Several people asked me to make this video... so here it is: An overview of my NES collection and a vignette style retrospective on the Nintendo Entertainment System. NES Review and Retrospective.
In this video I talk about childhood memories, good games, bad games, box art, unlicensed games, trends during the NES era of gaming, games with strange names, sports games, the impact the NES has had on the industry, and much more! I hope you enjoy it.
Here is a link to my video about Game Cases and the Cover Project:

In case you're wondering I drew inspiration from many other collection overview videos in my approach to making this video. I wanted to see what worked, what worked less, and what hadn't been covered yet. If you see any similarities to AVGN... you win! He has been an inspiration to many of us on KZfaq and in a way this video is a tribute to him for doing videos right. Here is a link to his NES Collection video:

I LOVE how "no fighting" was on the list of rules for your NES club hahah. That was classic!

@NESComplex 11 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I could've spent hours talking about all my favorites, but i thought this would be more to the point. I'll probably do a Top 20 in a few months.

I would love to see a "Top 20/30/40/50 NES games" by the NESComplex. In my opinion this channel is the most interesting when it comes to gaming because of how diverse the already existing lists are. NESComplex has an opinion and it's definitely worth listening to.

Nostalgia is that feeling you get when you think about memories from simpler, more innocent times. Often times toys, games, commercials, songs, and such will bring these feelings about.

Ah, yes, "The Magic of Scheherazade." A friend of my sisters' once had that game. It was a strangely interesting Zelda Clone which incorporates some RPG-style combat at some points.

I have collected most of the games I grew up with and my collecting for the system has really opened up. It's so much fun discovering new titles that I have never played. Just a few weeks ago I played Jackal for the first time and that thrill of finding an exciting new title is rewarding. Thank you for taking the time to show your collection, I was taking notes for new titles.

@NESComplex 11 жыл бұрын

I was a late Jackal player, too. I love that game's play style. What a great title. Other adulthood discoveries with fast paced action are Gunsmoke and Guerrilla War. Great games.

My all time favorite video game system!! The NES wasn't my first (or last) game system but, it was the one that got me hooked. I still play mine pretty often , to this day. This video takes me back some 30 years ago,to my childhood, when all that mattered to my buddies and I was video games and wrestling. Great, great times!!!

I grew up on the Atari 2600 but when the NES came out it was over for me! I was officially addicted to gaming and I spent so many nights staying up too late. So many classic games that I still go back to today, what a great era that was in history!

I'm a complete sucker for nostalgia. It's a big reason I collect video games and play them. This video has only managed to make me painfully aware at how small my collection is. Also, that I need to finally start printing covers as well and put my games in the UGCs. It looks like you have more NES games than I have games! Awesome video man!

That's probably a good way to approach collecting. My collecting was very organic. I bought what I owned as a kid, then what i remembered laying at friend's houses, then games I had missed... and at that point I bought whatever I saw and didn't have. I mean why not. NES games at the swap meet are usually 3 for $5 or $1 each. It's hard to pass them up.

Well thank you, but I either read or heard others say most of what I know. I spent quite a while looking through my games considering the treasures and turds, the games with funny names and those with bad box art. I'm glad you liked it. The response has been so great that I'm thinking of doing a N64 video like this, too.

Enjoying the vids man! Been watching retro-gaming video's for a year or two now, and I must say the urge to collect some is getting greater. Unfortunately I have no room to even put up 1 more cabinet, and on top of that, I live in Europe where the swapmeets & goodwills are void of retro stuff :(

@NESComplex 11 жыл бұрын

Thanks James...I spread the games out in the living room. It took about 4 hours to get them all out, film, and put them all away... Tiring as heck, but I haven't seen too many collection videos do that particular shot. I spend a lot of time cleaning my games and usually only buy games with good labels. I'm a perfectionist. I wanted to do some greenscreen like a certain bloke I know and walk amongst my games, but changed my mind at the last minute. Thanks for all the compliments, my friend.

Scheherazade isn't that obscure a name. She's the queen that staved off being beheaded by the sultan by telling him a different story every night until he fell in love with her. It's from the book One Thousand and One Nights (or Arabian Nights) where stories like Aladdin and Ali Baba (Open sesame!) come from.
