Hi, my name is Jak. I make videos on silly little Nintendo games. :)

Jakstalgia was originally supposed to be a channel focused on nostalgia (Jak + Nostalgia = Jakstalgia). But, I got bored of that pretty quick and now I'm stuck with this name! So now I do video essays on various video game related topics. I try to upload 1 video a month, but if you take a look at my upload history you'll see I'm very good at sticking to schedules. :)
