That Standard Kart under the stairs seems like it takes up a bit too much floor space, so I’d say that having it under the stairs works well. Perhaps you can add decals to make the underside look like a car garage (like the background in-game of the menus in MK8). The whole room is coming together!
I cannot wait until you finish everything. It's going to really round out the space. I'm also definitely in favor of the back-to-back fridge / arcade combo under the stairs. Best of luck with all the finishing touches!
I think the arcade under the stairs idea was the best one imo. While I agree that it could be used to store more space, I really like the walkway. I think its a cute little addition that brings the whole room together. And adding the arcade would make it double as its own space to play more games.
Hey man I absolutely love your videos! You've inspired me to start collecting Nintendo games and consoles! It's so much fun. Your collection is truly unbelievable. I love the idea of putting a mini arcade under the stairs! Also, I personally would move the poker table to another room of the house cuz it just takes up too much space and doesn't fit the theme of the basement. Totally up to you though! Keep up the great work!
My Idea for the fridge would be to put it inside the small walk in closet in the corner of the room (behind your desk), and place an arcade cabinet beneath the stairs.
I LOVE the new way of displaying the consoles that you came up with!!!!! I also really like where the fridge placement is, it’s very efficient!! The only thing I disagree with is the poker table in the center of the room, I feel like it makes the room look super crowded, but having it in the expanded room I think would look super cool!!!
I would put some kind of brick looking panel under the stairs to mimic a garage for the kart. With shelves on the opposite wall and an arcade facing the new addition. So that you can get behind the arcade to access shelves on the walls and the kart in it's own garage. I think the fridge is in a good place.
My idea for the fridge is to move it back under the stairs and find an arcade machine to put on the other side. I don't love the idea of blocking a door with the fridge, even though you have it on wheels.
I like the idea of the kart under the stairs and the fridge in front of the cold cellar/room. I would maybe suggest some permanent, smaller wheels on the fridge though if you were to keep it there. Believe it or not, with the fridge there, it sort of seems to make that area look bigger than it really is.
the really small media shelves from Ikea are called Gnedby and they left production early last year so at this point you pretty much have to go through ebay to get them or get a different shelf. Billies are still around (though they seem to have issues keeping them in stock) and still have the smaller ones, they are just about 2x the width of the Gnedby, I'm quite sad Gnedby is gone.
Some ideas/suggestions: 1. I like "option 3" and using under the stairs as a mini arcade! You can still walk through, and perhaps you could use the mounted shelves to hold retro game paraphernalia (pre-NES). 2. I love the idea of making the new space behind it a handheld room and keeping the Pokéball table there with some loose handheld systems that you can pick up and enjoy! I also liked the notion of moving the Pokémon collection over there. 3. I think the poker/Deku Tree table actually works fairly well where it is, mostly because it thematically complements the Zelda wall right behind it! 4. I think the idea of having a secret My Nintendo nook in the closet is great, especially if you add some beanbag chairs! What I would do, though, is perhaps consider moving the secret door/Zelda sound effect over to there. I know that might not be possible, but it just seems kind of anticlimactic in front of the furnace room since only you will actually use it. It's probably your only moving shelf, though, so maybe make another one or install a traditional door? Just a thought...
I've always loved your enthusiasm with this stuff. I've been watching since the early days of Collecting 101 and it's great to see that same excitement and planning all these years later.
There isn't a Billy in all the Ikeas in the country right now. Ebay has them for 300. Fun. Also, make that closet the arcade room. It was born for that. Lighting and all. Go get em'!
Behind the stairs make a bookshelf that perfectly fits into the space, you can even put the bookshelf on hinges so it opens up to reveal a secret video game area 👀
The white trim really works for the new section and makes it’s a little more separated from the main room which looks really nice imo, amazing job with the work though!
I like the idea of the handheld room being set up mostly like you have it now and add the pokewall and the rest of the shelving. I think I’d do away with the secret door and sink your refrigerator into that space. Then you could roll your refrigerator out if you need to access the space. I like the shelving idea for under the stairs and that seems like a good spot for the kart. It’s all coming along very nicely though. Nice work
Man I lived my live by you collecting series you would post every week or so I love your channel. I'm not even gonna give a suggestion about the stairs. They all seem like good ideas sir
Your space is coming out great! I like a bit of cohesiveness, so I'd suggest to move the pokewall behind the two red chairs, you can do the billy cases to the right as your handheld section, but instead of a billy bookcase to the left put the fridge there so its reachable and it's not blocking any entryways. Leave the cart under the stairs and use the other side for more shelving. Put your nintendo figures where your pokewall is now (or somewhere else) so you can put the arcade in that closet and have LEDs to really give that arcade vibe. I would remove your current wii shelf and leave the wall empty to make room for the game chairs (if you want to keep the table there). Also since you don't know how quickly you'll get a bar table the deku table provides more seating (comfortable ones too). Those are my thoughts but hopefully some of our ideas help you out. Good luck!
personally, I'd hate to completely lose the space under the stairs by putting the fridge there, but that's just me. I like the idea of making the other room into a handheld space. and I like the idea to have a bar table behind the couch
Brilliant that the expansion is completed, underneath the stairs I would turn it into an Arcade 1 up area and install the lighting the way you explained that would look really cool. I also would put the shelves in the expansion area even on the door to store your electrical system. The game room with the expansion looks really nice 👍😊
For the beam on the ceiling, you could try to make stickers with another pattern rather than Mario bricks? Like early Zelda or Pokémon sprites? I could see gen 1 Pokémon world sprites fitting really well here. Not too sure about the Great Deku tree table. Sounds like there won't be much leg room left.
It is looking great! In my opinion I would prefer the fridge under the stairs. I think it is too huge to be in other places and can be a little bit off in between the shelves. But it fits perfectly under the stairs and I think it will be hard to make something else there 'cause there is not a lot of space.
Hey! You should paint that ceiling bulkhead to look like a nes. The black vent is almost in the perfect spot. Edit: Atleast the face of it, maybe not underneath
I think the poker table should go in the new room. And I think should but put a arcade in the little room in the corner. And I like the The holy way under the stairs with the mario kart and putting selfies up. And I love what you did with the new room and I think all of your ideas for the Room are awesome.
Have you considered moving the couch into the expanded room with all the TVs and leaving under the stairs open to walk through. That would leave the main room open for display and tables. The floor looks awesome nice work.
A smaller arcade under stairs and on wall behind it use the neighbours shelves U just got..........just my 2 cents;) when I say behind, I mean the wall behind ure back playing on the arcade.
The only thing I think is a bit off about this is having the TV on that bookcase. I know I'm not sitting in that space and have no idea how far back it really is, but it looks way too high up for a TV. If those top two shelves weren't there, it'd probably be the perfect height.
Looks really good. I think keeping the Mario Kart under the stairs makes the most sense because it just fits really well. It would be too tight and cramped to sit and play a 1-Up arcade machine.

