[@necron9987]

John, you are a breath of fresh air to the gaming world. I am a 45 year old gamer and I can not believe how toxic and negative the gaming community can be these days and hearing you talk with such positivity around games and gaming makes me realise why I love gaming so much. Never change dude. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the amazing work man.

[@MrMattyG]

I turn 34 on Saturday. Been a gamer since I was seven and man do I miss the days when videogame development was full of innovation and positivity. The community has definitely created a more toxic culture.

[@paprikastaude]

Wouldn't mind a 4 hour Zelda podcast from you.

[@jerriand]

My thoughts exactly.

[@jamesw.9256]

Please!

[@foo2913]

All gen gamers! Run it back!

[@figvania4805]

He should do podcasts.

[@Balalaika74]

​@@figvania4805 I think he should do what he feels is best. But that said i would definitely like it.

[@marvin8559]

I see Happy Console Gamer upload, I click. It's a simple rewarding life.

[@MichaelButlerC]

I can't always watch at that moment but this channel is one of the primary uses for "Watch Later" for me.

[@distanthope9153]

I see a dorky comment, I make fun of it. Simple as that.

[@adventuremachineVGM]

That Ridge Racer story is so cool, what an amazing find. Awesome hoodie too!!

[@user-qu1rx8oc6t]

I don’t know what it is, but I can listen to you describe paint drying for 4 hours and love it. It actually makes me happier to listen to you talk about video games.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Happy Father's Day! I also picked up Tears of the Kingdom CE and it was just a magical experience. I beat the main story last night, but I plan to just explore and find all the stuff I missed (for years to come it feels like) haha. I agree totally one of the greatest of all time!

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Hey thank you!

[@pukewhenimsad]

@@MrBud85😂😂😂

[@ArkAynJoel]

For my birthday this year I pulled the trigger on the Ys 8 PS5 collectors edition after previously cancelling my preorder. I also found the PS5 Ys 9 collectors edition, so I now own a bunch of cool stuff from both my favourite action RPG and it's (hopefully just as awesome) sequel! 😁

[@mikedoeren5960]

I could listen to you talk about games that you love for hours. Good episode!

[@bclinke1]

I finally found the original Ape escape and I couldn’t be more excited to play it!!

[@fitzfoolz]

This is my first post on KZbin after watching you for years! You really came across as excited with this latest video. It really hit a point with me as I can vividly remember renting games like metal gear solid and siphon filter with my mates and finishing them in a sleepover night. Your excitement brought it all back. Big nostalgia listening to you. Keep up the good work.

[@xJoeyScoops]

Episode 69, lets go

[@harryantony5714]

Nice

[@upn2daleft]

Nice

[@BigBoss9696]

Recently re-purchased my Nintendo 64 w/ 4 controllers and small collection of 22 games when i was teen back then. Will be playing and sharing my memories with my kids. Good video dude

[@spursdynasty7378]

One of my favorite systems ! Enjoy 😂

[@robballer]

Happy Father's Day Johnny!! You always make Sunday morning a happy time.

[@DarkAK2]

There are so many rpgs that came out in the last few years its crazy I wish I had more time

[@urbanasupernova562]

Been playing video games since the 1980s. Unreal that the past 2 back to back years just gave us Elden Ring, which HAD become my favorite game of all time….until Tears of the Kingdom came along! What a time to be alive 🙂

[@chrilz1498]

Happy Father’s Day, Johnny! I hope you’re enjoying your day with the family, and also yes to the 4-hour Tears of the Kingdom podcast, haha!

[@themailman3331]

Happy Father’s Day brother. I went all-in on TOTK. Collector’s Edition game, pro controller and even caved in to FOMO and grabbed the Zelda OLED. I don’t normally splurge, but I went nuts and now I’m so happy I did. This game is absolutely amazing.

[@zuzhi64]

R4 Type R was and still holds a special space in my childhood memories. Definitely with you on how it makes you happy looking at the box art!

