“I think I played guitar hero…” you absolutely did not. 😂
Yikes felt this one to be fair guitar hero is older then these teens. So not surprised by that comment.
Probably was thinking of the wii lol
Lol, even Guitar Hero is old for them
I laughed so hard when he said that
Lying Just To Be Lying 😂
"I was literally pushing the button!" Ahhh, the classics come back no matter the generation.
Yeah, and discovering that the torch sucks lol
"2 buttons is easier".... i laughed an evil laugh.
Oh yea..i think she confused simple and easy
In my day we had one orange button.
It's crazy how much fun games were back then with only two buttons: MegaMan, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros 3, Double Dragon....
The black girl is awesome, she went through Mega Man like a champ. As a gamer since 1986. I say well played.
She is not black asshole, she is American get it straight!
I'd like to see her defeat the Yellow Devil on the original Mega Man without taking any damage. He's the first boss in the Dr. Wily section after you defeat the first six bosses.
@@Ultra-Gamer81quick question what does the colour have to do with race/nationality? And why is not possible to be both? Just curious
Now I want to see adults play these. See if the muscle memory is still there.
Right? I've gotten so good at this game that I can beat it within half an hour. No warp zones
I still play my NES and Genesis.
I never stopped playing NES games, both on the original console and on other systems through emulation or ports.
@@Chalky. I play on my consoles.
Bring it on 💪😉
"I feel like it's gonna be easier because there's not that many buttons to click"
My poor child 😂
LOL i know ! so painful. :-D
"poor 80's children" oh she got the right idea, but we were built different, we ate frustration for breakfast hahahah
And we are proud of that
Some controllers may have been broken along the way too lol
Angel beating mega man her first try is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen.
"only 2 buttons, this will be easy..." "but, but, i didnt know the controls..."
I'm a 80s baby, i grew up on these games... literally i used to play all these games as a kid... the funny thing is i bought my 10 year old daughter, xbox, and the ps5.. she has every game you can think off, but recently i bought her a nes and snes. It comes together... and all she plays now is Mario Brothers... she loves super Mario 3... that's her favorite game.. she hasn't touch her ps5 or xbox ever since o bought her these games
I still play my favorite game from the NES fairly often. It's one the best games that no one's ever heard of called Shinagan the Ruler. I've beaten Dragon Warrior and Zelda so many times That I was able to do a run on Zelda where I didn't get hit by a single monster the entire game until the boss fight with Gannon. No amount of skill helps with that fight as he turns invisible and you have to just randomly attack and hope you hit something.
Young Punks got it easy.
Loosing to Glass Joe was Punishable by Death back in '88.
Yeah, if you got your ass beat by Glass Joe, chances were that you'd get your ass beat at school the next day! Haha!
Or having your name spread throughout school that you sucked that bad.
""My Dad, he's probably not that good of a gamer. He only got to play on the NES." - That means he's better than you". Respect.
This was gold! These kids were adorable and, as a 80s parent, the nostalgia of seeing them enjoy these games showed the innocence all kids have at that age
First time I've ever seen someone lose to Glass Joe in the entire existence of Punch Out
@Isoquant Coz the kids don't know how to play the game. Can't even dodge properly to Glass Joe. They need to practice.
Yeah he was easy. Mike Tyson was ridiculous though. I still beat him, but he's really tough to beat.
Lost by decision to glass joe 😂😂😂
@DC-Instrumentalz I gave up and never beat Mike Tyson. I knew I could beat him eventually, but I didn't feel it was worth it. Probably would have taken me several weeks of non-stop play to get used to the speed of his punches. I was already drained from beating all the other fighters and didn't find it fun anymore. Tyson isn't a challenge. He's a punishment.
@@reapaknight3611 yeah he was ridiculously fast. I remember getting so mad at that game until I finally beat it 😂
Losing to Glass Joe is the epitome of shame in any video game.
