Same her bro. I just had memories of the excitement I felt the holiday season of 88, dreaming of the Nintendo and finally getting it Christmas morning. 7:39
Makes me tear up. That exact feeling of reconnecting with pure childhood excitement is what collecting retro is all about. Nice work Rick. Keep being a good human being, father, husband, and friend
For people who didn't know him yet: This is rick. This is always rick cause rick is just as generouse & real of a person you can get. He understands what those 2 amazing dudes with there voices have done for the world of videogames & movies and still rocking these days on cons like socal with allot of energy & smiles. Rick knows all of this oh so well so the gifts are super deserved for them as a little thanks for everything they have done. Your a wonderfull person rick for beeing you ❤
I think Mario Bros 2 (US) is a true Mario Game. Purely based on the fact that the Shyguys have ported over to so many games after and originated from SMB2 making SMB2 (US version) cannon in the universe of Super Mario. (EDIT: Fixed Grammar)
I am the same age, born 1980. One day when I was 9, I didn’t do the dishes before my mom got home. She was so pissed she threw the NES against the wall and smashed it to pieces. She probably had a bad day at work. She felt guilty and bought me another one a few weeks later. I forgive her. I bet those guys really appreciated those gifts. A really nice thing to do for a stranger.
Great gesture Retro Rick, you’re a class act, top notch great guy, I don’t live anywhere near Arkansas, but from a New Yorker, very classy getting those two voice actors, I apologize that idk their names, but that was a great moment, the guy who voiced Sonic was legit thinking you were just doing a comedy bit or something.
@8:48 Can confirm, everyone in the crew were as nice as can be, was a pleasure to meet you all during the con and hope to see you again next year! (And bug with more things to sell)
I saw you giving out the gifts there at the celebrity panels, I also got a 32x for 100 bucks, compared to even Mercari prices at $150 that was really good for my $300 dollar budget
I agree with him 1000%! Such a nice guy on film, but getting the chance to sit and talk and play the piano and just hang out, let's me know how truly awesome a guy you are! Cool video and gifts. Seeing him finally realize the SNES was his to keep was awesome!
Super appreciative of you taking the time to talk to me and take a picture with me at the so cal gaming con I love you Rick ❤ can’t wait to go to your convention!!! Your awesome!!!
Used to wrestle for Pee-wee Herman’s wrestling company, my father, Peter Brown as the heavyweight champion my father, Peter Brown was the guy in the Tinker Bell costume. Love you guys.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Still hurts to think that I threw away my issues of Nintendo Power 24 thru 62 in the trash because at the time I said to myself "I've grown up, why do I need these". Sure would have loved to have them again. Not just for the nostalgia but the feeling of joy when the mailman dropped off a new issue.
7:14 That Mega Man 3 Nintendo Power was the first issue I ever got. Issue 20. I must have read that thing cover to cover over 100 times. (It sure as hell wouldn't be a 9.2 CCG rated magazine!) If I saw that at a con, I'd be VERY tempted to get it!
Technically it’s a reskinned game. Japan didn’t think that Americans would be able to play the actual Mario bros 2 which is what we eventually got as super Mario lost levels.
the gameplay and levels were not designed with super mario in mind, they just threw the mario characters in to sell it to us americans. this game is about as real as a kid dressing up as mario for halloween. he might look like him but it ain’t real.
That’s a really tough question. I think Mario 2 was hard for a lot of us to process when it first came out. Not my personal favorite but I can’t blame anybody who loves it. It lacked a bit of that Mario flavor at the time but now it’s become cannon I would say
Thats crazy I just got that same action set couple weeks ago at my local retro shop for the same price. Almost mint. All paperwork and plastic bags still there. I think someone used it then put it in a closet and forgot about it.
Super Mario 2 is a true Mario game. A ton of lore that's used in all Mario games including peach and luigis mechanics come from that game. Shy guys, ba-bombs etc.
We all know the history; however, SMB2 imo is definitely an official Mario game. Nintendo officially released it as such and that’s all I need. *Also, imo the best Mario music!
Years ago, I gave away my Super Mario Bros 3 strategy guide to a friend of mine. He really liked it, and I didn't think I needed it anymore, so I told him he could have it. I really wish I'd had kept it. I'd love to flip through those pages again.
The love for Super Mario 2 makes me so happy to hear. I think the fact that we later found out it wasn't an actual super mario game tainted how good that game was. If you didn't have a ton of NES games or a subscription to Nintendo power on the NES the only popular games that can compete with it is Zelda, Super Mario, and Metriod. Super Mario 2 was both hard but self explanatory while being very creative and innovative. Actually beating Zelda required a knowledge of the game or patience to backtrack until you figured it out, Metroid had the same problem of being a giant maze of backtracking if you didn't know what you were doing. By the end of the console a game to pick up and play that wasn't Mike Tyson's punch-out style of mastering 1 mechanic, Super Mario 2 was the absolute best that any lawman could find. It gave you the feeling that discovering the first secret pipe or the first underwater level in Super Mario gave almost every level.
Great video! Which SNES design do you prefer? USA design or Europe design? im from UK I love the roundness of the Europe design but id love to have a USA one!
I could go on a long diatribe, but Nintendo definitely see SMB2 as a real Mario game. When they came to make a Famicom cartridge version, the Fuji TV version was essentially erased, and Japan came to know it as Super Mario USA. It was the first Mario game they brought to the GBA, as their most prominent launch title.
awesome and nice gesture Rick,i´m gonna make me a voice actor too,haha,seriously,there is still nice people in this world,thanks for all the entertaiment in your channell
I remember on Christmas Day when I was 6 we went over my Aunt & Uncle's place for Christmas (my mother was a single mother at the time). My other Aunts and their boyfriends, and my my Grandparents were there. I was the only Grandchild at the time. My uncle gifted me a RC Electric Car Track Set & a Nintendo Action Set. I played that Nintendo forever. Until my mother made a deal with me. She had brought home from work a VCR. Knowing that Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, Home Alone 2 and TMNT were coming out to the local Blockbuster (which I ended up working at) she said, "We can keep the Nintendo or the VCR." Immediately I said, ''VCR".... So we took my Nintendo to the local Funco Land. There she asked, "What are you going to get with your money?" I just pointed to the Hulk Hogan Wrestling game for NES. She said, "Sorry, we don't have that system to play it anymore." A week after having the VCR, she tells me.... "So I have to bring back the VCR to who I borrowed it from at work." WHOMP WHOMP That Christmas she felt bad and only got me one gift from "Santa". A Gameboy with Mario Baseball.
From my understanding super Mario Bros 3 was a bundle pack item and there was only roughly 1,000 or so sold individually with a box so I really hope that you bought it