[@Eagleknight815]

Happy Father's Day Weekend Johnny! Hope you had a great day yesterday! Tears however has soaked up all my gaming time so no new stuff for me to talk about but....what an adventure so far in Hyrule!

[@TwoEyesOpen]

That R4 JogCon is so unbelievably cool!! Ridge Racer R4 is still one of the best of the best. And you're right, the new Zeldas are THE ULTIMATE deserted island games. Happy Father's Day, brother! I recently got some good deals on Gundam Versus, Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War, Digimon Cyber Sleuth, and Horizon Forbidden West!

[@chillibeef9947]

I always love how you ask your viewers what they are playing or collecting, it's very cool. Like you I did the whole shebang with Zelda I even bought the OLED Switch.

[@kupo_777]

My special edition copy of River City Girls: Zero from Limited Run finally arrived this week. I bought that about a year and a half ago, didn't think it would ever get here. Needless to say, very hyped for that!

[@MichieGee]

Suikoden is one of those games I always forget how much I loved. The memories of popping it into the PS in the family room and hogging the TV for hours. :)

[@jordanmckee4970]

I’m currently playing an old game on switch for the first time. Knights of the old republic and wow what a story the game is an absolute MASTERPIECE in my opinion ❤🎉

[@MrMattyG]

The original KOTOR is my second favourite game ever. 2nd only to GTA: Vice City.

[@babyboy1971]

1999 was a rough year for me, I was heavily entrenched in graduate school and my mother was dying of lung cancer and my dad was losing his mind, literally and figuratively. BUT…I remember that video games saved my sanity, and 1999 was an amazing year for games. If it weren’t for video games, I don’t think I would have made it through 1999. I’m going to have to look up that video of yours.

[@weeklystruggle4205]

I love your channel to relax :) I love playing video games but Im not too much into collecting. But watching you talk about them and showing things into the camera is so entertaining

[@Dietpill]

Tears of the kingdom has easily worked its way up to my top 10 favorite games of all time, every moment spent with it is such divine joy.

[@samrasinlic6084]

I highly recommend trinity trigger! I bought it about a month ago and loved what it came with when I bought it! Opened it up and surprisingly it’s a very good game! I wish they released more games like this that comes with goodies but not have to pay up the wazoo for it

[@divinations00]

Awesome pick ups! Haven't bought too many new games because of TOTK, but I did get the Mother 2 soundtrack on vinyl in the mail and a vintage Mario 2 doll with all the original packaging for my birthday this past week! Some epic gamer hauls in the month of June, hope you have a great week ahead of you!

[@16bitzach]

For Father’s Day, my wife got me a Sharp Twin Famicom with Doki Doki Panic and Japanese Smb2!! So awesome!!!

[@davidcortez1214]

The jogcon wasn't only in Japan. I had that with the game as well here in the states. I only used that controller when I ever played it. Love the game.

[@kevinv7241]

My Sunday is not complete without a Happy Console Gamer upload.

[@lorenzohot5234]

Got fire emblem engage due to your recommendation. It’s amazing I’m having a great time with it!!

[@joepetrecz7912]

Thanks for everything man always look forward to your videos keep doing your thing!👍

[@thrawnxi]

John, I went back to my childhood home to attend my sisters wedding in Michigan. I ended up finding my original NES, DS, Xbox, Sega Genesis in the box, and Xbox 360. I put them all in a suitcase and took them back home in San Diego. Watching your show inspired me to gather all those relics so now im going to create shelves in my home arcade to display them. I got that NES when I was 6 years old, its awesome that its covered in duct tape on the power cord and whatnot. I have a new found appreciation for well worn gaming systems. I think its amazing because these things were my own and defined some of the funnest days of my childhood into adulthood! Thanks for keeping that childlike enthusiasm for gaming!

