After all those years spent watching others play Game Boy, now you get thousands of people watching you play it. Kid you would be so proud.
I guess so!
I love your humor. I can just imagine what your neighbors think when you shoot these outdoor/street scenes and it makes me laugh.
“You don’t deserve to Donkey Kong” is now a household phrase in my house. Glad to see it make an appearance! 😂
“Trust me weaponizing things I love is not a battle you wanna start with me” *banana attack*
My favourite thing now is exploring all of the titles I couldn’t afford as a kid. I’m in my 40s now so I really grew up in the 90s which meant 8 and 16 bit era. I love taking things slow, and picking a random title to play for a weekend. I treat it like my own personal rental store. Fridays before supper I read the game manual, and once the little ones go to bed I plug in for a bit :)
Yeah rental store were awesome. So were game manuals.
Dude there is nothing like reading the instruction booklet before you play the game. I still do it for my GameCube games.
Awesome approach to gaming man!
I completely get everything in this comment...
That's what I want to do too, play all of the games I would've liked as a kid that I didn't get to play back then. But for me it would be mainly 2000s games like PS2 games (I had a PS2 as a kid but didn't have many games for it)
I was gonna write a comment about how you don't deserve to Donkey Kong but you were already two steps ahead of me. Some days I'll just be living my life and that line just floats into my head. "You don't deserve to Donkey Kong."
Glad to hear that!
Strangley enough, its your last comment on how Nostalgia supports our adult minds that really hit me hard in this one.
Honestly i would be a really misrable old fart if i didnt have my nostalgia. Especially for my Sega Genesis among others.
This video is going on repeat. This is comfort food and a reminder why im still in this hobby 30+ years on now.
Glad you liked it!
That banana throw wrecked me, lol. I'm still giggling at that
this guy owns friday night. the perfect replacement for blockbuster/hollywood video
"Can I have a turn? Yes I can." Very good. A+
Did u just brain a child with an N64 coy😢
Controller.... What kind of weight autocorrect
this gave me nostalgia for the first time you said "you don't deserve to donkey kong"
Babe, wake up, retro bird has uploaded a new video.
You throwing stuff against your fence is just the best! 😂😂😂😂😂
7:53 dude, same thing. Everything you said. All my friends had an N64 too, and almost nobody I knew had a PS1. It was weird, looking back at it now.
Yeah, I've heard others say this too.
Gameboy (pocket) and N64 for me. The gameboy was the first gaming console I ever owned, and the N64 I received not too long after. A beautiful moment in time for this 90's kid.
I remember the time when I remembered how much I loved the 16-bit era. What a time to be alive 😊😊😊
Final Fantasy IV and VI, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, Link to the Past, etc. So many greats.
@@eatthewoke5170 mortal kombat bro...
The condition of the items in your collection reflects the time/care you've put in to acquiring them. Well done Bird 👏
Another awesome video! Also the "you don't deserve the Donkey Kong" cracked me up again 😂
Your banana jokes were in top form this episode.
I definitely do have a lot of nostalgia for the games I grew up with. It may be one of the reasons why I often go back to just playing classic games with the switch online instead of playing the new games that I have for the switch. Although that might also have to do with the fact that I'm familiar with those classic games and feel like I just have more time to play them compared to other games because I just don't find them as time-consuming as the new stuff. As an adult I just have a busy work life and I just don't feel like I have much time to play the new games that have so much jam-packed into them. It's not that I don't play any new games I definitely enjoy new games, it's just the old and familiar is just easier to get back into when I have a busy schedule
I was the same with N64. I was around 8 when it came out and I think every gamer kid in my class went from SNES/Gensis to N64. I didn't even know Playstation 1 was the winner of the generation til I was in high school! I played MGS and Castlevania: SOTN on PS3 PSOne classics. And was like "oh, this is insane, way better than N64". But I still love the differences between each system back then, every console felt unique and had its own strengths.
