Look son, it's a Pete Dorr video, make a wish.

[@Dizzy206]

I became a fan after watching your Xbox 360 collection, back in the start of high school. That was 2008. So glad to see you back on KZbin.

[@TheHollowBlade]

Holy shit, never thought i would see you do a youtube video ever again! This is a complete gift lol.

[@garretthintz4154]

We need updated game room tour

[@ProjectGibix]

PeteDorr you're like a relic of the past that has remained consistent with his style of content. I really miss KZbinrs who have started small but quickly became a sellout. Never change, bro!

[@rustyshackleferd22]

Man I really wish you would do regular videos Pete. Great to see a new video!

[@RE-LOOIE]

"Alright hey guys..." Been too long, Pete

[@RubyMVmistress]

wow i remember u 2. huh flashbacks when i was gaming more.

[@RE-LOOIE]

@@RubyMVmistress Cheers!

[@terrencecoccoli524]

Look at him w/' his strategically located Twitch hoodie and plushie. Too funny

[@olijackson3870]

I get such a strange feeling watching this video. This channel is what got me into playing and collecting different and obscure games back in 2013. It's what formed a lot of what I do today. Watching this is a type of nostalgia I can't describe.

[@johnromanoski6418]

I don’t understand why you don’t post on KZbin more because I’ve watched your twitch many times and there is not that many people that watch. I feel like you have become more interested in the money than influencing a bigger crowd on KZbin in which you have a way bigger reach to people.

[@back2the80s]

Bingo John!

[@janglyriff]

Pete!! It's about time!!! More videos please! We've missed you.

Pete Dor video!!! What next?! A new All Gen Gamers podcast?!

[@happysharkable]

bard-a-bar

[@karlorthehunter458]

Omg Pete dorr!!! This is the kinda youtuber I miss

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

Just a straight up top 10 list without the BS you see in other videos. Pete is a legend KZbinr. I'm glad to have watched nearly all of his videos. Thank you sir!

[@wolfpacsyxx]

Happy console gamer is great

[@Doomxeen]

The Sega Channel absolutely blew my mind. I played it at a family friend's home on the other side of the state, the kids in my hometown literally didn't believe that it even existed.

[@hypersonic1337]

Always good to see you in video form Pete Similar story for you and me with Saturn, I check my old ebay recepit from when I first got my Saga like 11 years ago, $140. Most I ever had and still have paid for a game. Insane what its going for now as well as many other things

[@sexypizza55563]

A Pete Dorr video, the white Buffalo of KZbin vids.

[@HaythamGruxton]

I paused for a moment when I saw this video in my sub feed. My reaction was "holy shit Petedorr made a new video". Always enjoyed your content.

[@Ascendancy-]

PLEASE make more videos........... don't abandon it for twitch........

[@SuperShinySquirtle]

Bro your videos are awesome, I hope they keep coming!

[@SoloBoardGamingKnight]

Welcome back to KZbin! I know you’ve been streaming now and then but good to see you back!

[@elgon6]

Always nice to see a new video Pete :) Personally for me I'd say my favorite console has to be between PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox 360, it's really hard to pick between them.

[@finalzgames]

Oh god it's Pete!!! You've been missed on the KZbin's

[@valor992]

This reminds me of the listening to the old All Gen Gamers way back in the day when the original crew was still altogether.

[@jackrippon1604]

Been taking my time watching this video slowly in chunks mostly while eating lunch, really great to see you upload again on YT pete, would love to see more.

[@AreyouthirstyTV]

I really enjoyed the video Pete! Thank you! I’ve been playing a ton of ps1 lately as well. Such a charming system and era of gaming. New fav as well. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@videogameobsession]

Meeting your quota of 1 KZbin video per year. ;) Subscriber for 13 years.. I hope to see you more often on here.

[@jkemp6791]

I’m usually pretty excited to hear opinions different than mine. But CDi over SNES?!?!

[@Midori_Hoshi]

You really think the CDi is better than the Super Famicom? Come on.

[@absoluteclownworld]

Pete's gone crazy

[@Post_Leako]

Honestly, playing Mario 64 DS with the D-Pad and holding B (or whatever button it was) was perfectly fine for me. I loved that game.

