NESComplex NES Review and Retrospective Super Nintendo SNES Collection Super Metroid The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past Nintendo 64 N64 Retro Gaming Is it fun? Nintendo Power Time Machine Retro Rewind
Not sure which makes me happier; Getting to be a part of one of your videos, or knowing that you enjoy Ice Hockey more than Blades of Steel. I'll have to think on this. Excellent video and a fun concept. Thanks so much again, my man.
Well your art has made me very happy! BotW Link looks on at NES Hyrule! I love it!!!
Very humbled and thrilled, sir :) Was a thrill to work with you on it.
You both did a great job on this episode. Mr. ReNesance your work is amazing!
@@venvon6433 Thanks so much, Ven Von!
@Orangefish XD Appreciate it, thanks.
Well ...now I'm happy 🙌
You make me happy my man 👨🏻
Riff you make me happy that you turned me onto NESCOMPLEX.....
@Orangefish XD You ARE crazy and this IS cool! Thank you so much. I love the Retro Community and passion like yours and Pixel Game Squads gives the nostalgic hobby a future. Please play Beatles Rock Band with Riff, it's beautiful game!
Tingles in the dingles is happiness . 😊

Never clicked a notification faster!
I hope it was worth it! What do you think about this kind of video?
@@NESComplex loved it dude! The Indy Jones cut scenes we're great. And your "Grail game" still eludes me! Great find
Same
Schrodinger's Mega Man. By not opening you own both the blue and white carts.
I love this concept. It will definitely be mentioned in the next episode
@@NESComplex Oh wow, neat!
Just open the games crazy man why have a game and not play it 😠😠😂
Open the damn megaman game i wanna see if its blue glow in the dark and i know you do too .........
The world needs more NESComplex!
Awwwwws. I love you too Bootleg
NES is the BES
Oh dude, you gotta open up the MM2 and MMX boxes to see if you got one of the Ultra, Super Duper, Mega Rare Blue Carts.
Yes, games are meant to be opened. Do it.
I love your channel so much- The dedication and effort put into these videos is always beyond entertaining. Thanks, NESComplex. You rock dude.
Thank you smash! I definitely put everything I am into every video I make
What did you do?? Are the Megamans still sealed? I have to know!!
Edit: Just watched the next episode. Sweet relief.
This is awesome. Loved seeing an art from ReNesance. Cool pick ups.
Thank you! Are you a collector too?
Dude, open the mega man games! I opened mine... both normal. Realize theyre repros. Thats how i got myself to open them.
I think you're right... the "open it" voices have been much louder than the "keep it sealed" crowd
Loved the game showcase here! Also, so happy to see The ReNesance getting some recognition here. I caught a stream when he was working on your commission and as a lover of the original Zelda, I'm floored to see old and new come together so beautifully.
He forgot to add the Goriya bait on the cliff. Lol. Thanks man!
I love everything NES. I love everything about it! So many memories! Thank you for all the work you do to put these videos together! As a fellow educator, I understand your lack of free time.
I’m glad you can recognize it man. Teaching 😑. Lol. Did this bring back any specific memories?
Yes, I remember being so excited to play the X-Men game! I traded Top Gun for it and I immediately regretted it with in the first 20 seconds. I rationalized it by saying to myself at the title screen was cool! Lol it’s still a funny memory and I play it at least once a year to relive that 7th grade moment.
Open up those boxes! Personally I think the white cart for MMX looks better than the gimmicky glow in the dark one anyway.
We will see. I’m gonna open them next episode of RetroQuest
The Megaman's are pretty much repros, so I opened mine up. Chances of a blue aren't high (only X for me was), but doubt leaving them sealed does anything for value
If you're ever around the LA area, 1up Video Games in Covina has a lot retro stuff.
I sent in some sketches to the Mega Man boss contest. I was in 4th grade, so I'm sure all of my drawings sucked.
That's awesome! I wish i could see them. Do you remember any of the boss name suggestions?
@@NESComplex I remember that I made 8 bosses, hoping all 8 would be selected. The only one boss that I recall drawing was Candy Man and that he had a lollypop body and shot out gumballs as his weapon lol
I really enjoyed this video. You should really do more of this type!