Personally rather more than having nostalgia by the consoles, I get more nostalgic by the graphics in some games (mostly indies).
Most of the time I get super nostalgic when I play a 3D game with polygonal graphics ala N64/PS1 but it's kind of like if I'm playing a game that I missed on those consoles. 😂
My Nostalgia runs huge during December. My parents were against video games so i knew each Christmas was not going to be waking up happy. All i wanted as a kid was my own console & i knew that wasn't going to happen. So Christmas for me was not that huge. So during my Christmas Breaks growing up i hung out at all my friends house who had there own home console! Playing the NES the whole month of December which really consisted of one game, Castlevania. That is my Nostalgic game: the original Castlevania on the NES.
I'm nostalgic for PS1 and N64 and Gameboy color mostly as a kid playing games with friends but also the dreamcast and GameCube as I got older going to cousins house and playing PSO and double dash
I have a lot of nostalgia for Sonic even though I never had a Genesis. Just would play it here and there at friends house. But I did watch the cartoon.
I got my Game Boy in 1990. Never had the pocket or light or the others until the Game Boy Advance SP.
This reminds me back in the 80's that I found out one of my good friends from school had been living in the house behind me and I never knew it. All of our backyards were fenced in. Found out after we got a slide playset thing built and I was on top and saw him over the fence in his backyard one day.
The console I feel most nostalgic for is the ps2. I remember the first time I played games on it. Rotating the camera was such a trip for my child brain, and I remember playing ps1 games on it like spyro, and just spending hours listening to the autumn plains theme. My dad had a arcade game collection on it, and I remember playing gauntlet with him. It's one of the few memories I have of my dad after my mom divorced him, and moved out of state.
I would say nostalgia is good thing. like a warm comfy blanket it protects me from the coldness of the outside world.
No.1 for me easily goes to the NES. Playing Castlevania and Mario/ duck hunt at my uncle’s house before we got our own NES are core memories for me.
And much like your SoR story, I was convinced for YEARS that my memories of playing Monster Party as a kid were just a wild fever dream. But no, the game is actually just as strange as I remembered it.
I'm 90's kid (nostalgic term for old geezer nowadays) from Poland, so after fall of communism we had limited access to western consoles. Most of kids had this cheap south-asian NES ripoffs (which was great for us at that time) but I will never forget the feeling when I was visiting my friend's older cousin and he had PS1. I was astonished by the capabilities of this magnificent magic box. Imagine actually skipping one generation of consoles (SNES, Genesis) and jumping from Mario Bros. straight to Crash Bandicoot! And those shiny, rainbowy CDs instead of cheap plastic dusty cartridges? It was some Star Trek stuff for us at that time.
Although my all time favourite console would be PS2 or PS3, I still have enormous amounts of nostalgia towards PS1.
Just old geezer's thing 🥲
5:34 “you don’t deserve to Donkey Kong” I don’t know if you realize how close to home this feels and how hilarious it is at the same time. Bravo on the video again.
6:35 - I know this feeling. My neighbor barely let me play his Genesis. To be honest, it never healed and I remember the games I wasn't allowed to play to this day. Why did you brought this up?? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS RETRO BIRD. THERAPY IS EXPENS... Oh, nice video as always!
Why does "You don't deserve to Donkey Kong" sounds so much like that guy from the Home Alone TV who went, "Ya Filthy Animals" I can't break the association.
I still have a lot of nostalgia for the Atari 2600. So many fun games.
My most nostalgic consoles are NES, Genesis, Coleco, Odyssey 2, and Atari 2600. Also have a lot of nostaligia for retro computers like Apple II, Amiga, and IBM PC. Had an SNES and Saturn too but I'm not nostalgic for those. I didn't get anything else after that, only PC's..
I now have nes & genesis systems only(born in 83), but regarding Nostalgia, man.. n64 is it. I think it was the 8th grade thru high school time period, friends, new tech, late 90s magic! Bk then, it wasn't "early primitive 3d grafics, it was simply "new, current & exciting". Games like 1080 with all that drum & bass in the soundtrack.. come on now!!!
