Huge congratulations on getting those Newtype magazines. As a Japanese who grew up in 70s and 80s, I remember there were two prominent anime magazines back in the day. The one was Newtype and the other one was Animage. The Newtype featured robot animes such as Gundam a lot and Animage featured Studio Ghibli a lot. As a huge Studio Ghibli fan, I was in the "Animage crowd". That said seeing those pages still made me feel really nostalgic and definitely felt the "80s to early 90s vibes" that I got from those Animage magazine. Your videos always remind me of my precious moments in life. I cannot thank you enough for that. I know you're still recovering from the illness and everything so please take care of yourself and don't push too hard. Your videos are gems and I will wait forever until you recover your strength.
Story of Seasons is now the branding for the original Harvest Moon series and this is a remake of the GBA title. The still going Harvest Moon name is now used by different Western developers.
I am so glad that Sunday Happy Console Gamer episodes are back. As an older guy who shares a lot of this nostalgia with him, I look forward to episodes like this a ton. Please keep feeding your inner child, Johnny. I just love living vicariously through you.
I love when you get so nostalgic and excited about stuff on these videos. New anime is good but there is nothing like classic anime. Love the video stay safe and stay happy and healthy!
Yea, I was born in 92 so I get the best of both worlds in terms of the mysticism of not knowing everything and discovering a gem, and knowing all releases and having the internet.
Johnny, you are the best gaming channel on TH-cam!! I have been watching you for so many years! You are literally the o my gaming channel I still watch. Your passion is incredible and you can clearly see that everything you talk about means something to you and has a meaning. Congratulations on becoming a father (I became one for the first time last year) You most definitely will have less time for video games but the love you have for this little person is 100x worth it.
awesome pickups. i used to do the same thing with my old magazines. Except with mine, I would cut out the individual characters and create scenes with them on the walls where characters interacted with each other
Phew......Friends of Mineral Town. There's a classic. Golden tools were such the grind to achieve back then. New Type magazines? Wow. I truly was born one decade too late. Lol.
Hearing you talk about the new type magazines and how you got into anime brought back so many memories for me. I’m only 22 but it reminded me of getting the shonen jump magazines and reading chapters upon chapter of manga. Then I realized all of these manga had anime and it blew my mind that I could watch the story I was reading. Just a magical moment and I wanted to say thank you for sharing that. Much love to you, your wife, and your new baby girl!
It just occurred to me that I've been watching Johnny since I was 10 years old (I'm 20 now). One of my favourite shows on the site, thanks for everything!
The way you spoke about SFII really made the memories come flooding back. That game surpassed even my greatest expectations. I know I’ve said it before but that game single handedly destroyed arcades. When you could buy it and play it at your own house for 1000+ hours... eventually that initial investment would end up saving us money in the long run. Wild. Much love Johnny. Hope all is well with you and the fam. 🥂
Thanks for pulling out the Newtype magazines. Those were well produced magazines back in the day. And yes the artwork they featured were great and inspiring.
Newtype!! I used to get that from my local comic shop! I used to love the character designs and stuff that had in them, and I used to do the exact same thing and cut out my favorite pages and post them up on my walls. It was a special time.
I still have all the NewType magazines I had collected. Bought them mostly from a comic shop that carried some import stuff, magazines being one of them. And like this guy, I also went through every inch of the magazine with laser focus detail. I didn't cut the magazines up though, I wasn't that crazy, lol.
I got I think 4 maybe 5 new type mags still somewhere in my closet but I'm so glad I held on to my electronic gaming monthly magazines, got about 6 years of those and still get lost in those pages.
The best thing about the Conan soundtrack is how it makes the movie flow. Its hard to put into words but it is almost the story teller. Sometimes I just put the movie on so I can hear the story of Conan.
I LOVE your passion, man. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment you had with your daughters first music. I’m glad to see another video of yours and wish you and your family good health. Especially you, brother. You started this 2020 that has been tumultuous for all of us worse than most, but I’m glad to see you doing better. Never change, brother!!
OMG the Conan soundtrack, I used to listen to that on repeat when I played WoW back in the early WoW days instead of the in game music. That soundtrack is epic fantasy incarnate.
I used to get Newtype USA any time I had a doctor's appointment in Philadelphia. They would be at a Suncoast Video I'd usually pick up a anime and a magazine.
As always thanks for these New Game Stuff videos John! As I've gotten older i don't really have friends that share my passion for video games and anime, but you fill that void in my life!
Glad to see you doing ok as well as your family. Watching your videos is like, as you described when opening your box of magazines, like a wave of relief to my body. I know this may not mean much to you seeing how many thankfull fans you have but, really thankyou for doing these videos. It is the possitive energy we need on these crazy times.
The story about the music at your wedding is awesome. I can imagine how much fun it was for the geeks who were there to realize that no one but them understands what kind of music this is. But the music itself is great.
You are hands down one of the most passionate youtuber about your hobbies and I love it ! Seeing you gush over games and anime makes me proud to be a nerd !
Love your music choices I have begun to listen to quite a bit of video game soundtracks My fave is Outrun Into the crisis. Stay safe and sending prayers for you guys and the baby 😀❤️
I think the difference between modern and old anime is that old anime needed to do more advertising in physical media so we got the one shot art pieces. We never get that now because current anime only need trailers, i think that is why the best of modern anime art is Shonen because they still use Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Yeah. I had this in highschool for the SNES. Every lunch period, my friends would come over to my house and play against each other like we were at the arcade. It was awesome!
That's awesome that she gets to hear Conan music at such an early age. We had Macross and Urusei Yatsura songs playing to our daughter when she was a newborn, they helped sooth her. 🙂
I listen to the Conan soundtrack all the time because of my long commute. As for anime, I'm lucky I grew up near San Francisco, because there used to be a lot of manga cafe's with little Japanese manga magazines, all kinds, going back to the 60's. You would just come in, take one or two books (there were bookshelves all the way up to the ceiling all the way around the shop) and then get a booth and place your order (coffee, sushi, ramen whatever) So you got to know a lot about the manga industry and the various genres out there