SNEStalgia! What’s up? I will do more definitely
I loved gyromyte. I play with 2 controllers
Ice hockey! Always had fun with it!
What a great video! From the nostalgia to the humor to the ending to the tight reviews, it's all so good!
Yes! The Texas Rangers approve! Seriously. Thank you so very much
Mint in box.....you don't mess with mint in box
I looooove Captain Skyhawk!
Loved playing it with my old NES flight stick.
I still have my copy sitting in the living room in my Entertainment System.
You have good taste man. I can’t think of any other NES games really like it. Can you?
This was probably my favorite games on the NES. Have you guys seen any games like this on the switch?
@@NESComplex isometric flight shooter? Nope. I can't think of any other games that are quite like Captain Skyhawk
Ice Hockey is one of the best two- player games of all time. You can get in fights by the way; they don't show punches though. It's great you can customize player body type. Love, Bob
23 + minute episode? Jackpot!
Haha. Could be 23 minutes you never get back. Lol. Any thoughts on the episode. I’m undecided on this series
I feel most "game hunting" shows spend too much time on Storage Wars-style fluff. I appreciate you got down to business and discussed your pick-ups. Your style of humor and nostalgia is what makes your content so good. No need for fluff, you just being you is what we all come for. I also like that you called it RetroQuest and not RetroGameQuest. Makes me believe you aren't shoehorning yourself into games. Hell, review an old box of The Real Ghost Buster's cereal!
Awesome pickups!!! I definitely need to look out for some of these. I love ReNesance! Met him a few times and his channel is definitely underrated! You made me spit my water when you said the Fat guy in Ice Hockey. I love that game so much. Definitely part of my childhood. Thanks for sharing! :)
The most nostalgic Indiana Jones game for me, is Indiana Jones And His Desktop Adventure. I remember the first time a computer was brought into my childhood home, it was my brother's, it was a 486 I think, I could be wrong about that, running Windows 95 I know that for sure, and this was at an age for me when I did not know there was Greatest Adventures on SNES, and I almost never knew what games there were for the console unless my brother showed me new ones or got me into ones that he liked. Anyway, Desktop Adventure was really fun. I wish that I could get that game to run on Windows 10 these days.
I did eventually get Greatest Adventures, sometime between 2002 and 2005, and it's one of my favorite SNES games.
Thank you for mentioning me and I’m glad to hear that you liked Super Adventure Island. I have had it since I was a kid and it just so colourful and the soundtrack is amazing. Apparently the last boss is a nightmare but I haven’t managed to get there yet. Also I really dig this style of pickup video Chris and would def like to see more.
Of course I’m going to mention you. You were the reason I had my eye out for that game. Also you’re my YT brother
Honestly, pickups videos have lost their appeal to me. However, I really enjoyed this style. If you keep making these, I'll watch them for sure.
I understand... I have similar reservations. That’s why I’m trying to up the production value of the format. Any suggestions or feedback would be great!
The only Pick Ups channels I watch are ones that include gameplay..... Thanks for taking the time and effort to do that
I agree.. i really wanted to discover what people enjoy about pick up videos. i want to bottle that up and put it in each episode. Thank you for the feedback. What do you enjoy about pick up videos, other than gameplay>
@@NESComplex I like to hear peoples story with the game they found, If they have one.... Might sound weird, but thats why I still love Retro Gaming, is just the memories with the games and stuff, so I like hearing other peoples stories
SOOO GLAD to see NeSComplex videos on the reg!!!!! Thanks buddy, Great video!
AND! Let me add.... PLEASE open the Mega Man games!
I don’t know if I can do it! But I’ll take your recommendation and think on it!
@@NESComplex completely understood!
Sealed video games are a crime against humanity. Video games deserve to be played, not sit in their original box, still vacuum packed, for all time.
It is alyways cool to see you back! You should keep the Mega Man games sealed as a reminder of the futility of glorified limited repros.
As of now it’s 20 votes to open it and six votes to keep it sealed. At this point I’m kind of thinking on the next episode I’m going to open it.
I sent in HerpMan and CyphliticMan (AKA DripMan) to the Nintendo Power contest.