[@ProductionsFromBeyon]

Currently playing Tales of Vesperia definitive, will be moving into my backlogged Ys 8 later this week 😊

[@Carl-R]

Great video. I recently just received my copy of FF Pixel Remaster from Play Asia and for movies I got the Empire of Screams Blu ray set from Arrow Video (classic B-movie schlock).

[@Zerokirby]

Always look forward to these episodes!

[@nathannowicki5336]

Ridge Racer Type 4 on the PS1 was amazing back in the day!

[@kenhughes-pt9tb]

I miss the RR games

[@nathannowicki5336]

@@kenhughes-pt9tb agreed! fond memories of the psp ridge racer games on PS2 and PSP :D

[@Aelrandir]

I totally get what you mean when you say you feel genuinely happy walking into the room and seeing parts of your collection, and recalling the memories that go with them. It's one of the great joys of collecting. I've had to pause getting new stuff lately until I catch up with with what I've already bought. I got, but have yet to play, FF Pixel Remaster collection, Grandia HD collection, Tactics Ogre, Metroid Prime remastered, and Chrono Cross. After 150ish hours in TotK, it's finally time to start making my way through some of these other games.

[@FriendrickLamar]

Its awesome to see someone else passionate about Suikoden as well! It was one of the first rpgs I played on the Playstation 1, and will always be one of my absolute favorites!

[@arcadeutopia3035]

Dude I just finished the demo for Final 16. Oh my word absolutely loving the game of thrones vibes 😅

[@jankogo]

Wonder Boy is amazing! I remember seeing the first one in the Arcades back in the day. I could not believe how good it looked.

[@matthewsan78]

Been playing The Messenger…was really surprised at how great it is.

[@Deathslayus]

I love ridge racer type 4, I picked up the remastered soundtrack recently. I had no idea there was an exclusive controller that came with it.

[@rocksolid72]

Happy Father’s Day, John! Crazy that I started watching this show about 12 years ago before I even met my wife. Now we’ve been married for 6 years and our son will be 2 in October. Still look forward to every Sunday for a new vid!

[@indeimaus]

TOTK was a bit of fun, played like 10 hours and have no desire to play it ever again but I get it FF16 this week though, oh baby

[@kijar]

I’m often here to just hang out. Very positive vibes this channel

[@jean-francoisbergeron3595]

Lately I picked up Valis : The Fantasm Soldier Collection 1 and 2 on the Switch and I love it! What a classic series, very hard but satisfying with excellent music!😁

[@themegaman91965]

Got my Shadowrun battery replaced for the Genny, and nicely soldered in! The use of FM there reminds me of Blake Stone for DOS! Also playing it on a Model 1 with the "High Definition Graphics" stamp!

[@YouOweMeAPizza]

I’m 115 hours into TOTK and I continue to find some locations that make my jaw drop. I also just completed the Awakening set and it made me SO happy to put it all on. I want to wear it for the rest of the game!

[@gundambassexe31]

Awesome. And happy Father's day Johnny ❤️😊

[@Chris-Courage]

Always great hearing you yap about games. I've been playing some stuff lately but haven't been buying any new items. I got sick of having a bunch of stuff everywhere. Outrun 2 Xbox, Magician Lord Neogeo, and World Class Baseball TG16 have been getting my attention as of late.

[@PTGN87]

I was in the Philippines last month and ended up picking up a Pokémon switch Oled along with some physical copys of Xenoblade 1&2 , Bayonetta 1, Splattoon 3, Zelda Totk (it was only $52)and a Kamen rider game sine I found a store called Data Blitz that had alot of stuff that was cheaper than the US. I also Got the new Zelda Pro Controller just before I left on vacation.

[@groovetonight1848]

Happy Father’s day my dude! I’m still bumpin the R4 soundtrack in 2023🔥 -we NEED this on vinyl !!

[@romansingleton8831]

I too have the Ridge Racer Limited Edition Jogcon, mint, box and game

[@juancervantes2893]

I recently acquired three GBA games: Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem, and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. I had also wanted to get Etrian Odyssey HD Collection on Switch, but I'll wait for a sale.

