Revealing My ENTIRE Video Game Collection...

After many requests, I'm happy to finally take the time to sit down and sift through my entire game collection. Hopefully, this inspires some of you to go out and collect!

There is nothing wrong with wanting to own something for the pure fact of owning it. A lot of those games may be ready available on the PS5 but thats the beauty of physical media or figures, cards or whatever collectable...the pure comfort of owning something. To get a bit real, We exchange our time and energy for money to survive and provide. Then half of it gets taken off us and put back into society and then the rest we spend on entertainment with nothing to show for it and nothing tangible. So in 2024, I don't want to hear someone excuse themselves for owning something real. Your collection is awesome Matty. Keep Collecting!

[@brennskiboi]

Finally reached a point of clarity and am “purging” my collection of things I don’t love. It’s easy to get sucked into it all and start picking up things to have them. It’s dope to see how tight your collection is and makes me feel even better about my decision to downsize 🙏

[@sikevillain]

The rotating shelve is really cool matt. Might be my first time seeing something like that in someone's home. Pretty slick & your collection is amazing matty.

[@heartstriker2831]

for real... that shelve is so cool I honestly want to get one

[@yeppumm1192]

Yea it’s sick, pretty good for a non cluttered look

[@danbauer3669]

I have a shelf for CD's like that. What are CD's, you ask? Nevermind....

[@Ryan_TheBold]

I just picked one up on the FB marketplace for some books. Definitely wanna do it for games too!

[@probablybobi]

Hi, it's 5am and 2024 where I am now. I just wanted to let you know your channel is definitely one of my most favorite things I found last year. Happy New Year, keep doing what you do.

[@jonasking9587]

I worked for a Gamecrazy as a GM (eventually), and amassed an insane collection. That was after being a huge Saturn and import enthusiast, and getting my NES in 85. I had almost everything I wanted outside of a Vectrex display. ...yeah, my wife at the time sold it all for $100 when I was deployed in the Army. EX wife. It actually messed me up for a while. I didn't want to collect anymore. I got back into collecting with the Switch. It didn't feel as special at first...until I got kids. Now, it's great knowing I can share it with them.

[@ForeRunnerODST]

Man, what you said about “Xbox One having the games” early on compared to the PS4 was so true to me at the time. Dead Rising 3, D4, and the Killer Instinct reboot all made me say “I NEED to get an Xbone”. There wasn’t much like that on the PS4 that enticed me at the time. After that things started going more downhill while PS4 got a ton of games.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Yeah people forget that for the first 2-3 years, the Xbox One had a bunch of killer exclusives, more so than the PS4 really. Stuff like Killer Instinct, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ryse: Son of Rome, Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the Blind Forest, D4: Dead Dreams Don't Die, Quantum Break, Rare Replay, Crimson Dragon (not a bad game), Forza Horizon 2/3, Forza Motorsport 5, Gears of War 4, etc. It wasn't until 2016 when Uncharted 4 released really that the PS4 really started to fire on all cylinders when it came to exclusives and Xbox One exclusives but the dust.

[@SloneKyle]

I'm glad you gave a shout out to Toy Story 3. That game was incredible. I remember summer 2010 playing toy box mode hours on end. Very unique!

[@erikbdixon]

Have a happy new year Matty

[@YdaxraTala]

I am jealous, my Ma got me to throw out most my covers of games as she wanted less stuff to squeeze into moving boxes whenever we'd move around. A lot of games I loved ended up lost like my Nintendo 64 which was my first console before Playstation. 😅Noice collection btw. 💯 Some of my first games I completed were the series of Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper. Kingdom Hearts. Games like these helped me through tough times.

[@FeiFongWang]

My mom threw away all my Yugioh cards and Shonen Jump mags when she became Christian.

[@YdaxraTala]

@@FeiFongWang Yeah, my Ma did that also, she was quite strict when I was a kid. All my Yugioh and Pokemon stuff were called demons and covered in marker, and she threw them in the bins despite me pleading.

[@FeiFongWang]

@@YdaxraTala Clearly Dark Magician was poisoning our souls. She showed regret when she saw what they go for on eBay though.

[@degeneratecollector9950]

Funny my ma made me keep everything .. boxes , manuals (n64 ,gba)everything and I praise the lord for her because I have a collection over 20k cause of her

[@arfanik9827]

@@degeneratecollector9950 your Ma is a G and deserves the world for that. Hate how easily swayed some parents were way back when Pokemon were deemed as demons lol

[@DeadBeat_Dave]

You hit the GameCube section and just NAILED me with two of my favorite childhood games. Scooby Doo: Night of 100 frights was awesome though I remember never being able to beat it. But when you dug out the Disney Xtreme Skate I couldn't believe it. I remember renting that game MULTIPLE times and absolutely loving it but never purchasing it. As I re-build my orginal xbox collection, both of those have become must haves that I haven't been able to find yet.