I've just bought a collection of my favorite magazine from my childhood, after watch this video. It was the first time that I bought something nostalgic and this collection is special for me, because I remember reading those magazines over and over again. It's the Brazilian version of "Nintendo Power", called "Nintendo World".
I remember getting the NewType magazines when i was in highschool around 2003 and they had a DVD included with a episode of different animes. I also cut out some of the pages to hang up in my room as well.
I miss newtype magazine hell I miss most anime and video game magazines you don't see him in the stores anymore just seeing those magazines give me nostalgia
SF II was the killer app that made me buy the console. So many great memories from college playing massive tournaments with my roommates in our apartment basement. One of them was Indian and he used to enjoy kicking Dhalsim's butt and yelling and laughing "this is so racist! we don't shoot fire balls from our mouths!" Good times, good times.
I pretty much played SF2 religiously back then as well, but I was never able to find other people to fight against. Only once in a while would I rarely find someone who played the game but I probably played against less than 3 people before I didn't have the game anymore.
the magic you express over magazines and anime and games in general is special man. Reminds me of poring through EGM issues I could find, and Nintendo Power and Game Informer, and that was in 2005-06! Along with my library's copies of weekly shonen jump issues being released by Viz Media I think, again early to mid 2000s, mostly 2004-2008 for me. You're good at bringing the nostalgia magic back Johnny, it's a gift! :)
Those magazine's are absolutely beautiful, man! Great score! I love old-school anime art more than nowadays anime. Robotech, Voltron and Saber Rider was my jam back in the day!
I used to stare and memorize all of my older bothers New-type magazines! Super amazing you can get those pieces of history! Here in Japan you run across old ones sometimes in used book stores and recycle shops. If I ever come across some ill send them your way! If you ever want to know what the articles say I would be happy to translate them or give a quick summery! But maybe that would kill some of the nostalgic magic haha , Great video! Keep well!
I remember the first night after my son was born I played him "Breezy" from the FFVIII soundtrack while he was sleeping. First song he ever heard... Hit me the same way, man.
I’m almost 42 years old and every time I watch your videos like this, I get that nostalgic vibe and I think of my childhood I totally get your emotions it’s like a kindred spirit with these videos. Thanks so much for doing them.
Some awesome stuff there Johnny! The Conan soundtrack is legendary. The intro track is epic and obviously a favourite, but the Funeral Pyre track gets me every single time.
I gave all my Super Nintendo games (including SF2 and Mortal Kombat 2) and my SN console to a kid that lived in my apartment complex when I moved out. I felt I was too "grown up" for video games so one less thing to move. Later, I regretted it. The good part is SF4 is way better.
~Johnny PSA, Johnny PSA~ Mikimoto did the character designs for a radical anime in the last few years called Kabaneri the Iron Fortress. His designs are spectacular but the best part is that they STAY ON MODEL. So you can REALLY appreciate it. Check it out! It's short and sweet.
Your "back in the day” stories makes me wish I had some video game memories back in my childhood; where retro videogame era was at its height. I didn’t own any but I’m still happy that I get to listen to your stories. Your stories makes me imagine the nostalgia and it weirdly resonates with me :)))
I know how you feel when it comes to Anime. I remember being a teenager in the 90s growing up and the only source of anime and Manga in the UK was this magazine i used to buy monthly called Manga Mania, that exposed me to the world of Japanese animation and comics. Anime and Manga was very niche and hardcore back in the 90s. I used to borrow, swap VHS tapes of shows and movies with friends, that's how I first discovered AKIRA and Fist of the North Star, that got me hooked since then. I don't watch modern Anime as much as I used apart from recommendations from friends as I find some of the stuff nowadays a bit hit and miss. Great video dude, i admire your passion.
I had borrowed a complete series of Robotech which got me hooked to find more anime, and boy did I find some good stuff at an Asian grocery store, Dangaio, Guyver, Bubblegum Crisis, Iczer-1, etc. Eventually a Suncoast video store had an anime section and I went there almost on a daily basis to browse and buy their anime VHS tapes. They were a bit expensive back then, but they had some good selection. Like yourself, I don't watch much anime today either and only like a few, One Punch Man for example.
Oh, so I'm not the only fool who stupidly sold off Suikoden 2. I had it, and damn me for selling it. I did buy Suikoden 1 for some reason and still have that, but there's a huge gap in my collection (got 1, 3-5 + tactics and DS Tierkis).
Amazing to see you back Johnny! 26:14 Ah!!!! The Five Star Stories! Such a great anime and an amazing manga! I can't believe you were able to find those Newtypes! That really brings me back! OMG what a time trip! 26:14 AH!!!! MIKIMOTO Designs! MAN that brings me back! WOW! Great to see these again Thanks for that Johnny! I so regret selling so many of my video games to get "newer" video games. But money was scarce and birthdays and Christmas only came once a year so it was really a sign of the times. People forget that SNES games were $90+ Canadian back in the day. NO WAY CONAN THE BARBARIAN!!!! Johnny you have NO IDEA how much I LOVE that movie! Basil Poledouris' Magnum Opus! Amazing that you walked into your wedding with the Orgy Music. Fun fact that piece was co-written by Basil's Daughter Zoë Poledouris at the time she was only a little girl. So when your daughter heard the Conan Soundtrack as her first music, it has a strong connection with the composer and his daughter! Kismat! Another Great video Johnny, looking forward to the next one! 😊
When you showed that PC engine multi controller adapter, the first thing came to my mind was "Oh I played Dungeon Explorer a lot with my friends using that thing back in the day". I felt happy you mentioned the name soon after that :-) I hope you will have a great time with you friends.
John, I love your work. Have watched your vids for years now, and you provide such great, relaxing content. And congrats to you and Kim for having a baby! I wish you many long, happy years ahead.
Those feel good SNES days. Brings me back, though, I was about a decade younger than you. Lol. Hope all is well with you and the family dude. Thanks for the years of genuinely passionate content.
Dude I loved alien storm as a kid. Got it when my brother traded all our old nes accessories for genesis games. Got this and shining force and shadow of the beast.
Ahh those games brought back memories of walking down to the arcade/pool hall after school every day to play. I still remember when the original Mortal Kombat dropped in arcades, figuring out how to do the fatalities. It's too bad the arcade experience doesn't exist for kids these days You'll love Yakuza. I finally decided to check out 0 and ended up playing through all the mainline games back to back earlier this year, remasters of 3, 4 and 5 also available now on PS4
I love this guy. He's so genuine with his passion.
Yup totally agree

