Whatever the subject is, I’ll never get tired of watching authentic footage from that era. From the homes to the video stores to whatever. The excitement and feeling of surprise when you got a new game or console from your parents. Thanks for another fun and endearing video!

I remember my brother gave me the money to buy SMB3 and we couldn't find it anywhere. I bought Super C instead. Then a couple weeks later he told me to get him something from his jacket and there it was. I don't know where he was able to find it. That had to be my favorite NES game ever. So many hours spent on it. Big shout out to my big bro, whose name is coincidentally also Mario btw.

I worked at Kay-Bee in 1990. I remember when that cartridge came out how impossible it was to keep in stock. We kept an actual waiting list, on paper and everything, with names and phone numbers. However, being an employee had its advantages and I wound up snagging one of the first copies. I couldn't say whether it was the error version, but chances are it was, just by the time frame. It may still be at my mom's house. I'll have to look for that one next time I visit.

Such an awesome story Tyler. Awesome Aunt. I remember having every kid in the neighborhood in my living room when SMB3 came out cause I have an awesome mother & I was 1 of few to be lucky enough to get a copy when it came out. I used to have several sealed video games in my collection but have since sold them off. I bet those memories are worth way more than a $150,000. Shout out to dad to though because my step father was obsessed with the cam corder back then & i think every home video i have now the whole family tells him to shut it off stop recording and as an adult now Im just so thankful to have them home videos. So props to dad for capturing it all 30+yrs ago 👍

Last year I began buying up all systems I can get my hands on such as NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Playstation, X Box, etc. I started buying CIB copies of games, my friend that owns a retro store got a copy of SMB3 CIB, ended up being the Left Bros copy I purchased. Not sealed or completely mint but pretty good condition. I'm slowly making up for lost time.

What I would say to myself would be, "Have fun buddy, because time goes by REALLY fast." You said it perfectly. Games were meant to be played. I had a couple of similar situations myself and it used to bother me quite a lot, but nowadays I realize that playing and loving my games back then made me who I am today. I'm glad that YOU'RE glad that you opened and played it. Way to go aunt Michelle! 👍

Another fan frickin tastic video Tyler! I might be a couple years older than you - born in '81, but the feelings of these magical past times are mutual. If I could go back in time and not open a game (or rather buy two copies and keep one unopened), it would be a toss up between Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. (Oh, and full disclosure, as I watched this video I rushed to my game room to check if I had the variant copy of SMB3...I did not lol)

My favourite game ever. Amazing memories playing it as a 4 year old and laying in bed watching my dad play it, who is now an alcoholic so always think of this game when i think of good memories.

It's amazing you have so much video footage from back then. It's so rare. Many people didn't have a video camera. You didn't say if you still have that same copy complete even to this day. I still have my originals.

Credit to the cameraman who attached the light and got the great exposure. That footage looks great in 60fps - smooth nostalgia.

...and theres me being upset about havin to sell my entire collection in 2013 because life dictated such hardships - at a well bellow market value; when i had such rare games such as say keio flying squadron on the mega cd, along with demo disc worth over 500 notes in its own right, when i sold the entire collection for less! (Granted my collection wasnt mint, it was well loved and certainly done many many maannyyy miles! - most cd consoles were very temprimental as example....) - it really hurts a lot more of late as i just lost my dad recently, who was the one who probably bought about 94% of my collection as a kid.... But yeah, if I owned a time machine delorean, then of course I would of explained the value of my collection despite the desperation and urgent sale needed due to me losing my job and rent needed etc etc I guess I am very thankful for emulation because I own my entire collection on my phone now today...! Plus arcades I could only dream of having, with an 8bitdo mini controller hanging off my car interior mirror, Bluetooth as my sound system:- yea its a nice cosy gaming area in my car at least... Imagine telling 14 year old me i would have owned 2000 games, half of them the ACTUAL arcade on a small device known as a "smart phone" all downloaded from "thin air" (wifi) and basically for free... i would of thought you were havin a weird joke with me! - Much love my guy and i am really hurting with my dad who recently departed, however, where i failed in life with money and career,other than a very good strong 20 year+ marriage, i will now be set up for life thanks to his hard work and career success.... Dad never ever let me down and went far beyond his call of duty.... I hope dad,that i handle everything you left to me correctly and not fail you like i did in my adolescents.... Life hurts sometimes but games really are my closest link to my dad...

I grew up with Super Mario Advanced 4 version but I am in love with the NES version. Today at 28 years old I feel the full excitement you guys must have felt in 1990. I am playing it even more than Super Mario Bros Wonder.
