Almost all of the 80's - mid 90's consoles were virtually screaming "We're in 3D guys, WE'RE IN 3D!!"

These startups are mostly a demo of the hardware. If it can't even run that, there's something wrong.

3:16 that "W" slowly jumping towards me would probadly scare me as a kid

7:21 you can tell they spent most of the console budget making this intro. Sounds great with headphones on.

Designing these bootup screens and jingles must be hard. It's literally the sound and video people are gonna see every single time they play, better make it special.

0:19 When you hit the SHIFT key too much

why do I feel nostalgic watching all of these? I don't even own 99% of the consoles shown....

I got chills and didn’t even play 10 of these consoles

I remember when I was 7 years old that I woke up at 6 AM to play PS2 and I didn't realize that the TV volume was 100. We all know how this story ended.

5:12 The most aesthetic startup. The sound, the logo, everything combines so well.

The 11:40 Dreamcast one holds a special place in my heart - and I’ve never owned a Dreamcast

all of these companies collaborating this must be the best videogame ever

So what kind of effects do we want for the boot up screen? Sega: Yes.

you have to admit, 7:22 is arguably the BEST sounding startup

0:21. No words for how vintage it sounds

11:07 and there it is, the most beautiful sound i can remember

2:52 me presenting my powerpoint presentation in 7th grade

12:53 the nostalgia of this one 😭😭😭😭

There's something about old game console startups that are pleasing to look at. Almost majestic

2:40 that started to look more and more like an acid trip

11:14 kids these days will never know the suspense we had at this part, because that's when you knew if the game was actually going to run or not.

You can kind of pick up on themes of each generation. Early systems were sort of like playfully showing off, showing the senses of humor of the programmer as much as the artists. Around the 90s, we start seeing the "Welcome to the next big thing" posturing. At the turn of the millennium, we see a split; ones who rebelliously cling to a certain image, and ones who resign themselves to how much more businesslike video games are becoming. Mid 2000s sees the last bits of energy popping out in abstract ways, before everything becomes so sterile and corporate. It's not about making something exciting anymore, it's about making a product.

The PS2 startup was always creepy and mysterious to me as a kid, especially when I was in my room alone in the dark hearing the eerie sounds fill the room. And the 1st Xbox startup for me as a kid as well was the coolest out of all my consoles I had.

>Startups then WOOOOW WHOOOOSH 🎵🎵🎵 WOW A 3D thing!!!! >Startups now (Logo) 🎵 Greetings player, may i take your coat? How about a spot of tea? Please, leave your shoes at the door.

My mom: Good night..! Me: yeah..Good night..! As soon as she closes the door: 16:28

11:07 Imagine *THAT* sound at the cinemas! 🤤

DS hit me with hard nostalgia that I almost cried, ngl

16:19 Everytime the sound is made a new gamer is born.

7:21 Ooh, this is wonderful.

14:22 aw, miss those old days... :(

3:03 "i like your funny words, magic man"

Welcome to the R•E•A•L World (Takes place is space)

6:50 Is so weird listening to a high-quality version of that startup. Like, we're all used to the distorted, low-quality one used in YTPs and stuff.

this feels like waiting for a modern game to finish all those company intros just to play the game

That Amiga CD³² startup still gives me goosebumps. What a system!

2:40 - 3:40 is the epitome of "graphic design is my passion".

11:55 *This scared me as much as THX did when I was a child.*

Man, the startups use to be so cool, welcoming and relaxing like you were being greeted by a good friend when you got home. Now it is so cold and nonexistent it sometimes gets annoying how long takes for everything to boot up. Ps1's is so relaxing if they would've kept it basically the same with minor changes they could've made it seem like the console was aging with you. The Xbox's had mostly an amping you up effect and the 360 is a balance of both.

(16:52) sounded like ASMR, (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) and (16:54) sounded like earrape. What an ear breaker!

11:56 Nostalgia crashes in for me, and it doesn’t let go...

I had no idea that so many big companies tried their hand in the gaming world.

I wish this was made chronologically, but definitely still awesome. Thanks for making this!

1:02 you just can feel the nostalgia coming off on here it’s like it has its own mystical era of essence that just aged really well and I love it 😩💜✨ if anything this just proves that they don’t make them like they used to and am not even from this era 😔….

Therapist : When did you notice the OCD get really bad? Me: I watched this video on console startups. There was no order. Just chaos.

