[@MrThankman360]

Cloud Air He totally does look like Al!

[@tednelson5574]

[@blakfloyd5602]

Nice accidental typo since Tim Allen was in the movie The Santa Clause lol.

[@retrogaminginsanity7585]

what are u dumb hes married

[@oliverrendall]

Made up for you John. Some people have fancy intros, lightning and cameras but you MORE than make up for it with being genuinely delighted about games and collecting. Inspirational character in the community. Made up for you.

[@courage0243]

Congratulations John! It couldn't have happened to a nicer or more appreciative guy. You rock bro!

[@ryanspengler4877]

Totally a full set, no asterisk or footnotes. Complete and amazing. Congrats IJH!

[@KenzieTrinityDeasy]

I’m proud of you for completing the SNES. Me my self I have around 700+ SNES games. Good on ya John

[@ScottTomasso]

John I have to say you're such a likable guy you make it easy to watch your videos. I can definitely feel your passion. Good vibes to you brother.

[@challaxeluithiadir6272]

when i was in the army in the nineties, i saw the indoor M16 range that used the super NES. it was sort of like a carnival game.

[@Poweronretrogaming]

Don't know why people have disliked this video.Congratulations mate, you can tell how much you love the system and collecting it.This is what I like to see emotion in a collector. it's just not another thing and on to the next one.

[@rdill6371]

Congratulations on your collection! I recently bought a 25" Sony console TV, just so I can play the Atari, NES, SNES, N64, Xbox, PS1 and PS2 on classic tube TV. Working on softmodding the Xbox. Again, awesome collection. Being a child of the 80's is an honor.

[@kylesteele4163]

No asterisk, it's a full set. You're going to have to change the intro now. Way to go John.

[@worldreformer1]

Yes, and hopefully go back to the original intro music--loved that the best; it was unique.

[@unclecharliesunholyworldof7145]

It is not a complete collection. * will remain.

[@martinaee]

I agree. Some insanely obscure random games that 99.999 percent of people don't even know about don't count.

[@PolykillPodcast]

It is a complete collection of retail games.

[@worldhello1234]

Off course they do, since that applies to many games of his collection.

[@rockman369]

John, that is awesome man congrats!! I also got my Super Nintendo in 93 on my 13th birthday. My parents got me the Super Nintendo and star fox. I am currently collecting Super Nintendo, but luckily I picked up aero fighters, and in all places my next door neighbor had it. But thanks again John for the love and determination that you show in this wonderful hobby that retro collecting!!

[@xx7secondsxx]

Mann.... I'm horribly depressed and my anxiety is to where im sitting and shaking! At 5:44 am! Ur happiness is making me smile! And be happy! So glad I decided to watch such a rad video and am so happy for you to have the set complete n be soooo stoked!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘💚🖤💚🖤💚🤩🤩😎😎

[@godbilla1991]

You're the man John Hancock! Thanks for sharing this awesome video. Congrats on completing your set!

[@anthonyharper7263]

I don't care what ANYONE says. Your loose set looks beautiful!!!!

[@atranfanatic]

Congrats man on completing your SNES collection! I collect for multiple systems. But I do do it differently, and collect games I like to play. So you could say I am not a completionist, but still a collector and gamer.

[@YayJess]

that's what I do! I love looking at my collection & just seeing MY perfect collection of games I like to play & games that have been my favorites throughout the years. cheers!

[@chrisrezende]

The same here. I don't consider myself a collector, but I could say I'm a game enthusiast. I collect games from franchises I've enjoyed back in the day and that I still enjoy nowadays. Some of them are The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid and a few more.

[@TrainerCTZ]

John is one of few completionists i personally give a pass to as his ultimate goal is clearly a museum. Otherwise it seems very lamely OCD. Spending thousands on pieces of shit is another great example of how far humans have devolved from the evolutionary chain.

[@zeroxdogma]

Same here, I collect only my favorites games and CIB , I don’t like only the cartridge.

[@janX9]

That's the way to do it. Get just the games you enjoy. No need to buy a game just for the sake of having it. That makes your game collection very special and special to you. I bet you have a great collection that matters to you. I sold my consoles and games and replaced them with USB Controllers and a PC. I don't have the luxury of collecting the way you do, let alone completionest collecting. Time, Money and Space are just some of the factors I cannot contend with.

[@J_Business]

love the positivity. it's also really cool that you mention a museum where people can see this history

[@mdavis5826]

You look like the happiest man in the world- so happy see this mighty collection completed!

[@gayle-annrumsby1243]

Congrats John I could never complete a collection like you. While I enjoy collecting, I am looking only for games that I enjoy and or remember as a kid. That's enough for me and that's the beauty of this hobby. You can pursue it any way you like and whatever fulfills you is reward enough. Congratulations again and keep up the good work.

