Hey, guys! Welcome back to It's a Pixel THING
in Portuguese!
I was nominated to continue this Portuguese YouTube thing
related to the "video game consoles of my life"
"the video game consoles of our lives"
and I was nominated by KGames.
Thank you so much Helder for the nomination!
In the end I'm gonna nominate another person to keep this thing alive.
So, starting with
the video game consoles of my life.
As you know,
I was never a consoles' dude.
I started with computers,
with the ZX Spectrum,
had the 48K, had also the 128k with the incorporated cassete player/writer,
then moved to the Commodore Amiga
and only then I bought the very first video game console.
After trying a bunch of them
over at friend's houses and stuff,
I bought my Mega Drive II, and the game...
'cause video game consoles are made of games,
without games, video game consoles are worthless!
On the home computer we can program stuff
and make a bunch other things besides playing games.
On video game consoles, we only play games.
And video game consoles are made of games.
And the game that made me buy my Mega Drive II
was
this one:
Sonic 2, obviously!
And amazing game!
When I say that, on consoles, we can only play games
obviously that I'm referring to consoles
from the 80s and 90s.
Nowadays, on modern consoles,
we can also watch YouTube!
(laughing in the background)
Ok, but
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was something that,
for me, had an extremely huge meaning.
I played the first Sonic and fell in love
with the Master System version,
the first Sonic on the Master System,
was a game that I played a ton over at my cousin's house,
and I fell in love with the character, and
when the second game was announced,
right after it was released,
when I started seeing magazine adverts related to the game,
I simply had to buy a Mega Drive
to play Sonic 2!
It's one of those iconic characters
in video game history.
And, Sonic 2, really made me buy
the Mega Drive II, in this particular case.
And, after the Mega Drive,
I jumped... left the Amiga
left the Mega Drive, and jumped
to one o my favorite platforms 'til now,
with my IBM, that you all know,
it's featured in all my videos,
but in the meanwhile, somewhere around 2002, maybe...
2003... late 2003...
yeah, in 2003,
when I received the news that
a certain motocross game
was gonna be released exclusively on consoles,
consoles from that generation,
the generation of the Game Cube, PS2 and original Xbox,
was when I opted to buy a PlayStation 2,
and opted for the PlayStation 2, 'cause everyone had,
all my friends had a PlayStation 2.
No one had a Game Cube or an original Xbox.
So I bought a PlayStation 2
to play
MX Unleashed, from Rainbow Studios,
that is, basically, the spiritual successor
of the Motocross Madness series
exclusive to the PC.
And when I knew, in 2003,
in the beginning of 2003, that this game was gonna be released
exclusively on video game consoles,
it wasn't gonna be released on PC,
it was when I bought the PlayStation 2,
exactly, a video game console because of this game,
that I bought to play
MX Unleashed!
It's true!
Everyone says, all over the world and all over the internet,
that MX Unleashed
is a sequel to ATV Offroad Fury 2,
a PlayStation 2 exclusive series,
a franchise that we could only play
on the PlayStation 2.
And, now, MX Unleashed can be played
not only on the PS2, but also on the original Xbox.
But I don't see it as a sequel to that series,
the ATV Offroad Fury series,
I see it as a successor, a sequel,
to Motocross Madness 2, a PC exclusive.
And Rainbow Studios is one of those companies
that I've always loved
since the 90s, since they started.
I would always follow their work,
With the Motocross Madness series, besides many others,
games exclusive to the PC
and published by Microsoft themselves.
And, in the meanwhile, Rainbow Studios was bought by THQ,
started making games for the PlayStation 2,
the ATV Offroad Fury series,
exclusive for the PlayStation 2,
they also developed the two games of the Splashdown series,
Jet Ski games,
and, in the meanwhile, created the new Unleashed franchise
with the MX and the MX vs ATV Unleashed.
Then the founders and the "backbone" of Rainbow Studios
ended up being tired of THQ policies
and started their own studio (2XL Studios)
and this leads to the next console of my life.
Then, a few years later, in 2008
I was finally convinced
to buy a new console from the last generation,
in this case the Xbox 360,
because of this game
that was, also, exclusive, to consoles.
It wasn't gonna be released on the PC.
We now have it on the PC, the HD version of Baja,
but in 2008, when the original was released,
it was only available on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
The PlayStation 3 version is horrible,
The Xbox 360 version is fantastic!
And I bought the 360
to play Baja: Edge of Control!
That followed me
and still follows me, after all these years,
10 years have already gone bye since this game was released,
and this is still the best version.
Two years after I bought the Xbox 360
to play Baja,
in October of 2010 my son was born
and I spent
practically all my paternity leave
playing Baja: Edge of Control
with him on top of me, on top of my chest!
While he was asleep, I was playing Baja: Edge of Control!
I concluded the game, 100 percent,
I completely "destroyed" it,
and did the same with the PlayStation 3 version,
and did the same with the PlayStation 4 HD version,
and, in this precise moment, I'm doing the same
with the PC version, in max dificulty settings,
because
it's simply one of the most important games in my life.
And, once more, video game consoles are made of games.
I played around with many other consoles during my life.
I have many home consoles in my collection,
but these were really the ones
that really mean something to me
and that makes come come back to them on a daily basis.
And these are "the video game consoles of my life":
the Mega Drive, that was my very first console,
the PlayStation 2, even having also purchased my very own PS1 back in 1997,
and, later, the Xbox 360
also after beeing a proud owner of an original Xbox.
These three were the video game consoles of my life
because of these three games,
Baja: Edge of Control,
MX Unleashed
and Sonic 2,
were games that made my buy their respective systems.
It's true.
And now I throw the ball to Simão
from the channel Spap Putop:
Simão,
keep this thing going
'cause were here to make
this sort of thing, interactions between channels,
and share
our own tastes and compare with each other and stuff,
this is awesome!
And I wish you all a freakin' awesome 2019
packed with incredible things, ok?
Way better than last year!
Guys, all the best and I'll catch you all on my next video!
Cheers!
