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.

Happy New Year! I wanted to make a video of what you can expect in 2026, but a post will do just fine.
****Retronomics****
While Pricecharting's data is great, it's built for a Point of Sale system which means I have to do a ton of tedious work to build and maintain a reliable dataset for each video which tend to have a shelf life of 4 days before YouTube drops it.
Rather than be frustrated doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result, I have allowed myself to step away and focus on different hobbies that don't involve social media.
And it's been freeing. It's also allowed me to gain a new perspective on how I want this series to run going forward.
In 2026 I'll be making more market summary videos similar to the last one I did. Obviously I'll still be using data to back up my claims, but I'll be changing up how I build and maintain the datasets. Dropping the nerdy stats for more story telling which should result in easier to produce videos that flow a lot easier. I do have plans to supplement the videos with those charts in a different medium but I don't have anything to announce at this time (trying to keep myself focused on one thing at a time)
I'm hoping to put out a top 25 in 25 video by the end of January. I was tempted to drop everything and make a 3DS video, but that can wait.
****Product Reviews****
Speaking of 1 thing at a time. My next video will be on a controller that was sent to me for a review from Gamesir. Call me Super Shilltendo but I do get interesting offers from time to time and It's been a fun change of pace. I also got the MCON from OhSnap that I bought on Kickstarter. There's also a company that's sending me some ear buds which will make their way into a Retronomics episode as an ad spot.
After that, I have some concepts for related videos but again; one thing at a time.
****Tinker Projects/DIY****
This is something that I have been occupying my time with when not making videos. I love creating and fixing things but haven't had the time or space to do them. That changed last year when I repurposed a dresser into a workbench. I want to finish my Mister Case this year along with repurposing my credenza into a more usable piece of furniture. I have spent the past year or so transforming my game room into more of a chill lounge.
I also have some neat projects like a consolized Virtual Boy, Talkboy Repair, and Teddy Ruxpin project that I think will be fun. I also plan on adopting Home Assistant so the Atari VCS will finally have a purpose in my life.
There are some other videos that I have outlined but I just wanted to chime in and let you know how much I appreciate the people who enjoy my videos. I never wanted to do this full time and having a dedicated audience that's there when I post a video gives me that reassurance that I can still make this hobby fun.
Have a great 2026!!!

Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brought you some cool stuff. I got a dremel from my MIL and my wife and I bought a brand new TV to upgrade from our 15 year old 720p plasma. But I also got the Lego Gameboy at launch but waited for a day I could spend inside. Today is that day. The quality is pretty good. Same size as a DMG. I considered the mods for it to turn it into a real Gameboy but maybe I'll put a tiny screen and raspberry pi to just play some game footage instead.

Greetings from Arizona! I'm working on releasing a Gamecube retronomics video next week but for now my wife and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Arizona specifically Flagstaff. We've driven over 1000 miles so far and visited four National Park locations so far. Most recently the Petrified Fore which has ties to Route 66. It's been really fun to visit areas almost untouched since the 50s. A great blend of Americana and ancient nature. Thanks for your patience as I work on adjusting the channel's content.

This was a great watch. I have been putting together a CRT setup myself and while I would love to have something nostalgia accurate, I think I can make my setup work

Someone reached out to me about more detail on the Legend of Zelda collector's edition Gamecube varient because they want to attempt to make a reproduction. If you feel like making your own here are the same photos I sent. I know some people have reservations about reproductions so this could serve as a reference of whan an authentic sticker looks like. I'm gonna a wager it'll be pretty easy to spot a fake of this anyway.

Had a great time at the Vintage computer festival in Schaumburg yesterday. I have been getting more into crafting projects than collecting so it was a lot of fun to see what other people created.

In the process of designing a Mister case. I ordered a 3d printed prototype to make sure I got my measurements correct. Some adjustments need to be made but not a bad first attempt. The three holes near the screen are intended to be push buttons for the menu and such but I decided to use bigger buttons. Also I have to consider wiring on the back.
The process will be it's own video but I'm wrapping up the Retrotink 4k video then will release a retronomics on Gamecube prices. I've been stuck thinking of ideas for the series so if you have any suggestions drop them below

This is an interesting watch. I have never seen a Snes fail that wasn't damaged in some other way, But still something to keep an eye on.