[@robbiestroud2858]

Love it! Thank you for another shared Sunday.

[@talesfromthemidwest]

The fact that they got rid of the durian on Satori Mountain made the beginning of ToTK more of a challenge for me. In BoTW I would just head straight to Satori and collect all of the goodies. There's still some good stuff there in ToTK, but most of the +heart ingredients seem to be in the sky.

[@segaherman_twitch]

Nice. I always look forward to watching a happy console gamer video

[@bballwalli]

Suikoden is one of my favorite games of all time. Suikoden 2 is a classic, can’t wait for Eiyuden Chronicles.

[@LWAllen]

Tears is goated. The new Link Amiibo is only the second I’ve purchased ever. I also have pink yarn Yoshi.

[@cyberangel9967]

Dude...i feel you...i love jrpgs and now I'm happy to live in a time where they are plentiful! ❤😂😊

[@TheSGBrown]

Old school gamer, here. Found a HUGE box of ol' Nintendo DS and 3DS games with their strategy guides in my storage. . . WTT?

[@xanderskullion]

I just bought a ps5 and loving the FF16 demo. Almost done with Zelda but it's still so much content. Definitely one of the best games ever.

[@shelterfromcold8620]

Sunday traditions! John, 1999 was my favorite gaming summer too! I was 11 yrs old, staying up all night watching Evangelion tapes, chatting on msn messenger...beating RE Directors cut by myself at 2 am. Man oh man! Oh and Trinity Trigger is a fun good time!

[@velosiped135]

Happy Father’s Day Johnny! Just this week I picked up Trinity Trigger Day One Edition for Switch, Wasteland for C64, Gals Fighters for Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the Game Boy Advance.

[@bbthumb43]

Me and my bud ended up trying out phantasy star last night. Thought we were gonna put it down pretty quick but we ended up playing it for hours. Good recommend. Happy fathers day!

[@Cuuurllly]

Cool video man. Just got my Starfield controller today and pre-ordered Final Fantasy 16. Demo blew me away!

[@griffingardner7209]

You should make a special hour long video talking about Tears of the Kingdom. I truly believe it is one of the greatest games ever made and definitely one of my all time favs. It would be awesome to see an in depth video on it.

[@johnq3628]

I have been watching all the stuff on starfield and I can’t wait for that game

[@xSGD23x]

Got an OG GameBoy with an upgraded screen for Father’s Day. Really cool. It was my first gaming machine.

[@kurtisbunker7724]

Down in Oregon for the summer with the kids, so mostly picked up DS RPGs for me and dusted off lots of great multi player couch co-op games we have been waiting to play as a family with our hosts. Exciting summer of gaming and Pacific road trips. DS: Bravely Default (completed) Dragon Quest 9 (loving it) Dragon Quest 7 (apprehension…) Co-op: Street Fighter 6 River City Girls 2 Dragon Crown Pro Trinity Trigger Pre Order: FF16 Aliens Tactical game (name escapes me) Hope everyone is having a great summer Cheers

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

Nice couple of games. Always loved ridge racer and it's minigame in the loading screen.

[@feiwong3634]

Ridge Racer Type 4 is my all time favorite racing game, nice find there!!

[@thewise_1one856]

What a time to be alive💯 Trinity Trigger, Loop8 Summer of Gods, & Fairy Fencer have been my rotation lately. All beautiful games in their own way.🙏🏽💯 i also have Gal Guardians Demon Purge Physical release on the way😎👍🏽

[@ChitChatGaming]

Great pickups John! My son and I picked up some Wii games yesterday at a retro shop, otherwise nothing really new but things always change lol!

[@nicolp.1777]

Happy Father’s Day!! Thank you for another great episode. I may have to get trinity trigger now… cheers

[@doug527]

I always thought the dungeon music from the original The Legend of Zelda for the NES was haunting. I remember playing that game from 10pm to 3 am many nights and the dungeon theme mixed in with the action sound effects was simple but so good. (I keep crossing my fingers that Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection will come to steam!)