Sega Mega Drive Will forever be my fist true love❤️ It was like having an arcade machine at home and later it was my trusty back up, when my Windows 95 PC gave me the fourth or fifth BSOD within 10 minutes😅 I also have the first gen Gameboy, SNES, PlayStation 1 and 2 as well as the N64 and Dreamcast and a PS3 to round things off, but the old Sega Mega Drive is still the the first one😊
For me, the most nostalgic ones are: 1. NES, as it was my first one, 2. SNES, as it was the tournaments one (Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mario Kart, Killer Instinct etc.) and 3. Dreamcast, for the same reason (Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, etc.).
My personal nostalgia spot would be the Atari 2600, the NES, the SNES, and the Genesis. Past that, while I absolutely love the N64, Saturn, and Playstation, they'll never have that sweet, comfy blanket feel the older consoles have to me.
Definitely most nostalgic for the SNES. It was the first console I bought for myself. I was only 10, but I lucked out and got a gig as an extra on the Highlander TV show when they were filming an episode in my home town. I used the money from that day and some savings from when I managed to not blow my entire allowance on candy to buy a used SNES. Best decision ever.
Also have a lot of nostalgia for the PSX. I'd upgraded to delivering newspapers by that time so I bought it myself as well. I was originally going to buy an N64, but between delays, FF7 coming to Playstation, and renting one and playing Resident Evil, I changed my mind. N64 was cool, but I think I made the right decision. I especially loved the OPM demo disks. Good times, man.
The consoles I have the most nostalgia for are the ones my brother and I had growing up (Genesis, Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, PS1, and GBA), along with a few that we didn’t have but played quite a bit with friends (Game Boy Color, N64, GameCube, and the OG Xbox). I had one single friend who had a Dreamcast and I always wanted to play it more but only got the chance once or twice. Still feel a lot of nostalgia for it, though.
And even though I love consoles like the SNES and Turbo Grafx-16 now, I don’t have the same nostalgia for them because I just never really played them growing up.
All that to say, I think I have a ton of nostalgia for the games/consoles I played even just a little bit compared to the ones I didn’t play or even know about
I’m one of those weird people who has nostalgia for the TurboGrafx 16. Had one as a kid and traded it and 10-15 games in for a SNES with one game. I finally just acquired a TG-16 again and am working on rebuilding the collection.
I knew more people that owned a Nintendo 64 than PS1 growing up myself, but when looking at regional sales figures it isn't too surprising:
PS1- Worldwide 102 million, North America 40 million
N64 - Worldwide 32 million, North America 20 million
It was the rest of the world where the N64 sold comparatively poorly. Heck, in Japan, even the Saturn outsold it. And yeah, being beaten in one region 2:1 isn't small by any means; but with how spread out geographically people are in the continent, there could easily be areas where the PS1 was relatively scarce. For myself, perhaps growing up near the Nintendo of America & Microsoft headquarters is why I knew so many people with a N64/GameCube/Xbox.
Yeah, I've thought about this. It was still outsold 2 to 1 in the US. So, it feels weird I didn't know anyone who had one. Even the older people I ran across with video games didn't have it.
I've owned almost every game console from the Atari VCS in 1977 to the PS3. My nostalgia is therefore quite vast AND quite costly!
My top 5 nostalgic consoles are NES, SNES, N64, GB, and GBC. Nintendo sure knew how to make one's childhood glow like the sun!
Great video as always RB!
NES and early PC games from that same era. There are many who favor the NES, but early 90's PC games don't get much nostalgia love. Maybe because it's so hard to get them running, and they are pretty obtuse, but I still get pumped when I see SimCity or Civ boot up!
I just recently discovered and downloaded Rocket Knight Adventures on my Genesis emulator and I love it. I dunno how I missed this game growing up.
Ah, nothing quite like discussing great Genesis games with the music from Mario Kart 64 playing softly in the background. Yeah, I saw what you did there.