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

I’m jealous of the spinning DVD tower, they’re considered quite vintage in the UK so they’re not easy to get.

[@iceyvids7662]

I've been tryna find these in the UK for that last hour

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

@@iceyvids7662 haha same. I use to live in America and moved back to the UK. Ain’t thought about one of these in decades, soon realised why. You can’t find a decent sized one like Matty’s anywhere.

[@jonathansoko1085]

You can't make one? Serious question, are any of you men with abilities? Like, can you use your hands?

[@senayskii4118]

You don’t have amazon in the UK? Lol. Literally the exact ones he got are on there

[@KonohaRamenNoodles]

@@senayskii4118damn I’ll give it another look then

[@jrpggamer93]

Batman vengeance actually came with my GameCube that and Mario Sunshine 2002 Christmas

[@lunarx3dfx]

Jade Empire is a game that doesn’t get enough love. I got lucky and found a copy of it at a local retro game shop in the summer of 2020 new in the wrapper for $8. Best $8 I’ve ever spent. Also, opening up a brand new original Xbox game in 2020 is an experience I wish I could have again.

[@danbauer3669]

Game is still $8. With the bonus disc, maybe even $7.

[@Tainted_Twan]

Scooby doo night of 100 frights is GOATED!!

[@ridensroom6957]

Epic collection. I need a shelf like that too

[@amicuscure8s]

I love your videos/channels Matty! Having said that, I think a Video this long should have some timestamps or something. All the best

[@thecamobot]

13:10 Resistance Collection is just a bundle of the games so there's not too much point in having the set besides collection's sake. Cool to see the collection!

[@Vartazian360]

Gives entire collection to gamestop: "We'll give you 50 bucks"

[@danbauer3669]

Sounds about right. How are they going to make any money if they paid you fairly for crap you want to get off your hands? Go read about how pawn shops work, and sell your crap on the individual market.

[@toffiees6193]

That’s literally the best rotation tower I feel like I’ve been hunting for a perfect furniture piece for my collection and these would literally be perfect!!!

[@salient666]

My collection is pushing 8k right now, and I'm not making content. What the hell am I doing with my life. Your channel is so much fun and is enjoyed by so many people. I wish that I was creative enough to have started a KZbin channel. I would have loved to collaborate with you one day.

[@2723Xonk]

It’s so nice when someone gives Ratchet Deadlock love! One of my all time favorite games!

[@captainziggy82]

Physical game collections are always impressive to me, awesome video

[@smgofdvld]

Looking at those GameCube and ps2 games brings me back 😁 it’s like I traveled through time nice cases as well

[@who610055]

What a way to kick off the year

[@dionysisnance4204]

One day I hope to have a big collection like that.

[@Chaoitcme]

The only reason I have a big video game collection like this is because I never got rid of my childhood games and I started to collect games in large quantities over 15 years ago when prices were affordable. It is really hard to collect these days unless you have a ton of money you can afford to spend on video games. Prices are way too high these days to easily build a collection like this.

[@danbauer3669]

It is easier to buy all the games than it is to play all the games. The OG speed runners are people who only owned one game. Take it from someone who has collected far too much. I've got more than double what Matty is showing here. Don't aim for a large collection, aim for one that you can be proud of. Just buy the games that mean something to you, rather than buying games for the backlog, or buying games that someone said were good that you're never going to play.

[@zone6330]

Now this is the video we've all been waiting for.

[@sorryfofty_]

the amount of heat you have matty! i’m also a big game collector, so i love videos like these you definitely put me on to some pickups im going to look into!

[@UzamirG]

Great idea! Please share @Retro Rebound

[@zacbattles6987]

[@arfanik9827]

I agree, he should make a spreadsheet where he updates it when he sells some games or pick up others. Although I know it could be time-consuming.

[@tamim3319]

Cool setup Matty, some of these will be worth a lot in a few years especially with digital taking over and more limited runs!

[@danbauer3669]

I disagree. Maybe some of the PS2 one's, but everything newer is worthless. Those disc's have incomplete games on them that require internet connections and updates. PS2 and older is true retro gaming where the prices go up. PS3 and newer is modern gaming where the prices only go down. Oh, but Matty's setup is cool.

[@williamcarswell3012]

​@danbauer3669 it's ok to be wrong

[@danbauer3669]

@@williamcarswell3012 yes, that is correct. It is okay to be wrong. And newer games will not have the kind of price swings that older games do. That's a fact that you can disagree with if you choose to be wrong. Not too many games PS3 and newer valued over $100 unless they are special releases. They go down in price after release and rarely ever go back up.