[@mglionheart5276]

I'm waiting for Armored Core 6. So right now, I'm playing Paper Mario on my N64, And I'm Loooving it so far.

[@joshlee4515]

Happy console gamer is the biggest video game legend I know!!!

[@djb6496]

I am LOVING TotK and I am taking my time with it like I did with BotW.

[@TheHorrorGeek]

I forgot all about the Fairy Fencer F game...guess I need to pick that up!

[@Jakco808]

I've been waiting for this! Went to a retro gaming shop in my state (few left) and copped Final fantasy 3 on DS and Final Fantasy 9 on PS1 as well

[@ApolloT-vp5dn]

We got the JogCon here in the UK too. I bought it upon release and I've still got my original game and controller.

[@jubeidejesus2206]

Recently my friend gave me his old psp which I repaired and ever since I’ve been trying to collect the UMD disks for them because it’s so unique ! Even tho I jailbroke the psp ,just having those disks and popping them in is so nostalgic and satisfying!

[@soulsippa]

I love New game stuff episodes I have seen so many cool things you have gotten over the years.

[@lankylemon8555]

I got a copy of SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake, I'm pretty excited to jump into it once I finish platinuming Battle for Bikini Bottom's remaster 😊

[@jordanmckee4970]

I’m 32 and playing cosmic shake and it’s so crap graphics but it’s amazing fun gameplay ❤

[@buckeye631]

I got a Sega Saturn and ordered an action replay cart to play the cheaper Saturn Japanese imports. I'm also excited for AEW Fight Forever. Happy Father's Day.

[@jb0258]

Ive been absolutely loving ToTK! Ive put over 100 hours into it, and have only done 2 of the 4 main story places. Although i just finished the Dragon Tear quest line last night... i wont spoil it, but man... what an experience

[@MyMakingWavesProject]

Interesting to hear about Suikoden. It was also the first PS1 game that I bought ever when I first got my PS1 (which was also used) after selling my dinner at school for months to save up the money. I'd seen it sitting on a shelf in a video store and liked the look of the box art and the general graphics on the back. Seem to remember a scene in-game on the back with a windmill on it that peaked my curiosity. I got it in the end and it was the first game that got me into turn-based RPG's after struggling with the concept a few years prior. All the RPG's I played were action based generally until that point.

[@inTravert8899]

Seeing that Suikoden vinyl brought tears to my eyes 🥲🥲

[@orionschutt]

I picked up Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, cool tactics game! Good!

[@udawg34]

This week I picked up the SNES pixel book from bitmap books, as well as the new starfield xbox controller, and they're absolutely both pieces I'm thrilled to have my hands on! That Wonder Boy collection looks amazing! Truly a collector's edition done right!

[@ThunderWolf1205]

#HappyConsoleGamer Great that your making another New Game Stuff Video. Always a plus in my opinion ^^ lb.

[@vidarCRC]

Happy Father's day Johnny! Not sure if is the same over there. But here it definitely is!

[@IXArcanine]

I have just been traveling the octopaths. Both one and two. I enjoy being a Traveler who travels the octopaths. Almost have both of them beat. Then maybe I'll get tears of the kingdom but I'm considering playing all the MegaMan collections first.

[@DavidRichards-ye2bp]

Weirdly, I’ve had the same experience of ToTK as you. For the first 10 hours I was just frustrated and then it clicked and became super addictive

[@whilewifeysleeps5850]

Yesterday I scored a preowned 4 for $40 @ gamestop... Returnal, Deathloop, Hades, Guardians of the Galaxy Also got R&C Rift Apart and Ghost of Tsushima DC last week new at $30 each. All PS5 disc's... can't go back to paying $70 for new drops 😒 💰

[@gui_epic8055]

Recently bought FFXVI, anxious to play in a few days. Cheers from Brazil S2