I lol'ed both times you threw the banana at the fence. Thanks for the chuckle.
Great vid! Always have the nostalgia bubbles for NES. So many consoles I picked up and played a lot later in life. You introduced me to Rocket Knight 😂
My wife would say that my nostalgia has been weaponized against our bank account. 😂 😟
Don’t feel bad. All of my Game Boy experience was also watching other, cooler kids play theirs 🤣
Maybe one day, I’ll finally have one of my own..
I have nostalgia for basically any/all consoles I owned since I was a kid, but the one I have the most nostalgia for wasn't a console at all... but it almost should have been because of the quantity of games made for it... the Commodore 64. I still play C-64 games to this day... emulated... but I do also still own my original system. That computer was a treasure trove of fun and it will possibly forever be my favorite.
I really admire your channel, particularly for its consistency. I don’t understand how you don’t have sponsors yet! Come on, where’s the Chiquita sponsorship already?
I swear I lived in that same bubble. Everyone I knew had an N64, and I only got a PS1 because I found out I could play burned games on it!
And we got serious miles out of those consoles, running them till they overheated lol
WOW Great video funny guy i could really relate to the part about having more nostalgia for the things you didn't have. For me most all the consoles are new. I had a regular nintendo, game boy, game gear, sega and ps1 and a handful of games for each console. And I'm grateful I had any but the super Nintendo was the one I really wanted, the trees on zelda were mesmorizing to me when i watched older kids play and the super mario world game the little bit i did get to play was an amazing experience... so for me it's the "i get to now" kind of feeling and I'm really really grateful, lots of fun. Great video thanks
I had a vhs tape that was a promotional movie for the N64. Watched it every day of my life until launch. My parents got me a ps1… which ended up having some of my favorite games on it anyway. Then I wanted a ps2 and got a Xbox instead, which halo blew my mind as a young teen .
One of the strangest things about getting older are the many stages, levels and types of nostalgia you eventually experience. And the ability to even predict which things you’re presently experiencing you know you’ll feel nostalgic for later in life. Like you said, when you’re a kid and everything is new and exciting, not only are you too young to experience it, but the concept is unknowable so you never even consider it until it happens. I’m old enough now to know that at some point your channel and this very video will give me that nostalgic sensation. I remember watching old AVGN videos and thinking about how weird it was to fell nostalgic for those! That really made me feel old.
I’d say for many it first hits the hardest in the mid to late 20’s. Some experience it sooner and at different intensities & intervals. But the true experience of nostalgia sets in around a time where you’ve been away from college long enough to miss fun, notice the lack freedom fatigue and have been assimilated into the workforce long enough to truly realize how much longer you’ll have to endure it. While simultaneously realizing how fucking horrible being an adult really is. You don’t just miss the simpler times but start longing for them more regularly.
Sadly, these compartmentalized periods of your life just keep stacking up compounding the nostalgia. All those memories and fondness you have for your childhood, the 80’s, the 90’s, teenage years/high school, different interests, music and phases, college, early 30’s… Man, I can’t wait to experience 40’s nostalgia! 😟 😔
Oh, I love experiencing something as an adult that I know I'll remember forever. That's the one thing about being a kid that's different. You're more likely to take it for granted at that young of an age :)
Yeah, when we were kids we didn’t have a concept of nostalgia, also had less things to distract us (such as cell phones and tablets etc) so we were more ‘present’ ie ‘living in the moment’ and so this heightened state of fun we were in caused the nostalgia (the good memories) to be extra potent! (Just a theory I thought of, but it seems quite plausible)!
@@Wil_Dsense absolutely. that’s definitely a big part of it. Pure, unapologetic joy leaves a mark. Distractions and responsibilities clouding our minds prevent us from just enjoying ourselves. Bird has even covered this concept of feeling guilty about having fun. It’s 100% true tho. We all start punishing ourselves in one way or another for having fun or thinking about doing something fun.
