Why didn’t you change the image with each song? I think that would have made this video much better in my opinion, than just a single static image of an incorrect Mario game for the rest of the songs.
24--year-old college student. I am almost done with my studies. After that I can relive all of my childhood memories by playing the games I still love!
I'm 31, I can't believe i'm at a "when i was your age" age, I remember opening my first Nintendo 64 Mario combo console package when I was so young and loving every minute of it as I still to this day do.👴
I'm 22 now most of these games came out when I was only 6-7 years old... I remember running home from school to play Super Paper Mario with my little cousin, man those were good times
I think the reason a lot of us miss our childhood so much is because the real world has become such a mess that remembering the good old carefree childhood days is the only thing that brings us some peace in an ever increasingly chaotic world. Many people move into adulthood with no problems, however I fear the future won’t be anything like we imagined it would be. But I can always look back to my childhood and find some comfort, at least the world made some sense at one point in our lives. Everyday felt new and there was always an adventure waiting for us…
The world has always been messed up, you just get exposed to its more with time, which is why we cling onto those old times of innocence when we could just play games without a single worry. Regardless, I am still having fun with games (and just life, despite hardships) from time to time.
It's always been messed up but the economy for most and the reality of things in society have definitely gotten worse and worse, genuine human interaction these days has become increasingly rarer and rarer, it's all so superficial and it's sad you don't see people just hanging out at parks and having picnics just enjoying the sun chatting like they once did but it's alright as will all things in this life its temporary, things may suck but have faith that things will work out and one day the magic will come back into our lives :)
Reading your comment was nice, though I have to add in a weird way when looking back--thinking of all the celebrities that 90s kids had, and the nostalgia I want to recapture but can't quite get right, never more have I understood "The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead. And the dead keep it."
Guys, I just graduated highschool tonight. Its 1am and I'm lying on my trampoline outside just staring at the stars with gratitude for my childhood and wonder for what the future holds. Life sure does fly.
i graduated 10 years ago and still remember how i felt then. Find something to drive after and make it happen. dont allow yourself to be okay with wasting time. Your future is one of potential and power. Stand firm against the trials of life. it gets harder.
listening to all these songs makes me cry. I'm about to get married next month and move out of my childhood home and just listening to these songs reminds me of all the time I spent here enjoying these games as a child 😢 I'll forever cherish my youth
Congrats on everything Rachel! I know it may be tough to let your childhood go, but now it’s your turn to pass on the childhood you had to kids of your own! And hey… you’re never “too old” to play video games ;)
Don't ever challenge your husbands authority. Do your part and never let yourself stray "wanting more or different". Have kids and raise them at home if you are fortunate enough to sustain net positive without having to work take pride in raising kids and working the home. Christ be with you and your family.
@@Barcasaur I hope you're trolling. 🙃 Edit: I apologise for this, I really wasn't sure if this was meant as serious advice and I hope in the following answers it gets clear why.
My family had to sell my house right around the time I turned 18 due to money getting tight. It was a hard time for me emotionally and it was one of the hardest things to let go of the one home I knew all my life up to that point. My fondest memories of my childhood were the times when I had no other responsibilities than going to school and running home to play Super Mario Galaxy or Smash Brawl on my crappy crt. After all these years, I can finally look back in retrospect with a smile and be thankful for all the memories I had in that house with games like these. If you're someone whos been stuck in the past as I have, remember that its okay to miss those days and yearn for them. But remember to also appreciate where you currently are and most importantly; love yourself as you are right now, because without these memories you wouldn't be who you are today.
as a 7 year old, the wii and ds was my home. My parents weren't the best, always fighting, so I just had a few friends at school who I played Mario kart and animal crossing with. The whole soundtrack of almost every Nintendo game just calmed me and just helped me get away from the stress of real life. Every dollar bill I had was spent on the new Mario game, or Mario party. Nintendo raised me, but I feel like they have just fallen into a state of "I want money >:(" instead of actually putting personality into each and every console, and game. This video just made me cry uncontrollably, and helped me realise that Nintendo is a part of my life, and older consoles will be a part of me, and with me always.