I love how no matter how many things he gets over the years, the shelves have never changed lmao
I believe in his most recent room tour, he has shelves in front if him as well!
This comment still made me chuckle tho, haha
yeah iirc all his most modern console games are behind the camera
About a year ago he actually organized the collection in a new way :)
Good point lol.
consistency is key to success
I can probably say this for all of us,
WE HAVE MISSED YOU my friend
Good to have these videos back,
Hope you and your family are doing well
"Late night one day on ebay"...is a dangerous thing! haha
Famous last words for most of us
@dion luna that is VERY true too haha
Can't agree more, the regret kicks in when the boxes start to arrive.
Story of Seasons is now the branding for the original Harvest Moon series and this is a remake of the GBA title. The still going Harvest Moon name is now used by different Western developers.

I'm just gonna say it: kids today will never know how important mags, catalogs, and zines were to those of us with niche interests.
Dude if we had the inter web back in the day cheesh. Used to go read all the game mags at the corner store every month to find all the secrets.
Yea, I was born in 92 so I get the best of both worlds in terms of the mysticism of not knowing everything and discovering a gem, and knowing all releases and having the internet.
@@christopherhogan4943 And here we are today still dredging up stuff we missed!
"The baby's dead- ... dead out sleeping.." My HEART!! 😅
Weird way to say that. 25:03