I feel bad that they wouldn't let you have a turn with their Gameboy as a kid. I also faced that problem too when I was a young kid. I experienced that a lot with kids I was friends on the street. These kids were vastly different than high school friends.
I remember when they played Super Mario Bros 2. This was a game I really liked as a kid, wanted to play it & they would never let me play it. Also I had friends where I was watching them play games the whole day because they wouldn't let me play. Other times it was like oh we're playing board games today or they would play Sim City on their computer at the time. I was watching the whole.
Then I wasn't friends with them anymore. I started hanging out with high school friends who were a lot nicer & considerate.
I sold my Sega Genesis for a Super Nintendo so I kind of got to experience them both, but I never owned a N64. Only got to play it at friends houses which was a blast
Classic gaming in general gives me some nostalgia vibes. Unfortunately, my gaming abilities are waning as I'm starting my 50's and that makes me sad. On the bright side , my son will eventually get my entire gaming collectiong going back to the C64 and atari 2600 up to most modern gaming systems so if I have grandkids in the future they will get to play all the classics on original hardware while I cheer them on.
Gameboy pocket was my system of choice as a kid and Pokemon Red/Blue was my favorite game by a lot. Finally got a ps1 well after its release. GBA was huge for me too. Handheld games were where it was at for me 😊
Im old enough nostalgia is the hoop and stick just about. The pong we had didnt even have options for anything but pong, hockey or jai alai. No making the paddles bigger or smaller, or any of that new fangled stuff. While in the navy i did buy a turbo express which i never got back, a sega genesis, and snes, and game gear. If i want to revisit a game like say silent hill, ill just watch a youtuber play through it now. Kinda more fun than going through it myself.
NEO GEO 4 LIFE!!! It was the system I never had as kid. But I collect for now as an adult.
Nothin like crackin open a nanner and poppin in a fresh retrobird joint
Rocket Knight Adventures for life!!!!!!!!!!!!
The PlayStation 3 for me so many good games and good memories, and that part about asking to play Gameboys I had a similar thing happened to me when I asked to try new super Mario Bros and they said no so went out with my parents and bought my own copy that evening after school!
I had an older cousin with a Genesis and Mortal Kombat. Have some memories of asking him to do the blood code for me and getting a thrill of seeing pixelated red stuff for the first time... Fun times. Think I was 5 then.
Peak nostalgia for me is probably the N64 and PS1, and specifically going on GameFAQs every day for walkthroughs and secrets back when GameFAQs was the hot thing.
I wonder if Bird's neighbors had actually watched him doing wacky things on the street.
As for nostalgia games Right now I'm playing Final Fantasy IX but on the Switch Lite.
And late December I was playing Super Mario RPG Remake. Awesome game!
I still got great memories of playing it on the original SNES (My favorite console ever) over the years.
Ahhh yes, a freshly released Retrobird video after the Mavs beat the Clippers 😌
It's Friday 🎉
I may not deserve to Donkey Kong but i do deserve to Double Dragon all while eating a banana🐉🐉🍌😎👍👍
N64 for me sail play it to this day
Multiplayer memories of goldeneye, Mario kart and no mercy
Your videos make me 😀
You know what is weird?
I am 30 now but I'm already nostalgic to my early Switch games when I bought the console in 2019. Super Mario Odyssey, Arms and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. The Switch is my first console I bought and because of the Pandemic those first games helped me to not go insane when everyone was stuck at home.
Yeah, you can feel nostalgia for something that recent. I think it can happen for anything that's new or a first time. It's mostly associated with childhood because so many things are new back then.
I feel nostalgia for trying VR for the first time, which was in 2018 or 2019, so similar timeframe. And it also helped me not go insane during the pandemic!
Thanks bud pulled long shift and this and nanners is perfect to relax with
7:41 me playing Ocarina of time when it came out “wow, there’s no way graphics can get better than this” 🤣😅
I grew up a little later with the PS3 and 3DS, but I still have nostalgia for those too. It's interesting, when I was younger I didn't know anybody with a console, everyone I met had a PC (even at the age of 7 or 8). I think I knew one other person who had a 3DS.