As a 19 year old, the DSi, Wii, and Wii U were my home, the same went for my mother who wasn't the best towards me but the Nintendo Soundtracks gave me relief too, i also agree that Nintendo has gone greedy and doesn't have much love and personality they put in their games like they used to..but they will be a part of me growing up as well
It is a very strange feeling isn't it? The word nintendo still make me think "thing for kids the adults don't udnerstand" Now there's die hard fans in their 50s who know more than I do.
@@H3Vtux A lot of people that work at Nintendo (I'm looking at you, Shigeru) like to pretend adults don't play games and that's why they make their stories as non-existent as possible... even though kids like stories. I don't need big deep stories in a platformer, and Certainly don't want long cutscenes ruining the pace of the gameplay - but the scenarios have to be fresh to make the experience memorable. Can't just do the same thing over and over. That's why my best mario memories were actually the ones before Mario 64 because bowser was already quite stale at that point. The magic fades if you just have the same situation over and over.
I'm currently 30 years old, and have officially hit the "I remember when I was your age..." comments. The opening track of Super Mario Galaxy literally transported me back to Mario Galaxy when I got it from my brother for Christmas and we played it all day long. Such a wonderful time being able to enjoy these classics and their music that I am sure I will remember the rest of my life.
At 35 I was way too old already for Mario Galaxy to be Nostalgic... in fact Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 is when I lost interest in the series, the whole saving peach from bowser thing was now so stale that it was insulting.
im only 18 and i can already feel all the nostalgia. I miss my brothers and the time we used to spend playing nintendo... everything has changed and the world feels pretty fcked up i just want to teleport to that good ol times where i was happy without realizing. That trophy gallery song got me goosebumps
Similar story I have so much nostalgia for Mario kart Wii, Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, NSMBWii, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Pokemon, etc
Mario Galaxy was my first ever Mario game, will never forget the joy I had playing through it at 6 years old, it influenced my life going forward in the best way possible
I was obsessed with Nintendo as a kid. I owned tons of games, more plush toys than I'm willing to count, and so much other merchandise that you could make a mountain out of it. I am so grateful for everything this magnificent company has given us, and they will always be the Walt Disney of the video game industry. I have made so many memories, some of which I hold dear to this day, some good, some bad (I was very easily angered by some games, to the point where Mario Kart was "banned" to play). I think the greatest memory of all, though, was the discovery of Super Smash Bros. That game practically made my childhood and I still adore it to this day for just how many icons of the gaming industry it brings together.
No matter how rough life gets or how bad the world may seem, I always have these pure childhood memories to look back on and smile. I appreciate that so much more now.
currently 16, im still in my childhood home but I'm not gonna take any of my time here for granted. my family is wonderful and I honestly can't imagine what life without them is gonna feel like. i suppose getting older is inevitable but it's still hard to get over. nintendo games are carrying my childhood this playlist is making me feel old already
I literally am losing my mind at how perfectly curated this playlist is for my own demographic it's like someone broke into my brain and stole this; even the bops I forgot about are in here with the absolute legend-level tunes that I listen to more frequently like dude
That diamond and pearl lake theme. Oh, man, the nostalgia! I remember getting home from school, going outside, and battling my friends since we lived in the same complex. Lowkey, made me tear up. Ahh, those happy days.
Man I remember lt like it was yesterday back in 2021 I had saved up enough money (40 bucks to be exact) to buy myself Mario galaxy wii I was so exited that day I asked my mom if we could go to the mall and buy it we did the very next day I ran all the way to the GameStop and immediately grabbed the best looking cover of Mario galaxy. I excitedly walked up to the counter and paid for my game finally after 2 weeks of saving I had finally had one of my most favorite Mario games for my Wii!! I couldn’t contain my excitement as soon as I got home I ran to my Wii and booted it up me and my little brother stayed up until 12 playing it it was a blast and eventually a week later I had beaten the game.. memories.. I wish I could experience playing Mario galaxy one more time again.. thank you Nintendo for the memories
This was my childhood games. It really does make me remember those early mornings and running upstairs to play Mario galaxy. Thanks for letting me remember those times.
