My Top 7 Retro Gaming YouTubers

One great thing about the retro gaming community is how many amazing people there are within it. From great bloggers, which will be a future list, to a whole host of different YouTubers, retro gaming has a huge community of wonderful people. To celebrate that, I wanted to bring attention to some of the retro gaming YouTube channels and YouTubers that I watch on a regular basis.

So, with that said, here is a list of my top 7 retro gaming YouTubers. It’s a mixed bag of different channel types, but I thoroughly enjoy each and every one of them. Hopefully, you will too!

7. Retro Game Rater

Retro Game Rater‘s channel features a bunch of short, easy to digest reviews are a variety of different retro games. However, whilst the reviews are incredibly well put together and informative, it is his personality that really makes the videos great. His review of Halo: Combat Evolved definitely showcased his personality the best, making for a brilliant video that kept me hooked throughout the review.

Every Friday, Retro Game Rater releases a new review and covers all manner of games from a variety of consoles. If you’re wondering what retro games to play and which ones to avoid, then Retro Game Rater’s channel is a must-watch!

6. Smackers

I’ve only recently found Smackers‘ channel on YouTube but it’s already gotten to the point where I don’t want to miss one of his livestreams. Having completed Resident Evil 3 on stream, as well as Silent Hill, it was a lot of fun to watch his reactions and engage with him during the streams. Now Smackers is playing through Silent Hill 2 (blind) and Resident Evil: Outbreak. His reactions to the likes of Pyramid Head are hilarious and each stream is so fun to watch.

The streams are certainly not PG, but they are just so enjoyable that I can’t help myself but laugh or find myself getting really engaged with his content. You should definitely check him out!

5. Top Hat Gaming Man

As a fellow Brit, I must say that I find the Top Hat Gaming Man‘s accent amusing. I certainly don’t speak with such an accent, but it makes the videos sound so much better than if he were to speak with a more “central England” accent. His videos that feature travelling and handheld gaming around the world are very unique and different to anything else that I have watched.

On top of this, his take on (and ongoing coverage of) the current CeX scandal with copied cases is really well done. I have been watching his videos for a while and never find them boring.

4. TheGebs24

When it comes to pick-up videos, one of the most enjoyable channels that I have come across has to be TheGebs24. Each one of her videos completely shows how much love she has for retro gaming, especially when it comes to the SNES. On top of that, I generally don’t enjoy Call of Duty, but her livestreams of the game are actually really enjoyable. She interacts with the viewers a lot which is great and also makes the game fun to watch.

Gemma has also uploaded a number of “real talk” videos that are far more serious in nature but still feature her entertaining personality. They deal with a host of different subjects in a way that is mature and down to Earth, yet still enjoyable. If you’re looking for a friendly and relatable retro gaming YouTuber, then TheGebs24 is the perfect channel for you!

3. BeatEmUps

Whilst not 100% a retro gaming channel, BeatEmUps is definitely worth watching. His recent unboxing video of all of the games he struggled to bring over from Australia was amazing to see, and as with the other YouTubers on this list, he lets his personality shine through. The videos feature very common vlogging cuts and edits, which make them easy to watch whilst also keeping your attention as well.

He’s published loads of Nintendo Switch videos as well, which is great for me as I intend to get a Switch in the future so his videos help me work out what I would like to get for the console when I finally buy one.

2. Pixel Game Squad

So, pick-up videos and game hunting is a staple of the retro gaming YouTube community. A huge amount of channels (myself included) have done these types of videos. However, as mentioned earlier, I tend to find many of them a bit dull. They tend to lack personality and that’s what really makes you connect with a YouTuber. That certainly isn’t the case for the Pixel Game Squad videos!

Each episode feels like you are actually watching a comedy TV show, like an episode of a retro gaming themed Sit-Com. The editing is brilliant and every single one of the Pixel Game Squad has their own personality which shows through in droves. I often find myself laughing at the show because of the humour, as well as smiling at how much love the Squad have for all things retro gaming.

1. Metal Jesus Rocks

It probably won’t come as a surprise that Metal Jesus Rocks is at the top of this list. I mean, his channel is huge anyway, but he’s also incredibly enjoyable to watch. His hidden gem videos can be really helpful when trying to find what games to buy that you haven’t played before. On top of that, his videos with the Metal Jesus Crew are often hilarious, especially the $5 challenge videos that he publishes.

I also love the honesty in his videos, and the unscripted nature makes everything feel realistic and down to Earth. Also, the random sound effects he puts in during editing, like when he and Radical Reggie fistbump, make some truly amusing little moments. He’s also really knowledgeable about the various games and systems that he has.

And That’s All Folks

Well, there you have it. That was a list of my top 7 retro gaming YouTubers that I watch on a very regular basis. They have all influenced my own YouTube channel as well, helping me define my own content. Each one is incredibly enjoyable to watch and I would definitely recommend checking them all out.

JuicyGameReviews – Super Mario Odyssey Review

So, I’ve been a huge fan of Gemma from JuicyGameReviews (and her YouTube channel, TheGebs24) for ages. Gemma really knows her stuff when it comes to gaming, both retro and current gen. You should definitely go and check out her blog, JuicyGameReviews, and give her a follow on Twitter here!