[@mogwai_for_sale]

hard to deny the incredible library of the ps1 and ps2... nothing else comes close if we are being honest (other then the ds perhaps). there will never be a period like that again due to the mobile industry stripping a good portion of the developers away from the console space. in the ps1/ps2 days, there was a concentration of games being developed for those consoles -- so much so that it was overwhelming. i continue to this day still discover new games to check out on those consoles despite having already watched dozens of hidden gems videos... just when you think you have seen it all, a game you have never seen appears and catches your eye. i feel that way about the wii to some extent as well. the ps1/ps2/ps4/ds and snes would likely make my top 5 list, followed by the genesis, ps3, psp, 3ds and wii (in no particular order).

[@GameEscape]

I know streaming is the popular medium now, but to me, nothing beats Pete on KZbin.

[@karlorthehunter458]

Pete your awesome, no bullshit, no fake hype, no clickbaiting for views, just pure passion here, you are a rare breed anymore

[@mikeb6410]

The amount of nostalgia that just hit me by noticing your FFXI poster that came with the game is overwhelming lol. Can't remember if it came with the game or the manual but I had it on my wall as well at my moms house. God damn I miss that game so much.

[@gamebent]

Thanks Pete. Interesting hearing your experience with consoles.

[@SNESmapper]

Published on Apr 18, 2019. Yup, it's a new Pete Dorr video.

[@OtterSkull]

Awesome you decided to make this video Pete, welcome back to KZbin!!!

[@ryezio3637]

My childhood just returned in the form of a new Pete Dorr video, we've missed ya Pete. (Yes I know he has Twitch, but I prefer KZbin)

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

aren't you wart from super mario 2?

[@HowBigistheMap]

I still love PC the most. Looking around and enjoying the beautiful game world with a mouse...

[@darcyska]

This was a great list! I love your stories and reasonings behind your choices, so much better than just listing a few fun games on the platform and moving on.

[@nikrbawker]

I respect your list a lot but here's my list best to lower: SteamLink/SteamOS or Steam - The best modern gaming platform in console formfactor. N64 - Really unique and awesome. Very instant gaming compared to the competition at the time. Wii w/ Gamecube - Mods, The fact that most of these had a GameCube in them is crazily awesome. PSP - Mostly because of the homebrew software but the games and device is amazing. PS2 - Huge library of great games, I missed out completely on this generation so I idolize it. PS3 - MGS4, Demon Souls and more. 3d Graphics from this gen were very developed, I feel they have cut development time since then. Wii U - A more modern success at Dreamcasts little display in my opinion. Xbox - Mods, Halo 2 way before the PC edition and a awesome 4 controller port system. PlayStation - One of the best libraries for the first 3d generation of gaming. Windows 98 - Although this is the furthest from an actual console it is very possible to have some one make one for you that performs as streamlined as a console and some of the games from this generation are still best played on original compatible chips.

[@drew8235]

I do agree that the Dreamcast is one of the most distinct consoles. You immediately know it's a Dreamcast game just by the look of it

[@JustAskJake]

Wow this is a blast from the past because you look exactly the same as I remember. I started collecting video-games after seeing your videos and listening to AGG; now my collection is in the 1000's, I'm married, working and have a daughter. Weird. Anyway, good video Pete. This reminds me of the KZbin I miss.

[@Chazza534]

follow his twitch channel, he's on there quite a lot

[@stephendrown3808]

Omg !!!!@ Christmas came early this year . New petedorr video !!!!!!! We miss you so much Pete and still love you .

[@hiphopopautumus]

Always glad to see you again Pete!! You’ll never really know how much you impacted my video game taste and trajectory growing up! I hope to see you soon on FFXI

[@dwah1986]

Pete with more returns than a Gamestop on December 26th

[@MegaSean1991]

Great list! Always love when a petedorr video appears out of nowhere.

[@jayvman1311]

Great video Pete :) maybe one day it might be worth giving a full video to cdi to show the better games and try and show the better stuff It has. I don't own it but would love to know what you see in the console. Great video though thank you for the fantastic video.

[@artminusme]

I literally surfed ur channel last week, so good to see u again Pete

[@jonahstoyroom7516]

I have and love around 400 PS1 ntsc games and I would love to see some PS1 import videos

[@Ninten70]

Welcome back Pete!! My favorite console of all time is the SNES.

[@hepwo91222]

Didn't even make his list? Ummm... really?

[@MrKreisKlinge]

I hope you're doing well, Pete. Used to love listening to your podcast way back!