"These poor 80s chidren." I felt that lol. Games were so much more difficult and you couldn't look up how to beat it on the Internet either.
I was born in 79 I'm glad I lived the 80s and 90s arcades Nintendo and Sega no iPhone no social media just pure fun. I really miss those days
That was heaven on earth for sure. Now everything is crazy.
I wish I was born in like 1920, so I could avoid this generation completely 😂
@@DC-Instrumentalz Yeah, half of them probably don't know their gender.
@@Vulpas so damn true and ridiculous fam
You miss those days because you were a child, not because it was better 😉.
Is it just me or does this illustrate how playing NES with your friends was generally a better social experience than doing the same with most modern games? They seemed like they were having a blast.
very good point! easier to vent yr frustration w a friend & have them try again. (repeat about 20x)
Subjecting those kids to ghosts and goblins was just mean lol 😂
The first Goomba in mario prob has one of the highest body counts in video game history
A bunch of gamers in the making. Seeing everyone getting into it made me smile. Next time they should play some Sega games!
Glass Joe collecting bodies. Never knew that I'll say that in my lifetime.
I literally was beating glass Joe the age of 4
I know they die in literally the training level
Iv never in my 45 years seen someone get knocked out by glass joe until now lol 😆
I got the game when I was 5 years old and my friends were also similar age. Never seen one person even struggle with Joe. This generation is special.
lol I lost to Joe when i first played it
She said "these poor 80's children" 😂 I'm an 80's kid (born in '78) and i am so thankful gor that!? The 80's was unlike any other decade before ot since!! The 90's was almost as good! 1a 1b.
If these kids only knew just how great it was!
Ghosts 'N Goblins taught me a valuable lesson when I was a kid: no matter how hard you try, you will fail. It's funny how real life turned out to be exactly the same.
They said they liked Ghosts 'N Goblins best, but that's only because they only just started playing it. I'm one of the few who comleaty lost their shit when I made it to the final boss of the game, only to learn he was unbeatable without the cross. A weapon you last get a chance to get several levels before the final level, and you have to avoid accidentally picking up another weapon before getting to the boss again. Which is about as easy as balancing and egg on my head in the middle of a hurricane.... For 30 minutes. And you only get one try.
We 80s kids ate these games for breakfast, literally finishing NES games like Contra before going to school was the ultimate test.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, we all had NES games we could never beat, even after years of trying.
Never beat lol, I didn't even know battletoads had a second level 😂😂.
Ghosts N Goblins! Look up "Angry Video Game Nerd" :)
yeah I prolly turned into a shmup junkie cuz Punch Out had me beat! lol
Punch out and double dragons were my favorites when I was a kid.
Watching Glass Joe knock out a bunch of modern teens when i've never lost to him since the first time I played at like 5-6 years old, is the comedy therapy I didn't know I needed. lol
Did we just watch Angel and Ryker become besties? Because I would totally watch them play retro games on anytime. They just seem to genuinely have so much fun together.
My favorite duo next to her and Jaxon.
These kids enjoying the games just because of the fun factor. Imagine us back in the 80s enjoying the fun factor AND the fact that the graphics were cutting edge and we were sure that graphics COULD NOT get any better than this.
We also only got like 2-3 games a year to play, so we ended up learning the games inside out.
"My dad's not that good of a gamer, he only got to play on the nes."
No son, that makes him a much better gamer than you.
Depends what u mean by better lol, nes games require a whole different set of skills than modern games. That doesent mean u are better in anyway, id like to see him sitt down and do a no hit challenge on dark souls, or try win a game of counter strike against a pro or global elite. U cant even compare classic games to modern games, cause they are way to diffrent
LOL You realize the kids from the 80s that played Atari, NES Sega ETC... are the ones creating your games you play today?.... You wanna impress me Zoomer, Write in cursive or drive a stick shift. LMAO @@jimmiekarlsson4458
Did not expect Angel to be the gaming MVP of this episode, but it was fun to see!
Angel is a straight up gamer!