The Mario decals on the beam look great!
This is so cool. I didn't think your game room could get any better, but you continue to amaze me.
I cannot wait until you finish everything. It's going to really round out the space. I'm also definitely in favor of the back-to-back fridge / arcade combo under the stairs. Best of luck with all the finishing touches!
Making under the stairs a little arcade-themed space would be awesome! My vote is for that

This is the greatest man cave ive ever seen.
The arcade 1-up under the stairs is a brilliant idea!
Wow it looks awsome. Good job. Exited for room tour 2021
Also your almost at 150 k

Terms like “natural shelf” is why I feel like we would get along.
Fridge + Arcade on either side of under the stairs is the best idea
My Idea for the fridge would be to put it inside the small walk in closet in the corner of the room (behind your desk), and place an arcade cabinet beneath the stairs.

Option 1 looks great buddy
Great!
It's looking great!!!!!!
It’s been a while since I watched but I’ve been here since your first room tour years back!

Thanks for making great content. My entire city was just destroyed by hurricane ida and your content makes me feel alot better
Wow the game room is looking awesome bud!! Great job!
Can't believe how long I've followed your channel...
I truly love seeing your Nintendo room evolve!
I wish we were friends so I can help. looks so fun to do 😀😃
Love seeing your progress man. It's SOO cool that you may have a dedicated handheld space! It'll make the different areas feel perfectly different!
You could paint the underside of the stairs OR put some Mario Underground block Decals. Idk I would personally paint it white or black.
Some ideas/suggestions:
1. I like "option 3" and using under the stairs as a mini arcade! You can still walk through, and perhaps you could use the mounted shelves to hold retro game paraphernalia (pre-NES).

100% agree with the secret door to the furnace room being anticlimactic. I wonder if I can use it on the bathroom
@@NintendoCollecting That isn't bad idea, although isn't it going to be more Mario themed?
The room is coming together nicely. Always a joy to watch these videos.
I've always loved your enthusiasm with this stuff. I've been watching since the early days of Collecting 101 and it's great to see that same excitement and planning all these years later.
U have the best collection of Nintendo by far- not even close
My vote is just the arcade under the stairs!
Definately put the fridge back under the stairs 💥💥💥👌
I like the idea of leaving the walk-through space under the stairs, it helps to make the area feel more open.
There isn't a Billy in all the Ikeas in the country right now. Ebay has them for 300. Fun. Also, make that closet the arcade room. It was born for that. Lighting and all. Go get em'!

The expansion makeover looks awesome!! Way to work hard.

