    I want a Johnny & Rob let's play series. I don't care much for let's players on youtube, but you guys are already fun to listen and watch so that sounds like a really great idea.

    • @HappyConsoleGamer
      @HappyConsoleGamer  Před 10 lety +51

      I think if we ever did it would be great classic games we love only!

      That is what I expect and want from you guys.
      That way the personal experience and knowledge of the game will reflect in the let's play. Too many let's players do it blind or don't offer any tips or... what I'm trying to say is there is no value to be found in most let's plays.

    • @HappyConsoleGamer
      @HappyConsoleGamer  Před 10 lety +31

      ripoutyourprejudice very cool! the last thing I would want is for this to be a stereotypical "lets play" channel, maybe we would do them during the week every once in a while :)

      Do it! I would love to see a let's play from you guys!

      @bobsagetluvr1 Před 10 lety +4

      ***** I agree. So long as the quality of their normal content doesn't suffer, though, I'd be really happy with extra LP stuff on top.

  • @DeathBivouac
    @DeathBivouac Před 10 lety +4

    Please do a Let's Play series! Of all the reviewer-duos on CZcams, I love watching you two do videos together the most. You guys have the very "real" element that doesn't feel manufactured like other folks; your long-lasting friendship that was founded on video games and has stood the test of time really makes your channel special. Your stories really take me back to the early 90s and the nostalgia is genuine. Keep it up, you guys are awesome!

  • @FunkyPertwee
    @FunkyPertwee Před 10 lety +2

    Nice!
    I had the oppurtunity to purchase about 35 LNIB boxed NES games from Babbages back in like 1998, but my broke ass teenage self couldn't afford more than four of them at their price of $14.99 for most of them. I remember seeing Mega Man 1-6 all lined up in their excellent condition boxes for less than $20 each.
    Those were the days.

  • @nintenjoel

    5:53 rofl that's a cool guy right there. I used to sneak into the principal's office when I was in middle school, and look at files in her office. I didn't do anything bad, one time I saw a draft for our examination papers submitted for her review, but I didn't look at it because I didn't want to cheat the exams.

    The covers of the Ninja Gaiden games were always so damn cool looking to me as a kid, was hard to not wanna pick it up and play the hell out of them.
    Also man....the new Strider....holy hell is that amazing 0__0

  • @rahjeel
    @rahjeel Před 10 lety +3

    Oh man. I love your stories. Both of you are the most awesome collectors I've ever seen. You value the memories more than the tangibility of the games(price, condition,etc.). I despise some collectors who are too hardcore and forgot the joy of collecting awesome trinkets and such stuff.

Thanks guys u have made my day ordering the game online right this minute

  • @thephantom496
    @thephantom496 Před 8 lety +4

    I actually have kind of a fun memory with Willow. I was in the kitchen when my sister came in and I said "which finger holds the power to control the universe?" But then my hand got squashed in the fork box, so I screamed, and then my sister said "Well, not that finger"!

    I played chip n dale every day when i was like 4 and 5 years old and i honestly forgot about it over the years and recently on my xbox one browsing games i seen Disney afternoon collection that has a few games and checked the screen shots to see what games are on the collection and seen the pic of game play it instantly brought back all these memories as a child its crazy that things can be deep in your mind and a picture or sound can bring them back from decades before i bought it of course and love it

  • @SuperHighTechGamer

  • @Lohreck
    @Lohreck Před 10 lety

    Another great episode. I like when u guys talk about your old memories with video games, so some Let's plays would be awesome.
    This episode even nearly made me start to expand my collection to the NES :) (never got one and now it can get petty expensive - I'd only go for CIB games as for my other collections)

  • @SirCaco
    @SirCaco Před 10 lety

    I know the feeling, Rob! Finishing a game without dying and thinking "yeah this will never happen again." You did that with Kid Icarus; my game was Gun.Smoke. Finished the game without dying once (did lose some horses though) and the amazing part is that back then I didn't know you could press A and B together to shoot straight!!!

    I'm a Master System guy, who went round to my friends house and played nes/snes and borrowed friends commodore's and spectrums (live in UK, Herefordshire) . The games were good I think because they either made you think, blew sht up or were jst fun fun fun ... great days.
    Would totally love to 'come round yr house' and play all those games, and the ones behind you, right through non-stop, all day!!

    • @jacobprayer8656
      @jacobprayer8656 Před 8 lety

      I'm afraid that is frowned upon. I went to Johnny's house demanding that he let me in to play video games. He politely asked me who I was. I was infuriated that he didn't know my name. I began to throw rocks at his house and spit on his car. I can't believe that he called the cops on me. What a jerk! He was far from being a "Happy Console Gamer" on that occasion!