I fucking love Starfy. Years and years later and now I'm studying marine biology. Its crazy how first loves and interests can turn into something lifelong; :) wish me luck!
@@gabrielasanchez4213 omg thats so exciting!! Learning about marine life is such a fascianting and growing research area, I hope to hear more about what you're pursuing! I personally am interested in nematodes, especially marine nematodes if you know what they are :D
im 27 and i remember as a kid one christmas morning my mum and dad had bought me a gamecube with super mario sunshine, luigis mansion and star fox adventures. Till this day that was the best christmas of my life. I miss childhood
I am 40. I grew up with Gameboy, NES, SNES and PS1. I dont know most of the games of this list here as they were released after I had not been gaming anymore. Some of the Zelda songs here just brought tears to my eyes. Awesome!
I’m 25 which in itself feels crazy. This music brings me back to a time where nothing mattered more to me than running home and playing my Wii. Video games hold such a special place in my heart as I’m sure it does for everyone here. I miss the days of sitting in front of my old big box CRT tv and playing the Wii. Rather it be Mario, Sonic, Super Smash brothers any of them. I spent so many hours of my younger years playing games with my friends and family. I miss it. I miss those days. Carefree. I have my own family now and cannot be happier. Still the need and want to experience those wonderful years again even for a moment would be a dream come true. I will never forget those memories and hope that I can give these to my children as well.
18:20 You plug in your nintendo 64 into your old crt tv, you see link running across hyrule field on epona while the title slowly fades in. Life is good.
I was like 9 when I got addicted to super mario galaxy, and I played through it (somewhat) and never touched the game since. I STILL vividly remember these songs and get the most cozy and best feeling nostalgia I've gotten in a while. That game, was ahead of it's time.
You really picked out a lot of my favorites. Kakariko Village is truly the greatest video game song ever, I swear that place is my 2nd home with Lon Lon Ranch. I've spent countless hours of my life just wondering that village and taking in the sweet vibes. The sound of the windmill turning, the cuccoos squawking, the view of Death Mountain, the beautiful sky, each and every villager... I can vividly imagine it all every time that song plays. You picked out a lot of other good songs too. Great playlist!
Wow I feel old. It blows my mind that enough time has passed to be nostalgic about these, whereas for me SMG is still one of the "new ones" that I'll get around to eventually haha.
I wanted to check out this playlist and my finger slipped the video forward and started playing the Title Theme from OoT. For a long time as a teenager, I put this song on to fall asleep too. The universe and your video has made me feel so wonderful and nostalgic. Thank you for the experience. 💖 I hope everyone remembers the feelings and memories of these songs to the fullest. Drink water and be kind.
This is a random one but the Shops theme from Mario and Sonic Winter Olympic Games hits really hard for me for some reason. I played that game a lot when it came out in 2010
I still live in the same home I grew up in. It's a different kind of nostalgia to look around my house and think about how it's changed since I was young. Fittingly enough, the spot where I once played Wii and Gamecube games on a chunky CRT is where my desk is currently, and that's where I often play the same games from my childhood on Dolphin Emulator due to no longer having a Wii or a Gamecube.
just that beginning song made me wanna bust out in tears man! i love this playlist it has so many nostalgic themes in it 😭 makes my heart ache now that times can be really hard, and this brings me back to my carefree years without worry or constant stress. im going to play this while studying now i was a zelda and mario kid growing up, and still am, seeing how im just 17, but life is different now and things have changed. thank you for this, my good man
I've come back to this video multiple times a day, multiple times a week. Like some in the comments said it most likely is because I miss the carefree world of being a kid, not having to stress about next week's assignment for college, getting to work on time, keeping up with appointments and anything similar to that. The most I had to worry about was not dying to Bowser when I had 1 heart left in the final battle of Mario Galaxy. I'd literally do anything to back and relive those days one more time but I am glad I can always find comfort in the times I do think about those days and listen to the music and play the games that made my childhood.
no one ever tells you how lonely college can be. i have felt an immense emptiness in college and it has made my college experience terrible. when i study i turn to nostalgic music like this. it makes me feel a little less alone, it brings me back to before my loneliness, when i was living with my loving family, when i didnt have any worries about anything. what i would do to go back to this time when i was happy.
