I remember one Christmas in the early 90s, our Nintendo was giving us a lot of issues, the blow trick wasn't working, and we were having problems with getting our games to load. Told mom and dad, and they asked us if we would want our Nintendo fixed as a Christmas present and they'd get us some new games. FFWD to Christmas morning, my brother and I finish opening our presents and we are kind of disappointed that there were no new nintendo games. Mom and dad say the repair shop wasn't able to get our nintendo fixed in time for Christmas, but it would be ready the day after. They then suggested that we help our little brother open some of their presents (they were toddlers), so we did. First one we open was a BIG box. Inside, was the SNES. I was beyond stoked! This was a classic move my dad would pull. He would always hide our presents and kind of trick us into opening them. Should have seen it coming, but he got me again!
That was awesome! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄...never mind the camera setting up...🎉🎉🎉 To whomever cleaned the house! Beautiful! Have a blessed holiday with your family!
Best Christmas memory was waking up at 5am to play EA's return of the king on ps2. Woke up that early because I just knew I got the console for Christmas and couldn't wait lol.
Amazing video. Aaron has become such a good storyteller. Not just in the sense of explanation but evoking feeling in the viewer and sparking our curiosity to take a deep dive into our own nostalgic memories. One of my favorite videos - been a fan since day one of the pursuit. ✌🏻
The year was 1987 I believe and me and my 2 brothers just got home from the skating rink and there it sit on the coffee table, the nes system with gun. Mario, Duck Hunt. We went bananas!
This made me remember my Christmas of 96 when my mom and dad went to toys r us to get me and my older brother the n64 i knew they were going cuz i overheard my mom telling my dad and i had to act surprised but even tho i knew our present was the n64 opening it with my older bro as we tore the wrapping paper and we saw the Nintendo 64 on the box we freaking lost it haha i started crying haha and we played Mario 64 all night !!! good times...and also merry Christmas hope yall have a blessed holiday full of beautiful memories ☃🎄💚💖
Can I also say that people need to appreciate your talent to make such a fun and attention keeping video with you literally filming yourself in Liberty for the whole video..seriously I never got bored!
My fondest Christmas memory was my brother and I saving up money to buy a 2600 Atari and a week before Christmas, our parents told us not to buy it. We were surprised and sad that we were not allowed to buy it. Move forward to the 24th, our family went to San Diego to spend Christmas with our aunts and cousins, and when 12am hit, we opened our gifts, we were stunned that our parents bought us a Nintendo. That’s the reason they didn’t want us to waste our money on the Atari. We spend all night playing Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt until 7am.
We had no money, but my parents always managed to make it special. When I got a used NES later in its life for Xmas, it had a coffee stain on top, and we were told it must have been from Santa. We loved it 😂. I asked for Mega Man 3 and the last box was gigantic and my heart sank. But inside the box was another box, and another box, and another box, and another box with 3 NES games, one of which was Mega Man…5? I didn’t know there was even a 4!? To this day MM5 is my fav for this reason (despite having access to all of them via MiSTer and acknowledging 2/3 are objectively better)
My Christmas memory was when all the presents had been opened and we were already my parents pulled a big box from under the sofa and it was a PS1 when it had just came out! Was a bigger surprise bc they kinda didn’t like us playing video games growing up and I was like the only kid that didn’t have an NES at the house
Recognize a few from encore here lol favorite Xmas memory doesn’t really involve video games as those we bought in person most of the time. But favorite tradition is one of my family members always dressed up as Santa and went onto the roof of the house to pretend he was coming to give presents at the family Xmas party. Funniest thing is he never brought presents he always just gave away presents we brought lol we still ate it up as kids lol
I think the fact that most people say they don't love Zelda II Adventure of Link, makes it now really lovable. Tough game, but I occasionally play and enjoy it.
I wonder if any of the guys involved with designing all these games you highlight and love watch the videos and and get a kick out of seeing the appreciation you give for the games they created 😊
Bad Dudes was awesome. I remember playing it at my friend's house way back in the day all huddled around a kerosene heater in the living room. They rented that game so many times.
Best Christmas memory got to be when my uncle bought a ps2 slim for christmas with lego star wars me and my brother played for hours such a good memory.
I wish I was old enough to remember getting the super nintendo lol. My favorite xmas gift would be when me and my brother got the Sega Saturn. Yes we actually wanted it when it came out lol. Still have that same console and games. Kool video pgs
I too am a fan of MegaMan 3. It was the first MegaMan game that I was actually able to beat. I was always able to get to Wiley’s level on the first two but never all the way through it growing up. Honestly, though I think that the first appearance of Protoman put it over the top. To this day, whenever I hear that whistle I get hyped!!!
@ been years of loving n watching you all. Do miss the fun skits you used to do with Mikey. Plus your livestreams were fun. But, all your videos have been great throughout your channels. Much love n merry Christmas to the families. Still a goal to meet you all one day
The holding your breath through a tunnel thing was funny. I remember we used to do the rule is hold your breath. You have to touch a screw in the car and lift your feet off the ground.
For me, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 is kind of like Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World: They're so close that they could easily switch spots depending on the mood I'm in at the time.
I think those that don't like Zelda II just aren't good at the game. Some of the best NES music ever as well! Also, for me, Mega man 2 is the best NES mega man game. It's a tighter experience, great music, cool weapons and end stage/boss. I do like the addition of Rush and Protoman in 3 and at the time I thought fighting the bosses from 2 again was cool but in hindsight the game would have been better without it. Last boss was way too easy. Anyways, my favorite Christmas memory was in 1987 opening up our NES setting it up and getting a few games of Super Mario in before church.
In the end, it doesn't matter what others think when it comes to games I guess, the feeling u have with Megaman 3, is the same one I have with FF8, it's by far my favorite game in the series, and most people do not like it at all. :D P.S. I've been fasting 15-18 hours a day, since May, and went from 93kg to 79kg. I feel great, sleep better, wake up better, and I am much happier during the day overall. :)
Mega Man 2 is the best overall. 3 gets a little long and the weapons are not quite as fun as 2. Mega Man 3 is more polished and cohesive, but the lag issues and not quite as cool weapons seals the deal.
Couldn't agree with you more bro. I had the same thought about mega Man 3 being legit with top man being the best!!! Also shout outs for top man's power on using it against Dr. Wiley on the final box that shiiii haxx x
Not recording in the post office was the right call. I've seen enough 80s movies to know what really cool teenagers do. Those really cool teenagers would have bullied you. You don't want to start your day off by being bullied.
I was hoping you were gonna say which is the best megaman game ever, and my answer is Megaman legends , I know that maybe a controversial pick but it's my pick lol

