Shoutout to Japanese people actually taking care of their things. I'll never understand why Americans use their game discs as coasters and drag their consoles behind their cars.
Except that damn near every Famicom, Super Famicom, white Saturn and PC Engine will come extra yellowed or stinking from cigarette tar caked onto them when you get one from Japan. I don't know if I'd say they take care of their sh1t. LOL!
Don't worry, RGT. I spoiled myself with an 86-inch tv, overpriced ps5 pro, and surround sound this Christmas . I absolutely needed this in my life & It's not going to buy itself.
@@mkendall8393 Yeah im sticking with my PS4 Pro until I see something to be a true PS5 game worth getting one for unfortunately lol.. There's a few id like to try and wish were on the PS4 or PC like Astrobot, but im not going to buy a PS5 just for those few games so far. Otherwise i can use my PC to play games at Higher-Res.. I also have the Xbox Series X and with Game Pass Ultimate, its been pretty nice between the Xbox and PC Games. I had PSNow (sp?) for alittle bit or whatever the PS4's equivalent of was, and it was okay but was missing the good games. I kept it for the month and looked for some used games for it.. I literally have bought maybe 1-2 game's per year so far with the Xbox/PC and Game Pass.. Gamepass is great and has the games literally the day they come out and has been pretty much been worth it to me every month.. Had i known i was going to get a gaming pc slightly after my Xbox Series X, I would have waited and bought the PS5 instead of the Xbox though. Mostly because most games that are on the Xbox, are on the PC as well, and even some PS game's now too. So it wouldve had made more sense for me to have the PS5 instead of the Xbox for the variety of games and having a different console.. However being able to play both and have the game saves sync and all that is pretty nice between the Xbox and my PC..
Buyer's remorse is an important thing. It lets you know not to make that mistake in the future. Clearly you have it rn 😅 If you don't need it, don't get it. Unless there's a great deal. The older I get, the more strict I get on what I spend money on
just for your own info in the future if you sell the gold n64 in the future, like you did with some of your collection: Japanese n64 systems weren't sealed, they were just Styrofoam backs of the enclosure. Unfortunately your controller isn't new, it's missing the bag on the controller wire... so it's probably just lightly used. ggs though, looks relatively clean.
RGT I fully get buying Christmas gifts for yourself! Rewarding yourself for the hard work you did throughout the year is what life is all about! So yes I get why you bought the gold N64 and you will never play it, but instead, will only display it! You brought back so many memories for me with the Dreamcast. I had bought the Dreamcast on release day and really loved it! I totally agree with you that buying a modded Dreamcast was the way to go! I love that VGA to HDMI adapter and feel it’s well worth it! The fact that the Dreamcast games look do good in HDMI is a tribute to how great the people that programmed them were at the time.
'You know what you want to get for xmas and you're family is really not going to understand it'. Yep that in a nutshell. Over the years can't tell you how many times I've been asked what I'd like and mention what I do like eventhough I know that I'm probably going to end up getting it for myself and they go in with the misunderstandings. Its how it is. :/
I bought loads of games, dvds, and a PS Vita for myself. Then goodie bags and gift cards for family and a friend. I need time to financially recover as well.
I don't know/care how much you paid for that console but if it makes you feel better, i paid an unholy amount of money for a Voltes V figure a couple of years ago and still don't regret it. As long as it gives you a smile on your face and makes you happy, that's what really matters!
I was starting to think you bought another car over the internet lol. Hope you and a Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year, the channel has never been better.
Fun fact. The VMU was also a big part of the game Sonic Shuffle. It would be used to see your own deck of cards during gameplay. If you had 4 controllers with VMUs it could be a fun experience!
I'm getting some money soon from an inheritance, and I'll be spending a portion of it to mod all my retro consoles, shell swap them, and mod the controllers into Bluetooth controllers. It'll be financially damaging to me too but the stuff isn't going to buy itself.
That adapter sounds good. I see they have versions for other consoles. What I’m wondering is- can’t you just get a general rca to hdmi adapter? Then basically any of the older consoles should work?
I am learning English and I love all your videos, this is the Best way to practice my listening skills. You have the Best channel about videogames. I live in colombia and in my childhood N64 was extremely expensive only nobody in my neighborhood bougth one, we had to go to videogames stores and pay to play for hours, we had to rent it.
I loved Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast. The VMU would beep when you were near a specific kind of hidden item. I think there was also mini games on the VMU.
Super dope console!! I still have an OG Crispy CIB N64 because it was my first console growing up i had to have it! Crazy how long ago i pre-ordered your book and still has not arrived.
Great video despite the click-baitish title. 🤣 I guess when taken as hyperbole, the title is fine. But it had me thinking you leased a car or bought a bunch of arcade machines, haha.
Happy you got your Dreamcast back RGT. I got blessed and happened to be in the Retro Game store (Cybertron) when a mint system was being traded in. As they were testing the games I got sent back to 1999 when I got mine, man I played those demo disc for hours 😂... so I ended up purchasing it before the game store even got a price tag on it 😊 Bought a couple controllers and now me and my sons play Power Stone 💎 and Ready 2 Rumble 🥊
All i wanted to know was if zombie revenge was on your dreamcast. Thank you for going backward to Z so i could see that it was. Best dreamcast game ever. Great video, sir!
I bought a Funtastic Grape N64 a couple years back. I like purple things. And I like translucent plastic electronics products. Remember the first line of all-in-one iMac’s? I bought the 500 million edition PS4 Pro when it came out too. I bought two Japan exclusive PS2 consoles. One, Ocean Blue, the other Midnight Blue. With all these translucent blue consoles, I finally pulled the trigger and got a Japan exclusive Kasumi-Chan edition first generation Xbox. It was a Dead or Alive tie-in and was, you guess it, translucent blue. What I’d really like is a translucent PS3. I put a 1TB HDD in my PS3 slim and still use it a lot. Unfortunately, they never made a clear version. I have multiple DualShock Crimson Red and Cosmic Blue DualShock controllers, but the console itself is pretty boring. Anyway, nice to see I’m not the only 40 year old man wasting money on bullshit. By the way, do you have the most recent Zelda edition Gold Switch Lite? I don’t know why Nintendo doesn’t release more special edition joy cons and systems. They’re leaving money on the table. I would buy anything Nintendo made if it was Atomic Purple.
During your intro I was starting to think that you may have bought the New York Knicks, it felt like it was leading up to you saying that. 😅 Maybe one, a UA-camr can always dream, reach for the stars and the Knicks shall be yours.
Dude... You cant just not use it once. You have to fire it up one time... just once. Play some Mario 64 or something on it... maybe for a couple hours. Then shelve it forever. At least that is what I would do.
Why not sit and cry infront of a video game collection, say you "can't afford this" and e-beg like someone else did when they used copyrighted material....... Oh wait no you have integrity which is why I love this channel. Keep the stuff coming lad.
I don't think they're that questionable. Personally I should mod the dreamcast I have as I forgot that the disc laser thing is a problem with the dreamcast so thanks for the reminder.
I like this! So we watch RGT videos to get money to save the Tiger King from prision?... something like that?... I wasn't paying much attention by the end.
Here I thought Nintendo was suing their #1 UA-camr
Lmao!!!!! 😂
RGT is not a Nintendo UA-camr.... he has professed it probably 10,001 times!!!!
Lmao
He promised to not dress up like Mario.😂
@@gabrielshepardyea, he is.
Its still early 😆
The dreamcast was so ahead of its time.
Still one of my favorite consoles to play on.
Great system that unfortunately not enough people took a chance on in 1999... 🥲
Yeah it was
How was it? It was like the final console of the previous gen imo
Shoutout to Japanese people actually taking care of their things. I'll never understand why Americans use their game discs as coasters and drag their consoles behind their cars.
I'll never understand why the abuse. I try and keep my stuff in good condition and clean.
Except that damn near every Famicom, Super Famicom, white Saturn and PC Engine will come extra yellowed or stinking from cigarette tar caked onto them when you get one from Japan. I don't know if I'd say they take care of their sh1t. LOL!
@@snake098765I hate that I sold my mint systems while people absolutely destroy theirs.
It’s not just Americans but westerners in general and we can learn a lot from Japan when it comes to cleanliness.
@@Adamtendo_player_1in japan they have nothing, only in America is it what we are with so many things