  • @MenfisRetroSpace
    @MenfisRetroSpace Před 8 lety +2

    I only buy all my games complete with box. I know that not everybody like to do this since everything its more hard to get and way more expensive, but if is not in original box, really its not for me. (personal opinion) ...Thanks for your show, its been nine years watching your shows.

    Oh, and of course nice collection. I would love to have Dragon Warrior 1-4 boxed in my collection.

    @TooBokoo Před 10 lety

    Touching more on their Batman segment and how Johnny was so blown away by the animation.
    People, more so kids, now days, don't understand how good they have it when it comes to video games. Back then, these NES games blew us away and when the Super Nintendo and later Genesis games came out, it was like a religious experience seeing how some of these game looked, visually. I can still put in some Super Nintendo games and it takes me right back to when I first saw them and I still think the games look amazing, to this day!
    With all of the huge processors, RAM, GPUs, etc... that are available now days, younger kids will just never appreciate what it was like to grow up in the golden age of video games and see all of these visual advancements happen right before us.

  • @dpepinmarquette

  • @00Resev
    @00Resev Před 10 lety

    I did paused the video, and i did searched the Tombs & Treasures review.
    Very nice add-in for this video.

  • @drainedeyes4268
    @drainedeyes4268 Před 5 lety

    I so agree, Sunsoft's Batman nailed Gotham via NES graphics. The way the shadows are cast diagonally on those brick pillars, and just all the ways they expertly used lighting totally sells the noir atmosphere. And as a sprite, Batman, himself, looks fantastic. I've always loved the way they arranged the colors on his costume to make his shape distinguishable, as well as using just enough details to make him appear as the Batman we know, but not cluttered looking at all, not drowned in too much detail. One of the more solid looking games on the NES, for sure. I think a lot of people have found out about it now considering videos like this, and the James and Mike Mondays episode, but it definitely deserves more recognition as one of the better, or best, on the system.
    Also, I know this is an older video, but Sh'Neal is such a fucking legend. He's out there somewhere, rearranging patio furniture and decorating lawn gnomes with Hawaiian apparel, to this day.

  • @FinalBaton
    @FinalBaton Před 7 lety

    Faxanadu is great! it's a minor classic in my book. I had this game as a kid so I'm very nostalgic towards it. But I also think it's a fun experience.
    The atmosphere in particular (with the somber, slightly alienating color palette and the music that at times is epic, and at other times eerie and menacing) makes for a very unique action RPG. Getting new weapons and armor (which you would see equiped on your sprite) is so satisfying and badass.
    I reccomend it, give it a chance and learn how to manage the different keys and items, and it will become a very rewarding experience.

  • @Jordan3DS
    @Jordan3DS Před 3 lety

    The thing about Hydlide is that it was basically the pioneer for the entire action RPG genre that would evolve into games like Zelda and Ys a few years later. The problem was that it was an early 80s game that was revolutionary in its time being ported to the NES in the late 80s when the games that it had inspired had already released.

  • @VictoriaStobbie
    @VictoriaStobbie Před 10 lety

    When I saw that Ninja and before you said the name, nor have I even played the original NES games of the series, I was already nodding my head in approval, I too eve though as a late 90s to 00s gamer, know of the frustrating fun of Ninja Gaiden...

  • @SirenoftheVoid
    @SirenoftheVoid Před 10 lety

    "If you don't know the frustration&exhilaration of Ninja Gaiden,you're watching the wrong channel!" Right on! haha
    That was sweet.Always love your enthusiasm,it keeps me coming back :) Btw,i couldn't help but notice...no Metroid.
    You guys bring back the stories or mention it from time to time,and you do not have the boxed game.I'm perplexed.Or did you talk about it before...i forget.

  • @sepuljoe06
    @sepuljoe06 Před 7 lety

    Man. I was born in 1988, first game I beat was Metroid, second Bionic Commando, third Crystalis. This video caused so much nostalgia. Still have the old carts, not the boxes though sadly...

      @inamoratasamazing Před 9 lety

      inamoratasamazing Though never got the box for the first legend of zelda. Found a working cart for it at a local used game store back in 2006 though. Man I played the hell out of that game. Too bad Zelda games these days want to hold your hand so much, it felt great to be lost and progressing through the game by exploring instead of being babied the whole way through like I couldn't puzzle solve...

    Loved Faxanadu! I actually beat it! It had a password system and I remember writing down every single password in my notebook. I borrowed it from my cousin and wish I had just taken in from him since I don't think he really liked it. If I look hard enough I might find that notebook with all the passwords.
