Drew, I'm pretty sure they made these boxes with more care than they would because they knew they were going to a KZfaqr with a big audience.

Warning to viewers: They loaded his boxes because they know who he is and they wanted a good review. If you're just a regular person they'll send you nothing but trash. I know this from six months of experience.

A lot of people who say "i got this for free" got "good boxes" but when you look at pulls from people who paid for it, they talk about how bad they are.

The best way to do this is to pay the subscription and not let them know who you are...not a fan of this way to rate the service

I'd love a youtuber to do an anonymous review where the company doesn't know you're doing a review

Paying near equivalent for games that you basically dont care about and a lot of those games were ones that sold a bunch, and games usually retain around least 5$ in value when you want to buy/sell but are also virtually worthless in bulk.

I'd be curious to see him pay for 4 months, and have it shipped to a friend's address (so they can't tell it's him). See if there's any difference.

-Me: Expecting to see a comparison between various different gaming boxes subscriptions. -Drew: Here's 4 boxes from the very same website.

Not sponsored but has a promo code.

I love how he called them out for re-sealing DKC Returns

Nintendrew’s videos are basically monthly subscriptions 😂

Omg is that Ninja at 14:39 from the Nickolodeon D se Dab commercial? 😅

Xblaze Lost Memories, is a spin off sequel to the anime fighting game: Blazblue. I really recommend it only to visual novel fans or Blazblue fans since its a dedicated spin off of the series. It was really unexpecting to find that in a retro gaming box ngl.

I feel like the price of the box really shouldn't be the target value. In that case you should just spend the money on games that you actually want.

Are you affiliate with them or not? You have a promo code, and you receive products from them in exchange of a promotion. Also, if they payed attention to your demands, it's because they know that you're a youtuber making a video on them.

Short answer: No Long answer: No

Watch the vids MadLittlePixel made on these. They’re trash sadly.

Is it just me or is there a small delay on the audio and video? Every time it jump cuts. Which is a lot it seems like they bump and it’s very distracting. I could be wrong but that’s what I see

I'm gonna be honest here, these things are mildly interesting at best, and a waste of money at worst. You can never really trust what comes out of the boxes for a KZfaq video since they can always be different. Which is part of the fun sure, but there's the problem. That's only fun for so long. I mean he got a copy of Gears of War for the 360. He got a camera. Anyone who really has interest in collecting, should just budget out the money they'd spend on these things and buy actual items for a collection. I'm sure they got good items and good ways to target specific systems and all that, but there's just a ton of better ways to spend that money. Oh and I also forgot to mention rarity. Most of the titles he got are so common you can pick em up almost anywhere a retro game could be sold. Things like Gears and Bioshock are so dirt common they are almost not worth picking up outside a lot of multiple games. Even the Famicom stuff is so cheap that a quick eBay search will get you the title for way less effort. Theres great information in this video about price charting and authentic seals, but as for the loot service, it's just a wash.

I still can't get over the fact that those glasses are fake.

Naw, it's VERY obvious these boxes were loaded this way specifically, since this was for review. I've seen TONS of other KZfaqrs with these and they were all garbage.What a coincidence that you have a discount code, too. Sad to see this type of stuff on this channel.

I actually really enjoy these boxes. I put value on the surprise every month. Its so much fun opening up the boxes. I unbox video games monthly and retro game treasure if you want to check out what a normal person gets, that has to pay.

We’ve missed you so much. You haven posted for over a month

Drew, I was shocked when you said that you have never seen The Goonies. Please take 2 hours out of your day and watch this iconic film. You will love it the first time and you will want to watch it again and again. It never gets old and you will always laugh your butt off each time you do.

I went onto Retro Game Treasure's website after seeing this, and they talked about how they will never put in "bad games". There was a list of these "bad games" such as 'Superman 64' and 'Shaq Fu', but there was no 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' on the list. That means that you have a chance of getting one of the worst games of all time in your box. Damn

holup.. Nintendrew...tell me you did not just say you've never seen The Goonies before!?? Thats gonna be the most frequent comment you get. Do yourself a service my man. Watch that flick.

Even if they WERE worth it, can you properly value it when they purposely sent you these for free?