It just occurred to me that I've been watching Johnny since I was 10 years old (I'm 20 now). One of my favourite shows on the site, thanks for everything!
Artwork from late 80s ~ early 90s is just the pinnacle of style!
I use to special order Newtype Magazine from my comic shop back in the late 80s, early 90s. Great memories!
The way you spoke about SFII really made the memories come flooding back. That game surpassed even my greatest expectations. I know I’ve said it before but that game single handedly destroyed arcades.

Much love Johnny. Hope all is well with you and the fam. 🥂
Street Fighter 2 was before my time since I was but a little baby back then, I'm more familiar with Tekken 2 and how awesome that was
Hey whats up smash TV!
Thanks for pulling out the Newtype magazines. Those were well produced magazines back in the day. And yes the artwork they featured were great and inspiring.
I love your unboxes and how happy and excited you get doing it. Thank you!
Omg.
I still have Newtype magazine stickers on my old high school drawing notebook.
This channel is taking me back!

It gets us all, when we have the disposable income we go back and buy up our childhood toys. I'm currently collecting ZX Spectrum games...
I got I think 4 maybe 5 new type mags still somewhere in my closet but I'm so glad I held on to my electronic gaming monthly magazines, got about 6 years of those and still get lost in those pages.

You just can't beat the old classic art style of 80s an 90s anime!!😎
Around 14:16 the box cover opened up by itself and got me creeped out.
Super glad to see you back Johnny!

14:04 oh man I loved the Newtype DVD sampler discs. Before streaming video online, those were gold.
I always look forward to New Game Stuff episodes. Bonus nostalgia story was the icing on the cake.
Hope Kim and the baby are well.
Some exotic stuff right there man. Nostalgic AF.
"I'll throw it her way and see what happens for sure"

I remember getting the NewType magazines when i was in highschool around 2003 and they had a DVD included with a episode of different animes. I also cut out some of the pages to hang up in my room as well.
Dude! I just did something similar. I just got a bunch of Wizard magazines from 96/97 because that's when I started reading comics! 🤣
Congratulations johnny glad you had a baby
I used to have to save up for my Newtype magazine but it was deft worth it. With games and thus I would only be able to get one once every 3 months.
I miss newtype magazine hell I miss most anime and video game magazines you don't see him in the stores anymore just seeing those magazines give me nostalgia
This guys has such a nostalgic quality too his reveiws and platform,feels like im back in the 90s love it so genuinely consistent.
SF II was the killer app that made me buy the console. So many great memories from college playing massive tournaments with my roommates in our apartment basement.