Nintendo is just one word that would just perfectly fit as my childhood memories and I think that is beautiful, just love their games and practically everything. Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Pokepark... So many good memories ;).
new leaf 7pm really got me. me and my best friend who lived a few hours away would play acnl together every day, usually after i got home from band rehearsal. i can't tell you how many hours i spent listening to 7pm while we ran around each other's town
I'm not a very emotional person but DAMN. I miss the times of playing games on the DS or Wii and then spending the rest of the day doing actual stuff in real life instead of watching videos or playing games like I have for so many years since, and then winding down and watching a VHS or DVD in the afternoon and going to bed at 7pm xD. I pretty much only have nostalgia for the times before I was on the internet. I'm not some kinda "phone bad book good" person, but it makes me wonder. (also did not expect trophy gallery and jungle hijinx to hit that hard for me but ig they did.)
52:18 when I heard this song I began to cry uncontrollably, this was my first ever Kirby game and I played it with my older sister. I have memories of being at my old house and playing on the Wii in the living room with her.
@@XTheJenovaProjectX no, thankfully she is still alive. It’s just super nostalgic to me and that game marked the start of my special interest in Kirby. Also she’s in college now so we barely ever play games together anymore, I don’t know it’s just a bittersweet memory.
man aquatic ambience gave me genuine goosebumps, donkey kong country was one my main games as a 4/5 year old, now i'm nearly 21. an underrated, beautiful piece
Became an adult two weeks ago, seems crazy that until like 5 years ago I was a big nintendo fan. All this soundtracks remind me of a simpler time where I could go home and play Pokemon Ruby and not worry about all the assesments I had in the week
I just turned 19 18 days ago..the Pokemon Black/White 2, and Mario Kart DS music hit me hard in the chest because the DSI was my first video game console i got in my life at the age of 8 or 9 i believe and now its been 10 or 11 years since then..where time go..?
Not even kidding, I 100% forgot everything about me ever playing Mario and Luigi dream team, I had it on my 3DS a long time ago and finished it I think but if it weren’t for this playlist that game would never cross my mind
I really appreciate you for adding Dunas Theme Fossil Fighters is and still is one of my favorite Monster Taming Games during my childhood played it so much on the DS including the Sequel during car trips.
I'm so happy to see/hear a fossil fighters song here! My cousins and my friends and I all played it when we were younger so it's very nostalgic to me! So many memories :)
I really miss the good old days enjoying myself with some Nintendo dose. I have a special love for both Super Mario Galaxy's, two games that made me felt what barely no other game did
Going on 25 come Thanksgiving, and I just lost my mom in July... So this stuff reminds me of when we used to play Mario Party, and pull out the N64 they had... Still remember holding that controller and feeling the joy of beating levels in Mario, or figuring out puzzles in Legend of Zelda... I remember having the wonderful world of Animal Crossing, where my mom, my brother and myself shared a space... It was so fun to come home and unwind... The world seems so much colder now... Im glad to have these songs to remind me of times so much better than now... Even the melancholic ones bring some sense of catharsis... Thanks for sharing this mix -- it eases the soul for sure. 👍
I think I just realised how old i'm getting listening to this. I'm still only 26 but I feel like these will never come back as they were... Video games don't feel the same anymore, but my heart beats so loud when I play the nintendo games from my childhood. I know them all by heart, but the feeling I get each time is undescribable.
breaking my no commenting streak of several years to thank you so much for including pokepark!! i never hear it in compilations but it's my favorite game and the soundtrack is wonderful.. i'm so happy
Mario Bros/Duck Hunt? Are there any of us left? I've been playing Nintendo for about 38 years. Nes. Snes. Gameboy. Gameboy Color. N64. Gamecube. GB Advance. DS. Wii. Wii U. 3DS. Switch. This is a soundtrack to my life.