[@johnkan11]

What a way to start off the year with this banger

[@Cazaril]

You have a great collection and I love the rotating towers! Retro Rebound is so awesome, please keep up the great work :)

[@dylanberserik8297]

Now i really want to see your trophy collection! I also started collecting because of you! Great video’s and greetings from the Netherlands

[@ggrapperhaus]

I'm surprised you don't collect more on the 3ds considering how many phenomenal jrpgs there are on that console.

[@MrGrokthis]

Damn you, Matty! After your video I had to go buy azure strikers gun volt! Loved your collection, dude. I too played every minute of lost odyssey and loved it.

[@Liquid_Fear]

Excellent collection! I myself will be closing in on my 600th game soon according to Game Eye. (Little flex) Will quit dragging my feet on Toy Story 3 and will be getting that one soon! Have an excellent New Years Day Matty!

[@danbauer3669]

It is easier to buy all the games than it is to play all the games. Large collections like mine (2437 according to my Gameye) are wasteful. I'm never going to play all of what I have, but I am going to buy more......

[@Lone_Wanderer138]

I'm glad I'm not only one with over 5k games and have a collecting addiction @matty thanks for this glorious video

[@Shynotic]

We played so much local multiplayer on Star Fox Assault growing up. I remember all my friends with Xbox and PlayStation were surprised with how much fun it was.

[@Shynotic]

007 Nightfire is also a must have for local multiplayer

[@davidpallotti4502]

You have inspired me to finally go hunting for the PS3 collections and start my PS3 collection in general lol. I have always been an Xbox guy, so any cross platform games i always get on the Xbox. Because more often than not, for every generation, the Xbox version looks and runs better, most of the time. So all i have collected from Sony are the exclusives.

[@johnpameh6748]

Cool collection, reminds me of my old setup. I had rows of nes, snes, GameCube, Dreamcast and ps1 games, which I sold to pay rent. I do collect for Wii, switch, PlayStation 3-4-5, and Xbox one (and 360 that will play on my one s) in my house I had two full rooms of games, then my wife and I both lost our jobs, ditched the house, and sold the games to survive, until we started working. That was 10 years ago. I was gonna collect all the ps5 games, but a lot are not great. My switch is mostly Mario and donkey Kong. May get Lies Of P when price goes down. Where are your cartridge games.

[@FierceGiraffes]

The store he is referring to in Lynn Mass is Second Chance Video Games, run by a great guy names Jay Marsters, he actually recently moved his store from Lynn to Salem a great new location, you should definitely check out while in the area

[@skullkid-loquendero3872]

13 Sentinels is one of the greatest games in history for me I recommend you to play it you won't regret the amazing experience

[@karenlowe9283]

Total underrated game

[@miked3018]

Matty please make a Mega Man Legends 1-2 & The Misadventures of Tron Bonne video 🙏 Great collection, you have influenced my ever growing physical collection 😂

[@jrpggamer93]

It's funny how you brought up Spider-Man's cutscenes because I grew up with the PS1 and I did not like the way the N64 did it but up until the PS4 Spider-Man game came out it was still my all-time favorite Spider-Man me and my cousin beat that game like 20 times growing up so much fun

[@Wickywix]

lets go bro 🙏

[@shogun_e1337]

Great content as always, Matty. I just have 2 questions for you - 1) Where does one go about procuring one of those rotating towers 2) Can you please do a video on Uzumaki Chronicles?

[@ShreducatorShane]

Video game collection > bit coin.

[@PsychoSavage88]

Matty it was so nice to hear you say "Most ppl hated ff13, but NOT ME" 13 series in my opinion is some of the best games in the ff series along with 7, 10 and 12, alot of the music in 13 is some of my fav game music of all time. I enjoyed the combat system, and throughout the series the characters grew on me, 13-2 and lightning returns are my fav out of all the 3 though.

[@seaniverse]

I cannot express in words how jealous I am of your Trails collection… It’s, like, crying tears of blood jealousy. Also, Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights is a certified banger. It’s THE hidden gem game I played as a kid. Wish I still had it

[@joeyyalexander92]

great stuff Matty, and yes we need the Starforce remaster treatment!!

Thank you for showing us!

Your collection is so similar to mine its scary only difference is the ones you have for content reasons some I dont bother with and the platforms may be different depending on the title for some but I swear its almost a copy and paste of my stuff 😂

Makes me regret buying digital for so many years

[@danbauer3669]

My Xbox 360 died recently and thanks to a corporate merger, even if I replace it I'll never connect an Xbox 360 to the internet again, so 300+ digital games that I spent real world money on are gone forever. F__k digital libraries.