Hope you enjoy Yakuza 0! Also, glad you share our passion we have over at Mega Visions!
story of seasons is literally harvest moon
It is Harvest Moon, it had to be renamed
Yes story of seasons is the original team for older harvest moon games and the new ones are crap lol
@@GrandMasterPeep Can't go wrong with Stardew Valley
Keith Jones love love love Star dew valley
thirding stardew valley, it's like harvest moon on steroids
Yakuza 0 is my favorite PS4 game. The setting, story, characters, whacky gameplay. Just perfect.
Great episode, Johnny. Love those NewType magazines. Nothing tops the artwork of the 80s-early 90s anime. The coloring is unparalleled.
What a cool dad!
Ha, my brother and I mowed lawns to get Street Fighter II also. Then we shoveled driveways to pay off Mortal Kombat on layaway at Kmart 😂
~Johnny PSA, Johnny PSA~
Mikimoto did the character designs for a radical anime in the last few years called Kabaneri the Iron Fortress. His designs are spectacular but the best part is that they STAY ON MODEL. So you can REALLY appreciate it. Check it out! It's short and sweet.

Johnny I feel your pain about trading away games when we where young.. My list includes suikoden2 and panzer dragoon saga
Yep Suikoden 2. I also feel the pain.
Oh, so I'm not the only fool who stupidly sold off Suikoden 2. I had it, and damn me for selling it. I did buy Suikoden 1 for some reason and still have that, but there's a huge gap in my collection (got 1, 3-5 + tactics and DS Tierkis).

Playing the first Yakuza right now. :)
Amazing to see you back Johnny! 26:14 Ah!!!! The Five Star Stories! Such a great anime and an amazing manga! I can't believe you were able to find those Newtypes! That really brings me back! OMG what a time trip! 26:14 AH!!!! MIKIMOTO Designs! MAN that brings me back! WOW! Great to see these again Thanks for that Johnny!
I so regret selling so many of my video games to get "newer" video games. But money was scarce and birthdays and Christmas only came once a year so it was really a sign of the times. People forget that SNES games were $90+ Canadian back in the day.
NO WAY CONAN THE BARBARIAN!!!! Johnny you have NO IDEA how much I LOVE that movie! Basil Poledouris' Magnum Opus! Amazing that you walked into your wedding with the Orgy Music. Fun fact that piece was co-written by Basil's Daughter Zoë Poledouris at the time she was only a little girl. So when your daughter heard the Conan Soundtrack as her first music, it has a strong connection with the composer and his daughter! Kismat!
Another Great video Johnny, looking forward to the next one! 😊
That takes me back to the late 80's and 90's johnny.Trying to buy anime related magazines which was expensive back then.
When you showed that PC engine multi controller adapter, the first thing came to my mind was "Oh I played Dungeon Explorer a lot with my friends using that thing back in the day". I felt happy you mentioned the name soon after that :-) I hope you will have a great time with you friends.
John, I love your work. Have watched your vids for years now, and you provide such great, relaxing content. And congrats to you and Kim for having a baby! I wish you many long, happy years ahead.
man you are really fun to watch, really brightens my day.
Persona 5 soundtrack playing in the background 👍
Those feel good SNES days. Brings me back, though, I was about a decade younger than you. Lol. Hope all is well with you and the family dude. Thanks for the years of genuinely passionate content.
Dude I loved alien storm as a kid.
Got it when my brother traded all our old nes accessories for genesis games.
Got this and shining force and shadow of the beast.
I swear I love this man's channel. Been watching ever since 2012, love you Johnny stay safe
I thought I was the only one that loved the Conan soundtrack. I like to read Conan books with the soundtrack playing in the background.
One of the biggest regrets of my youth is trading stuff in for the next thing.
Nice to see you back in full power John ✌🏼
Ahh those games brought back memories of walking down to the arcade/pool hall after school every day to play. I still remember when the original Mortal Kombat dropped in arcades, figuring out how to do the fatalities.
It's too bad the arcade experience doesn't exist for kids these days
You'll love Yakuza. I finally decided to check out 0 and ended up playing through all the mainline games back to back earlier this year, remasters of 3, 4 and 5 also available now on PS4
These day's kids play Fortnite and PUBG, they won't know a good game if it smack them in the face like Silent Bomber for example