currently 33, but the crossover from Super Nintendo/Sega to Nintendo64 / PS1 was the most incredible feature we have seen in the 90s! Gaming was never same again and few year laters came Online gaming. What we talked about as kids @ school or at the playground became eventually the standard of gaming
Lovely selection! I've been replaying the Zelda's recently. Grateful for these games still being there after my dog passed away. I was a small kid when we got him as a puppy and it hit me quite hard that I had to be a part of the decision making when we had to put him down recently. Really feels like a part of my childhood is permanently gone. I'm finding lots of comfort in my childhood games because of that. Oddly enough replaying Majora's Mask really helped me with processing it I think. I have a tattoo of my precious dog Odi on my arm and I learned the song of healing on my guitar which helps me acknowledge the grief, but allowing the sad feeling to be there also allows it to pass through. I have decided that the time I would've spent on his welbeing I will spend on my own.

I remember playing Ocarina Of Time over Xmas for the first time. Truly magical.
Me being 21: Yes, the good Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64 days 🧎
32- just gifted my daughter a switch. Hoping to recreate that magical day when I first received my 64 for Xmas!
the first song made me cry, I love Mario Galaxy so much and the nostalgia is unexplainable
Probably the best game ever.
@@Decodedz Yes!!
@@Decodedz Literally, BotW and Mario Galaxy are my two fav games ever and I think it will remain that way for a long time.
Bro same, I haven’t heard it in probably 10 years and I immediately recognized it. SMG 1 and 2 are goated

I put in a lot of time trying to remember all the games I used to play so I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
@@vgstudymusic Yeah it shows fr! Thank you for putting this together!
Exactly I've played like 80% of these games
That diamond and pearl lake theme. Oh, man, the nostalgia!
I remember getting home from school, going outside, and battling my friends since we lived in the same complex.
Lowkey, made me tear up. Ahh, those happy days.
d&p have some of the most amazing soundtracks of all pokemon games imo. Can't be topped
Man I remember lt like it was yesterday back in 2021 I had saved up enough money (40 bucks to be exact) to buy myself Mario galaxy wii I was so exited that day I asked my mom if we could go to the mall and buy it we did the very next day I ran all the way to the GameStop and immediately grabbed the best looking cover of Mario galaxy. I excitedly walked up to the counter and paid for my game finally after 2 weeks of saving I had finally had one of my most favorite Mario games for my Wii!! I couldn’t contain my excitement as soon as I got home I ran to my Wii and booted it up me and my little brother stayed up until 12 playing it it was a blast and eventually a week later I had beaten the game.. memories.. I wish I could experience playing Mario galaxy one more time again.. thank you Nintendo for the memories
What I would give to travel back to the moment I played super mario galaxy for the first time
Man, I still remember playing many of these games in high school and college as if it were just yesterday.... wish I could go back at times
This was my childhood games. It really does make me remember those early mornings and running upstairs to play Mario galaxy. Thanks for letting me remember those times.
My appreciation that Starfy is in here is immeasurable
I fucking love Starfy. Years and years later and now I'm studying marine biology. Its crazy how first loves and interests can turn into something lifelong; :) wish me luck!
@@gabrielasanchez4213 omg thats so exciting!! Learning about marine life is such a fascianting and growing research area, I hope to hear more about what you're pursuing! I personally am interested in nematodes, especially marine nematodes if you know what they are :D
im 27 and i remember as a kid one christmas morning my mum and dad had bought me a gamecube with super mario sunshine, luigis mansion and star fox adventures. Till this day that was the best christmas of my life. I miss childhood
gamecube is goated idc what anyone says
Gamecube games were so amazing.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to visit my childhood home whenever I like, and playing all those old games there really does hit different
I am 40. I grew up with Gameboy, NES, SNES and PS1. I dont know most of the games of this list here as they were released after I had not been gaming anymore. Some of the Zelda songs here just brought tears to my eyes. Awesome!
Dire dire docks is a gem this generation won't ruin also cosmic cove galaxy. Made alot of memories there trying to catch the rabbit.
Seeing Super Mario Galaxy in a nostalgia video is weird considering 2007 was only 3 years ago.
Is this supposed to be a joke? Cause 2007 was NOT 3 years ago.
