Nintendo. Xbox. PlayStation. These things, seem immortal.
But alas, they are but new creations by man.
Except nintendo that stuffs pretty old.
Today I want to go over a bunch of things, listing games like halo, like the pokemons, the Marios, even a Fortnite, just to make you feel old.
Now obviously the effect of this will depend on your age.
If you’re just hitting 20, it probably isn’t gonna be nearly as surprising to hear some of this as somebody in their 30s. And so on and so forth.
This is just for fun. Or to make you feel old.
You decide.

"Donkey Kong Country Returns Returns" is what got me. We're living in the age of double nostalgia: Being nostalgic for things that originally made us nostalgic for something before that. When will we reach triple nostalgia?
A nostalgception if you will
Fun fact: mid-century modern design was itself a nostalgia for the 1920s. That itself got nostalgia’d in the late-90s early-00s, and people are now nostalgic for _those._ We’ve already hit triple-nostalgia
I'd take it, Returns is a wonderful game honestly

Somewhere after all physical releases and non live service titles cease to exist so that we can be sold a subscription service for reactions to lets plays of these old games.
The classical Romans are as old to us today as the ancient Egyptians were to the classical Romans.

The latest New Super Mario Bros game being 12 years old just feels weird. Those games still feel "recent" to me.
I guess you could say "new"
Fuck. I'm replaying Fallout 4, and in my head it's a new game..

Fr I got it for Christmas in 2015 and only played it for like an hour that night. It’s still sitting in my drawer idk why I never played it.
I have the OG Xbox that I got when I was 12 sitting in my living room. I am 32 now....Jesus. What really messes me up is that I spilled some orange juice on the controller when I was 12 and never fully cleaned it up. The D pad still sticks sometimes...like...THERE'S STILL OJ IN MY CONTROLLER FROM WHEN I WAS LIVING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE 20 YEARS AGO. ...wow
I still have mine too but the fan is so loud and obnoxious I avoid playing it.
@@playlistenthusiastmaybe you should clean it?
Sweet little baby boy
My sticky D-pad is the gnarled-up thumb grip on my Gamecube controller, which sometimes falls-off in heated play.
For some reason (probably the autism tbh) I chewed it a lot from the ages 10-12. Especially in loading screens.
Once it fell off the first time I switched to more-appropriate chew toys, so it’s not gotten any worse! It’s just a perpetual reminder of, where I was in life back then.

Stuff from 2014-2017 being 9-7 years old is the stuff I see myself and others get tripped over a lot.
2017 just felt like such a modern year in so many ways, it's really kinda surreal for a lot of people to remember all the stuff around the mid 2010s is roughly close to a decade old now.
Just today, I was saying to someone “it’s so weird how the indyref vote was 10 years ago and Brexit’s vote was 8. British politics is still stuck on them, so it feels like it was yesterday”
@@kaitlyn__Lwelcome to America closing in on a decade stuck on Trump lmao
Buddy it's still 2017 for me
My boy, I still think the 2000s were only a decade ago.
the best time of my life 2017-2019 is just dust on the past :( so sad
I'm taking psychic damage from this information. Thanks cant wait for more.
Ocarina of Time 3D is as old now to the OG OoT to the 3DS Remake.
Everytime I hear “2008” or “2018”, I always think to myself “ah, so just last year”. Which one depends on the context of why the year was brought up.
If it’s video games or anime, I think “oh, 2018, just last year.”
If it’s movies or video game hardware, I think “oh, 2008, just last year.”
Once I got past feeling old, what is interesting is how it seems like seeing technology crawl relative to 15-20 years ago. Maybe more than technology, it shows the impact that extended development times for games and I think that changes my perception of how time has passed. Going from 1984-2004 to 2004-2024 really shows how steep the curve was back then, which isn’t obviously isn’t a new observation but this video really drives the point home for me.
I also found it interesting how Covid impacted my perception of time. Anything that came out after 2020 feels like it released yesterday, but anything from before that feels much older.
Part of that has to do with crypto farming and mining. Demand from farms led to higher end components being in short supply and driving market prices high. Shortages led to manufacturers continuing to only offer 8 to 16 GB of RAM for a long time out of necessity, but now that crypto hype has died down a bit and the parts are more available, the inflated prices are the limiting factor. A discount desktop from 2010 had 8 GB of RAM. Why the heck does a middle-of-the-road PC these days offer the same amount?
I think the reason why it seems so insane for gaming in particular besides the obvious you are older now and perceived time moves faster the older you get is that games take so much longer to release now. back in the day you'd get a new game in a series every 3 years or so in the 2000s and even every 1 to 2 years in the '90s. Now a new game in a series takes at least 5 years, often going up to 6 to 8 years. Thats one game a console generation if you're lucky.
@@Pepperham04that’s interesting. It’s affected my sense of time but differently. 2019 still feels like yesterday, so the fact it was 5 years ago sneaks up on me.
It was also around that time that all the new startups were becoming about crypto. A bunch of new tech was all focused on Crypto and NFTs, a bunch of companies basically looked into how to implement NFTs into stuff like video games, and anything and everything. The metaverse was getting hyped. Then the most obvious market crash in history happened. It's weird to think how Crypto just wiped away a few years of human progress. People poured their savings into nothing.@@OtakuUnitedStudio
The matter of fact is that innovation in graphics and gaming tech isn't as apparent as the leaps that were being made pre 2010's