[@Cosanplayprops]

Congrats John, I really wasn't into Super Nintendo with only 4 games but now as I got older I've come to like the Super Nintendo an are collecting some games I have 6 now over my 4 when I was growing up. Your such inspiration to us gamers.

[@mikeg155]

Not a game collector, but as a vintage toy collector, I know that happiness you're displaying in your face. Congrats!

[@johnnygomez7236]

Congratulations on completing you Super Nintendo collection!! It's my favorite console of all time. I have alotta of childhood memories playing it. I got mine with Zelda for Christmas when I was 7, it was my first game console. I personally think it's the best one Nintendo made and it held up really well with time. I enjoy watching your videos John Hancock and admire your passion as a gamer and collector.

[@robertojimenez721]

it's the greatest console of all time, love brother.. i'm trying to go for complete collection myself definitely hard.

[@Weajy]

That smile is infectious! I love how you're always so happy all the time, love all your videos!!!!

[@ACosmicCastaway]

That's beyond cute. Sorry for not knowing about you earlier, man. Awesome collection, happiness overflowing and that's so nice.

[@spakattack]

So happy for you John. Looking forward to seeing you show more cool stuff you have collected, and just talking about stuff.

[@bunsenb]

ive just started my small collection of playstation and nintendo 64 PAL titles, i'm not aiming for a full set or anything right now just to build a little tribute to my childhood game systems, your dedication to collecting and preserving games is a great inspiration man

[@bw2273]

Great job! That's true dedication, true fandom. The SNES will always be near and dear to me as well, since it's the system I grew up with. Time for you to collect the Super Famicom! If anyone can do it, it's you!

[@YayJess]

congrats dude! I checked my games for you after the last vid just in case I had any of the missing, but I'm happy someone else had them! COMPLETE SET, YOU GOT IT!!!

[@warmrollsforthetable]

John is the nicest, most genuine dude. Great video!

[@mauriciobentz]

I'm sincerely happy for you. It made happy to see you happy. Congrats John!

[@RoJoDisTendo]

Congrats on the completion, John. Seeing all those SNES carts together in one place in your storage room was breathtaking. It'll probably take me 30 years to ever get a complete SNES set, just too pricey now. For now, I'm going for a complete N64 set.

[@makorealms5413]

i let the whole commercial play through for this one, and even clicked on it! super mega congratulations on this, really. not a lot of people know what its like to complete a collection like this, i bet youre even sleeping a little better lol! amazing!

[@nightwolf29]

Congratulation John in completing collecting your set! very happy for you!

[@SilverMongooseVideos]

Congrats, John! Must feel great. I am sure you will have people telling you your collection isn't complete because of this and that, or your collection took too long, or whatever, but it is complete to YOU, and that is what matters, John. Again, congrats.

[@JimboJammy]

Congratulations John! I wouldn't worry about those non retail carts unless you happen to stumble across any! Complete snes collection is a huge achievement! You should be really happy!

[@fireheartis1]

I am not a collector but I love playing Super Nintendo, N64, PS2, Wii, and GameCube games. I have about 55 Wii games, 25, SNES games, 19 N64 games, 13 PS2 Games, and 10 GameCube games. With the SNES some of my favorite games are super expensive so like you said I don't mind getting Repo carts like you mentioned. It is the best way to get the best beat-em-ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Great video John and thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work man.

[@lastcondorman]

Congratulations mate, you must be well pleased after 24 years of collecting for it, that's some achievement after the many hours you must have spent looking for the games, love your videos your enthusiasm is infectious, big Fan from the Uk

[@RolePlayingGamer92]

Snes my favourite console ever made, nothing beats the game library, so many classics.

[@ktangut]

Congratulations!!! I feel your happiness. I felt that way when I finally got KI arcade after 10 years of looking. Enjoy!

[@matthewozyer-key6952]

I don't think i've ever seen you happier (Bar the videos with your family of course) and my mouth just shot open when you were like "These are double deep" and "I have more common games behind here" It's amazing how well kept in shape those games are

[@sbranham314]

Wow that's so awesome John! Complete retail set is a huge accomplishment with how expensive everything is. Now to collect all the boxes and manuals! ;)

[@Oxed]

Great collection man. Your video touched my heart because I'm very close to snes so...i can't explain. Great goal my friend! RESPECT

[@codustv1465]

i watch multiple gaming collectors and just came across your channel but you're the best by far, Not about the money at all Stay Humble!

[@JerryBaezAlchemus]

Congrats, John!! The way I see it that's a complete set. Way to go!

[@LeRock815]

I agree. A retail set is a full set and different from competition carts, demos/promos, and even variants and greatest hits.