I’m not a collector but I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts as you opened these! I don’t think “average value” makes it worth it, especially since they can basically throw anything in that you don’t have. But especially for a collector like you, I still liked seeing your thoughts on things like this!

You know they loaded these for you right Drew?If I did this I would get garbage

Dude i remember when you had 3k subs.... now its 300k!!! Congrats man!

When the world needed him most he vanished

How have you not played DKCR?!?! I didn’t play the Wii version but I played the 3D remake on the 3DS

I think it is great for impulse buyers, allowing us to get a reasonable amount of games for cheap / month

I miss nintendrew ☹️🥺

Also, the best way to check current pricing for gaming has always been sold ebay listings. Price charting doesn't always update on time.

First off, you need to watch The Goonies, what have you been doing your whole life? Something to consider is this is a service looking to help you complete your collection, they are doing the work for you and that's definitely a value by itself.

Nintendrew, I normally just avoid subscription box’s, they’re a waste of money in my opinion. Also, can you please do a Top 5 Rarest Wii Games? I would immediately watch it if it ever happens.

Do more of these, theses are fantastic and enjoyable and i would live to see the others and how they stack up with this one

Dear nintendrew my name is alex i am 14 years old and i am a retro games collector and i have been searching for a video/website to cover these as well as you thank you i will buy these box’s and my collection will keep growing again thank you and keep making great content

I did this for two years, some boxes were fantastic and had games I’ve never seen locally. Other boxes had nothing but loose discs and when I went to ebay to track down a case with no game just to find complete copies for less than $5 shipped. Several times they sent games that I checked off on their checklists and rarely got more than 3 games unless I got a double the previous month. It’s fun and exciting to get a box of games every month but you will have a better time tracking down good games on eBay.

bro this video was so entertaining. usually i dont watch stuff like this cuz i get bored but this was really entertaining

Hope everything is good, Drew. Haven’t seen anything from you in a couple months. Miss your stuff!

I know I am not the only person who will say this, but "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE GOONIES!" It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

NO! They cancelled my subscription because I refused to add a third console to my preferences (they only require 2 when you subscribe in the first place) They wanted ME to help them scrape the bottom of the barrel for them.

You've never seen the movie The Goonies?

I used that service for 6 months and they were not supplied to me for free....Don't use them. They suck.

Considering shipping costs for buying individual games is a lot I think you're also saving money with the subscription even if the value isn't there.

If I had that subscription I would be happy as long as it is with in a couple dollors in range. In the end of the day you have something to add to you're collection!

When is he Going to post a new video

Hey Nintendrew, since you've not uploaded a video for a long time, I would like to ask...is everything allright? Greetings from Germany.

I think as long as the value of the games sent gets kinda close to the cost of the box, then the difference in price paid versus value can be chalked up to the curation process of putting that box together for you, the convenience of getting them at home and the shipping cost.

Ninja Hattori-kun is a series by the same guy that made Doraemon (it has even made cameos in merchandise in episodes from the 90s series). It follows the same basic premise: a dumb boy with glasses, in love with the prettiest girl in class, becomes involved in a lot of trouble and has his blue friend, that's crashing in his house, uses his DeM powers to solve things. The boy is less insufferable than Nobita, and instead of a pair of bullies and an intelligent, honest, hardworking guy as nemesis, he gets a rival character that messes with him 50% because of the girl and 50% because he's a covert ninja from the faction that's enemies with Hattori (the blue ninja).

why she not uploading anymore pls

Hi Andrew, I am finally getting a 3ds on monday and I am so excited!

If you click with details on pricecharting, you can choose if you have the manual or not and it will effect the price, although sometimes it ends up being worth more somehow.

Thank god i'm not the only one who feels this way. I ordered one box and I got bayou billy, sonic spinball, tiger woods 06, nwo revenge and jungle book for the original gameboy. when I contacted them about getting a trash box, they told me i had to refine my choices. keep in mind i had refined my choices already and put in a wish list with a ton of games.

Yay! A new upload. I'm a big fan. You need 1M subs

We need Nintendrew we all need nintendrew did is he a Afking he Not uploading wot is he up too now we don’t know

I've been subscribed to them for awhile. The wishlist doesn't help greatly, but they aren't sending me anything in my collection. The convince and excitement of not knowing what you're gonna get easily pays for some it if the video games don't match $35. Overall been worth it so far.