The majority of gamers still play at 1080p. Graphics just aren't major selling points anymore since most people don't really care about whether or not we can see the sweat pores on a character model's face.

It's hard for me to accept that Xbox 360 and PS3 games can be considered "retro" gaming now...
Any console with dedicated 3d hardware, or any game that requires it will never be retro to me. Now get off my lawn. Cough cough wheeze.
@@ainlLeek N64 is pretty definitely retro though
Early PS4/3DS games could arguably be considered retro even.
People considered SNES games retro in the early 2000s and such, and we're past a decade of the PS4/3DS'a early years.
Retro is such a undefined subjective term in many ways, surreal to think about all these things.
they technically can't though. they are old, sure, but not retro. that generation left CRT TVs behind, adopted wireless controllers, widescreen, digital games, game updates, widespread netplay. they are fundamentally different to what came before. I don't think you will have such a difference ever again, unless games are directly played in our brains or something.
@@Bajolzas
Thing is, Retro as a term doesn't have a clear cut definitive ruleset of what is and isn't retro,
You could argue in favour of these things being retro,
It's a subjective openb interpretation in a number of ways.
I kept sinking further into my recliner the more this video went on LOL. I’m 36
Same, man, same.

@@DefaultFlame Fun fact, doctors and scientists today are estimating that with continuing development of healthcare and the prevalence of insurance coverage, our generation will have the first people who will live to be over 125 and the largest percentage of centenarians ever - 50 will be the new 40 for us, and we'll be in generally better health well past retirement age. Whether you believe any of this or not it entirely up to you.

I remember being a little kid and my parents introduing me to old Atari and Arcade games through Plug-and-Play consoles and being so enamored by retro gaming. Now it's weird realizing the DS I played is viewed the same way by kids today.

At 22 years, we are equidistant to the 2002 release of GTA Vice City, a game which encapsulates the 1980s, as the release date of that game is to the very start of the 1980s. By that logic, a game which is based in the early 2000s would be just as appropriate today as Vice City was to its release date.
I'm calling it now that Ubisoft will announce a Watch Dogs prequel set in 2003 and make the aesthetic all about early 2000s nostalgia. 2003 because that's when that massive blackout that the original Watch Dogs had made a serious effort to connect to its story happened.
I can very well imagine early/mid 2000s nostalgia being the new hot thing in media in the 2020s tbh
Us 2000s kids are now in our 20s and late teens and old enough to feel nostalgia for our childhoods, much like 80s and 90s nostalgia fueled the 2010s
Some days you have good one. Others your perception of time is shattered, stomped, even spat on. This is one of those days. Thanks Whimsu!
I'm saved from some of this just because I was born in 2001 and got to experience lots of these games years after release. Still rough info to have though. The Wii should not be as old as it is
Those “remakes after 10 years” examples just goes to show that basically anything from that point on doesn’t really need to be remade. Or that more time would have to pass to be worth it, just because of the diminishing returns of technology.
There’s gotta be some consolation, right? I feel like fewer games are releasing these days, and the longevity of games has increased?
There are A LOT more new games now than before
@@jdg1251 If you count indies, yes but there is definitively less AAA and AA releases.
I'm 36 I saw the electronic sign that says you must be born on or after 2-1-2003 to buy cigarettes. I'm thinking damn that was 18 years ago only to realize the new age is 21 years old. I know people my age that had kids in high school and those kids are old enough to buy alcohol and cigarettes. :((
Not to mention, considering you knew people who had kids in high school, some of those kids probably have kids by now.

I dunno If I’m “allowed” to feel old at only 17 but damn is it strange for the 90’s to be 30 years ago now. I was so used to it being 20 years ago. And things like the PS4 being 10 years old just feels odd and New Super Mario Bros. U being 12 years old is just odd.

Covid meant people didn't come to terms that the 2020s had started and we're nearly halfway through them. Time spent under lockdown was just a bubble. Like how people thought about the depression era 1930s, and the boom era of the 1950s, but the 1940s was just a time bubble where "The War" happened and not it's own decade in other ways.