Arcade1UP under the stairs with stools and LED. The game room is looking amazing
Man I lived my live by you collecting series you would post every week or so I love your channel. I'm not even gonna give a suggestion about the stairs. They all seem like good ideas sir
I say you should use the space under the stairs to put a 1 up with two stools
Slowly coming together I like how it's open under the stairs lots of cool ideas to come up with in that new space
everything’s looking amazing 😻
When you guys have Kids They are Never gonna leave that room !!!!
And I don’t blame them. I’d be a hermit if I had this collection.
Nicely organized... that's a heck of a lot of consoles!
The gold trim would be cool

Right new years Resolution all money goes to my Nintendo collection
I think the white baseboards look so good you should paint them all white! :D
personally, I'd hate to completely lose the space under the stairs by putting the fridge there, but that's just me. I like the idea of making the other room into a handheld space. and I like the idea to have a bar table behind the couch
Congrats!!
This room is instantly better than the "Museum" the Nintendo Store in NY has in their store.
Brilliant that the expansion is completed, underneath the stairs I would turn it into an Arcade 1 up area and install the lighting the way you explained that would look really cool. I also would put the shelves in the expansion area even on the door to store your electrical system. The game room with the expansion looks really nice 👍😊
Just the arcade under the stairs
Looks amazing I love this
4:07 would be nice if you Mario theme it and make it look like the kart is parked in a Mario pit box 😍
For the beam on the ceiling, you could try to make stickers with another pattern rather than Mario bricks? Like early Zelda or Pokémon sprites? I could see gen 1 Pokémon world sprites fitting really well here.
Not too sure about the Great Deku tree table. Sounds like there won't be much leg room left.
Awesome man!! I would install the fridge and the arcade in the alleyway and go for it with the new large Screen!! wonderful room!
Nintendo Switch OLED if you ask me, Lithium.
Progressing very nicely!
I wish I could offer you a bigger house bc with the stuff you have you deserve one.
No matter what ya do it’s gonna be good
Maybe it’s time to grow up though. Lmao 😂 just kidding
Just the arcade under the stairs might be best. Although you may bang your head when standing up haha
I’ve been waiting for this one
the table should make a Zeleda sound when it opens !!
Wow the secret door is awesome. Great set up
If I ever got to tour this guys nintendo room I'd probably poop my pants. I can't even imagine owning all of this stuff
It is looking great! In my opinion I would prefer the fridge under the stairs. I think it is too huge to be in other places and can be a little bit off in between the shelves. But it fits perfectly under the stairs and I think it will be hard to make something else there 'cause there is not a lot of space.
I would put just the arcade in the small space
That space is like every collector's goal!
10:37 lol
Your house is VERY cool, SO MANY Mario games and lots of Nintendo merchandise too, keep expanding, it’s looking good
Great expansion!
I really want a house like that, I love collecting Nintendo things.!
love it hopefully to be able to do a pokemon room like this someday.
Keep the walkway open and shelves up !
Hey! You should paint that ceiling bulkhead to look like a nes. The black vent is almost in the perfect spot.
Edit: Atleast the face of it, maybe not underneath
I think the poker table should go in the new room. And I think should but put a arcade in the little room in the corner. And I like the The holy way under the stairs with the mario kart and putting selfies up. And I love what you did with the new room and I think all of your ideas for the Room are awesome.
Looks cool I'd make the area around the kart in a style like a mario garage with design around that
This is amazing keep up the good work lithium
Definitely add drywall underneath the stairs and finish it off
I think you should put the shelves on the wall underneath the stairs. With the arcade.
you should take advantage of that extra floor space and make a full blown mario racing circuit
Totes love the arcade idea, totes
for the other space, I'm thinking totes on the arcade idea also. This way we have 2 arcades! Totes!
NICE!
I personally think the pokemon stuff is in the perfect place
Cool basement. Hope it doesn't get flooded.
Have you considered moving the couch into the expanded room with all the TVs and leaving under the stairs open to walk through. That would leave the main room open for display and tables. The floor looks awesome nice work.
A smaller arcade under stairs and on wall behind it use the neighbours shelves U just got..........just my 2 cents;) when I say behind, I mean the wall behind ure back playing on the arcade.
So cool
10:38 Is a glitch at that point!
I got scared hahah
@@sareli. 😂 Just thought I'd address it! 😁
Cool
The only thing I think is a bit off about this is having the TV on that bookcase. I know I'm not sitting in that space and have no idea how far back it really is, but it looks way too high up for a TV. If those top two shelves weren't there, it'd probably be the perfect height.
Looks really good.
I think keeping the Mario Kart under the stairs makes the most sense because it just fits really well. It would be too tight and cramped to sit and play a 1-Up arcade machine.
Chef's kiss
I personally prefer the fridge and arcade facing different directions
I want a secret entrance behind the fridge lol