Anyway, Gemma has kindly offered to do a blog swap with me. As such, here is her great review of Super Mario Odyssey! Again, you can find more awesome reviews over on her blog, so I would definitely recommend taking a look. But for now, enjoy this review of Super Mario Odyssey.

Back in 2017 The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild was coined Video Game of the Year based on the people’s choice. Super Mario Odyssey secured the second spot. The Nintendo Switch had an amazing launch year in 2017 and at the time of writing this the Nintendo Switch sold over ten million consoles world wide. For a video games console that hasn’t one been out for 12 months that figure makes my head spin. 2018 is set to be just as good of a year for the Nintendo Switch with some prominent Nintendo Wii U games launching on the console within the first six months.

Having spent a lot of time with Super Mario Odyssey over the last couple of months I feel I’ve got a lot to say about Mario’s latest adventure. In fact I would go as far to say that Super Mario Odyssey should have taken him the title of Video Game of the year (2017). You might not agree but I urge you to read the remainder of this blog then let me know your final thoughts in the comments. Now before we go any further we have to note the Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece. I am a huge fan of it despite initially feeling sceptical. In fact I was also sceptical about Super Mario Odyssey. Some of the earliest footage I saw was with Mario running around a city approaching business men! “This is not a Super Mario game!” Fast forward to now and I can honestly say that I was wrong to judge. Super Mario Odyssey serves up a beautiful 3D experience of ploughing through bustling kingdoms and moon hunts. Odyssey offers up a tasty menu of new characters too with Cappy being the most notable. Cappy amplifies Super Mario’s abilities within the kingdom’s enabling him to jump higher, morph in to enemies and leap to the highest ledges. Super Mario feels more super than ever before. Again I was apprehensive about Mario’s new top man but Happy really does add a lot of value in to Super Mario Odyssey.

Repetition done well

Super Mario Odyssey adopts the same roots as previous Mario games. It is up to Mario to save Princess Peach from the evil clutches of Bowser. Along the way, there are many dangerous lands our friendly plumber must traverse in order to rectify the wrongful kidnapping. Now usually in video games I always prefer new stories to unfold but in the case of Mario the notion of him rescuing Princess Peach – again – seems to bode well in my gamer brain. Super Mario Odyssey is not really pushing a story but instead Odyssey is a revelation in its own right. Besides it is the first 3D Mario game since Super Mario 3D in 2011.

Super Mario Odyssey has something for everyone. Did you grow up with the NES like me? Did you grow up arguing with siblings over who’s turn it is to try and beat the next level on Super Mario Bros? Well you can expect a slice of retro 8bit Super Mario in Odyssey. The seamless warp through an iconic green pipe will take you right bak in to a Super Mario Bros-esque kind of level; equipped with 8bit sound effects and all. Nintendo we salute you because this was a gorgeous touch of finesse that makes Super Mario Odyssey feel more polished that ever!

Whether you are collecting rings in a Sonic game or coins in an older Mario game; video games have many challenges. In Super Mario Odyssey you can expect hundreds of quirky little challenges. In fact 880 of those challenges involve collecting Power Moons. Power Moons vary in colour depending on which kingdom you are in. They are used to power up the Odyssey and to unlock various other parts of the game. Collecting all 880 Power Moons (additional moons can be purchased) unlocks a painting in the wedding hall…but we won’t spoil that. Now 880 seems like a lot but it’s not. I love the challenge of being able to travel backwards and forwards to different kingdoms and being able to hunt for more moons.

Easy on the approach

You can literally take off in Super Mario Odyssey. Aside from flying from kingdom to kingdom in the Odyssey; Super Mario Odyssey suits players of all abilities. You can jump in without having to learn too many complex moves or controls. Once you have your timing on jumps and learn how to launch Cappy correctly you are pretty much set. My six year old nephew picked it up in no time. Nintendo have always seemed to adopt a knack for creating games where people can adapt really easily. This may seem like a small point to make but when I saw early previews of Super Mario Odyssey I was worried about it being overly clumpy. How wrong was I? Odyssey feels like a breeze to play through. Even the boss battles are setup up with the classic three hit to defeat format! There are no hidden agendas here in Super Mario Odyssey. Thank you Nintendo.

Perhaps you haven’t played a Mario game for years? Does this matter? Super Mario Odyssey feels familiar very early on in the game. Take the Cascade Kingdom for example. When I first met the Chain Chomps a huge smile erupted on my face. Why? The Chain Chomps have been popular in many other Mario games. It was this feeling of nostalgia that made me feel great. I wanted to continue playing Odyssey to find out what other nostalgia trips I could take.

3D

What would a 3D game be without the 3D camera right? Well it’s kind of obvious that it would be a 2D game. At times the camera motions can seem like a minor hinderance. In my play-through there were times (on water levels especially) where the camera would get stuck on a wall mid-rotation. This was my only gripe too. It’s certainly worth noting but I don’t feel the camera rotation will adversely affect your experiences in Super Mario Odyssey overall. I’ve seen a few other reviewers mention this too but how have you found it?

Conclusion

Super Mario Odyssey is a gem of a video game no matter what your age, gaming ability or experience. It is packed with old and new surprises that will make you want to continue on your quest to save Princess Peach over and over. If you chose not to play Super Mario Odyssey then you are missing out on one of Nintendo’s greatest games of all time. Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece for many.