Seeing kids get washed by Glass Joe made my night
Glass Joe having the time of his life
😂😂😂
Joe: "There's one important step you're missing"
Me: "BLOW THE CARTRIDGE?!"
Don't do this. It causes moisture. The reason it "worked" back in the day was because you were reseating the game and getting better connection to the 72 pin connector.
Clean with q-tips and high % isopropyl alcohol.
@@omrydadon67 we didn't have Google back then to know this lol
i love how when they play slightly better or just beat the 1st level they be like "i'm the best" or "i could be the world champion of this game" and i was like "the 5 years old me could play better than that" 😂
As a child of the 80s I grew up on NES as a teen. Ugh, watching this makes me feel old. At least these kids are having fun and are recognizing that the first Nintendo console was really fun to play!
I'm 50.And I can't play many of today's games very well.
But to this day, I can STILL beat Ghosts 'n Goblins with no cheats, no save states, no tricks, and pretty easily, no exaggeration. (and for those that don't know, in addition to it's known difficulty in general, you also have to beat the game twice to really beat it. After you beat the last boss the first time, they send you all the way back to the beginning having to do it all over again.) In fact, one time I got all the way through both runs, all the way to the last level of the second run on one guy.I'm making one of my life goals to beat the game completely on one guy.

GEN X STREET CRED REPRESEEEEEEEEENT
I’m a gen Z in my mid to late teens and I was playing NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and N64 games on my Wii U before I was even 9. I own both of the classic Mega Man Legacy Collections on Switch and have been an avid fan of the original 2D Mario games since I was introduced to the franchise. Heck, Super Mario World is one of my favorite 2D platformers ever and I’ve also nearly memorized the level layouts of the first world in the original SMB. I actively participate in the Classic Mega Man fandom to this day too. I once asked some other teens my age if they had ever heard of Dig Dug and was devastated. I even own an Arcade 1up with tons of classic arcade games by Namco (DIG DUG FOR LIIIIIIIFFFFEEE). I’m not huge on Punch Out, but I’m still decently well aquatinted with it and it’s remake (though I don’t own a Wii to played the remake). Sonic 2 was my first Sonic game and I continue to be a Classic Sonic fan (though in terms of story I like Modern Sonic too. I own both Adventure games and plan to play them soon). I do own a real SNES and a few cartridges (including DKC2 [K. Rool is the best DK villain and you can’t change my mind]) but I have yet to test if it actually still works. I can’t believe this kids went all of their lives without these amazing classics. Being a gen Z doesn’t mean you can’t adore these classics like I did. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk and reading my giant wall of text lol.
TLDR; I’m a teen gen z and I love old video games and don’t understand why these kids haven’t played them yet.
I got my first NES when I was probably 6 years old. Some of us just grew up playing games.
nice gaming resume 👽
Based zoomer
It brought me back to my childhood seeing these games again. At least these young people liked most of them, and mostly appreciated them for the classics they are.
The only problem I have with this video is that you didn't provide the teens with an important item that was provided with each NES game... the 10-is page game manual...
"I feel like they should give instructions."
Oh, my sweet summer child...
Sad thing is I’m 50 and I still struggle with these games like these kids. Besides punch out. I’m not losing to glass joe….. ever
I can't believe people actually loose to him.
wanted to see them fight Mr Sandman haha
@@raccoon681 The game plays weird, it happens.
I'm ashamed to admit I lost to Glass Joe once. Was half asleep and probably should have gone to bed, but I thought heck, I'll just play some punch out real quick. When he beat me down, I woke up immediately. I then proceeded to wallop everyone up to the punch drunk King before sleep finally claimed me. There's no way I could sleep after that embarrassment and had to reclaim some lost pride.
"should be easy cause less buttons" 😂 bless your heart, some nes games were some of the hardest
soul crushers : D
Cheap af
if you guys still have an old tv and the zapper, let them play Duck Hunt.
let's see who will lose their sh** when the dog laughs at them.
there was a Duck Hunt episode in the old React.