[@YaBoiDingus]

If you're considering recommendations, Matty, I would suggest Tenchu Stealth Assassins for PS1, The Bouncer for PS2, and Resonance of Fate for PS3/Xbox360. I spent an ungodly amount of time on these games back in the day.

[@mnbrileyman4605]

Great collection Matty! Definitely need some more ratchet and clank 😉 Also i havent seen or thought of using a spinning shelf, makes a lot of sense! Are those more recent shelves? Would love to get some for my collection

[@TheKotor2309]

That’s it?

[@joeyisabsb1]

I think we're so desensitized to large game collections on KZbin since they are usually overly large to a point to where it looks like a hoarders house. When we see a collection like this it seems so small by comparison when in fact, to the average person, they would consider this a very large collection.

[@QuackSsanctuary]

Just catching up on stuff I missed. Very nice collection.

[@FromTheAtticTV]

My PS3 era was so similar. Having the chance to replay all my favorite PS2 games in HD and 60fps was just the best.

[@iamtaco4207]

You showed a lot of awesome stuff in this video but I didn't know Fighterz had a steelbook. It's actually my favorite fighting game of all time so you know I immediately jumped on eBay and found me a full in box copy with steelbook.

As far as having a physical copy even if the game gets digitized, is do you have every game downloaded and ready to go right now? What if you lose wifi or the servers crash or something? That digital is gone or unavailabe for a time. That disc aint going anywhere, or at least it shouldnt. If an apocalypse happens especially. Those discs will be worth more than gold

[@BensyBens]

If you liked urban reign you should really need to collect all of Namco fighting games on the ps2 (especially tekken 5). They made the best fighting games in this generation.

[@Graham2468]

Can't believe you don't have GTA Chinatown Wars!!! One of the best GTAs EVER!!!

[@imreszabo4256]

I dont know if you have Alice Madness Returns, but imo this is one of the best Xbox 360 games of all time...

[@CyberCross222]

That Scooby-Doo on GameCube has a major bug where it won't play on Silver GameCubes. Literally just silver-colored Cubes. Wii, Black Cube, Purple Cube, works. Silver, try to boot, black screen every time. Of course my GameCube is silver, so when I upgraded my PS2 copy to a GameCube copy, I ended up buying a Wii. Went through buying a few copies of that game before realizing it was the system itself and not the disc.

Happy New Year, Mr. S. Thanks for the outstanding coverage.

[@artminusme]

Great collection! I still recommend DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 1 cuz of the PS2 memory card perks you get for playing 2 & 3 afterwards. The spines is so funny to me because it’s definitely a region thing. In the 🇬🇧 the PS2 spines were plain white with black text, and with the PS2 being my favourite system, I don’t mind the uniform, one colour spines for a system. The one thing I hate about the PS2 🇺🇸 spines is that the Playstation logo in the top corner having a random white square background where 🇬🇧 spines make way more sense having the Playstation logo with a black background.

[@tommyo.t.k.1703]

Thanks. Happy new year! I don't understand why people say physical collecting takes too much space. I have around 50 discs and it barely takes any space. 50 might be too much for me, but not in terms of physical space, i just barely have time to play them. And if you compare them to board games they doesn't take any space at all) Seriously, man. Review Star Wars Rebellion and Twilight Imperium.

[@willxowo]

happy new year :) first vid i see here i think lol, i've played hundreds of games, from a console perspective, maybe most and most fun with the N64, while a lot of the other series, my most slacked on maybe is the PS2 era, because I was poor that time, and now there's just way too much to catch up on. I did prioritize gaming when not school so during that PS2 I did have one with a very small library, loads of time on GTA SA lol. But aside that.. I was reminded the other day talking about games, a friend got upset at me he was abrivating something about TLOH, and I was like.. The Last of Hoes? xD jokingly but seriously not knowing what he meant. he hates TLOU so he wasn't sure why he talk to me after that lol. but it was the legend of heroes mentioned here, i'm sure it's a good game, I haven't even played chrono trigger, but I spend more time making my own rpg these days, I could be missing out, but, there's a lot to play ): nice collection though.

Seeing stuff like this always makes me want to get into collecting. I have a decent collection but I traded a lot of stuff in when I was younger and now have a random assortment of games with no boxes and boxes with no games. Maybe I'll take it slow and allow myself like $50 per paycheck to start slowly filling out my collection.

[@joeyisabsb1]

I did the same and don't get discouraged seeing ppl with big collections compared to yours. I started collecting when I was a teenager but didn't really ramp up my buying until years later. I currently own over 500 games now but which I think is close to the same amount in this vid but he could have more.
