Games That Kept Me Up Past My Bedtime

Heya Felix, curious what platform you played Elden Ring on? Amazing game though, agreed.

My childhood memory was the game elite on the cpc 464.

Not me playing Zelda up past my bedtime whilst watching this 🤣

When i was furloughed during covid i played these games all day and all night. Didn't know what time or day it was. Good thing it didn't matter and good thing I had these great games!

Tears of the kingdom, after finishing and completing it 6 months ago, after i played alot of games the past months, i came back to it to start again last night days, started 9pm, lo and behold after my last bathroom break its almost 5am LOL!

You are young ... I can't do that anymore

Good idea for a video. I also really appreciate how the Western music from WarioWare: Move It! was used when you talked about Red Dead Redemption 2!

Smash ultimate online is great, you just wanna play one mor... ## network error ##

It’s hard to believe the Switch is already someone’s childhood memories. The older you get the faster time seems to fly by.

Final Fantasy XII, the original version (NOT the Zodiac Job whatever its called remaster). Spent all night beating Yiazmat, the post-game superboss.
Also, Super Ghouls and Ghosts. That needs no explanation.

I can’t sleep more than 2-3 hours every night because of extreme insomnia. That was what made me a gamer. 7 consoles because I go crazy on Animal Crossing at Nights. But I hope I get more sleep soon or else I die from these. People use to not sleep because of gaming but I got to gaming because I couldn’t sleep.

As an adult, I have a hard time playing video games for long periods of time. The only exceptions have been Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom and the Advance Wars games (favorite series). I can play those games for hours without even trying.

I also want dlc for mario party superstars!

😊

So if we're a Nintendo channel talking about non Nintendo games should it just be called Life? 😅

I'm just pulling your leg

Back in 1998 I recall a very astute friend of mine saying to his then wife..' do you think I've got an issue?' He was playing The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time until 1 am . A family man with many responsibilities studying law . I'm glad he shared that with me as it diminished the addiction I had with these various games at the time. However I must emplore to so many people that this is by far a much healthier indulgence than reality television at the time or middling entertainment in it's many hideous guises at that time. In fact one could argue that these games made you a better thinker or perhaps more intelligent rather than just these games fooling you to believe your smarter than you really are. Some of these games are an absolute work of art. Thank goodness for modernity I say!!!

BotW and the Xenoblade games for sure. Usually it would be an empty battery that forced me to stop playing way past midnight.

Eldin Ring doesn't appear to be on Switch. Why put it in a list from Nintendo Life?

New subscriber!

Just read the title and somehow knew this would be Felix

I never have a problem playing games too late because I'm old and when it's time to sleep I can't stop it, but I do have a flexible work start time and sometimes have a problem stopping a game and get ready for work and lose track of time.

smash bros 64
halo 2 online launch month
cod 4 lauch month
overwatch
soccer games my whole life

Unicorn Overlord

Odyssey feels like it came out yesterday for me

Baldur's gate 3 has kept me up. Even when I was trying to sleep I was thinking about strategies to beat Raphael 😅

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is literally my favorite game of all time, I’m always so glad to see it talked about!!

So glad to see love for The Great Ace Attorney! Such a masterful collection of two masterful games

I have to say that all games I play keep me up at night considering I work nights and sleep in the afternoon.

Minecraft and Stardew Valley

So, so SOOOO many times 😂

TOTK kept me up late before two separate grad school graduation ceremonies, lol. the first time was the night before launch- I couldn't sleep at all from excitement over totk finally, finally launching the next morning and a new album from one of my favorite bands of all time dropping the same day. My mind was racing all night, and then it became nerves about how awful I was going to feel the next day at the master degree conference...

which happened again later in the month when I was doing the Gerudo arc and I just could NOT stop during the lightning temple, even though my Real graduation was the next morning, early. Once i finally had beaten the boss (with a lot of early game cheese and stupid determination, mind you) the feeling of playing totk was so burned into my brain that I just tossed and turned and was haunted by vaguely totk-engine dreams and was crafting and flying and stuff all night... good times.

Waluigi has infiltrated your video, Felix!

Nice Jets hat. How did you become a fan?

Mario vs donkey kong was my game that I played pretty late.

I love your outlook. I think you are a great guy! I also love your accent. All that being said, that mustache is terrifying. Lol... no harm or ill will intended.

What about "Top 10 games that I wish I was alive for (or old enough to play) when they first released"? I bet Ocarina of Time makes the list for you!

Nice video thanks.
I have fallen asleep playing before.
Climbing a tower in BOTW . 😅
And as far as age goes I remember going over a friends house and playing track and field with the power pad and Duck hunt etc .

what?? felix why do you look like a dad?

The past 3 weeks, I'm staying up far too late. I decided to casually pop back into BOTW to look for more Koroks... and it unintentionally turned into me spending 2 weeks hardcore going after 100%-ing the game. Then I launched right into TOTK the past week... also staying up far too late.

This will date me. My first all night game was Morrowind. I heard about it on Toonami and walked to a local rental store to try it over the weekend. I was maybe 12 or 13. I was completely sucked into it and didn't realize how much time had passed till the sun came up.

Rust keeps me up 24/7

great vid!

It's not "addicting". It's "addictive". You're not American, and neither is the majority of Nintendo Life's audience.

You play to Premiere Pro?

Wait? They have Elden Ring on Switch? :O

I'm not the type of person who can sit down and do anything for more than a few hours even if it's something that I love as much as video games but the last game to get me to stay up past my bedtime or just play in 3+ hour sessions was Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

wait felix has barely/never played SSB Brawl and he's married, damn I feel old

for me, there are too many, but I can clearly remember I struggled so much to put down grandia 2 back in the dreamcast, man I was sleepless for days for this game, another I can remember is persona 5, it even made me forget I had to go to work haha

One thing I took from this video is I am getting old.