These kids cant even beat glass joe .... our world is doomed.
I never thought I would see Glass Joe win.
This is why gen z will cost us WW3
"Those poor 80's children"
..Kid, you have NO IDEA! 😅
Glass Joe picked up more wins in a day than he has his entire career 😂
These kids will never know the fun we adults had as kids of the 80s and 90s
Man, I feel so old watching this! I played Mario Bros to no end when I was a kid!
7:43 "I wouldn't download that game" DOWNLOAD, so cute
Well technically he would "download" the game if he wanted to play it now without access to an NES.
What's wrong with that? To play these games today you have to download them.
0:34 I laughed so hard at this. The NES had some of the most difficult, unforgiving games ever.😄
i reflexively pointed at my screen and laughed out loud
Nintendo hard is even harder than Dark Souls.
I’ve never seen anyone ever get knocked down by glass Joe, to get KO’d is just embarrassing 😂😂
“Those poor 80s children” at Ghosts N Goblins. I’m glad someone finally understands me after all these years lol
Utterly Heartwarming to see the young embrace the video games we all adored growing up. This was smile inducing
The level of nostalgia for me… I can’t believe you brought bubble bobble. My god I loved that game
😂😂😂😂Glass Joe got his first victory in 37 years!
I was hoping he would put the code in to take them straight to Mike Tyson.
I believe Mike Tyson is still the hardest final boss of any games. (Excluding bullet hell shooters.)
If they thought any of these games were hard, they should have played Ninja Turtles, Battle Toads, or Contra. Those games were my first ever rage quits when I was younger.
TMNT is ridiculous
The producer chose violence for the end ... 🤔
Ghost and goblins is brutal 😅
She said I think it's going to be easier because there's less buttons 😂😂😂
Make them play ninja gaiden
This!
I find it to be much easier than Ghosts n Goblins.
@@Tadoka_InamoI agree. Ninja Gaiden is on par w Mega Man 2 & Castlevania. GnG is in its own class - you gotta really be committed!
@@udance4ever at least those you only need to beat once
As a soon to be 41 yo guy I love seeing these kids enjoy the games of my childhood!
They seemed to have genuine fun. That's the important thing. The NES was pure fun and bliss for kids back then, a true revolution.
This is heartwarming. Makes me nostalgic of my youth playing these for the first time. I still play NES games almost daily, but there's something special about playing through blind the first time. Great video!
Watching teenagers play something I played when I was 4 years old makes me feel like I should be excavated in Egypt 💀
Love these kids! They are very humble and enjoyable to watch them play NES games.
It would be fun to see them all try Battletoads.
That was funny. "These poor eighties children." Ghost and Goblins had that when it first came out used to drive me nuts 😂😂😂AWESOME show keep up the good work 👏
“Hello these poor 80s children”… now you know our pain, lol. 🎉🎉😂
"These poor 80s children" 😂
That had me cackling in laughter, because it's so true... some of those games were torture. And she'd not even scratched the surface of how infuriating Ghost'n Goblins is 🤣
They have no idea how much easier games have really gotten over the years. Well actually maybe now they do 😂
Yep, the addition of save points and unlimited retries was a game changer. You were pretty much expected to finish a game in one sitting during the 80's. Accidental console resets due to power fluctuations/surges or someone accidentally stepping on/nudging the console's power adapter/cable was super rage inducing.
It’s crazy how 40 years ago you could pop in a game and play instantly but 40 years later we have to wait like 5 minutes for it to finish loading 😂😂
Seeing these kids that would absolutely wreck me in current games getting schooled on a 40 year old system has made my day.
''I think this will be easy because the controller only has two buttons.'' Wrongo! 😆
NES: I'm about to end this whole man's career!
bring in some parents that grew up on NES
let the kids fail at it for a bit
then let the parents dominate
Yes! Parents v teens!
