At this point, 1995 is another dimension. It's starting to feel like so long ago, a totally different reality. I shutter to think what the memories of this era will feel like in 10 more years. Nostalgia is a strange feeling.
It does indeed feel like another dimension, imagine you could go back to 1995 knowing what you know today. Could you even explain it to a person living in 1995? I don’t think they’d even be able to grasp what the world would become. Indeed nostalgia is intense.
There’s a weird definition of nostalgia these days as well, it’s a part of depression & other underlying issues. It’s really melancholic to think about those days when if we were to go back now, we wouldn’t be as happy as we thought we would be. So bittersweet.
I always remember that a neighbor had this game but not the console and he was selling it extremely cheap cos he didn't knew what he had. He said "give me 2.000 and is yours (2.000 chilean pesos, were around 2,41 dollars at that time, so those 2,41 would be around 7,25 in 2023) and I ran extremely excited to my house and my Mom saw my face and she probably thought "kid stuff" you know and she gave me those bucks I bought that amazing videogame for 2.41 dollars and with my best friend we played DKC2 like forever... fresh sunny afternoons beating each level, enjoying the beautiful music and his design, reading videogames magazines talking about this game and another amazing titles, dreaming to playing someday together those new games too. We still play DKC2 sometimes together and we still remember those moments that never will back with the magic of those years.
I actually got DKC2 for Christmas that year-so it was around this time 29 years ago that my brother and I were stuck in this stage, which took us about 3 to 6 months to actually complete. Makes me miss those simpler times ❤
Same. We got in when I was little living in Alaska. Fond memories of this game. Just me and my mom sitting in a room with nothing but a TV and SNES crisscross on the floor. Now I still play the DKC2 soundtrack every now and then. Just recently started paying a subscription so my daughter can enjoy this game on her Nintendo Switch.
I remember receiving a Snes in xmas too, the sensation of unbox that console, and insert DK2 game.. I remember the unique feeling that you could feel when the game starts, I felt like I would start a big adventure, the excitement, the eyes brightening, the addiction to play more and more, the fear on ghost levels and boss song, the relaxing feeling of some songs of Bayou Boogie, Mining Melancholy, Forest Interlude... What a good times we had, my friends...
Before internet became a thing, and we would get together with friends and play games together in the same room, laughing and having a great time. Then the internet and smart phones came and took away that experience.
Y guárdalo como "hueso santo", como diríamos aquí. Soy de esa generación y te puedo decir que, puede que pecando de exceso de nostalgia, ¡joder, cómo extraño los 90!
I've listened to this song so much that I haven't really felt nostalgia from it in a long time. Until this video. I found myself staring at the video, and soaking in old times, how life was back then... And remember being a kid playing these games, and sometimes having thoughts like wondering where I would be in the future. And here I am. Wild to have a few moments like that. Thanks for that.
Not born in 1995 but 2001, even listening to it while watching it on a CRT gives me a sense of sadness where everything from my childhood is gone but when I play DKC2 or any classic snes game gives me that sense of achievement since I was so bad at games, but now that I can finally Speedrun the games easier than I could back then makes me really wonder where all the years have gone. Thank you for bringing this to our minds again
Shall we make this the new checkpoint boys? Checkpoint: Back in 2020, I just got out of the military, after not even making it to my second year I was relieved of my duties due to me not being able to pass the then running portion of the PFT ( 2 mile run under 14:50). After bouncing around jobs here and there I worked up the will to go to a trade school. Sadly, when I was on the final module that would have given me an associates degree in criminal justice I wasn’t able to finish my work in time due to my sisters wedding which was being held in Spain. So for the past 7 months I’ve been stuck in limbo. But I recently applied to a local sheriffs department and they are helping me with joining them as a corrections officer and helping me go to the states correctional academy. I feel I got this in the bag as I’ve been going to the gym more often and losing weight. My fiancé has been nothing but supportive and I cherish every moment I have with her. What I’m saying is that there will be times where everyone stumbles, but so long as we pick ourselves up we can make the best of our situations and become better. Thanks for reading this, you absolute chad.
