you a drink at Oak Barrel. Great video.
hey john! it was awesome to see you at the convention. keep making awesome content!
I want that projection pop up book. That will attract everyone at the house party.
Cool seeing the vendors🔥
convention videos are my favorites
Looks like you had a great time! And its crazy to see a can of Blakes Hard Cider (the Mule de Pomme) in your video. I actually work for Blakes here in Michigan. We make and can all of our hard ciders right here on the farm.
Wow! We need something on this magnitude here in Seattle. Loved the double take on the WATA booth 😂, did everyone with the company finally get arrested?
Fun video man, and great turnaround time!
Just rapid-fire, staccato shooting for quick and easy edit when I get back.
This convention kicked ass! Nice to meet you John. Take it easy brother.
The pop up book game is... a stroke of genius!
That Macho Man jacket was awesome, I think it would be awesome if they had at least the cream of the crop promo shirt.
A John Riggs jacket like that one be awesome too. Ohhh Yeeaahh
Man, so much COOL STUFF!!
bruh the "put it right over your face" was so mean lol
That was horrible
I wanted to attend this year from Michigan but I didn't make it. It looks so fun! Maybe next year.
How're ya feelin', ya got the IMMORTAL John Hancock there...
It's funny I literally saw ya at MGC and was gonna say hi, but I couldn't remember if it was Briggs or Riggs so I kinda got too embarrassed to say anything. Regardless, it's really cool to see ya having such a great time (way better than I had tbh) at this wonder convention!
12:55 I see Gaming off the Grid!
The oversized carts vendor was me. Riggs was cool.
Omg let's get this guy funded I want to buy that pop up gamd book that's so freaking different and cool.
17:25 Ranma is now on Blu-ray, y'know. I watched it all on DVD, though - TV series, movies, and OVA
Great silent Wata scene.
Really thinking I need to skip trying to make it out to PRGE and go to MGC.
YES
If you can!
That pop up book was so impressive.
Spent so much there, so many cool things! Great show, people need to make this one huge. On second thought dont. I want all the stuff. Thats us at 13:52
Shout out to WINDARIA! One of the first anime I ever saw, and I was not ready for the more “adult” animated story, I remember being kinda depressed after watching it lol
Hey John, I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I just caught a glimpse of the back of you when you were leaving the youtuber panel. Maybe next year! :)
Love these videos
9:27What company was selling the oversized games at 9:27min into the video. I think it said C&C gaming. I can't find them online. Thanks for saying that you would not buy before the show started and leave the stuff for the people who paid their tickets. More people need to do that. The vendors usually buy everything between themselves before people show up.
I'm looking for them too!
hmmm, she reminds me of someone from the u-district. a neat little gamestore. most of my games come from down the street from an old place called 2nd time around.😮
Pretty sure NM means Near Mint, rather than No Manual.
I'd expect that to include the manual.
Guntner game looks really good from that short clip, I'm going to look into that one.
Also that playable projection story book, I've seen a Kickstarter for similar thing you throw up on your wall and play around the furniture.
Very interesting, look forward to seeing what comes of that
21:40 BURN 😂
We know you didn't mean it like that 😅
That was horrible
12:10 Atari 2600 Out of Control (Nice!)
If the box for the sand game is numbered, should of went for those. good video.
wow the projection book is soo cool
I think the most glorious item at the convention was that He-Man shirt. haha. I will take 20.
Always great stuff John and John I admit just dawned on me if you mix both of your last names together you got riggedcock… you’re welcome keep up the good work gents
21:55 - literally lol
Great video, I remember meeting you at the 2021 MGC.
Actually the vendor area was smaller than last year as the vendor hall which was on the first floor in 2022 spilled out into the hallways. Still way more to look at...seems I have an easier time hunting at smaller conventions.
They got top gun in that bin ur favorite and mine
Man I wish I could have made it to this. Right in my home town and only about 1hr 30mins from where I live now. hope next time I can make it.
i desperately wanted to go to this, this year. alas, vehicle problems said "no you aint" to me. hopefully next year.
sorry to hear but these things happen.
John ! I was so happy to see you bust that nintendo 3ds out ! Its such an awesome system, im so sad nintendo killed the e shop 😢 people need to keep busting them out in public and playing them. Much love from South Mississippi dude ❤
I really enjoy your vlogs dude! I’ve only ever been to one convention but I hope to get out to this one and others on the west coast. Was that Try from My Life in Gaming playing the game boy “macro”? 😂
It was!
John Riggs At The Convention/Expo What A Life
WTF!!!!! I WAS TOLD THIS WAS CANCELED I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED IT!!!!😡🤬😈👹👺
Not sure where you heard that. All social media and all that never said anything about that.
@@JohnRiggsThere was quite a few people on social media pushing the cancellation on April 1st.😉The majority being retro gamers believe it or not... Was just playing into it as if I was fooled. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHANEL Mr. RIGGZY🤘
I was going to attend this convention but passed. I can see now that was a mistake.
Just missing some tumbleweeds at Wata booth 😂
The story book game is insaneeeeeeeee
I am from poland and I like Listen and sometimes watching yours video I study english and I often using english language yours video is very incredible ;) Of course I subscibe your channel :D give me more new video hehe :)
That's the biggest honor and compliment I can receive is someone using my speech to help learn English. Thank you!
11:45 reminds me of the Star Trek holodeck.
The W in Wata looks like a Wario mustache🤔🙂
I feel like last year had more Vendors then this year or maybe because they moved the vendors from the first floor to the 3rd floor....
I think so. That 2nd room off to the side, barely anyone knew it was there.
@@JohnRiggs very true John...and actually I was right next to you at a table lol but didn't wanna be a bother but im sure if I see you next year or at the Bloomington Convention I will say hello...always great to meet other RUclips Gamers....
Another fun one thanks John will I be seeing you at socal gaming expo???
Once again I wasn't able to go. Money is the issue. Next year for sure!
Awesome video!
I Notticed I have 3 Reggies in my Streetpass Lobby,but I dont think its the "Real" Reggie lool
Lol that midget wrestling event
6:37 - "I might have murdered several CDX's making..."
dude must have that kind of income to be doing that
He probably did it 10+ years ago when they weren't so outrageously expensive
they are just paper weights anyway
Free beer!
John do you have any info on the backpacks at 16:56?
10:07 lol
Can't say geniswich doesn't cause geniswich does
Hey John I have an actraiser 2 for super Famicom I bought at MGC but it doesn't work at all. It looks like a bad spill job. Do you take submissions for open cart surgery and do you send the game back if I pay?
as needed, for sure.
@@JohnRiggs would it be possible to send this one to you? I would like to get it working but ive got no idea where to look for help
pocketsaurus for the famicom is a great game!
Buy all the 5 dollar games john u should
👍👍👍👍👍
21:38-21:43

Looks like you went to the Hobby Lobby convention
Hey dude are you coming back to the Southeast Game Exchange?
Not this year. I was there the last couple of years.
