A Sanctuary of Retro Gaming

Retro_Now began in the summer of 2012, born from a need for solace during a challenging period marked by the founder’s mother’s illness. What started as a refuge in retro video games blossomed into a passion, where classic games provided not just distraction but also inspiration.

Craftsmanship in Customs

Inspired by his mother Nadia's love for crafts, the channel’s custom retro gaming projects are a core element. From a Mario-themed SNES to more intricate designs, each piece is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail that Nadia held dear. These creations, some featured in the gallery, are tributes to both retro gaming and a mother’s enduring influence.

Dedication to Quality

Nadia's influence extends beyond creativity; her keen eye for detail and commitment to quality are evident in every aspect of Retro_Now. This ethos is applied meticulously, from the careful selection of gaming and streaming equipment to the high standards maintained in Pokémon pack openings and community interactions.

Honoring a Legacy

Though Nadia’s physical presence ended on January 1st, 2016, her spirit and passion continue to fuel Retro_Now. Each stream, custom project, Pokémon card revealed, and apparel piece is imbued with her memory and dedication to excellence.

  • We wanted to be able to bring back that excitement at the card shop from when we were kids. The one where no matter who was there, if they were opening packs of cards, even complete strangers wanted to hang out and see what they pulled. And Twitch seemed like the best opportunity to create that again.

  • The highlight doesn’t necessarily come down to any one clip or stream, but more-so the community we’ve managed to cultivate. Everyone is so kind and supportive to one another, and always willing to keep the good vibes going.

  • Scotch: My personal favorite is ConnorEatsPants. The way he interacts with his community and the content he’s creating has always just been super funny and entertaining for me.

    Retro: I honestly don’t watch too many streams nowadays with the kids taking up so much of my time, so when I do, I just catch Team Primo stuff when I can because it feels like home