@@liamloxley1222 I was a 2000s kid and played both consoles and PC growing up. We had a family computer on Windows XP that I would often play games on, but I also had a PS1, then a PS2 a few years later, then a Wii during my high school years in the early 2010s. And for portables I had a GBA first, then a DS during my middle school years and a 3DS during my high school years.
My PS3 gets a lot of nostalgia. My early adult life absolutely loved playing the new COD's and Assassin's Creeds. Another for me was the Saturn. Didn't have a lot of games, but I did have Mega Man X4 and I loved playing it and still do.
I'm oddly nostalgic for the snes despite not having access to it as a kid. I had a second hand genesis.
I didn't know what Rocket Knight Adventures was until I you started talking about it in your vids. Console I am most Nostalgic for would be the Sega Genesis. I remember this was the console where I was socializing a lot with my high school friends. Playing games like NHL 93-96, Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat, Street fighter 2 & many other games. The Socializing with couch coop or vs was a thing I used to do every Friday at a friend's house back in high school. Now I work & my friends won't hang with me or with the group anymore. Yeah really sad gaming has come to this.
Glad you found out about Rocket Knight through my vids!
Can you get nostalgic for a console you never had? Let me explain: as a child I dreamed of N64 but I couldn't have it due to its high cost. I had to wait 25 years to enjoy the gems of the console catalog, on my notebook with emulator, CRT filters and N64 USB controller. I feel like I implanted memories in my mind (like in the movie "inception") of things I didn't experience as a child but was able to enjoy as an adult. Maybe it's because after the 8 and 16-bit generations I never had another console, I remained a video game "virgin" for 25 years waiting for the long-awaited N64. That's why today the graphics still dazzle me and I prefer them to any modern hyperrealism. They have a unique magic and charm, and I've loved them for so long that I enjoy them more than anything else.
Man, I love your channel and your content. Thank you!
Having not owned consoles after the 16-bit era, when I played N64 for the first time during the Covid pandemic, I did so with the eyes, mind and heart of my 9-year-old self. That's why I say it's like I implanted memories in my childhood self. Sometimes I watch N64 videos or ads from the 90s, and it makes me nostalgic as if I had the console back then and not when I was in my 30s. Very curious. I'm glad I fulfilled that dream.
The Super Nintendo is my most nostalgic console by a long shot - I rented so many games growing up, and the handful of games we had were all really special in their own way - Star Fox, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country...such an iconic line-up of games and so many more I discovered as an adult. It really has an amazingly colorful library of games and hidden gems.
That guidance counselor sounds like the enemy !
For me it's NES, SNES, and PS2. I had a PS1 but I think the fact that some of those games are a little rough to go back to plus that I was going through some not so great times in my life at the time affects why I don't have as much nostalgia for it. Still a classic system for sure.
That DK64 banana sleeve is stupid expensive for what it is. Same with the Mario Party gloves.
I looked up old nintendo product catalogs and you could buy controller sleeves for $3 each at one point. Really wish I had known about them.
What device are u using to play Gameboy on a 64 I have a super gameboy for my SNES but didn't know there was something for the 64.
The transfer pak lets you play Pokemon Red/Blue if you have Pokemon Stadium for N64.
We grew up with the Master System and the NES (Deluxe Set, without SMB). For me, aside from the games I grew up with, the experience of playing it in its original hardware, on a CRT (as I get older I can tolerate the sound the TV emits lol) and the little things as the sounds of fiddling around the drawer for a cartridge and the sound of putting the cartridge in the console. I know there are alternatives such as upscalers that do an admirable job, but for me, the nostalgia comes from the complete experience, and I try my best to replicate it :)
Damn you had 2 systems as a kid? I was only was allowed a Sega Master System. My bro had to share that with me.