Dude regrets selling his collection.
Oh my God it's Stevie Richards
What? Stevie is a really great guy!!
Only the OG's remember that intro 😂😂😂😉
I miss that!
@@iDanPrakashNeverdying RGT85 classic!😢🥺😅❤
RGT just wanted to play with Seaman on Dreamcast.
I love ❤❤❤ Seaman
His copy of Seaman on Dreamcast.
RIP Dreamcast, great system way ahead of it's time
My guy is thinking for the future... holiday 2026 title "why I sold my game collection again " LOL
Headline: "Middle aged gamer buys himself Dreamcast and gold plated N64 for Xmas... and he looooovvvves it.."
Good for you, do what makes you happy. Life's short, no one knows when our switch is flipped so do you. ❤
It is important to treat yourself every now and then, so enjoy your new gifts. Happy New Year!
Tired of clickbate. It’s everyone now.

Nobody *needs* to schill for Sonys money printing PS5 pro. Nobody should be rewarding them for that.
Your house must look really nice!
Still waiting for the first true PS5 games that aren’t upscale sports from PS4. Maybe we will get that with GTA VI

RGT is going to have to make a only fans
I like wrestling too!😂
Please no
😂
😳🤢🤮

Cue the Austin powers I love golddddd😅
You can not put a disclaimer in a video when you already have the views click bait to the fullest
Yeah, unsubscribed.
@@opa-ageits not even clickbait though
A can of gold spray paint would have been more economical...🙂
🤣
And turned out better
And people like you are the reason we have global warming
3:35 "YEAH SON, I DO, WHAT ABOUT IT!" Lmao Your the N64 game console god now
RGT is sounding like a kid explaining to his parents to hear him out! 😂
“I LIKE…GOLD!” 😂 Yeah, Baby. Oh behave baby yeah. 😂
No jokes allowed!
Happy Holidays Sean!