@@goofyfish17yes this is a joke.
@@goofyfish17 yea it was 2 and a half years ago. Maybe bro forgot to update his calendar lol.
definitely feels like it, i remember my mom buying me the game when i was 6 and i played the fuck out of the game, still my favourite game ever
I’m 25 which in itself feels crazy. This music brings me back to a time where nothing mattered more to me than running home and playing my Wii. Video games hold such a special place in my heart as I’m sure it does for everyone here. I miss the days of sitting in front of my old big box CRT tv and playing the Wii. Rather it be Mario, Sonic, Super Smash brothers any of them. I spent so many hours of my younger years playing games with my friends and family. I miss it. I miss those days. Carefree. I have my own family now and cannot be happier. Still the need and want to experience those wonderful years again even for a moment would be a dream come true. I will never forget those memories and hope that I can give these to my children as well.
The first song is magic
18:20 You plug in your nintendo 64 into your old crt tv, you see link running across hyrule field on epona while the title slowly fades in. Life is good.
the first song, star festival, reminds me so much of Christmas in 2007
GALAXY WAS THE GOAT. So many memories. Sad to say gaming hasn’t been as good since that decade
somehow the two animal crossing tracks you picked ended up being my favorite from each game… the taste 😭
I agree completely!
The release of Super Mario Galaxy. What'd I'd give to be a kid during it again. 😢
i know right
@@goofy9125 just gotta cherish it and never forget the beautiful memories the game brought to us
Not a care in the world back then.
Image Super Mario Galaxy 3 for the switch. The next direct is not too far away.
@@Kirnale its going to be shit because the switch hardware is so bad even a ps3 runs better. Have you seen the new pokemon games? looks awful
World’s best Christmas recommendation thanks UA-cam
I knew within 5 seconds that I would cry from nostalgia by the end. Such amazing music
Genuinely surprised to hear Duna's theme here. Really caught me off guard. Happy to hear it.
I was like 9 when I got addicted to super mario galaxy, and I played through it (somewhat) and never touched the game since. I STILL vividly remember these songs and get the most cozy and best feeling nostalgia I've gotten in a while. That game, was ahead of it's time.
You really picked out a lot of my favorites. Kakariko Village is truly the greatest video game song ever, I swear that place is my 2nd home with Lon Lon Ranch. I've spent countless hours of my life just wondering that village and taking in the sweet vibes. The sound of the windmill turning, the cuccoos squawking, the view of Death Mountain, the beautiful sky, each and every villager... I can vividly imagine it all every time that song plays. You picked out a lot of other good songs too. Great playlist!
I will for ever stand with my opinion: Ballad of the Goddess is the greatest piece of music ever composed for a Nintendo game.
I second this
Duna's Theme really took me back
Wow I feel old. It blows my mind that enough time has passed to be nostalgic about these, whereas for me SMG is still one of the "new ones" that I'll get around to eventually haha.
I was an adult in the 2000s but this is still nostalgic.
I wanted to check out this playlist and my finger slipped the video forward and started playing the Title Theme from OoT. For a long time as a teenager, I put this song on to fall asleep too. The universe and your video has made me feel so wonderful and nostalgic. Thank you for the experience. 💖 I hope everyone remembers the feelings and memories of these songs to the fullest. Drink water and be kind.
This is a random one but the Shops theme from Mario and Sonic Winter Olympic Games hits really hard for me for some reason. I played that game a lot when it came out in 2010
I still live in the same home I grew up in. It's a different kind of nostalgia to look around my house and think about how it's changed since I was young. Fittingly enough, the spot where I once played Wii and Gamecube games on a chunky CRT is where my desk is currently, and that's where I often play the same games from my childhood on Dolphin Emulator due to no longer having a Wii or a Gamecube.
