We all know the big video game youtube channels. The ones that get hundreds of thousads of views per video even if it's just them biting off their finger nail and eating it for twenty five seconds. You know your Toalbiscuit, your Cinnemassacr, your Pat the Nes Punk, your Lazy Game Reviews, and your Gamechasers just to name a few, but what about those smaller channels? You know, the ones that have been around forever, but never seemed to get a following as big as those despite being around as long as those channels. Well here is my list of video game channels that deserve a bigger following than what they have.
I just wanted to have this as the thumbnail.
CygusDestroyer20XX
Have you ever thought "Hey I grew up with some of those JLN games that AVGN is always ragging on, and liked them as a kid." If so this is the channel for you. When he's not doing let's plays, reviews, or just schooling his audience on retro games, he is ripping his jacket open and taking on the persona of THE LJN DEFENDER!!!!!

ProjectCEO
Probably the coolest guy out of all on this list; ProjectCEO is a retro/current review youtube page that does a lot of obscure retro games that for the most part are all awesome. At the moment it's all about Turbographix16 and PCEngine games, but it can be anything ranging from NES to Playstation 4. Plus there are discussions about anything and everything within the world of videogames. It's one of my favorites out of the bunch just because he brings up great and interesting point in the comment section. Definitely a page to keep your eyes on.

Teh2Dgamer
This guy made me realize how small my videogame collection really is. LOL. Teh2Dgamer is a youtube channel that has been around as long as AVGN and Pat the Nes Punk, but hasn't blew up like they did. This is more so an informative channel showing great retro games that are must own for collectors. Well collectors like me who collect to play.

NecroVMX
NecroVMX... LOL. Where to start? I like messing with this guy just because he hates my sense of humor. Okay, NecroVMX is a channel where he request games to try out, and he plays them on emulator. He also has discussions about this and that. I think the last one was about why some little kid reported his Custers' Revenge video, even though it had been up for five years. He also does let's plays of some pretty good RPGS.

The Real Blue Dragon
I like what this channel does. There are old retro commercials on this channel, as well as old interviews. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Along with let's plays; he puts up videos called Battle of the Ports where he will have two versions of the same game side by side. Like the Sega Saturn version verses the Sony Playstation version. Shhhhhhh... and if you look real carefully you might just find the Sonic the Hedgehog movie on this channel that was only released in Japan.

FrDougal9000
Not much to say. This is a retro review channel where all the reviews are thought out, and well executed. There is also informative discussion about this and that in the world of gaming and beyond.

Vizzed
Vizzed is an emulator site that recently opened a youtube account. From the website you can upload your gameplay footage which brings about the good and bad of what you'd expect from a bunch of random people uploding game footage. Some videos are of people completing the game, some are of just the title screen, some are of just the music, some are just of some guy screwing around, some are just someone dying (sometimes over and over again, so you never know what will pop up on this channel. But that is the magic of the channel. You never know what someone is going to upload next. Plus if you are to go to Vizzed.com tell them that kittenkilla sent you. ;)

Gexup
This started up as a Gex fan page. Then after the all was said about the Gex games this site grew into an intellectual site about this and that in the world of gaming. Most of his points that are made are really good and I agree with them., But beyond gaming discussion there is also let's palys and retro game reviews. All great might I add.

So there are a few of the gaming channels I watch that are underground, and don't get many views. Maybe they might get a lot of views on a video, but it takes time, and is rare. I'd love to hear what obscure gaming channels you all watch that need more recognition than what they get. I'll subscribe to them if you are willing to subscribe to these channel that deserve a bigger audience than what they have.
