I also decided to get back into the Nintendo ecosystem after hearing so many people rave about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017). And I wanted to try all the other Nintendo-exclusive games I missed over the years like Metroid Prime Remastered. So at the end of the video, I bought a Nintendo Switch OLED. Now I'm ready for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023)!

Update: How's the Nintendo Switch been? I fell in love again with handheld gaming! I can game anywhere while travelling and catch up on many older games I missed. It's been an excellent addition to my Xbox Series X and PS5. I'm looking at the Steam Deck next.

Pune is a sprawling city in the western state of Maharashtra, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and beautiful architecture.

There’s a difference between just a store that sells products and THE STORE that is passionate about its products and it shows in the video. The amount of retro collection is some next level.

Babu is where I'd love to see myself in 30-40 years. Still rocking, still loving tinkering and fixing up all types of gaming consoles in his workshop. I love it. What stands out to me the most is his gaming collection. They're clearly worn down but that's because he clearly gets that these gaming consoles were meant to be USED. To be PLAYED with and not just sitting preserved in a shiny clear case. Each one of those gameboys and game and watches has stories behind them and I love that 💖

I have been his customer since the last twenty five years!! His passion for video games has not changed one bit 😁

I'm 29, an avid gamer and I live 3 miles from Babu's store.
The man is a legend and an inspiration as to how you don't give up on things you love as a child.
He has always been kind and helpful.
Great video, you really did justice to his legacy.

Bro was giving out a $350 console for free. You can tell how passionate he is about gaming. What a legend!

Incredible to watch as, like you said, these types of business have completely died out in the west. Only thing missing from the video was you setting up a SNES and playing a versus match of Street Fighter II with Babu Ji.

Can tell he genuinely wanted to give him the Nintendo Switch. Mad props to the guy who made the video by paying him and in turn supporting what he does. One gamer helping another out is ALWAYS great to see

I was at Babu’s place in Dec.He spent a good 3-4 hours with me. Amazing guy. He has a lot more rare stuff that he didn’t show Karl, stuff that would put to shame some collectors in the US! Kudos to this amazing man.

Babu is the real OG! I used to rent old consoles from him as a kid 20 yrs ago!

My heart just melted 🤧🤧🤧 Babu is as genuine of a businessman as it can get I mean look at the guy he just enjoys playing games and wants everyone else to enjoy as well.
Certainly a Gem. I genuinely want to go to Pune from Haryana just to meet him in person such a lovely soul.

Babu needs his own YouTube channel. He's like the Indian Super Mario.

BABU IS AN AMAZING MAN!!! May God bless and protect that man for the rest of his life.

I loved how he wanted to make sure you were serious about gaming and would actually play on the Switch before offering it for free. It was important for him to know, and if he was to part with it, it better go to someone who will take joy from it. I mean, the generosity in itself deserves praise regardless, but this little detail shows how much he appreciates gaming and people passionate about gaming like himself.

Such kindness - both you and he. I love streets like that. I used to visit areas slightly similar in San Francisco but all that is gone now 70 years later. Back then China Town in SF would be like that, dense with family stores open to the street and side alleys (and with plucked chickens hanging outside and on rare occasions a woman with bound feet). In some ways watching your videos is like going back in time for me.

Babu purely resembled the true embodiement of being a human being thats just so passionate about his hobby... so much that he was even willing to give away a console for free just to let another person experience the fun of playing a video game.... the fact that baabus store is small and cozy , makes it an authenthic game store

I hope Babu has success with his shop and has good health for many years. I love that he is so young at heart and extremely passionate.

As an old school gamer, I absolutely enjoyed this

Mr Babu could easily be your favorite uncle. God bless the man. He's got the complete evolution of gaming sitting in his shops.

Update 2: I revisited Babu's game shop and went deeper into his story and his game collection in his childhood home https://youtu.be/0chGU7lG6J8. Drop by and say Namaste to Babu sometime, Google Maps goo.gl/maps/3HdF8F6ogc9yAkCi7?entry=yt. Update 1: How's the Nintendo Switch been? I fell in love again with handheld gaming! I can game anywhere while travelling and catch up on many older games I missed. Then there are the Nintendo exclusives I've finally got to enjoy, like Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime Remaster. It's been an excellent addition to my Xbox Series X and PS5. I'm looking at the Steam Deck next. 🇮🇳 Delhi video game market tour https://youtu.be/wjLf9fDnG0I 🇵🇰 Lahore video game market tour https://youtu.be/KMBrShV-LWI