8:29 I’m the guy in the blue shirt and glasses and that walks by. It was a pleasure meeting you at the convention
You deserve a better part in this movie, IMO!!!
I agree with him 1000%! Such a nice guy on film, but getting the chance to sit and talk and play the piano and just hang out, let's me know how truly awesome a guy you are!
Cool video and gifts. Seeing him finally realize the SNES was his to keep was awesome!
Super appreciative of you taking the time to talk to me and take a picture with me at the so cal gaming con I love you Rick ❤ can’t wait to go to your convention!!! Your awesome!!!
So sweet. Love all your content, but this was extra sweet. Nothing more enjoyable than giving thoughtful gifts.
Used to wrestle for Pee-wee Herman’s wrestling company, my father, Peter Brown as the heavyweight champion my father, Peter Brown was the guy in the Tinker Bell costume. Love you guys.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
NOT DEAD Arcades 80 and 90s cabinets..
Yesss ! Restaurations for the world saloons greats.👾
Great video! Your generosity doesn't go overlooked Rick!

I did the same thing, and mom made me throw away all my GB and GBA boxes and manuals. It’s okay to cry.😢
2 types of people in this world,.............that is all.
Rick, what you did is awesome! Love ya Man!
Good video. Alot of great childhood from the 80s and 90s as gamer kids. Those were the greatest times for us as kids.😊🕹📺 to 🎮 🖥.
2:16 Dracula Unleashed, nice choice - i loved that game. I have a sealed PC copy.
What a legend you are rick , taking those guys back to there childhood , Your a great guy
7:14 That Mega Man 3 Nintendo Power was the first issue I ever got. Issue 20. I must have read that thing cover to cover over 100 times. (It sure as hell wouldn't be a 9.2 CCG rated magazine!) If I saw that at a con, I'd be VERY tempted to get it!
Mario 2 is not only an actual Mario game, but it’s better than 90% of the other Mario games ✅
i will NEVER consider mario 2 a real mario game. never. not saying its not a good game, but its not a mario game.
Technically it’s a reskinned game. Japan didn’t think that Americans would be able to play the actual Mario bros 2 which is what we eventually got as super Mario lost levels.
Hey watch your mouth ,Super Mario 3 all day 🤙 lol
agreed. best nes mario for me is super mario bros 2 way more than a reskin
the gameplay and levels were not designed with super mario in mind, they just threw the mario characters in to sell it to us americans. this game is about as real as a kid dressing up as mario for halloween. he might look like him but it ain’t real.
Awesome video. It brings back memories of my brother and I beating Super Mario 3 on July 4th weekend back in the day.
That was an amazing thing you did for them. I was tearing up 🥲. Thank you for everything you and your team do!
Awesome stuff Rick, youre a good dude. So cool of you
I wish he could send me a Snes and Nes...those memories was the best part of my life. Im now 45 and life has defeated me. Im glad for those two dudes.
Their joy was so genuine for those consoles. Makes my heart happy
need more SoCal Gaming Expo vlogs
Man you're such a genuinely good guy I love your vids. Watched you since before you had your store. Still love it all
Never been on your whatnot because I'm at work everytime you do them. But I would love to check them out too
That’s a really tough question. I think Mario 2 was hard for a lot of us to process when it first came out. Not my personal favorite but I can’t blame anybody who loves it. It lacked a bit of that Mario flavor at the time but now it’s become cannon I would say