just that beginning song made me wanna bust out in tears man! i love this playlist it has so many nostalgic themes in it 😭 makes my heart ache now that times can be really hard, and this brings me back to my carefree years without worry or constant stress. im going to play this while studying now
i was a zelda and mario kid growing up, and still am, seeing how im just 17, but life is different now and things have changed. thank you for this, my good man
I feel so cozy and small again I miss this feeling thank you so much for sharing ❤
the first song hit so hard
I had so much fun playing mario galaxy
I've come back to this video multiple times a day, multiple times a week. Like some in the comments said it most likely is because I miss the carefree world of being a kid, not having to stress about next week's assignment for college, getting to work on time, keeping up with appointments and anything similar to that. The most I had to worry about was not dying to Bowser when I had 1 heart left in the final battle of Mario Galaxy. I'd literally do anything to back and relive those days one more time but I am glad I can always find comfort in the times I do think about those days and listen to the music and play the games that made my childhood.
I am so glad to see fossil fighters getting some love!!! Absolute banger of a game
Awesome playlist. Love that you close out with the Ballad of the Goddess.
no one ever tells you how lonely college can be. i have felt an immense emptiness in college and it has made my college experience terrible. when i study i turn to nostalgic music like this. it makes me feel a little less alone, it brings me back to before my loneliness, when i was living with my loving family, when i didnt have any worries about anything. what i would do to go back to this time when i was happy.
Nintendo is just one word that would just perfectly fit as my childhood memories and I think that is beautiful, just love their games and practically everything. Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Pokepark...
So many good memories ;).
new leaf 7pm really got me. me and my best friend who lived a few hours away would play acnl together every day, usually after i got home from band rehearsal. i can't tell you how many hours i spent listening to 7pm while we ran around each other's town
When that Paper Mario TTYD track hits…
Its amazing how time flies... I remember those days with joy and happiness. So much amazing memories :D
Props for giving some fossil fighters recognition, truly an underated game and a nostalgic track for me
I'm not a very emotional person but DAMN. I miss the times of playing games on the DS or Wii and then spending the rest of the day doing actual stuff in real life instead of watching videos or playing games like I have for so many years since, and then winding down and watching a VHS or DVD in the afternoon and going to bed at 7pm xD.
I pretty much only have nostalgia for the times before I was on the internet. I'm not some kinda "phone bad book good" person, but it makes me wonder.
(also did not expect trophy gallery and jungle hijinx to hit that hard for me but ig they did.)
52:18 when I heard this song I began to cry uncontrollably, this was my first ever Kirby game and I played it with my older sister. I have memories of being at my old house and playing on the Wii in the living room with her.
Get a grip!!
Did your sister pass away and that’s why it’s so sad?
@@XTheJenovaProjectX no, thankfully she is still alive. It’s just super nostalgic to me and that game marked the start of my special interest in Kirby. Also she’s in college now so we barely ever play games together anymore, I don’t know it’s just a bittersweet memory.
I completely understand, I’m feeling the same way, I used to play it with my little sister all day
@@XTheJenovaProjectX nope, he's just wet 😅
man aquatic ambience gave me genuine goosebumps, donkey kong country was one my main games as a 4/5 year old, now i'm nearly 21. an underrated, beautiful piece
Le temps passe trop vite...
Mais tellement ce jeu particulièrement me procure une énorme nostalgie c’est vraiment mon jeu préféré de tous les temps
Became an adult two weeks ago, seems crazy that until like 5 years ago I was a big nintendo fan. All this soundtracks remind me of a simpler time where I could go home and play Pokemon Ruby and not worry about all the assesments I had in the week
I just turned 19 18 days ago..the Pokemon Black/White 2, and Mario Kart DS music hit me hard in the chest because the DSI was my first video game console i got in my life at the age of 8 or 9 i believe and now its been 10 or 11 years since then..where time go..?
Not even kidding, I 100% forgot everything about me ever playing Mario and Luigi dream team, I had it on my 3DS a long time ago and finished it I think but if it weren’t for this playlist that game would never cross my mind
Remember my little brother playing super Mario galaxy ALL THE TIME. Good times. Wished I cherished more.
You spoil us bless your soul
I really appreciate you for adding Dunas Theme Fossil Fighters is and still is one of my favorite Monster Taming Games during my childhood played it so much on the DS including the Sequel during car trips.