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

Congratulations John! I can't think of a collector who deserves this anymore than you!

[@cmnweb]

Super, greetings from Mexico, i still have my old Snes that my mom give me in 1991 that buy in Acapulco with street figher and TMNT Travel in time. I went to bed late that night :P pure nostalgia.

[@jam237]

getting both aero fighters and magical chase in less then 2 years apart most collectors​ could only dream of getting such stuff. congratulations!

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

The SNES was probably my favourite Nintendo console of all time. It had so many amazing games.

[@truenorth365]

Congrats John! I only collect the games that I had/or wished I had when I was a kid, but still I understand the work behind finding "that game". This video made me happy! (thumbs up)

[@c0rmster]

You’re so stoked this is great to watch! Congrats

[@Girichoko]

Congratulations man! I collect Super Famicom myself and I cannot immagine how you're feeling today... cheers!

[@jefflefler7797]

Hey Man, Im not super into video games or anything, but your passion for your hobby and the smile you get on your face when you talk about your completed collection is awesome. It sparks me to go out and giver where I need to in my life.

[@chriss63]

As I was looking through Some SNES classics, I bump into your channel and saw only 2 of you videos (so far) and I have to say that you seem such a nice guy, and like other say your happines is infectious, worht watching your videos and I really admire your collection. I grew up playing NES and SNES and I have fond memories of it, so seeing these collections and the detication reminds me of all those good days. Keep it up and the best of luck with you with further collections.

[@eastcoastandloveit3857]

Thank you for sharing !. One thing you said that amazed me was that someday you hope to have it go to a museum , which is great !. That shows the passion and dedication you have towards gaming . Just think if people just threw away pieces from the two big wars , kids today might not know what the men and woman did back then for our freedom and with people out there like you nothing will be forgotten . Great deal of respect for you and the crew you are a part of for keeping the games we all love alive !.

[@Salman-px9ce]

Congratulations John, apart from wishing you all the best for your future aspirations - I wish for you a long healthy life so you can enjoy the fruits of your passionate hard work. Cheers mate!

[@TheSlugJones]

John, I first learned of you from Metal Jesus Rocks and saw you were a pretty cool guy with a massive amount of knowledge. I want you to know I, and im sure many others, ery much appreciate what you have done here. I could never do what you have for gaming. The time, the money, the dedication. Thank you for sharing this with the world and saving something so rare. Kudos!

[@24kRobot]

Good for you, bud! I am happy for you; I can see you're genuinely stoked. Cool stuff. I was collecting Gameboy Advance. SNES was actually my favorite console and then I discovered the GBA a few years ago. It's basically a souped up SNES in your pocket. Nintendo did an excellent job with that handheld and the library is full of SNES-like games that all basically utilize mode 7. Anyhow, good luck in completing your new set!

[@cantona222]

Congratulations. I am really happy for you. You definitely have a complete SNES set.

[@cyb3rphr33k]

i always smile when i watch your videos. you can't get any happier than this. like a small kid :D congrats on the completion of the 26th set!!

[@r4v3n23]

Amazing dude this is awesome ! You deserve it man, love your Channel! as mentioned before "Your happiness is infectious" Keep it up man your the ONE Collector !!! May God bless you and your family

[@peer7410]

Congratulations John on completing your set!

[@michaelray2119]

I can't wait to see your new super nes game display John.!!

[@icecold5x]

That's sweet. I really like your videos! You're a pretty humble and honorable guy. Just a cool dude, thanks for your videos!!

[@LosN209]

You know what would be a really cool site for you to host? Taking screenshots of EVERY single game, inside and out. That way people would always have a reference site to the inside board.

[@TheWiccanSuperstar]

Congrats John. I always enjoy your videos and have mad respect for your massive collection. I hope one day that I complete a few of my game system collections.

[@HippyShake9]

Wow fantastic job completing that man! Beautiful collection! Be proud!

[@mazor13]

Neil is the F****** MAN! What a great dude. Also congrats John!

[@bdgf06]

Retro Protection is very good. Super nice guy to chat with also.

[@rodddossantos1437]

Congrats, John! SNES is my favorite console of all time. Well done my friend!👍

[@TheTopLoader82]

Both me and Pikachu would love to congratulate you .. that is SUPER EFFECTIVE - because it is also my favourite console

[@briandoneal]

congrats! I am a collector of baseball cards in addition to video games, there's nothing quite like finishing a set.

[@Stampistuta]

Fantastic to see you so happy with this. Keep up the great content.

[@luapco1516]

John wow this is an accomplishment congrats! Cheers to dedication. So humble yet such a boss. thanks for your commitment

[@hamltnm]

[@mmpsp693]

It's awesome to see you so happy, keep up the good fight!