Rad Racer.... that was such a common arcade machine, I used to always get 1-3rd place in every arcade I could, every hotel, every casino... I didn't have a fun abbreviation of my name, so I'd always just replace the top score with "AAA"
If you remember that happening ~1990-1995 around upstate NY, you probably got beat by a 5-10 year old. I think there was *ONE* Howard Johnson's hotel that required like 3 dollars to replace all your top scores. Otherwise, it was a joke.
Loved the video! Very cool idea for a format
Willow was a good purchase. Had it since I was 7 and never played it til I was 12. I was missing out. Amazing game with lots of rpg light elements. There's something about those purple background Capcom games....chip and dales, ducktales...huh? Huh?
You're outta your mind, man! Gyromite is fun! That catchy tune! I love Indy on the SNES! And I've heard nothing but good things about the N64 game. I just recently replayed Super Adventure Island and had a lot of fun with it. I'm probably gonna do a video on it myself. ReNesance is good people. I have some of his art on my walls. Definitely agree with you on Kid Icarus. Been waiting for a proper sequel since the SNES days. Open those Mega Man games! Fun video, man!
Thanks Wes! You know I love you man!! Hopefully we can meet at a con some day. I’d love to chat games, and editing. Etc
thank God my NES didn't have ROB as a pack in, only came with SMB1/Duck Hunt cart, 2 Controllers & Light Gun
Just stumbled across your channel because of UA-cam recommendations. So glad I did, because over an hour of my Sunday was gleefully "wasted" checking out a few of your videos. Also... the moment Slalom was mentioned, the callback of the "really?" moment took the humor to the next level for me. Thanks for the care you take and the fun you're clearly having making them. You earned an accidental subscriber today!
my favorite black box games was the tennis, golf, pinball.
I wish I could say soccer but the black box version was the worst soccer game on the NES.
I can't remember but was ice hockey and volleyball black box too? I absolutely loved ice hockey. had many a weekend session with friends.
Have to agree with you on X-Men (as everyone does). I bought that piece of crap when it was released from a local store (Phar-Mor). We didn't have a place that would rent games around us, so my buddy and I would buy games, carefully open them, and then re-seal and return them if we didn't like them. I played this for about an hour and sealed that bitch back up and returned it. I tried to play it a few years ago on an emulator, thinking "There's no way it's as bad as I remember". It is.
One of my favorite SNES games is Super Adventure Island. This game has one of the best and most memorable soundtracks of the 16 bit era.
When you first mentioned Captain Skyhawk, I didn't recognize the title at all. But then you showed the footage and I realized I've sunk a bunch of time into this game! I can't remember when, it may have even been on an emulator as a kid, but I definitely have played it a bunch. I may have to check it out again, I remember really loving it!
As for the sealed games: unless you plan to resell them, I'd open them up. Collecting is fun, but ultimately they are toys, designed to be play with. I don't see a point in keeping something sealed just to sit on a shelf. Open it. Enjoy it! Weep if it's not the special 1 in 8 one!
The "open it" side is definitely winning here. The just may be episode 2
Chris Roberts: "wellllllll, I knew you'd like it. Have you seen my switch flip manny at the west LA courthouse stage?"
You are so wrong about gyromite. Play with a friend controlling the pillars. He tries to kill you. Only rule is you get a pass when there is no way you can get past an area without being killed. For example red blue red pillar. He can’t kill you by trapping you in middle. Basically he can’t impede your forward movement.
I have always liked black box Golf. It's calming lol. I never knew there were "Top Gun" style levels in Captain Skyhawk bc the 1st board is so bad I never got passed it. Now I see why people say it's a good game.
Something really pleasant about those simple Black Box games. You should definitely give Skyhawk another go! It's great
I like Gyromite with a second player, that can be a lot of fun. Plus I found a converter chip in one (and in two copies of Excitebike).
awesome pickups! & now I want more black box games :-D
Do it!
I remember sending in a letter to Nintendo Power for the Mega Man contest. Also another letter or two with colored envelopes which they featured sometimes. Sadly I never made it into the magazine, and I don't remember exactly what I drew. I should've taken pictures before I mailed them!