Saga voice actors loyal to Nintendo 💪🏻💪🏻 lol. What a cool gesture Rick!! Bravo
Love Super Mario 2! I feel like 3 was an extension of 2's game play style wise.
Crikey 😮 I’m not even half way through and THESE PRICES 😳 The UK is so much cheaper Rick
That kid picking his nose constantly at 4:50 was silly af 😂😭
Mario Bros 2 is the best Mario, hands down. Game play and level set up is so fun. The music is so nostalgic.
👊😜👍
Christmas in summer..Wow..Huge bravo Rick..
That's what it's all about bros!!! Awesome job Rick!! Also no way! I grew up in Willoughby off of Park Ave & Euclid Ave!
That was so nice of you Rick to gift them their childhood favorites.
Yes, Super Mario Bros 2!!! It’s my favorite as well.
Good video. Retro Rick has always been great guy and that is why I continue to be a fan!!
That was very heartwarming you should do more of these kind of videos
super jeleous regarding your whatnot-sale - wish in europe the retro scene would be that great
That was awesome Rick & Mike. You can tell that meant a lot to them

Hahahaa ... Damn i would have dune 2 trippel wolts 4 karatekicks and jum over the desk for that consoles. Big upp everyone! / Sweden
I remember playing Super mario 2 with my brother. We had so much fun. I liked the unique power that each character has.
Solid content. Solid guys. All around good times and a great video.
Wow that was a super cool show! You made their day that was awesome of you to do that for them!

The best thing about Super Mario Bros 2 is the ending ( I loved this game as well, yes I'm old ).
Years ago, I gave away my Super Mario Bros 3 strategy guide to a friend of mine. He really liked it, and I didn't think I needed it anymore, so I told him he could have it. I really wish I'd had kept it. I'd love to flip through those pages again.
Retro Rick for president. Thats wws a cool gesture he did for the voice actors.
How would I check the calendar for these events 😊
This is awesome! Nice meeting you at SoCal Gaming expo brother. ✌🏼😁
Super Mario 2 is my favorite SUPER MARIO game too!

NES Mario 2 was great as I played it with my dad when I was 3, loved it
Great video! Which SNES design do you prefer? USA design or Europe design? im from UK I love the roundness of the Europe design but id love to have a USA one!
Dude that is sick. Such an awesome episode.
Dude, you the Man👊. That was Awesome!
Hook was one of my favorite (and few games) I owned for SNES
Little hands across America there Rick 😆
Hey @retrorick when's the UK tour?
Yessirr.. Mario 2 was weird for me. Mario 3 classic

As a wise man once said "WHAT A GUY!" IYKYK
Rick you have a heart of gold man. Congratulations! 😀👍
Super Mario 2 is also my favorite nes game & I never hear anyone else say this lol awesome!!!!
Mr. Retro Rick! You're Alright with me good sir! #GodBlessYou🕊
Does anyone know the best place to buy protective cases for old school gaming in the UK?
I could go on a long diatribe, but Nintendo definitely see SMB2 as a real Mario game. When they came to make a Famicom cartridge version, the Fuji TV version was essentially erased, and Japan came to know it as Super Mario USA. It was the first Mario game they brought to the GBA, as their most prominent launch title.
Very cool of you Rick!
What an awesome gift, so cool of you!!!
when will Retro Ricks gamestore have a online store?
A lot of us didn’t even no about Doki Doki panic that was pre smart phone era lol so super mario 2 was the Shizzle my nizzle

Retro rick is wild for thisss 😅
awesome and nice gesture Rick,i´m gonna make me a voice actor too,haha,seriously,there is still nice people in this world,thanks for all the entertaiment in your channell
SUPAH MARIO BROS 2, BAYBEEEEEE!!! GAME OF THE YEAR, EVERY YEAR!!
Also, not a real Mario game.
Got NES 001 at home works like a charm
Rick bringing that benzos energy
My favorite part of the video was when the action set went into action.
0:56
If you think about it it’s not a Mario Game since it’s just a Reskin of Doki Doki Panic
A little known fact: Mario 2 was actually a game called Doki Doki Panic from Japan.
That was great but I kinda felt bad for that other guy that was turned around with em ! That didn't get nothing. Lol
Whats the value of everything you have given away on whatnot?
I remember on Christmas Day when I was 6 we went over my Aunt & Uncle's place for Christmas (my mother was a single mother at the time). My other Aunts and their boyfriends, and my my Grandparents were there. I was the only Grandchild at the time. My uncle gifted me a RC Electric Car Track Set & a Nintendo Action Set.

That Christmas she felt bad and only got me one gift from "Santa". A Gameboy with Mario Baseball.
Are those magazines from that all in one set you bought?
would be a shame to separate it
From my understanding super Mario Bros 3 was a bundle pack item and there was only roughly 1,000 or so sold individually with a box so I really hope that you bought it