[@philhartmann6502]

I found the cdi to be really cool also and I was surprised after watching the avgn video on it and hotel Mario and then actually playing it that it's pretty fun

[@randompersononthisearth7812]

holy cow. he actually made a video.

[@times7171]

we should rename him Pete More - we need more of him. Great Easter treat

[@NostalgiaKing]

I miss your videos! I literally just went to your KZbin channel to watch a few old videos and bam! A new video? From two weeks ago?! Great video, man. These talking to the camera videos were always my favorites; I didn't need fancy editing and gameplay footage. Hopefully you can make some more videos like this in the future!

[@ravenone6001]

New Pete video and I'm shitting myself out of excitement

[@Xp3rt1se]

I am also a huge fan of the PS1/PSX. I'd be interested to know what ps1 imports you have/recommend.

[@bmaga123]

Great video! I think the most shocking thing about your list is not the inclusion of CD-i but that you didn't include the SNES especially with your love of RPGs and Platformers which are the 2 genre's that system is known for 🤔. I have been watching you since 2009 and get excited everytime I see you post a new video. I wish you still posted content on the regular and I'm sure I'm not alone!

[@ericriding]

The man, The myth, The legend Pete Dorr returns. Good to see you back

[@odin8214]

will you be doing another room tour soon?

[@TheUltimateMarioFan]

Mad respect for representing the CD-i, bro. It's your unconventional ideas that are what drew me to your channel in the first place. You totally go against the gaming grain, and I love that.

[@asyrafjalil3506]

Its been 10 years since I followed your channel

[@ron4538]

We missed you bud do a updated game room tour because that was the first vid I watch from yours and you made me into a Final fantasy and rpg fan thanks for everything.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

My number 1 is the PS1 as well. The RPG's on that system are untouchable, God level. Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX, The Legend Of Dragoon, Legend Of Legaia, Guardian's Crusade, Grandia, Alundra, Wild Arms, The Granstream Saga it was just stacked with so many great RPG's. Then it also had great platforming games like Spyro 1, 2, and 3. Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3. Croc 1 and 2. Tomba! 1 and 2. Klonoa. Just an incredible system with 4 times as many games as the N64.

[@HollowRick]

100% agree with this also Vagrant story was such a unique RPG

[@sonicmania9993]

Hey, Pete - Not sure if you still look at these comments, but I'd love it if you'd make some videos about PS1 JP imports as you discuss in the video. In general, I collect in a similar way as you do: thorough research (usually of one console at a time), followed by careful purchases of games I know I'll want to play. Saturn is my #1 console and I have found well over 100 JP-only Saturn games worth having even for someone like me with minimal knowledge of the Japanese language. Like you, I have more JP Saturn games now than NA Saturn. PS1 on the other hand is in my top 5 consoles but I've only found about 50 JP-only games for PS1, and very few of them are the same level of "must haves" that a bunch of Saturn shooters and 2D fighters are. To me, "must haves" from PS1 JP library would include games like Harmful Park, Gungage, Gunners Heaven, Vib-Ribbon, Tobal 2, Panzer Bandit, Robbit MonDieu, Pepsiman. But after that it seems like there are merely "good" games. From listening to this video, it seems like you feel the opposite: you like Saturn and enjoy your Saturn collection, but have recently been more and more a PS1 fan partly because you've found a large number of great JP-only PS1 games. What are they?

[@apebitmusic83]

Haha I think you said the “bandcamp” instead of “bandwagon”. Great vid Pete. I wanna check out a Let’s Play of Burn: Cycle.

[@claygraphics1]

No one can argue with this list Pete, it's YOUR list. Great personal reasons and explainations as to why they 'made the cut'.

[@JebberGamingJaws]

Def did not expect this in my newsfeed. Sweet!

[@thebigplume]

Awesome video loved the list especially the Xbox arcade love

[@FenderLesPaul1989]

Great list, #1 and #3 would totally make my top 3 too. Just two great systems with a lot of memories and good games.

[@mindscan420]

Pete, any chance you could share your list of good PS1 japan imports that are playable without knowing the language?

[@Xxguitarist12]

This reminds me of a podcast, I dig it. You could totally do a podcast talking about different systems/retro topics by yourself.

[@turbografx7]

Yes!!!!!! A new Pete Dorr video!!! This made my whole month!!!

