Erin Plays

Here's a sneak peek at my next video!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a good week and I thought it would be fun to share a clip from my next video with you guys! I'm doing another "games in 30 seconds" video, but this time it's on TurboGrafx-16 games. Here's a clip from the video and full thing *should* be out tomorrow. Enjoy! 

Also, for those of you interested, I know have mugs available in the store. I purchased a sample and it actually is pretty nice in person! I'd like to do another mug or two. I'm thinking "Cof...

Deleted "scene" from my Sega Visions video!

Hey guys! If you haven't seen it yet, I just put out my video talking about the history of Sega Visions magazine, which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/H1UhDNWIz9o

But here is a segment that I decided to cut out of the final video at the last minute. It's an edited down look at the final issue of Sega Visions from September 1995. I just felt that it didn't match the scripted portion of the video and it just ma...

What's been going on with me + New Video

Hey everyone! I hope you're enjoying the end of summer and I just wanted to say hi and give you an update on what I've been working on. 

I'm currently working on a video about Sega Visions magazine, which has been on my list of videos I want to make for a while now. This was SUPPOSED to be quick and easy, but unfortunately my carpal tunnel issues (both hands) have made it very hard to edit. Or stream. Or hold a phone. So, besides the pain part, it also is stressful because I can't ...

New room and new video coming soon!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update and let you know that a new Blockbuster rentals video is coming and it should be out VERY soon. This time it’s about SNES rentals from 1995! 1995 also had some good genesis titles, so I’ll do that one soon too. I’d like to branch out to other consoles but some years seem to be very focused on sports titles which I have nothing to say about, lol. But we’ll see.

Also, I haven’t streamed in a few days because we’re sw...

New video coming very very soon!

Hey everyone! I was planning on doing one big video review on Castlevania 64 once I completed it, but I found myself getting overwhelmed with just how much there is to say about the game. It's just . . . SO MUCH! So that being said, I've decided to make this into two videos. Probably. 

The first half will cover the game up until the boss fight after the infamous nitro section. Then, if I manage to beat the game, I'll do a video talking about THAT experience. If you've been keeping ...

A follow up to the Power Pad video is coming soon!

Hey guys, I wanted to fill you in on the video I'm working on at the moment. Since the Power Pad (NES) video is my highest viewed video, I knew I'd have to do something like that again. So this time we're going over to the Nintendo 64 and playing a Japanese exclusive DDR game- Dance Dance Revolution Disney Dancing Museum! 

I bought this a few years back at a convention and I KEPT forgetting to make a video on it. Well, the time has finally come and I hope you guys and my other view...

Sailor Moon Card Video! Patreon-only for the time being.

Hi everyone! I hope you had a good weekend. Here's a quick little video about my Sailor Moon trading card collection from when I was a kid. I might make this public on my second channel at some point, but for now I'm just leaving it here for you guys :) I hope you like it!

Also, yesterday I filmed a follow up to my Power Pad video from a few years back! I'm currently editing it and I might add some things, so I'll give you guys all the details as soon as I have a better idea of what it ...

Hi! Update about what I'm working on and a question for you :)

Hey! I hope you all are doing awesomely and thank you so much if you're reading this for sticking around and being a Patron! I was in California for a while and I got to see my parents (and puppies!) for the first time in over a year so that was really nice. I apologize for the lack of streams during that time. I got it all set up but I was doing a lot to help them with things around the house so I was pretty exhausted, to put it mildly. 

Anyway, I did film a little video on my pho...

Play Station light gun video coming soon!

Hey everyone! I’m currently in the process of editing my next video and I wanted to tell you guys about it! I’ve been wanting to do another light gun video, and decided that one focusing on PS1 games could be fun. So I’m doing a scripted video about Time Crisis, the Point Blank games and Area 51! The set up was a bit crazy with this one, because I’m using a camera to capture the game on an actual CRT and there is also a camera on me. I’m sitting on the floor for this one, which was ...

So. Much. HE-MAN!

Hey everyone! I hope you've been doing well and I wanted to update you on the next video that I'm currently working on. So, it's a little different from what I usually do-- I'm reviewing the new Masters of the Universe figures because I've officially lost my mind. No, I'm just kidding. I'm doing it because He-Man seems to do okay on my channel, and after seeing the Skeletor figure in person I was like okay. . . these are pretty sweet. Mike and I end up getting almost all of the new Origins an...

