How Retro Games Won Me Over

Growing up with a Gamecube, Wii, and XBox 360, I missed out on a lot of games that came before my time. Eventually, curiosity drove me to explore the origins of some of my favorite series. I'm so glad I did. In this video, I look back on the games and experiences that made me fall in love with retro gaming. From Zelda, Mario, and Metroid to Final Fantasy and Mega Man, come along for the ride. My channel focuses on retro and modern games, reviews, retrospectives, and Let's Plays. Thanks for stopping by! As for what's next... there are some hints throughout the video. FF7 soon. 00:00 Intro 01:24 Link's Awakening DX 02:36 The Legend of Zelda 03:02 Zelda II: The Adventure of Link 03:47 A Link to the Past 04:23 Super Mario Bros. 04:41 Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) (The Lost Levels) 05:10 Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) 05:27 Super Mario Bros. 3 05:45 Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages 06:58 Interlude 07:48 Metroid 08:08 Mega Man 08:33 Super Mario World 08:47 Mega Man 2 09:04 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 09:21 Mega Man 3 10:05 Super Mario Land 10:25 Mega Man 4 11:00 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins 11:27 Mega Man 5 11:49 Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 12:14 Mega Man 6 12:46 Wario Land II 13:16 Mega Man X 13:45 Wario Land 3 14:13 Mega Man X2 14:27 Wario Land 4 14:48 Mega Man 7 15:22 Final Fantasy 16:12 Mega Man X3 16:31 Final Fantasy II 17:47 Mega Man 8 18:12 Final Fantasy III 18:41 Metroid II: Return of Samus 19:04 Final Fantasy IV 20:00 Super Metroid 20:29 Final Fantasy V 21:21 Metroid Fusion 21:56 Final Fantasy VI 23:14 Mega Man X4 24:19 Metroid: Zero Mission 25:16 Mega Man X5 25:42 Mega Man X6 26:05 What's Next...?
