8:30 If you've been around the late 2000s and early 2010 range, you should recognize that startup sound from countless YTPs of that source lol

I'm a big Nintendo guy through and through but man I still get chills listening to that PS1 start up theme. My older sister used to bring her PS1 to my house when she babysat me whenever my grandma had to go to dialysis and we just have fun playing Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro. Good times...

The ps4 startup, just saddened me, since it’s been a deep part of me since 2015 to 2022

[nitrax]

Full points on this one, and the last one has got to be the Mega Drive (Genesis) Mini.
A load of iconic ones here as well as some more obscure consoles, which I love.

@The Video Game Professors Actually the boot-up sound @3:41 is for the PS3 Slim

One thing i learned from this video is that I’m a lot more familiar with the old startup sounds compared to the new one and i got a 15/20 so 75%

[Amber-rlkm]

Last one was the Sega Genesis Classic Edition, if I’m not mistaken. Not one I’m all that familiar with, but I’d recognize those classic Sonic tunes anywhere. Only major mishap I had was I mistook the 3DS theme for the Wii U theme. Wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that I’m a huge Nintendo fan & own & have put tons of hours into both systems.

[Caddylily]

Got thirteen right. The ones I missed were consoles I was only vaguely aware of.

16/21
I know more about consoles than I thought.

[UndefeatableTwilightCatgirl]

The PlayStation and PS2 sounds give me such nostalgia feels.

[Gaming_Garo]

As a Nintendo fan I could only guess eleven correctly.

[garvensman]

No SEGA CD is a travesty! The coolest sound for turning on a console ever!

[IsThatDuckTheG.W.R.Engine]

I personally got 18/20 correct (even the Atari and cd-i correct)

[Zaddis]

9:24 when you turn it on it scares the s*** outta you

[KINGTONY]

★ 19


We missed the Xbox series but somehow got all the classic consoles that we have not touched, I guess it just goes to show how little character new consoles have.

Why would you accept Xbox One as an answer? The 2005 Xbox 360 and the 2013 Xbox One are completely different. Anybody who grew up in the 2000’s should know the difference. The 2010 Xbox 360 even had a different startup-

[AlefSousa]

I never had many consoles in my life (Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2 and that's it) so this one should be really interesting to give a try, most will be totally blind guesses lol! Anyway, here are my guesses:



01 - Gamecube ✅ (this one I know because of the memes lol)
02 - PS3 ❌ (I knew it sounded Playstation-ish, but it was just a wild guess lol)
03 - OG Xbox ❌ (I didn't even knew that the DC had an intro lmao)
04 - Nintendo DS ✅
05 - this one has to be the OG Xbox ✅ (I've seen the intro before but couldn't remember the sounds it made, but it felt like these two belonged together!)
06 - PSP ❌ (not even close lol)
07 - This one has got to be the PS3, right? ✅ (let's gooo)
08 - Is it that new handheld console that has a crank by its side? I don't know its name lol ❌ (lmaaao I thought it sounded NES-like, but the tip totally threw me off, that was totally on me lol)
09 - PS5 ❌ (I got the gen right at least lol)
10 - Nintendo 3DS ✅
11 - Xbox 360 ❌ (another one that I had no idea that it had an intro, wow)
12 - ??? Have no idea, sounds a bit Nintendo-y, but I have no idea which one it is ❌(I was waaay off, wow lmao)
13 - Maybe this one is the Xbox 360? ✅ (yeaaah)
14 - SNES Classic? ✅ (I only guessed it because of the earlier tip that there would be other consoles similar to the NES Classic in this lol)
15 - That roar instanly made me think of the Atari Jaguar, so that'll be my guess lol ✅ (yeah, this one was a given lol)
16 - PS1 ✅ (c'mon, that's the most iconic there ever was, even though it filled everyone up with apprehension when it would start playing lol)
17 - Wii U ✅(I legit only got this one right because of the "here we go" soundbite, I was thinking it was the PSP before this sound showed up, then, it was a given lol)
18 - Have no idea, but it made think of Sega, so I'm gonna this is for the Game Gear ❌ (oh lord, I would've never guessed it, and I think that's a good thing lol)
19 - GameBoy ❌ (Nooo, I was so close lol)
20 - PS2 ✅ (Another really iconic one and another one that filled us with apprehension when starting a game lol)
21 - Have no idea lol

11/20 Okay, that was better than I thought I would do, consider I never owned that many consoles in my life! That was a really fun one, there were some in there that I never heard before!