[@TheProutBrothers]

Pete dorr video in 2019?! 😱

[@swam4362]

When I was a little kid we had a Super Nintendo and my first game ever was Super Star Wars V. Then the family got a Playstation and my favorite games were Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Coolboarders, and Crash Bash. Shortly after, we got a Playstation 2 and I mostly played Star Wars games on it, but Kingdom Hearts was a big chunk of my childhood. I had basically all of the Nintendo handhelds like the Gameboy and DS. Super Mario, Pokemon, and Kirby were my main handheld games. But then we get into the Xbox 360 where I really got into gaming with games like Call of Duty 4, World at War, Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops and other series like Halo and Gears of War. Then when those series kind of died down I got into Dark Souls and that sunk a lot of my life. That's probably my favorite game series ever. The PS4 is good. Bloodborne is a must have and so is God of War. The Switch was cool but had a very limited library for the first year and a half and still kind of does. But Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild were definite must haves. Now I mostly play World of Warcraft anf Counter Strike on PC.

[@CaptainNatron]

Interesting list for sure! It’s cool that you put so much time into hashing out the list, I know that must have been hard. And KZbin is a better place when you make videos !

[@JD69Han]

You have an insanely nice collection, have always enjoyed your heart felt vids. Hope you’re doing well man.

[@gleamingtv3946]

I've been watching your channel since 2008. I started collecting games after.

[@suprsonicmariogalaxy]

Please upload your ebay series on youtube!

[@cory2361]

my favorite systems in no order snes, nes, sega ms, atari 2600, genesis, dreamcast, ps2, gamecube, n64, 3ds

[@TheMountainman14]

Holly shit I never thought I’d see the day that Pete would make another video!

[@Chicomite]

Good to see a vid man. I'm an absolute die hard for the PS1, and you're right, the imports are so vast and so many are great games we nvr saw. For me, Ganbare Goemon Oedo Daikaiten, Ganbare Goemon Shin Seddai Shumei, and Ganbare Goemon Uchuu Kaizoku Akogingu were games I was so happy to know existed and play, new Goemon platformers(in 2D 32-bit glory). Of course there's so much more like Little Ralph and Hermie Hopperhead, and then trippy stuff like Groove Adventure Rave: Plue No Daibouken(not worth hundreds of dollars though, sorry). The U.S. got some stuff like Adventures of Lomax, Silhouette Mirage, Skullmonkeys, etc. PS2 has great imports as well, but the PS1 is my "stuck on an island" console for sure.

[@HelvecioGomes]

Your videos are great hopefully you upload more often.

[@Le-Big-Makke]

Does anyone know if Pete played The Witcher III and what he thought about it?

[@KingNekro]

Never understood why some people have such a hard time saying "library". Not that it's a big deal or anything, but like... when you're saying it so many times in a video it gets a bit cringe lol. Gotta remember there's a letter R in the middle bro! Don't take it the wrong way though, just giving you a hard time haha. I still loved the video Pete. I've always loved the way you give introspect onto your childhood and even adult memories of video games and the immense amount of passion you have for these games and memories. I always can picture you having these experiences in my mind while you spill out the details of these memories. Thanks for taking the time to make this list!

[@krazytaxicabbie]

Holy crap! Welcome back man!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Always enjoy hearing your thoughts on games Pete :)

[@reformedstoic1320]

If you made a video explaining why other systems didn't make this list, I'll bet that would be amazing too.

[@GameRelated]

Hey Pete great video my man - I'm noticing more and more top favourite consoles is very personal and what genre of games you play the most. I was very surprised that the SNES & Gamecube never made the list. BTW there are heaps of Japanese games that never came out on SNES similar to the PS1.

[@Bandersnatch187]

We need the yearly Burn Cycle stream soon. It has to be beaten one of these days! Definitely need to see the Condemned games during horror month.

[@sbranham314]

Another Pete video! Glad to see you again buddy. I wish you made more KZbin videos. Hope all is well with you.

[@kevinwright4673]

Heard he was locked up for 9 months for raging over a top 10 list with his old lady.

[@gamernaut8864]

PS1 and PS2 are also my all-time, favorite #1 and #2 consoles. We will probably never see libraries like these consoles have ever again. I'm with you, man.

[@MrEscobar.]

I really was expecting You showing up this games and consoles!!

[@Guns7469]

Well I can come out of my depression now. Great to see you back Godfather