I’m in a similar position in my life right now, so much uncertainty and wandering. Not really sure what tomorrow brings but god has a plan and everything will be alright in the end. There is a beauty to life’s patterns, thanks for sharing
I grew up in the early 2000’s but this imagery still rings true for me, this is exactly how I experienced it. Back when I was young enough for existence to make sense.
I wasn't even born until 1997, but this video has to be one of the most pure, and comfy videos on the internet.. Or, maybe like the rest of the comments, this video is sad, because it feels so far gone, like another world..
I was born in 96 but my family didn’t have that much money at the time so I first had the NES and I got to experience the feeling of coming home from 1st grade to dkc 1,2,3, smw, yoshis island. There aren’t words that can describe how much the snes means to me.
I wasn't old enough to have a SNES but I was old enough to have some core memories from really early childhood when there were still a few around. I remember being at a fancier hotel with a lot of extended family that had SNES games built into the rooms tvs, and the save data carried from whoevers last progress was on some really difficult later in cave level I had no chance of beating. One night flipping through games I was just watching the title screen gameplay reel of DKC2 in awe of all the levels. It was so intense and dramatic looking for a Donkey Kong game when I was that young lol. Anyways I totally just zoned out watching this for 4 minutes straight before I thought I would share this. Ratatouille moment
Think about this: We could've grown up in any other time period in the history of mankind...Im so so glad I grew up in this time of gaming and was able to experience timeless classics such as DKC2. The atmosphere and music in this game just drags you into another magical world.
Muito bom encontrar oessoas que assim como eu, vem e procuram algo tão específico no qual alguém raramente virá ver. Eu fico feliz em saber que existam pessoas assim. Sempre fui assim, sempre pensei assim. Espero um dia poder encontrar pessoas para compartilhar estes mesmo gostos.
I’m glad!! Sadly I don’t think I can make an extended because of computer problems but yeah I’ll prob make one of aquatic ambience and forest interlude
This video gives me the same feeling as stargazing, staring into a clear pond, or looking into yonder from the top of a mountain... Just reflecting on one's life endlessly.
Mi hermano mayor hoy en dia ya no le interesan tanto los videojuegos como antes, pero lo que siempre lo volvera atraer a el es snes que le regalo mi papa en 1998. Pd: la atesora demasiado ya que nuestro padre fallecio por corona
@@videotape2959 I don't know about that, ps2 and Gamecube were amazing in the 2000s along with Windows XP. Xbox 360 was the last good console before computing and video games went downhill. I'd say it started in 2010, but everything fully went downhill in 2012.
@@Claydood I'm sorry but the Xbox 360 is an awful console, wasn't it the first that allowed publishers to molest games with downloadable updates? And what about DLC? I loathed the Wii when it was around, but today I realize that *it* was the last real video game console, with games that got released finished, no revisionist garbage and no DLC. I agree about the PS2 and GameCube though, in fact I'd say that gaming peaked in 2004, with these consoles and Half-Life 2 over on Windows. I remember 2012 as the year that Windows 8 came out. And every big tech company started to mimic its awful look and UI style once it was released. RU-vid's design was already deteriorating before that however, I remember cosmic panda, that was in 2011.
i got an snes as a hand me down at the age of 7 when every one at school had an xbox or ps2 but god damn was this game so worth and funner than anything on those consoles
This is so awesome. is there any chance you could make a video just like this and have the introduction of Super Street Fighter II the new challengers? this is cool. 8)
I’ve been tryin 🥲 I’ve been struggling to get that same kind of atmosphere in the recording because the way I set up my camera is super inconvenient and hard to make perfectly straight with the crt. And obviously I want the aquatic ambiance video to be just as perfect as this video and so I’m not rush the video out. I think I’m gonna have to invest in a cheap tripod soon to fix this
hey brother can i use your video to make my video in the future? I really like donkey kong and I want to make a video about the soundtracks of games if you allow me I would like to use a piece of your video in the future it is very good and has a very good vibe ? sorry for my english is not too good..