New video! And short update.

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing awesome and I wanted to say hi and let you know what's been going on in Erin Plays Land.

The next video that should be out VERY soon is called "Mall Games." I've been wanting to make this video for like 3 years now, and if you liked my "Top 10 Sunsets" video then you should enjoy this one! Basically, I compiled a list of 9 games that feature levels that take place in a mall setting. Everything from NES Barbie to Dead Rising makes an appearance. It's tak...

What's happening in February for Erin Plays!

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing well and I just wanted to check in with you all and give you an update on what's going on with me. Firstly, I was partnered on Twitch earlier this month so thank you SO much for supporting my streams! New emotes will be coming soon.

And If you've been in my streams, you probably know that I fell down my stairs and hurt my tail bone pretty badly, so it's been making things like streaming and editing harder than usual since I cannot sit normally. Ho...

Patreon only video! Bad SNES Games outtakes!

Hey everyone! Happy New Year! If you haven't seen it already, I just released a new video covering 5 bad Super Nintendo games which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/rAgxDKADGDY

In this Patreon-only video, here are two games that I cut from the final video. I just felt like these two games were a little slow when it came to my commentary, but there were still some funny moments so I decided to share it with you ...

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! This image has nothing to do with the post, but I liked it. 

I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank you for supporting my channel even through the absolute HELL that was 2020. It really helps me knowing you guys care and want the channel to keep going. This year sucked for me mentally, but I tried to put out as much content as I could this year as well as keep up with streaming. I'm not going to beat myself up over not doing X or Y, and you shouldn't eith...

What's happening for the rest of 2020!

Hey everyone, happy holidays! I hope you guys are doing great! I'm here to give you a little update on what to expect for the rest of December and say hello.

My next video will be Christmas/Holiday themed! It's a classic "Erin Plays" style video about various Mario Christmas hacks. I'm alllllmost done editing it so that should be out super soon! When I made my last post, I was going to do Death Smiles 2 (it's very wintery) but decided to go this route instead, because I feel like more p...

What to expect in December!

Hey everyone! I wanted to check in with you all and update you on what I'm planning for this month. First off, I'm in the editing process of a video that I've been putting off for like 2 months now, lol. It's a video showcasing some random Switch games that I think you should check out! The past few months I've had my Switch hooked up in our living room, and it's been fun playing games in a chill area where it's just for me (not for a stream, video, etc.) So this has allowed me to find some f...

Happy November!

Hey everyone, so October came and went and I felt totally dead for a bit. But, I wanted to share with you guys what I'm working on and a super cool new monitor that's been in the works for almost a whole year! 

So this is the JVC Videosphere (how cool is that name?!) Mike got this for me for Christmas LAST YEAR but it needed to be repaired, and long story short, IT'S NOW BACK HOME WITH ME! It now produces an image which is great but I'm trying to get audio to work. So once I get th...

October is basically over and my brain is broken :D

Hey everyone! As always, October has NOT been long enough this year and I think I put way too much on my plate for videos and streams this year. For example, I wanted to do a video on Night Slashers but ran out of time, so I at least was able to stream it tonight (I'll be uploading the VOD to my second channel, Erin Plays Extras, for those interested.) 

But the good news is that I have a video coming out very soon about 13 retro games that are great to play during Halloween! This w...

Erin Plays merch is here! You get the first look :)

Hey everyone! I hope your week is off to a good start. I just wanted to let you know that I finally have t-shirts available for those of you who are interested! I'm sharing it here with you all first! I'm not sure when I'll publicly "launch" it (is that the proper word here? I don't know,) but I figure here would be a good first step. Please feel free to let me know if any links are weird. Teespring takes a good chunk of the profits but I figure hey, for the people who would like a shirt, the...

Quick update on Zelda Part 2 and October videos!

Hey everyone! I wanted to give you all a quick update on what I've been working on and what's to come in October. 

I'm currently trying to get Zelda part 2 either out tonight or tomorrow. I'd like to have that out of the way BEFORE I start my Halloween themed videos, so if it doesn't come out until tomorrow or so, don't be alarmed! October is still Halloween videos time! 

My first Halloween themed video will be on House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast. This was a really fun v...

What's to come in September!

