Super Nicktendo
Super Nicktendo is the home to Retronomics - the series that follows the price trends in video games. I cover a wide variety of systems including the PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Gamecube and MORE!
I ask my subscribers for suggestions so if you have some games that I should cover, subscribe so you'll see when I ask!
In addition to Retronomics, I also make video essays. My latest video explaining why Limited Run Games has lost their way has sparked quite the conversation.
I have more essays on the way including one about the failed console Ouya and the Atari Jaguar.
Consider Subscribing!
Please enjoy.

Finally found a solution to using a real club with the Wii. I was using the Callaway club but that made the grip huge which got uncomfortable over time. Maybe @brysondechambeau would like it but I prefer standard grips. Also the club I'm using is a child's putter so I can use it indoors. I'll test it outside first since I did have to add tape to the shaft and velcro the wiimote in place. I don't make enough money from these videos to show myself smashing my TV lol.
Now to train for the Masters. The goal is to beat Brysons score from this year's round. Piece of cake, right?

I've been taking the time to "reset" my YouTube channel. When I first started I wanted it to be casual then I took some poor advice from a channel guru after my first big video. not only did I turn the channel into a second job that didn't make money, I lost sight of who I was as a person.
Instead of following my gut, I was trying to emulate someone else's success which led to a lot of frustration that bled into other aspects of my life.
I'm finally starting to allow myself to just make videos that I would want to see and publish them within an acceptable timeline.
They might be "low effort" but at least they'll be published.
Retronomics will return along with some videos on stuff that I got from Japan. If you have a request for a specific console or franchise let me know. The retronomics dashboard allows me to record while I'm looking through the data so I might try a few of those to see if that speeds up the video. Focusing more on the price trends rather than the history of the game itself.

As a Chicago 90s kid. I can't officially be happy for the Knicks but as an adult I can appreciate the exciting series.

In addition to retronomics video, I'm also working on a video about buying things from Japan. I figured I'd finally buy a Famicom. BUT: Should I get the Twin Famicom from sharp or should I get the AV Famicom? I do like the idea that I can stack the disk system and the AV Famicom and that the controllers are detachable.

Working on getting out my next retronomics video this Wednesday.
I am also working on a new project and would like your input:
What are the games you're most interested in tracking prices on? I have the popular ones but I figured I'd also track fan favorites then release a report every quarter or so.

Working on a few new retronomics episodes. I have one more product review that I need to get out by a specific deadline. I wanted to sprinkle those in but I had a death in the family so that needed to take priority.
Appreciate your understanding and I'm looking forward to putting out another video

The Masters is next week. I picked up the Wii version and it's surprising how accurate it is. I'm gonna make a custom club and get a Wii balance board from goodwill. I'll probably make a video on it as well.

I've been working on some DIY projects in between videos. Some were pretty simple like turning an old phone into a steam deck but other electronics focused projects have not gone well. I've nuked a raspberry pi, ordered the wrong connector and cracked an lcd screen. So while I wait for parts I'll be shifting back to filming retronomics content. I have one script ready for production but I wanted to wait for a little more information before I finalized it.

At the beginning of the year I stated that I wanted to make producing retronomics episodes easier on myself. Prior videos involved me creating spreadsheets, writing scripts then taking that information into after effects and creating animations. A tedious process that never quite matched the vison in my head. I've always wanted to create a dashboard that gave me data instantly based off the filters I gave it and be able to use them in videos. I finally allowed myself to take a break from making videos to focus on it.
So here it is. The Retronomicon. A dashboard containing data and visualizations for my most common talking points. Top 25 movers/losers in a specific period. Top 20 most expensive games, and a breakdown of the library of games for any given system.
I've also been researching more ways to increase the value of the series and the first new feature is Volatility. An analysis on games that are most likely to remain the same or swing one way or the other in price. It'll also give a better idea of where the market of each system is going. I'm using the 3DS as an example here and you can see most of the listings have more or less stabilized in 2025 with a few outliers in yellow.
In addition to systems, I've built a filter for franchises like Silent Hill, Castlevania and Pokemon so expect to see videos about those as well.
I'm still adding features but for now the dashboard is complete enough to use a few videos.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for reporting you'd like to see in future videos.
