Video game consoles have come a long, long way from where they were before. What began as essentially a home arcade has transformed into a full-on entertainment unit. Anything you can think of, you could do on your Xbox One or PS4. Play games in 4K? Check. Watch Netflix? Check. Stream your gaming session on Twitch? Check. The possibilities are endless.
There’s no doubt the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have changed the meaning of what a gaming console can do. But before there were consoles that could stream TV, record gameplay and respond to voice commands, there were machines like the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis that changed the gaming world with their amazing libraries of games. These consoles were the pioneers of the modern gaming consoles you see today.
The thing is, while these consoles are a thing of the past, you could still purchase them and play games on them right now! Sure, it might cost you a pretty penny, but the nostalgia and fun are totally worth it. If you were born after the NES Era, you could buy one today or use an emulator to play the games, but that’s your choice. Either way, you can play any game from any console today if you have the patience, time and money required to do so. Whether you want to relive your favorite games or finally play on that console you always wanted as a kid, here are 10 retro gaming consoles you need in your collection.

Atari 7800 *shows sega master system*
I own the GameCube, N64, GBA, and snes classic
This video is very interesting and thank you for sharing this footage. I collect Nintendo items. So far I got a Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Colour, 2 x Game Boy Advance SP’s, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL: Majora’s Mask Edition. I also got the SNES, N64 and Wii (All PAL versions).
O man how can u leave out psp from that list
Problems I have with this video:
1. Mario bros. 3 was made for the nes (unless you count super mario)
2. ps1 was 32 bit, not 64 bit.
3. What kind of person says you should get the GBA and doesn’t even mention the GBA sp?
I was waiting for Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga when they mentioned the GBA
How could you forget about the SNES console?????
I have arcade game in my PS 2
1:36 SMB3 was released in the nes, ARE THESE GUYS RETARDED?
Yay I can play froger n stuff
Really? Odyssey 2 is a must-have?
I have never heard of the Atari 7800.
why is the snes so low on the list?
You included the the game gear but not the PS1. The PS1 should be a staple for any retro game collection. I understand that it’s a great portable system, but the amount of great games in the PS1 library is enough I feel for it to be in at least the top 3 game consoles ever. I honestly don’t know what you were thinking. SMH
*TRIGGERED*
Warning rant ahead
Also, where the fek is the NES? It’s like the only game console that deserves a guaranteed spot on any retro game console list. FEK YOUR GAME GEAR. FFS *face palm* Another thing, who gives a fek about an Odyssey 2 on a list where you didn’t even include a PS1 or NES? Just stating the obvious.
Animal Crossing was on the N64 though
Magnavox odyssey is not good….
Anyone else notice that at 1:58 while talking about the Atari 7800, they show a Sega Master System? Definitely not the same thing…
I have the NES SNES the Gameboy the Wii U 2 3ds XLS the Nintendo switch and the Atari 2600. I’m 13 and I’m a really big retro gaming fan I’ve been into it since I was in 4th grade and now I’m going into seventh.
I technically have no consoles at all
Wow I have all in different parts of fammily
Jk just the Saturn nes and snes
Once again the Original Xbox the most powerful system in the 6th Generation gets slept on again. This happens when people don’t properly do their research. The Xbox had a ton of great games and exclusives on the system. Also any third party games that released on multiple Consoles looked and played better on the Xbox. Example: Burnout:Revenge is one for starters I could go all day. But too each their own.
Dreamcast was amazing I love it and wish it had done better
0:37 see, channels like yours are the reason we can’t have good things anymore. CGR got ripped off by so many channels and it took the fun out of it for Mark Bussler. . 🙁
The GameCube was more powerful than the ps4…
WHERE THE FRIK IS THE NES AND N64 daammmmn somethings have been missed
Smb3 was for the nes as well
im getting a nintendo gamecube so now ill have a switch ps3 gamecube
I have been wanting to get a retrogaming-console for a while myself. I specifically am wanting to get an SNES, a Sega-Genesis and an original PSX. I would also like to get Sega Saturn or Neo-Geo.
Good-Thing I did not get a Retron-Console, because while it is amazingly-convenient to have three oldschool 90s-consoles in-one I think there’s one-too-many fatal-flaws associated with it to make it a worthwhile-purchase.
How about nes
Where the heck is the Sega Genesis, Master System, and N64 for example?.
I NEVER KNEW THE SNES CONTROLLER HAD TEXT SAYING SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM! WOW!
mario 3 was on nes
You can emulate these games no problem save yourself some space !
The gameboy advance sp is better
Plenty of errors in this vids
Why is the Odyssey 2 on this list? You don’t need to have it in you collection. It’s actually rather obscure if you really think about it
super mario bros 3 in the snes *clap *clap
I have a super Nintendo and a PS2 in my collection I still pay games on both and occasionally I buy PS2 games even tho I have a Xbox 360 and Xbox one sometimes I just feel like playing a retro game
I’m godly at Cinnaped
03:19 the original playstation was 32 bits too
And the n64 and its famus clasic games includin golden eye and mario64 the n64 is a good clasic
Saying the Dreamcast failed BECAUSE it was so tech advanced is hugely misleading.
die hard n64 fan/collector
Retro fc is a gameboy clone that’s pretty good👍👌👌
Him : n64 is not in the list
Me: 👹
He died
come on, ya gotta sneak in a Fairchild Channel F into that list. I demand that you delete this, add that, and repost !!
Playstation 1 was 64 Bit??? Not sure about that.
This list NEEDS systems, the average consumer can actually find and WANT to play. Neo Geo…fun, but c’mon.
Super Nintendo didn’t have Mario 3, it had Super Mario World.
ps1 or psx is 32bit not 64bit and the gamecube was way way way more powerful than a ps2
PS2 isn’t a retro console. PS1 is.