Whoa whoa whoa... Hagane is "decent"? That's one of my top 25 SNES games (and no, they're not all grails, haha.) Once you dig into it more deeply and figure out the flow of the controls, and how they let you dance around the screen taking enemies out, you'll probably like it more.
Also, Alien 3: Assembly Cut. Watch it. It's fantastic. The original cut was the result of studio tinkering and is, indeed, no good.
Maybe I haven’t given it a fair shot. But that settles it Michael I’m gonna have to give it another go. It definitely looks fantastic maybe I just haven’t mastered it. Correction I definitely haven’t mastered it
Hey Chris, this is AWESOME!!!
I like the style, I..... well tbh...I like every video you made, from the early beginnings. They are all well thought through. And they give me feelings, as I mentioned in other videos, to want to play the games you reviewed.
If only you made these retroquest videos like twice a year, i'd be satisfied :)
I kept piling every game I bought off to the side not putting it on the shelves beside me waiting to do this video. I still have probably 60 more games. So I’ll probably do some shorter versions of these and try to squeeze them in. It might help me for a while at least get to uploading weekly. And thank you very much for your comments. I put so much into every video including a pick ups video because I want it to be something that people will love And will bring back the nostalgia. So I really appreciate it man.
Try and find out if there’s a weight difference? Lol maybe the blue one is heavier since it’s a different plastic 🤷🏼♂️
I definitely love these style of vids, very entertaining, comforting and informative! This is definitely your sweet spot! And never worry about length of your vids, we that are subscribed love the longer vids! Have a good day
This was great! Professionally done. Always a treat to see an NESComplex video in my subscription feed.
Thank you Starscream! I was appreciate your comments. And you can’t really see it in frame but right above me on the shelf I have Starscream watching the whole thing unfold. He’s probably plotting to overthrow my show
Nothing beats old school Video Games. I feel so fortunate to have been young when Nintendo came out. Loved middle school trading games with my friends during recess. Great times.
Hi 👋🏻 Mr.Woodside. I would let a lucky 🍀 person open it for me, but it doesn’t matter. I just hope I get to see you open it.
You are crazy, Chris, but that's why we love ya and yes, I would like to see more pick up videos in this style!
Thanks Jason! I keep hearing that so maybe i will do more of these afterall
I will close the video after heared you about that ActRaisee 2, is a good game 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I love it. 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t know what to say
I'm sorry but if you think actraiser needed to jettison the world-building bit, you are in the minority of the actraiser fandom
The graphics on these games from the 70s or whatever is terrible. I don’t know how people played these.
10:30 - I worked on that “make your own” mega man boss contest. It was fun. I was about 7 years old, and I worked on it with my dad. We ended up sketching out a whole comic together (10 small pages) featuring the adventures of our supposed “villain”. I think we ended up making him more of a protagonist, rather than a villain. Oh, and I totally just ripped off the existing “Air Man” boss for my idea… “Fan Man”! Good times. Thanks for helping make memories, Dad. :)
Do you still have any of that?
DUDE... really? Better than Blades of Steel!? UNSUBSCRIBE! GRAAAARRR!!!
(secretly subscribes...)
I've got almost two copies of almost everything you've mentioned here... finally motivation to get off my ass and see what my collection is actually worth
This was a great video man.
Thanks Jroc! I appreciate the feedback
I love Captain Skyhawk! And I'm really good at it too! Had it as a kid. I STILL play it!
Hagane wow, still need that one.
I can't believe i have it... so many graily games left to get... What's the status of your collection now?
@@NESComplex prety solid. still some stuff on the want list but im contempt as is either way
Love it!
And Complex loves you! Thanks
I use a dry erase marker to remove old marker writing on game carts. Write over the old marker to re-wet the old marker and wipe it off. No plastic melting chemicals needed.
Really good video my dude. Loved the animated bits. I think you should open the Mega Man games. But, of course I open everything.
Thanks Thomas! I think I will in the next episode
Oh, man. I remember being so amazed with Mega Man 4 and how you could charge up your shot. Me, my cousin and brother were sooo amazed. Nothing brings back memories like NES, which is why i like your videos so much. You lived through it, too.
