Captain Nintendo Dude is back. This time, he’s going to secure a SNES Classic at Nintendo NY.

His first Switch video: https://youtu.be/pQlPMCcGC0c

And his new journey: https://youtu.be/HAjQB25EoV0

He amassed quite a following for his first little adventure so it will be interesting to see if the interest is still there.


Hoping for Gabe, expecting Pluto.

Oh snap, is it the sequel nobody wanted? Or is it the sequel everyone needed?????

 

[bluexy]

Is Nintendo going to claim and monetize him waiting in line?

 

[poodaddy]

Did he pre-order it? If so then why wait in line?

 

[esmith08734]

*in line

Thanks, brah

 

[Otnopolit]

Man waits in line, internet watches.

We'll see if Nintendo's claims of better availability hold up, but I don't think launch is going to cut the mustard obviously.

 

[Fularu]

Oh snap, is it the sequel nobody wanted? Or is it the sequel everyone needed?????

Both

 

[Shiggy]

Did he pre-order it? If so then why wait in line?

For the clicks.

 

[WonderzL]

I am a subscriber since he was a teen (I was also a teen - the same age I guess?). It was fun to see someone so passionate about Nintendo entering the same teenager years as myself and not dropping it because "it's not cool" etc. He has a video on that, I believe. Let me see... Oh, here.

 

[Heroman]

Waiting in line for a emulator box for 19 days, imagine that life.

 

[GinoFelino]

Nice, I’ll be watching

Not as exciting as the Switch launch obviously

 

[Chesskid1]

i watched the switch one and it was interesting, now its kinda stale imo

 

[Giga Man]

Did he pre-order it? If so then why wait in line?

Publicity.

 

[Boke1879]

Did he pre-order it? If so then why wait in line?

The experience.


Will Triforce grift his way into these videos as well?

Lol just watched more of the video. Triforce won't make it because he's in Jamaica.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Triforce stay losing.

Anyways I loved the first thread so I'm subscribing to this one. Looking forward to the updates.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I admire his sand. What is he like 19 20 years old? Why the hell not.

 

[BiggNife]

I still never really understood the drama that happened with the last one.

Didn't Triforce Johnson show up and do some sketchy shit like he always does?

 

[WonderzL]

I admire his sand. What is he like 19 20 years old? Why the hell not.

Yeah. People here like "for the clicks". Adults are so boring. Come on.

There's a bit in the MST3K episode guide about when Frank was recording a line about waiting "on line" for a movie and the writer thought Frank had had a tiny seizure. The writer (I forget which) concluded that "on line" meant you were laying down, sprawled over the hapless people waiting patiently "in line."

Spoiler

Apparently "on line" is a New York thing.

 

[Flying Toaster]

When does Triforce make an appearance?

 

[Visualante2]

Is that tattoo real...

 

[Avallon]

Never mind.

 

[Giga Man]

Waiting in line for a emulator box for 19 days, imagine that life.

It's a great life for him. Viewership, fans, community support. Sounds like a good time to me.

 

[esmith08734]

Yeah, what do people care so much about? He’s like 19 years old and is making friends, not hurting anyone, and is expressing passion.

 

[jstripes]

Waiting in line for a emulator box for 19 days, imagine that life.

It's an attention grab. It gets him the views, which gets him the ad money.

 

[tapedeck]

Cool I’ll be waiting at my house for UPS.

 

[sotojuan]

Grumpy nerds will be grumpy nerds

 

[ViciousDS]

Last series had some cringe moments.....but what in real life doesn't have some. They were entertaining enough that I checked out a few. I am not a fan of Triforce.....so I'm glad that its just CND this time.

 

[RiggityRice]

I wonder if when he gets older if he'll regret waiting in line for all those days for both switch and snes classic. Time is something he can't get back. Maybe the experience is worth it for him. But for me personally, never catch me in line for more than a couple of hours.

 

[duckroll]

I too waited online before clicking and preordering a Switch.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Adults

I get impatient waiting 3 minutes for people in front of me to decide what to eat in food places.

Everyone I see just reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uCr9eC6e8M&app=desktop

 

[Alter_Fridge]

This guy sure likes to waste time in ridiculous ways

Go adopt a rescue dog or something productive

 

[Monty Mole]

It's an attention grab. It gets him the views, which gets him the ad money.

Surely he'd earn more by doing an actual job for 19 days.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

ok

 

[Boke1879]

He's young, he's only waiting 10 days. Hanging out with people, having a good time and doing something that's making him some money and also doing something he likes.

Way too many hot takes up in here lol.

 

[Raysoul]

Yeah, like playing video games or posting on some nerdy online gaming forum.

 

[Acquiescence]

I wait online for stuff all the time though, it's easy.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Can't support this decision. There's more to do in your life than waste it waiting on a retro console.

 

[Boke1879]

Can't support this decision. There's more to do in your life than waste it waiting on a retro console.

Like posting on an enthusiast gaming message board right?

 

[Sora the Cat]

Oh come on guys, this will be just like the other thread, everyone saying how dumb this is. The kid is just making a fun video, we all know this isn't necessary nowadays.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nintendo should hire him eventually

 

[Kaizer]

This guy sure likes to waste time in ridiculous ways

The irony is delicious.

 

[Nbz]

I really hate the denigration of youtube as not a "real job" - The kid is successful and is likely making more way money than he would doing a "regular" 19 year old job, PLUS it's something he actually loves doing.

 

[Heero5]

I too waited online before clicking and preordering a Switch.

LOL! Perfect post!

 

[Catvoca]

Waiting in line for him is basically hanging out with friends for 10 days in New York. Oh no, I'm sure he'll look back and wish he didn't spend so much time....being with friends lol


I watched a good bit of the Switch one but not sure I'm bothered with this, kinda feels a bit long in the tooth.

 

[sixteen-bit]

[chrisPjelly]

Isn't this standard fare for actually trying to get a Nintendo product nowadays tho?

 

[jjonez18]

Sweet. Will watch a couple. He has good taste in music. Content's entertaining too.