I'm so happy to see/hear a fossil fighters song here! My cousins and my friends and I all played it when we were younger so it's very nostalgic to me! So many memories :)
THANK YOU NINTENDO FOR GIVING US ALL THE BEST CHILDHOODS 💖 RIP SATORU IWATA ILY. Man im going to cry
I really miss the good old days enjoying myself with some Nintendo dose. I have a special love for both Super Mario Galaxy's, two games that made me felt what barely no other game did
this is so comfy :) helps to play this while im studying away from home during finals hahah
Going on 25 come Thanksgiving, and I just lost my mom in July... So this stuff reminds me of when we used to play Mario Party, and pull out the N64 they had... Still remember holding that controller and feeling the joy of beating levels in Mario, or figuring out puzzles in Legend of Zelda... I remember having the wonderful world of Animal Crossing, where my mom, my brother and myself shared a space... It was so fun to come home and unwind...
The world seems so much colder now... Im glad to have these songs to remind me of times so much better than now... Even the melancholic ones bring some sense of catharsis...
Thanks for sharing this mix -- it eases the soul for sure. 👍
First song hits hard...
one of the best playlist I've ever heard
It is just so beautiful I hope one day just to approach it is level 😮
im so glad when i see skyward sword on these playlists
what a specific mood
and I am there all the time
every hour of every day
The first track always gives me hope. I needed that, thank you.
This music is so 2000s that it reached into the 90s
Super Mario Galaxy is undoubtedly the best game I've ever play. Perfect story, perfect music, perfect gaming experience
Dire dire docks is so comforting. I usually hate water levels as I don’t want to drown but this made me forget my fears haha
Aquatic Ambiance alway's makes me feel some type of way that tune really is incredible.
@35:41 never fails to rip right through me. The overwhelming sense of nostalgia is just so immense. We were so lucky.
i love the main picture of this playlist being super mario galaxy omg the nostalgia😭
We’re still here in 2024 , you’re a legend !
i only had to look at the thumb and skim through a few songs just to know that this whole playlist was awesome
Love this!! At 27, it feels nice to have a blast of nostalgia and remember the joy some of these games brought me playing them for the first time
I think I just realised how old i'm getting listening to this. I'm still only 26 but I feel like these will never come back as they were...
Video games don't feel the same anymore, but my heart beats so loud when I play the nintendo games from my childhood.
I know them all by heart, but the feeling I get each time is undescribable.
thank you for the amazing playlist, I’m gonna go cry now
Shops from Mario and Sonic and the Olympic winter games hit me really hard. Along with the Super Paper Mario songs
breaking my no commenting streak of several years to thank you so much for including pokepark!! i never hear it in compilations but it's my favorite game and the soundtrack is wonderful.. i'm so happy
I remember getting my wii on christmas morning and starting mario galaxy, one of my favourite memories
Mario Bros/Duck Hunt? Are there any of us left? I've been playing Nintendo for about 38 years. Nes. Snes. Gameboy. Gameboy Color. N64. Gamecube. GB Advance. DS. Wii. Wii U. 3DS. Switch. This is a soundtrack to my life.
currently 33, but the crossover from Super Nintendo/Sega to Nintendo64 / PS1 was the most incredible feature we have seen in the 90s! Gaming was never same again and few year laters came Online gaming. What we talked about as kids @ school or at the playground became eventually the standard of gaming
Lovely selection! I've been replaying the Zelda's recently. Grateful for these games still being there after my dog passed away. I was a small kid when we got him as a puppy and it hit me quite hard that I had to be a part of the decision making when we had to put him down recently. Really feels like a part of my childhood is permanently gone. I'm finding lots of comfort in my childhood games because of that. Oddly enough replaying Majora's Mask really helped me with processing it I think. I have a tattoo of my precious dog Odi on my arm and I learned the song of healing on my guitar which helps me acknowledge the grief, but allowing the sad feeling to be there also allows it to pass through. I have decided that the time I would've spent on his welbeing I will spend on my own.
Ballad of the Goddess as the last song... Skyward Sword is how you get to me, man. Best game ever.
I took for granted how lucky I am to still live in my childhood home ❤ I love it so much