Bringing back the memories it what i love most about making these videos. It's for fellow Nintendo fans
Ahhh Chris.... you really bring a smile to my face buddy. Kindred folk here : )
Your comment brings a smile to my brainfolds
I would open them for sure unless you simply love having sealed copies. At the very least you have a limited run game you can enjoy. You might be lucky and get a very limited copy. Either way, you are winning!
You make good points! I think I will for sure!!
Licensed games suck cause the price to aquire the license is so high there very little money left to make the game. So they just turn into crash grabs.
I love Nintendo's Ice Hockey. It was one of those I played alot in 88 or 89, 90.
Chris I say open the mega man games.SOLUTION: shrink wrap (YOLO)
Bwahahaha. I’m gonna open them
Do an unboxing video of the original NES.
I really enjoyed this format. I like the mix of game pickups and how you dive into each game. Keep doing this!
Thanks! I intend to make more and I’ve been getting excellent feedback to improve the next episode
Love it and do a video opening the games. 💪🏼
That's 2 for open and 0 for don't open
This style of pick ups is so great! you are onto a winner here. you maybe crazy, but its still cool!
Lol. I'm definitely a little crazy. Thank you for the feedback. I think I'll have to continue the series. You're helping convince me
Qbert….I think that’s what they call a “snork” 🤷♂️
love the movie willow, never played the game tho. we used to have ghosts n goblins, and i never got so mad in my life playing that. so hard.
You should buy a shrink wrap machine, open the games and then reseal them.
I didn't know you were making videos again! Your shows format is amazing! One of the best pick up style videos I've seen. Also, I personally would open the iam8bit Megaman games because there is more to enjoy inside those boxes.
Gemfire and CaptainSkyHawk were two of my favorite nes games
Had a friend steal my Pitfall the Mayan Adventure back in the day. Needless to say we weren't friends after that. I'm still not completely over it #hesdeadtome. On a positive note, Tim is an awesome artist. Glad you shared his painting.
I feel ya! I had a friend steal Deja Vu! These are wounds that take time to heal. I was watching your vids just the other day! Love your work man!
Thanks man. Ironically enough the video I am currently working on was gonna have a, "You have chosen wisely," joke in it, but I took it out lol.
@@GenerationGapGaming Why'd you take it out? I suppose i cant say anything about Tyson snacking on Hollifield's ear in my Punch-out video... lol
I took it out before I watched the video lol. Just found it cool I was gonna use that line too.
U only live once..if u haven't opened those games...u should
don't open them, just decide that you have both of them with the blue cart sealed :P
I think, that you are not crazy (or crazy in a good way); and that you should open it
I would've kept them wrapped if I already had copies of them to play and then opened them on my death bed :P
I just filmed the next episode... and I opened them... hmmmm?
I bought the "iam8bit Street Fighter 2 anniversary cart" and opened mine to see if I got the "limited edition, glow in the dark, Blanka-green" cart. Which, I did not. I feel dead inside man... DON'T OPEN YOUR MEGA MAN BOXES!!
Open -17, Keep it sealed - 2.... i feel you and im still unsure, but i might just do it anyway. It would be amazing if they were blue! IDK
I've got Rad Racer on Famicom, and it's fucking phenomenal. So much fun, which really surprised me, because I've never been into pre-3D racing games before playing it.
Love that arcady simplicity. So fun
@@NESComplex Me too!
i love seeing retro games plus in videos. i used to work in one of the connectticut stores. best job i ever had
I love that store. The guys are always in a good mood too
Indeed, such a shame about shooter games...such a shortage. ;p
Does anyone on youtube ever buy anything at the going rates? From what I can tell games in the USA rain out of the sky and if your lucky a holy grail will fall at your feet. Hence why all youtubers NEVER pay the going rates and GET GREAT DEALS! haha.. Not a true story.. JK.
I definitely do... but i find if you’re patient you’ll eventually stumble upon a deal or a trade
I wish you and Aaron were my dads and Ricky was our moms. But only on Tuesday and Wednesday every 3rd week of the month. I'll pay $3.50 per entry to the games only valid in the lower 48.
P.S nice pickups 👌👌
We are your dads! Are you channeling Old Game Look Forers?
Pinball is a fun game. It's really affordable too.
This video sets the bar very high for pick-ups videos.
Lold at the Slolum part. Slold*