I think the greater cause of this shock of how much time's past, reflects the stagnation if the industry as a whole. In the span between GTA 6 set to release and GTA V released, the entire GTA franchise was released the 15 years prior.
The last original console Mario Kart was a decade ago, before that we had almost 4 mario karts the decade prior.
Games and console cycles are lasting longer, as companies exploit different tactics (never ending remasters, live service, etc) to squeeze more money out of the consumer while providing far less than they did the decades before. I'm afraid the golden years of gaming are firmly in the rearview mirror now folks...
I think the reason why it seems so insane for gaming in particular besides the obvious you are older now and perceived time moves faster the older you get is that games take so much longer to release now. back in the day you'd get a new game in a series every 3 years or so in the 2000s and even every 1 to 2 years in the '90s.

Yesterday I was watching a playthrough of undertale when they mentioned the game being a bit old. I was shocked and appalled to learn it's almost 10 years old when I consider it one of the latest games
what I really notice more and more is that progress or just bigger changes in gaming seem to be happening slower and slower
In 1985, Sega launched the Master System (as the Mark III) in Japan. In 2001, 16 years later, Sega stopped manufacturing the Dreamcast. It's been 23 years since then.
You should have included Minecraft (2009) which is 15 this year. As old as Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and the PS1 were then.
Bruh... Better start looking for those senior discounts.
Why this is all so crazy is because of how technology grew for video games and began to slow down by the last 20 years. Games 20 and even 10 years before 2004 is way different in terms of power graphics and techniques that they are 20 and 10 years ago
For the longest time, you could remake a game from the previous generation and it’d look wildly new. If they remade a PS3 game on PS5, it’d barely be noticeable without a side-by-side comparison. It’s just not enough to be worth it.

GTA Vice City was a 2002 game set in 1986. If a game came out this year with that year difference it would be set in 2008 and Taylor Swift could be on the radio.
The Xbox 360 is becoming a retro console.
Crazy Fact: The very first video game ever, the Cathode-Ray-Tube Amusement Device (1947) at 77 years old is closer to the construction of the Eiffel Tower (1889) than to now or just as far away as 1870 was then. In other words it’s closer to the publishing of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1871) than to today and closer to the Old American Wild West as well.
that also makes it closer to the victorian age than to us. holy shit
I feel like this surprise people feel by realizing how old some games are is partially due to games having a longer lifespan than they would have in the past thanks to modding, DLCs, online gaming, etc. and also because graphics have sort of stagnated, for the last decade or so, there hasn't been great graphic improvements simply because there isn't much more that can be improved.
The moment you realize Pong (1972) is closer to the Great Depression than to now.
The entire video only works if you're over 30, as someone younger I have no concept of how old 80s things are (or early 90s)

This does blow my mind, trying to imagine being a kid growing up today, who's seeing all these games that were very competent actually being very old. For me, old games when I was a kid meant that they were *just* getting to the kind of graphical fidelity that pixel art was becoming pixel art and not just a few ugly sprites to represent a thing.
All this stuff being said, PS2 feels squarely vintage to me now though. PS3 to an extent as well.
Halo 5 releasing almost a decade ago honestly fucked me up ngl

As someone born in 2007 who’s currently 16 some examples of games I grew up with include Super Mario 3D World (2013) which is now as old as Mario Sunshine (2002) was then. Pikmin 3 (2013) which is closer to Pikmin 2 (2004) than to Pikmin 4 (2023) or now (2024). The Wii U (2012) is now as old the PS2 (2000) was then. Epic Mickey 2 (2012) is now closer to the GameCube (2001) than to now. The 2DS (2012) is closer to the OG Xbox (2001) than to now. Splatoon (2015) is now as old as the OG Wii (2006) was then. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (2014) is now as old as Pikmin 2 (2004) or GTA San Andreas (2004) were then. RDRI (2010) is now as old as Super Mario 64 (1996) was then. RDRII (2018) is now closer to GTA V (2013) than to now. GTA V (2013) is now as old as GTA Vice City (2002) was then. When GTA VI comes out in 2025 they’ll be kids younger than GTA V playing it, as if they weren’t kids already younger than GTA V playing it now. Mario Kart 7 (2011) is now as old as the Dreamcast (1998) was then. Super Mario Maker (2015) is closer to Super Mario Galaxy (2007) than to now. Mario Kart 8 (2014) is now as old as the DS (2004) was then. The Switch (2017) is now closer to the 3DS (2011) than to now). Breath of the Wild (2017) is now closer to Skyward Sword (2011) and Skyrim (2011) than to now. Super Mario Odyssey (2017) is now as old as Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010) was then. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018) is now as old as the Wii U (2012) was then. Super Mario Maker 2 (2019) is now as old as Captain Toad (2014) was then. The PS5 (2020) is now as old as the PS4 Pro (2016) was then. The Xbox Series X|S (2020) is now closer to the Xbox One X (2017) than to now. Elden Ring (2022) is now as old as Cyberpunk 2077 (2020) was then. TLOZ: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) is now as old as Elden Ring (2022) was then. Since it’s 2024, we are halfway between the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (2020) and the PS6 and the next Xbox (2028). Think about that. As of the writing of this comment it’s February 3, 2024 and the next Nintendo Direct is likely to occur on February 7, 2024 so only in 4 days. We could literally be only 4 days away from the Switch 2’s announcement. Absolutely insane to think about.
I’ve got a couple more for you. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for 3DS (June 2011) is now the same age that the original N64 version of Ocarina of Time (November 1998) was when 3D first released. Also, the release of Pong (1972) is midway between the start of Prohibition (1920) and the present day.
Yesterday, I purchased a PS5. I bought it nine and a half years after I bought my PS4, which I bought back in 2014. That was some 9 years after I bought my PS2, my first gaming console, at age 5. Yesterday, I felt old