[@countryman6412]

Protect this man at all costs❤

[@js.sunset]

I used to have an Aero Fighters cart a few years back! I got it for $25 at a local game store. I traded it for ~$200 in Saturn/PS1 games. I regret this decision.

[@Bond007er]

Peace Morgan I got that for n64 for 5 bucks lol at a used game store

[@Bond007er]

I need that ren and stimpy one my self

[@Bond007er]

I am happy to have a Top Gear 3000 lol

[@rodneyh1947]

Prices will drop back down once no one can afford it and they just have a piece of circuit board and plastic laying around and they need money. It will happen with all these games, just wait. They are sort of like stocks, knowing when to sell it is key, having it is not enough. Retro games have hiked in price mainly due to youtubers, before youtube, it was not this expensive. However, once these youtubers drive prices so high that people start to lose interest in retro gaming they will come back down. I know many people who lost interest in retro gaming due to the high prices and moved on to other hobbies. These youtubers are cashing in on the crazy right now but in doing so they are facilitating their demise. It is just a matter of time. Flash carts will see some gain and increase in sales due the high prices for authentic retrogames. Once the current market shifts everyone to flash carts, it will cheapen the authentic retrogames in the near future, and I mean really cheapen it to the point where some of these collectors will have a net loss from selling it. Like I said knowing when to sell it and at what price is key. Also with the advent of near perfect emulators for the 16 /8 bit retrogames, these 16/8bit collectors will see the value of their collection drop dramatically in the coming years as the majority of people are gamers and not collectors. Most people just want to play the game. Only a small minority are true collectors.

[@SlipKnoTfreak1456]

John your collection is on fucking point mate, this video was recommended to me from KZbin and I'm glad I checked it out...that is insane dude, you sir are a absolute legend in the field

[@DjSilish]

You cheer me up John your such a genuine guy. From Simon in Ireland 🇮🇪😀

[@patrickyooo]

Congrats John, Happy you got to complete it!

[@hauntedspaceship4175]

I dream of having the full set. Congratulations!! Best game system ever along with ps2.

[@harboy1990]

Congrats man I know this is a big milestone that you have been working on a long time.

[@mandrewgt]

Congratulations on our complete collection, John! I love to watch your uploads because you are always so positive and engaging! Even when you are talking about a topic I may not be as interested in, it's always a pleasure to watch one of your videos because you put a smile on my face! Thanks!

[@QuaesitorDei]

i got a super nintendo for xmas when i was a kid i remember it well. i loved link to the past and metriod. man i wish i could get a new boxed one to open again.

[@duckhive]

Neil Zarn is a hero.

[@davistobia1425]

NICE!!!!!!! your joy makes me feel like a kid again. God bless excellent job. I am into gba lately. Cheap games and so many excellent ones to get.

[@FishDS9]

Wow! So happy that you were able to complete your set and kudos to Neil for getting you the Final Four. Bravo!

[@mattstephens8561]

You deserve it man. What you're doing to preserve a piece of history that we all love is nothing short of amazing!

[@KurodaKyousuke]

Amazing collection. I have some great, classic games for the Super Nintendo, but nothing like this. The pure joy that you so obviously have for completing your collection can't help but make me smile, and evokes that same feeling I get when I'm able to add another precious gem to my own collection. Congrats!!!

[@nainocard5156]

Congrats John. Very happy for you😀

[@terrencecoccoli524]

Congrats man! Happy to see you achieve this accomplishment.

[@itscomplicatedwatches]

Been watching for a long time and I hope you achieve your dream of a museum one day. You really deserve that kind of preservation from what you have. That being said. Before you kick the bucket I want to see all major retro platforms (ATARI, SMS, GEN, NES, SNES, N64, PSX) complete in box NA sets. I wish I could contribute but I just cashed out my collection last summer as I feel the bubble is over.

[@stoojona1402]

People help you because you are a nice guy... good guys DO win!!!

[@robtheretrogamingreject444]

Im getting into collecting again at 31 single dad. And it makes me happy to see how happy john gets about all this. I think its great. Cheers from pictou, nova scotia canada!

[@nestoralvarado7787]

Dude that collection is so dope! Congrats on the accomplishment!

[@urzer0703]

hey just want to chime in and say, congrats!!! love that we share the same passion for video games!!

[@pgrove]

Impressive collection. Your boxed games behind you remind me of what my collection used to look like when I was a kid. Then my parents conned me into giving it to my little brother and he destroyed it all. Shit would be worth a fortune now. Sad stuff.

[@Shawnredfield98]

Your genuine happiness is awesome man. Congrats on your Snes set enjoy.