God bless Nintendrew putting his ad breaks at the very end... A true hero😍

Nintendrew wearing a sega shirt. Why. How.

You leave for two months and come back with a "not an ad" ad? Kind of disappointing, just be open about the fact that this is advertising. :(

You can select if the manual is included or not :D you just have to put it in a list/collection. You can also just collect the manual without the game/case

These boxes are novel like a lot of subscription boxes now but time passes and the novelty wears off. I honestly wouldn’t spend my money on this but all in all glad to see Nintendrew content. Reviews are detailed and honest, keep up the good work and stay safe.

these boxes are generally much worse than this, they’ve heavily inflated the value inside because they knew you would upload it

no one knows why I got so many likes

One of the more obscure and different channels, very good content, keep it up, Drew, you're awesome!

Great review Nintendrew!

yo what happened to Nintendrew? It's been 2 months since an upload lol

Watch the Goonies Drew omg

It's really cool they add stuff like demo games. Makes collecting those a whole lot easier.

Holy crap....you’re alive??? What’s up man? I miss your videos dude.

of course they are sending u boxes over value, you are youtuber. what about the masses, perhaps we will never get the shiny riches

BUDDY, stop making videos and go watch The Goonies!

After 2 months the man is back

Can you show off your plug n play collection

Aaaanndd, aren't you going to explain why you were missing for almost two months?

He really uploaded this crappy sham of a video then dipped

I'm younger and I just started collecting!! I have a decent portion of games and I love watching your videos!! They really help!

I wouldn't ding them for coming in a little under the $35 price, because you're not accounting for shipping costs and anything other kind of overhead costs. That they got anywhere near the price they're charging is pretty impressive.

Well I think one thing we all took away is that he needs to watch the goonies

Thanks for continuing to make videos for us during quarantine, makes it a lot easier to get through.

LOL I GOT AN AD FOR ONE BEFORE THIS VIDEO 😂😂😂

14:33 I audibly screamed. I *fucking* love that game so much more than I should.

The biggest thing you're paying for in these services is feeling the surprise of getting a new game you didn't pick out, even if it is trash.

I'm in utter shock that someone your age hasn't seen the movie the Goonies! it's one of those 1980s best of classics!

Happy to see this video come out! I've been going back and forth in wanting to get this subscription or not and I know I can trust you.

I am 100% sure my boi Nintendrewcarey is jacking it on that sofa before each and every video just to get the butterflies outlet his stomach and ease his nerves before filming.... Good on him!!

I think that even if the average was below a bit, I would take into account that it has a convenience to it because its a subscription so as long as it was still somewhat close I would say it would still be worth it

I was skeptical at first but the video ended up being very fun. Thanks !

Anyone else just gonna ignore the fact he’s never seen the goonies??? Great movie to this day.

A lot of it depends on your personality as a gamer-willingness to try new things, genre preferences, etc..

There's two versions of Atlantis and one is really rare and worth a bunch. Most will say there's a difference in the labels but the rare version can have both variations. The games are basically identical except the font on the rare one is more plain looking and the common one has a "fancier" look to the font.

Even if the games value doesn't reach the 35$ value you still come out ahead just for the convenience of not having to search or pay for shipping charges/fuel charge if searching ..

I think placing "value" on random items that you may or may not want isn't based entirely in numeric values. Chances are, if you are a serious collector, you will probably have a lot of these titles. If you aren't a serious collector, you are probably getting stuff you don't want or need. At best, these are a novelty for folks who have expendable income and like being surprised.

To find the box only price, you add the loose price to the box only price displayed on the website

To any retro collector out there, even this video being "on target" is not so on target when you want to find retro games to collect. They may send you good items, but most of the time it's going to be a bargain bin item. You're better off searching for individual games on ebay or mercari. Also, as a retro collector and price charter myself, you don't go to Price Charting. Many games are lower in price, while some of the more rare titles can be way more expensive. Just search through the seller sites to find the actual pricing of each individual game.

Because they sent it to you for free, it's likely they really catered to your wish list more than maybe other people. So it really isn't a blind evaluation.

Use pricecharting as a rough estimate only. Some of those prices are with shipping added in.

We need to get that Nathaniel Bandy, Nintendrew, and Scott the Woz crossover