13:30 ngl, this one was pretty epic

I did not expect something named "FM Towns Marty" to kick ass THAT much, but here we are.

Dreamcast sound feels so nostalgic

No one: Bowling alley screens when you get a strike: 2:54 UPDATE [VVV] first off, thanks for the likes not gonna get to into it before it turns into cringe , but 3k is the most likes i have ever had ALSO, I added the "No one" because it was trendy at the time, see you all later and have a good day

Dang, I’m not even in 2020 yet.

11:07 Loved this sound. I was about to enter my world again and escape reality

What a wonderful and painstaking effort! Thank you for posting. I kept clicking the "Start" button, but no game started! :(

11:40 this was my first most relaxing or satisfying sound, i don't know why

Now that I've seen every single start-up ever there is no doubt about it: the PS1 one is the most goosebumps-inducing.

8:05 Probably the longest one out of all these.

16:28 AHH so much nostalgia

PlayStation Startup: Me: Something will happen

11:07 PS1 is the only console startup that never fails to bring me goosebumps everytime I hear it. The PS1 startup is not only the definition of epic, its epic itself.

Get your “I’ve only heard of 1% of these” ticket here

emulator users will never experience the satisfaction of these sounds

6:50-6:57 "Mah boy…" "All toasters toast toast!"

11:05... 11:55 *heartbeat increases* 12:17 you know what is droppin

Ps1 intro is goated. The music is so sick and how the animations and text combine with the instrumental, the fade out/fade in. Straight up 🐐. Best intro off all time

loved watching all the old system start ups brought back alot of memories

The 90s developers were on some good shit

1:59 fun fact :this console was only sold in Taiwan This console was an Epic fail With only 12 games released

"Are you keeping up with the Commodore? 'Cause the Commodore's keeping up with you!" lol Haven't heard that for a while.

14:32 I remember when my dad had this console back in 2019, and we still have it today!

15:52 that intro only happened once on the first day I got it but now it starts up like 15:47

5:17 and 5:35 Is what the 80's sounded like everyday.

0:05 I love that heart at that sony startup

14:57 Ahh yes my favorite game console, Steam.

This video feels like watching a movie where the intro credits of profuction companies are endless

I love how after the nintendo switch it's just virtual boy

12:00 Holy fuck wow I haven't seen this particular screen since 2002, when I first set my fatty PS2 up.

Alot of these 80s and 90s games bring back alot of memories of my childhood. Not the video game systems themselves but family and friends long dead.

16:31 I’m not that old but I remember playing super Mario 3D world every day on this, the startup sound brings so many memories

2:40 - When you figure out how to use an editing software to make KZfaq videos in 2010

14:32 man I remember the good days playing portal or burnout or mabye portal two I find it kinda funny that me and my dad only just discovered our slim plays ps1 games lol

The Dreamcast was Sega's final console.

listening to startups from before the 2000's feel like an outer body experience

0:37 The Sega Master System startup is pretty fire ngl

That was awesome. Made me feel old because I knew all of them! Had most of them at points in my life. Ahhh, how time flies...

This is gonna sound so basic lol, but the PS4 intro puts such a big smile on my face every time I hear it. It’s just been such a mainstay for such a big chunk of my life, I can’t help but feel like I’m being welcomed home when I hear that intro.

13:01 the way this made me feel 😔

14:44 calm music just a normal ps4 11:55 sounds about right my ps2 also wakes up the neighbors

Wow you have APF on here. Great job!

The genius idea of combining both colors of Dreamcast into the 2 different intros

11:07 ah, the Playstation 1 Startup....best console startup jingle EVER.....childhood memories....sometimes i boot up my PS1 JUST to hear the startup jingle....

PS1, game cube, sega dreamcast, xbox 1, xbox 360, my favorites.

The memories of waking up early on a Saturday morning to play on the Wii, only to wake the entire house with the Wii start up noise blasting. Always so loud.

this gives me intense nostalga even though i never got to experience using any of the older consoles

6:49 You know when you see this you're in for something good.

11:29 is actually the startup used on Dreamcast dev units.

I love watching this The jingles are so nice and catchy The visuals are cool too

that’s a ton more consoles than I thought existed

7:37: I want the REAL PlayStation 11:07: Perfection

8:04 what I see when I rub my eyes

imagine waking up in ps1-ps3 dimensions even thinking about it gives me chills
