Same here, born in 82 and got my NES for Christmas when I was 5. I had played a bunch of games at my babysitter's house so I was already familiar with the games I got, but I still remember how it felt to open that present.

@@party4keeps28 my only prior exposure to video games before that was Atari, and we knew how those graphics were. God, I miss the days when simple things amazed me.

@@Trip6IX502 That's awesome. The difference between the old Atari 2600 and an NES is huge.

I saw it a couple of times at home by some kids from school. We never had consoles, my first game I played at home was prince of Persia with weird colors.

born in 1978 but its about same only had atari 2600 since 1983, one day think was 1986 or 1987 can't remember but went to friends house who had super mairo bros, after that wanted it.

As compared to Atari

They were drawn on graph paper and converted to binary data by hand!

the commercial and the console! except it kinda was tho

He said it like he found his dad's playboy magazines. To be fair, the graphics were amazing for the time not to mention a save feature which was cutting edge back then.

I was just thinking about this commercial.. LMFAO!!!!! Just wait until he sees Today's graphics.. It will knock his socks off..

Sounds-like-your-dad-is-a-fan-of-the-movie-Christmas-Story-lol

My dad did the exact same thing with the whole secret present thing

That robot sucked he never worked

Abandoned but not forgotten

The best store ever they had just about everything I can ever imagine

@@danielmoore9209 what are you serious

@@jacobspowell4416 ye they back now. Slowly coming back but still coming back

We still have In Canada it Never left over here 😎 🇨🇦

True, no Apple Mobile Devices just Apple Computers, Nintendos we’re true gaming instead of ROBLOX. There wasn’t a messy Video sharing Platform KZfaq, everything was simple and professional.

all you did throw the game in and played, you didnt have to wait no 5 hours to wait to install it... the good old days... How I miss them.

That cave man game looks fun. I never got to play it back then

@@ikec2894 you missed out. The games back in the late 80's and 90's were so much greater than the games these days. I remember being up at 2am in the morning and playing super mario RPG. The sounds and music were so great.

back then, gaming didnt have EULA agreements and this and that and legal jargon just to play co op with a buddy lol. no internet. just video game magazines and maybe a few video game tv review shows on mornings in most major cities - it was a time of no cell phones, no tablets, no internet, and people actually went out, in real life, had fun. u rented or swapped games with friends or relatives. or heard via word of mouth about a hot new game. or read reviews in magazines. u just pop the cart in, play, that was it. sometimes technology gets "better" and in my opinion, it can make some things worse instead of better. i have a PS5 i play, sure, but older games are quick, charming fun. even today. many people today long for the simple days of gaming again. i know i do. i have plenty of retro games at my fingertips, but the original experience of watching these commercials for the first time, playing the games for the first time.. thats an era long gone now.

That’s indicative of the charm and quality of the ads.

True… but I think some of us (me) would have found a way to botch it up if we didn't understand how any of it worked. These days, it shouldn't be too hard, especially with the aid of the Internet, but not all of us may recognize that the RCA connection is a simple Match The Color game and wind up disassembling a perfectly good television set and calling the local fire department.

There was also RF, which can be a bit finicky to put in correctly. Not to mention, if you're holding the power adapter incorrectly, you might shock yourself while plugging it in.

@@AlexParr how does that happen?

My mom couldn't hook up my NES until my dad showed her. We had to use the RF adapter though and tighten a screw lol.

Yeah that's why now at 42 I still have to hook up/ install all the electronics my parents purchase.

I agree..

Im 12 and my dad has a video game console collection full of old and new consoles so I can tell you I know how much they evolved back in the day

As a 14 year old starting a retro game collection I really appreciate graphics from any era because all of those games took hard work to make no matter the era

Zombl337, Smash my fkn TV

yeah super mario duck hunt and contra super c was amazing games i play them lot whan i was kid and i say to myself one day i will wannna see and play again this old days and now i rly wanna it was amazing childhood what i have dam it this games was good

I *missed* the 80s....

Cough cough Cold War

@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS it was so magical

EXACTLY

"On point" how?

SeiyuuNeko I think at the time I commented Nintendo had just released some corny ads for splatoon or breath of the wild cant remember

Waiting for someone to not get the joke

@@ElementiaYT I get the joke so you lose

LMAO fr

Umm.. this is the NES. It came out almost 40 years ago. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Just kidding.

@@Gameboy-Unboxings no no it’s new upcoming Nintendo console code name “NES” this one will break switch’s all record 😎

they made me smile and actually made the simplistic games look amazing

Zombl337 exactly

It’s hilarious how they made every cool kid sound like Jeff Spicolli. 🤣

Nintendo was number 1 back in the 80s but today's they just make no sense in there games and it doesn't feel the same anymore

It did make it seem exciting like you were about to embark on a grand adventure.

He’s dearly missed.

Apparently they are making a comeback

Oh my God, they predicted up 24 years early!

What games and accessories did you get?

I was able to get Tetris, Gremlins 2 and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. I was also able to get a Zapper ‘89.

Same but imo it was cringy as hell

I came out in 1980s

I don't think you got the joke

@@user-of7oc4wi1m r/Wooosh

Jake Knapp ok ok we get it you don’t have to comment a lot

I am not trying to put a lot okay I was just wondering about your thoughts of the toys r us nes commercial okay it would make someone cry and it makes them feel good

@@andydandy1870 No need to police other people's comments. At least they're not negative or troll comments. Be nice.

@@jakeknapp6833 Yes! The commercials are very nostalgic. I grew up in the 80s and my first big present I remember for Christmas that I will never forget was the original NES in like 1986! Best Xmas ever. Toys 'R' Us was amazing to go to as little kid in the 80s too. Merry Christmas!

Thank you

Yeah its almost like these commercials were made in the 80's

I used to watch this show that had 3 contestants and you competed playing videogames. The winner of the episode got to fun through a little game store setup with a Velcro type shirt of sorts and grab as many games as you could stick to the Velcro shirt. Got to keep all the games as the reward for winning. I can't think of the name of it now for nothing but I'm about to Google it since I'm on break at work and it's on my mind 😆

No the voice is not squidward a voice

@SuperNESfreak91 Yes, the actor's name is Rodger Bumpass.

That's funny. I was just reading about him earlier, he did the voice of Toxie in the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. I've been in a youtube hole this morning lol

Roger Bumpass also voiced Hannover Fist in the Heavy Metal movie. 😅

Hey I have a question to you you know back in the day in the in the '90s my dad played Contra 2 on the NES he did see the SNES commercial but he likes the SNES more because the NES was old Contra 2 was a game of war and fighting and swords

Yes because I'm old

I know you made this comment 1 year ago but your not wrong

???

Track and field 2 was the bomb back in the day. Metroid, Super Mario 123, Zelda 1&2, Bionic Commando, Castlevania 123, Final fantasy, Dragon Warrior 1234, Mike Tyson's punch out,Contact,Super Contra,I mean really I need to stop bc I could go on for days 😂😆

Maybe this is why they never made Link talk.

I'm sorry lol. I'm just, VERY VERY VERY busy. I'm going to be adding more to this channel VERY soon actually.

im glad cause he was one of the more level headed people during the "KZfaq Console Wars" during 360/PS3/Wii generation and it brings back a lot of fun memories from high school and right thru college.