Man, Mario Odyssey turning 7 this year does make me feel old. It came out a few days before my 17th birthday and my Dad got me the switch bundle. To this day thats the closest to launch I ever got a console. It felt so cool playing in handheld and showing my friends all the gimmicky gyro features.
It’s crazy how time just moves on without you noticing, until you look back like, “that was a decade ago??”
The one that kills me is that NES SMB and Mario 64 was around a decade. Sonic 1 and Sonic Adventure was less. Time flew fast with rapid exciting new consoles and games every year. A decade in gaming now? Your 1080p game is now re-released as 4k. Yay.
No destiny remake because Bungie is going to go out of business when Marathon fails. They have 2/3rds of the company working on an extraction shooter that every playtester said is simultaneously babies first extraction shooter and also worse gameplay than almost all of them.
Only 600 of their 2400 employees worked on the final destiny expansion. Less than half of the team that had worked on witch queen, their best. Lightfall was also undermanned and we saw how that turned out.
Destiny is dead and Bungie is killing it in a suicidal attempt to trendchase a genre thats niche and already slipping from relevance.

When he said halo 5 was released 9 years ago that one really hit me.
I was born in 2004 and I remember going over ot my friends house the day it released to play with him (he always invited me to play halo with him, idk maybe he had a crush beats me)
And we were both livid walking to GameStop for a refund cause it had no split screen.
I heard that statement and went “oh nooooo, I feel old 😂”
For me I think its partially the fact the 2015-2016 does not feel like it was that long ago, but also I feel it is much more difficulty to notice differences between the era's with the stagnation in graphics.
Burnout Paradise City is my cutoff for if a game was 'before my time' or not. Given it came out in 2008, 16 years ago... That means it's as old to us now as Street Fighter 2 was to it.
Appetite of Destruction featuring such hits like Welcome of The Jungle and Sweet Child for Mine
The reason games feel so weird at this particular moment is because we basically had 50 years of figuring out what was possible, then the PS4 era came along and it's finally leveled out.
*The fucking Xbox 360 can not be 20 years it simply can't, what the FUCK*
...I don't think you can invoke "Germany's breaking of the treaty of Versailles," then smash transition back into a war thunder ad read. there has to be a law against that, lol
Hey whismu
Man I was out here playing LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2 in 2012 and now I'm almost a grown ass man 💀
@3:11 this is NOT the box art I remember for Pokémon Emerald. Can anyone chime in on this?
No
to be honest, the gaming world seems to embrace more and more every era of gaming, almost making each phase their own sub genres of gaming. It seems like people are willing to pick up and play almost anything as long as it has merit and historicity 👍🏻
The moment you realize that the NES (1985 in the USA 🇺🇸) is closer to Stalin than to now.
I would argue that while the difference between the fourth and fifth generation of games are similar to when movies went from silent and black and white to color and sound, the difference between the sixth and ninth barely affects gameplay and so is unnoticable to most.
I think the shocking part is seeing how game advanced up to 2010~2013, and how stagnant the scene got since then.
Whimsu, I’m not sure what it is exactly about your style of video but you are one of the most entertaining people to watch on UA-cam, I think personally you’re up there with like OverSimplified or Sam O’Nella for how easy it is to get me to tune in. Thank you
The only one these that really made me feel old was the Mario Odyssey one.
The Switch was the first console I ever bought with my own money. Wow.
windows vista being 17/18 years old is what fucks with me most
millennial experiences aging:
They should rebrand the New Super Mario Bros. Games to Old at this point
I ain't gonna lie, i don't get none of these time comparisons. But i like the way the diagrams look😂
As someone who's in their 30s I hated these facts, but I loved your video.
What messes with me the most is that Vice City was set 16 years prior to its release in 2002. Vice City came out 22 years ago.
That last fact rooted me, ruined the whole rest of the video tbh, my immersion is gone, and reality makes sense 😢