Story telling isn't always genuine. There is a fine line between sounding like a BS'er and being authentic/genuine.

Hey I reaaaally honestly appreciate this ALOT
What a beautiful video. Thanknyou for sharing your pursuit. Have a jolly upcoming Christmas. Long live NES and Pixel game squad ❤️
Thank you so so so much ❤️
Have a great holiday dudes. Appreciate all the videos!
Playing EXCITE BIKE in ‘89, as a 7 yr old and as my first NES game ever, is engraved as a cherished memory forever in my mind.
The year was 1987 I believe and me and my 2 brothers just got home from the skating rink and there it sit on the coffee table, the nes system with gun. Mario, Duck Hunt. We went bananas!
Merry Christmas from your neighborhood homie! Cheers to you all.

Memories. Wow. I grew up having all these games. Blaster Master, Bionic Commando, and the Mega Man games. Wish I still had all of them
Merry Christmas Riff & Ricky,and all the PGS crew.your guys are awesome 🤩🤩🤩 keep hustling and create more videos for us. Love From Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤❤❤

The holding your breath through a tunnel thing was funny. I remember we used to do the rule is hold your breath. You have to touch a screw in the car and lift your feet off the ground.
That took me back! I was like why is he doing that and then it clicked !
For me, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 is kind of like Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World: They're so close that they could easily switch spots depending on the mood I'm in at the time.
Merry Christmas Pixel Bros 🥰🫶
Merry Christmas to you!
Collecting rare Retro Games ANYWHERE is great. Merry Christmas Riff and co ❤
Merry Christmas my friend!
I'm with you Riff on the Mega Man 3 sentiment-- it's always going to be my favorite. Best music, gameplay, and bosses.

its funny to me that some people out there in other countries can go out in t shirts, meanwhile here in Finland its around -5°c 😂😂
Same here in Canada 😂
Craaaaazy! Honestly I rarely wear pants. Short shorts almost year round 😀
Its crazy how climates are different around the world 😮
@@PixelGameSquad uhh you would unalive yourself here with that clothing, like 5 minutes outside and youd have frostbites and hypothermia 😬
In the end, it doesn't matter what others think when it comes to games I guess, the feeling u have with Megaman 3, is the same one I have with FF8, it's by far my favorite game in the series, and most people do not like it at all. :D

Love u work on the video🎉
My favorite Christmas memory was when my siblings bought the new Nintendo GameCube and they immediately banned me from playing 😂😢
My great memories on Christmas getting Zelda major mask

Big pimpin baby! The jay z so nice in my country!
Couldn't agree with you more bro. I had the same thought about mega Man 3 being legit with top man being the best!!!
Also shout outs for top man's power on using it against Dr. Wiley on the final box that shiiii haxx x
Have a good Christmas y'all!!
So many great games.
Someone gave an unmedicated Riff the camera and said go play. Haha
Well my Thursday nights always suck because of work but glad I get to see the new videos on my dinner break each night!
Love nes bad dudes as well it's top 3 for me fav ever game made
MegaMan 2 is unforgettable
Mega Man 3 is my favorite as well. It was the first one I beat.
Oh man I want that van so bad 😭
Merry Christmas! 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Awesome. I saw my Encore packages getting dropped off 😁
Hahaha that’s hilarious 😂
Not recording in the post office was the right call. I've seen enough 80s movies to know what really cool teenagers do. Those really cool teenagers would have bullied you. You don't want to start your day off by being bullied.
what van is that? I want to buy one!
A Sprinter 😇
Riffr how do you just continually talk!? You and my baby momma would get along. lol
Hahahha always been that way 😂
You’re awesome brotha. Thanks for doing what you do! :)
Would’ve been cool if you walked around with a plant and drank a cartoon of milk.😅
I was hoping you were gonna say which is the best megaman game ever, and my answer is Megaman legends , I know that maybe a controversial pick but it's my pick lol
Mega Man 3 is the best!!!! So many people say 2, but I think that 3 is the best gameplay and soundtrack.
Mega Man 3 is my favorite!
Is the holding your breath while driving in a tunnel common?? There’s one in Arkansas I’ve done this to since I was a kid!
We’ve always done it in my family ! 😍