Agreed. This NEEDS to happen.
Did she just beat the Megamen 2 level first try??? Wow! I'm impressed
9:57 - They do given instructions. In the instruction manual, which React chose not to provide... for content. Modern games include instructions in the game because manuals are no longer a thing (sadly).
Im born 1984. These games are my childhood. There were no tutorials. You fail, learn and adapt.
One of my friends bought an empty note book for Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 and wrote her own walk throughs by trial and error. So legendary
Same here, born in 1984. You and I had a very similar childhood.
Bro... these games from the 80's and 90's came with manuals when you buy them new. -born in 81'.
@@Batman-jm7np Manuals, not tutorials/walk-throughs. Nintendo Power magazine was the OG. The Final Fantasy strategy guide was awesome.
I'm from 1984 too. While I adore the graphics and sound and some play style of old games, I don't miss the terrible game design which has come a long way. I don't often go back and play old games but I love retro style modern games that look and sound the same but have modern game design. Stuff was just too hard back then for me who is just ok at games, so many games I could barely get through and pissed me off.
Angel tho on that Mega Man 2..... YOU GO GIRL!
"Which one was Mega Man?"
I feel a great sadness...
Still it was great to see these teens enjoying some classic games. An experience does not need to be modern to be fun!
11:37 they made it to Metal Man? That's amazing!
Give them the normal games, then hit them with Ghosts & Goblins. Brutal.
I’m 37 and I didn’t know it was possible to lose to glass Joe and them playing Super Mario without holding the run button still bothers me like it did back in the day
I’m 46 and I had to stop the video part way…it was painful. I know that I was probably that bad at these games at first when I was a kid, but it’s rough to watch when I’ve played these so many times. I still play a lot of these with my son and he doesn’t understand how I can breeze into the World Circuit on punch out with ease, or beat the NES Mario games or Contra.
You cannot get the full Punch Out experience until you make it all the way to Mike Tyson... only to get knocked out by 1 punch.
I'm honestly glad I grew up playing nes and sega Genesis. That era there wasn't walkthroughs. It was just pure raw problem solving and learning by failure over and over again.
This is why when I was raising my son, who is almost 20 now, NES was the first system I let him play....after Leapfrog. After he got good, he graduated to Genesis. Then he graduated to N64 and PS1. The old games are so much more fun to play, and harder than games now.
They should've played Contra. They would have constant rage quits lol
if they didn't have them on Ghosts 'n' Goblins, why would they have them on Contra? rage quit needs time to develop.
@@AndyKusanagi86 Contra has tons of Rage Quits
Watching these kids play makes me feel the same way as when I’d watch my parents try to play…
I’ve never seen glass Joe clean house…ever 😂
Hahahaha same 😂
Kinda made me sad to watch.
"I think it's going to be easy, there aren't that many buttons to click"
Mike tyson has entered the chat
This console was a legendary. It opened the door to gaming as we know today that it even got a mini version 3 decades later.
atari 2600 did that
@@SoyAntonioGamingThere was a gaming crash in th early 80s after that and and Nintendo is pretty much what bought gaming back.
@@chucky110 To be fair, the crash was only in North America. If you lived in Japan, for example, gaming culture was seamless.
"Those poor 80's children"... I felt that. 😂
Games made us smarter back in the day. We had to remember all the patterns
Especially the Contra code 😁
@@mrjohnklake agreed
Beating Ghosts N Goblins all the way through both times was one of the best accomplishments of my young life, matched by Aladdin on the Genesis. I clearly peaked very early 😂
How cruel it is giving them ghost and goblin loll
Absolutely😂
That game is unbalanced beyond belief, I couldn't even beat it with save states.
Think back.
Really think about this too..
When ! Did you last heard about ANYONE losing to Glass Joe .???
Seriously think about that 😂😂
This might honestly be the first time I've ever seen it, lol.
If you haven't played to Duck Hunt on the NES, you haven't fully experienced the NES