I had a Saturn in 1996. That plus Boy Meets World, Hangin with Mr Cooper, and WCW Saturday Night were happy times.
Bro this LITERALLY describes me . All the details and such. Great minds think alike I guess!!!! I'm 40. Much much love from L.A......lower Alabama
Damn. Put this man on the Reds pitching staff.
I have nostalgia for Nintendo 64, GameCube and PlayStation 2.

8:15 - I had the same experience as you. Everyone around me had an N64. I only remember 1 of my friends owning a Playstation where we played THPS2 over and over again but the N64 was our go-to console for multiplayer.
I had a PS1 as a kid but I knew more people who had N64s also.
I'm really nostalgic for arcades!
The video game system I am Nostalgic for are The Sega genesis, Super NES, the N64
,the Sega game gear, the Neo Geo MVS, the Nintendo game cube, the Xbox,and the PS2
I am drawto the Atari 2600,Atari 5200, Sega Master System, TurboGrafx-16, Atari 7800,the Intellivision ,and the ColecoVision
My pizzeria had had four slot neo Geo MVS ,it had busta move mental slug that's all I remembered
I have a mixed view of the NES
No option on the Sega Saturn
Don't care for the OG PlayStation or the gameboy
Ironically I got a homeboy pocket in 1998
I grew up with an Atari 2600, ColecoVision, NES, Game Boy, SNES, and N64. I’ve always been grateful to have been born at the beginning of home consoles and see how video games have evolved over the course of my life.
I'm nostalgic for a lot of gaming related things, even late 90s / early 2000s pc gaming & related hardware. However for consoles I'll always be super nostalgic for the GeniSNES as they collectively were consoles 1 & 2 that I owned, but even more so the N64 due to it being the first console I was exited for before it came out.
It doesn't hurt that I also got to play Mario 64 & Pilot Wings 64 the summer before it came out in North America at Ontario Place (Canadian theme park that had a Nintendo area), thanks to having an "uncle" that worked there so we'd have free entry all summer long.
The PS1 is my most nostalgic game console. There are so many games that I played to death growing up, but there's one PS1 game that has stuck with me nearly my whole life.
My brother got a PS1 for Christmas in 1997. I was 6 years old. My brother only got one game with his PS1, which was Soulblade. (Which was later remade into Soulcalibur. The game also callled Souledge in the US) Soulblade was the first fully 3D game I had ever seen, and it blew me away. I remember watching the opening cinematic over and over again because it was so cool to me. Whenever I get nostalgic for my PS1, I play Soulsblade, and it takes me back to a time when something so simple was the best thing in the world to me.
I highly recommend watching the opening cinematic for Soulblade it perfectly captures the epicness of the game itself and introduces its characters to you in an unforgettable imaginative way.

your experience with the gameboy reminds me a lot of my experience with the ds. during its prime, it felt like everyone else had one and it wasn't until well into the 3ds' lifespan that i finally got a ds of my own (specifically it was a black ds lite that i got for my 12th birthday in 2015)
I am nostalgic for the Atari 2600 and NES. I spent many, many hours playing on my Atari. Back when I first got the 2600, I thought I was in gaming heaven. Now I could have an arcade experience without having to bring a pocketful of quarters. Come to think of it....I am kinda nostalgic for arcades. Funny how that works... As for the NES, it was the console of choice when I got together with my friends. We would play Tecmo Bowl tournaments....fun times!
For me, it'll always be the N64. That was my first console i owned as a kid. But enough time has passed where im nostalgic about the 360 and Wii U. And those times in my life. The 360 was my gaming machine for almost a decade of my life. While the Wii U was my main console when I met my now wife. We played Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D world, Yoshi and more back then. Great times
Being 9 years old and playing the Defense of Hoth level in the Snowspeeder in Shadows of the Empire was incredible. Nothing felt like that at that time.
I emulate everything now so I'm nostalgic for the boot sound of ps2 and gamecube. N64 and gbc were my consoles growing up. N64 was THE multiplayer experience.
