Derek The Retro Gamer

Derek The Retro Gamer (formerly named Derek S Reviews) is an account that was created in May 2016 as a channel that was focused on reviews on video games and movies. Before any new reviews were posted on the channel, all the original reviews were re-uploaded from Derek S (movie reviews are now deleted). In these reviews, the games were reviewed based on their gameplay, graphics, and presentation while movies were reviewed based on the plot, animation or visuals, and characters. The last review posted on the channel (not deleted off channel or re-upload edit) was on Crash Tag Team Racing for the PlayStation 2. In 2017, the name was changed to Derek The Retro Gamer. Also, the movie reviews and other videos were deleted to only include the gaming review videos originally released on the channel.

History
Derek S Reviews (original name) was created in May 2016 after two accounts that were previously deleted which were Derek S Gaming and ''Pop! Buzz''. Before new reviews were posted on the channel, all the video game and movie reviews that were present on Derek S were re-uploaded on the channel.

The first new review that was featured on the channel was for the game Mario Kart Wii. This was the only review on the channel that originally did not have the color scoring system that was present in every other review. However, the original review was deleted as the review was re-uploaded with the color scoring system on July 5, 2016.

Also, the channel saw news videos and other videos. Unfortunately, there were only a few videos featured on the channel that were videos other than reviews or announcements.

In 2017, the channel's name was changed to Derek The Retro Gamer as it was intentionally going to be revived, but it never ended up happening. In the same year, the movie reviews and other videos were deleted off the channel. Also, videos were re-edited (using the now closed YouTube Video Editor), and the originals were deleted. The reviews that received re-upload edits were uploaded on July 3, 2017 which were the Cars and The Sims 4 reviews. In the Cars re-uploaded edit review, all content about Disney Month 2016 is cut out, and in The Sims 4 re-upload edit review, it cuts out all the content previously featured on the Derek S video 5 Game Breaking Glitches in The Sims 4, which the review was initially released one day after the video.