Hey everyone! September is already going by waaaayyy too fast but that's okay, I'm making it work. I'm currently working on getting 3 videos up before the month is over and then it's Halloween time! I'm finally starting to feel in the ~Fall spirit~.

Anyway, up next I am FINALLY doing a video on some of my favorite commercials from my childhood. Originally, I was going to do a top 10, but I decided to narrow it down to 3 for now and maybe I'll do other videos like this from time to time....

Let's take a look at an Anime magazine from the 90s!

Hey guys! I hope you're all doing well. I will be doing a post soon talking about what's to come in Erin Plays Land, but first-- here's a patreon-only video! Let's take a look through some ANIMERICA magazines from the 90s! I used to like this magazine as a kid, so I recently purchased a few issues to look back on. Enjoy!

Deleted Scenes for Patrons Only!

Hey everyone! So when I was editing my Barbie Super Model SNES video, I took out an entire section that actually had some fun moments in it. Basically, after getting a game over the first time, I replayed the entire game and got a game over again. After this I finally realized my problem was that I wasn't getting enough points from the challenges, lol. So I decided to cut this entire run out to make things more concise. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! 

In other news, I just filmed a vide...

Enjoy this pic of me second guessing my life choices by playing Widget on NES! Also, updates galore!

Hey everyone! I hope you've been staying safe and happy! I wanted to give you an update on what I'm working on and boy, is it all over the place!

I'm currently working on 3 videos at once. I'm a bit over whelmed at the moment but I've finally pulled it together, lol. I am currently editing a video that I decided to film on a whim- Widget on NES versus Super Widget on SNES. Spoiler alert!! - the NES game sucks so, so SO much. I thought this screen cap from a part I'm not using in the vid...

Astyanax and other upcoming videos!

Hey guys! I've been keeping myself busy over here trying to get videos out as quickly as possible. I'm currently working on two and once, which makes me a little scatterbrained but I'm excited.

I'm FINALLY doing a letsplay of Astyanax on NES. I know a lot of you in my streams grew up with this game, and boy does it kick my ass. But regardless, I think it will make for a fun video and that will be out in the next few days. 

After that, I'd like to release my Q and A video! I h...

Patreon-only Video! Unboxing my TurboGrafx mini!

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a nice weekend. Here's a little video of my first impressions of the Turbo Grafx 16 mini! I'll probably do a stream of this soon. Anyway, I hope you like the video and I'll post with more updates soon :)

Take care!

Erin

Finally doing some Game Gear stuff! And a Patreon-only video coming soon :)

Hi everyone! 

I was originally planning to give an update on my next video along with a Patreon-only video, but bad weather/power issues prevented me from filming yesterday so I'll just post the update on my next video for now. But be on the lookout for a Patreon-only unboxing of the TG-16 mini! I'll film that and get it up ASAP. 

For now I'm editing my next video which will be a look at the Coca-Cola Game Gear and the game, Coca-Cola Kid (screenshot above. . . yeah, it'...

Update on what's to come next!

Hey everyone! I wanted to give you an update on what I've been working on here in Erin Plays Land! I hope you guys have been doing well and staying safe with everyone going on! 

The next video will be a look through a 1994 JCPenney toy catalog. I really enjoyed doing the last one, where I looked at a Montgomery Wards catalog from 1984 so I hope you all enjoy this one too. 1994 was when I just turned 6 years old so I have a lot of memories in this one! This will probably come out to...

New video coming already!

Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekend and I wanted to give a quick update on what's to come. I know I just posted one earlier in the week, but I wanted to catch you up on a few more things :)

Firstly, my next video called "Top 10 He-Man Games" will most likely be out tomorrow! This came together A LOT better than I thought it would and I'm SO excited for you all to see it! It's a bit different than my usual videos. This time, the entire video is scripted and I'm actually not...

Time for an update on what's to come! Trying new things!

Hey guys! My sleep schedule is beyond repair, but that's okay- I've been up all night editing my latest video which SHOULD be up today! 

So, I don't usually make videos about modern games, but today I am. I love the Cooking Mama DS and 3DS games, so I was excited for the Switch game. And I'm sure that many of you have heard that there was some serious weird drama surrounding the release of the game, so I thought, why not do a video about it!? So my Cooking Mama Cookstar video will ...