0:20 nothing but facts so far....
This lol
I bought the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection for PS4 to play on PS5. I refused to buy it digitally, so I waited for the physical release.
I’ve been thinking about modding a Dreamcast myself, this may have just convinced me…
2025 will be year of RGT 85
'You know what you want to get for xmas and you're family is really not going to understand it'. Yep that in a nutshell.

"Your family is not going to understand it". Yep...felt that one.
Dude sells off most of his retro gaming collection, then proceeds to buy more retro gaming stuff to sit around and collect dust
Gold N64?
"Can I paint his yoo-hoo gold now? It's kind of my thing, you know..."
A working Dreamcast is always a good purchase.
Suppose you know there is an active online community for Dreamcast with the Dreampi network.😎👍
I bought loads of games, dvds, and a PS Vita for myself. Then goodie bags and gift cards for family and a friend. I need time to financially recover as well.
"I need this in my life", "I get it, I don't need this"
I don't know/care how much you paid for that console but if it makes you feel better, i paid an unholy amount of money for a Voltes V figure a couple of years ago and still don't regret it. As long as it gives you a smile on your face and makes you happy, that's what really matters!
Well, like you, I also got a Gold Nintendo 64, the American Toys 'R Us one. It was only $120 loose, without the box. It was an absolute steal!
It's an old meme, but it checks out.
I was starting to think you bought another car over the internet lol. Hope you and a Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year, the channel has never been better.

I love your channel. you always help me unwind.
You sold your whole video collection, in a few years you can do it all over again 😂
My favorite nintendo youtuber
The GTA 3 Dreamcast port (DCA3) has just been completed and released. Perfect timing for that new Dreamcast of yours 😊
Looks like I'll have to create a GoFundMe for all of Shawn's 2025 endeavors
Oh you’re definitely back to collecting! Maybe not to the same level as before, but you’re definable slowly going back. Welcome back! 😂😂
The Dreamcast looks crystal clear. If you could advise were you purchased the Dreamcast GMU please.
This is the time of the year where this happens.
Next time on RGT85...
"Ok, so I bought a NeoGeo "..😅✌️
Dreamcast 4 life, Thank you for the HDMI converter link.
I'm gonna start playing Capcom vs SNK 2 again.
You can’t tell me how to live my life RGT I’m taking this seriously. I hope you financially recover
I'm getting some money soon from an inheritance, and I'll be spending a portion of it to mod all my retro consoles, shell swap them, and mod the controllers into Bluetooth controllers. It'll be financially damaging to me too but the stuff isn't going to buy itself.

Looks awesome, dude. Congrats!
I use the Kaico N64 equivalent, and it works very well. Honestly, when you combine it with an M Classic as well, it's just top notch.

The value of that gold n64 and dreamcast will only go up.
Man I remember when these gold n64s came out
No one wanted them
"Italians like shiny objects" Lol
The Dreamcast is the most badass looking system ever
It doesn't matter how much it cost. Glad you treated yourself.
And so the collection begins again 😂
I loved Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast. The VMU would beep when you were near a specific kind of hidden item. I think there was also mini games on the VMU.
Love the pick ups RGT! That gold N64 is one of my favorites too 😁
Super dope console!! I still have an OG Crispy CIB N64 because it was my first console growing up i had to have it!

Have mine hooked up to a 21 inch Sony trinitron crt monitor. To get that vga signal. Love it

This summer i bought a dreamcast with 4 controllers, 4 vmus , and 8 games for 5 bucks at a garage sale
Not gonna lie. I thought he bought a PS5 Pro or some kind of car.
This is the best outcome. Beautiful N64 and a sweet Dreamcast? Money well spent.
You wanted the gold one, but the cheaper-gold one. Smooth.

Ill be paying a visit to your house gold boy, me and dreamcast guy will love your gold
Install the Noku fan to the Dreamcast if not already installed makes it silent and do the cmos battery mod 👍🏻

This man has learned nothing from the Mercedes
Owning something like a gold n64 a good investment. It probably be worth alot 20 years from now
your insane Goldmember !
Bro, is gonna have to sell the collection in 12 years all over again
RGtendo dodged a bullet
RGT having a Retro holiday season
Financial ruin is the reason for the season 😂
Glad you got some fun stuff, though!
Now you need the ocarina of time gold cart, though…
Did you measure the latency on the display adapter?
That's definitely how they came, the jp version is sick
Is there a difference in the USA version vs the Japanese version of the gold n64 other than the box?
1:50 I thought it was gonna be that gold plated Wii that someone tried to give to the Queen
