I could list a bunch of general YTers that cover retro games among other gaming topics, but for those who mainly cover retro games I like Big Ole Words, Hungry Goriya, and Video Works.

That U Can Beat Video Games guy with the golden retriever.
I really like Sean Season’s channel for an overview of Playstation games, and Josh Strife Plays for a “compact playthrough” format.
They don’t exclusively do retro stuff, but Digital Foundry’s DFRetro series is brilliant.
DF Retro has never disappointed. If I remember correctly, they literally yeeted someone off Game Sack to help do the retro content. Could be wrong about that though.
Sean Seanson for PSX content. He does videos on obscure games. He does videos on japanese exclusives. There are huge videos where he covers every released game of certain developers like square or namco. Also some sweet music sets only with songs from playstation games.
I absolutely love his positive attitude. Great guy. Also i discovered so many cool games i otherwise would have never heard of.
I like SNES Drunk
Modern Vintage Gamer and Gaming Historian are my favorite
RetroGameCorps is phenomenal if you’re looking into emulation and / or emulation handhelds. Got an Ambernic RG351V after watching his review and followed his guide for setting up Emudeck on my Steam Deck. 10/10 channel IMO
James Channel is good. Very new so there aren’t many videos but he does good technical dives and general nonsense with old arcade games and retro systems.
Also made a handheld super Nintendo with duct tape and hot glue.
He really came out swinging. Looking forward to what else he puts out, it seems like he has a ton of rare stuff.
Old Mate James is turning into quite the cromulent video maker!
My PK cell!
I like Macho Nacho Productions, I’m currently looking for 79K PS2 Slim to turn into Ultraslim because of that guy
Slightly more focused on emulation but Modern Vintage Gamer is a very high quality channel
SNESDrunk and Summoning Salt come to mind!
Game Sack is a long-running channel that’s one of the best retro game channels IMO. They release a video every week or two. MetalJesusRocks and his endless quest for Hidden Gems is also very good.
I love Game Sack! Highly recommend them.
Matt McMuscles has been on a roll lately with his retro retrospectives. The near 11 hour Double Dragon marathon was a chef’s kiss. (https://youtu.be/TEn1ALxpFAg)
Becoming kind of a fan of Korone as well lately, even if I can’t understand her most of the time. Really enjoying her Legend of Zelda playthrough right now. She’s just having fun discovering and not bothering with doing it “right” (https://www.youtube.com/live/NWzBjSwAcvk)
Ole matty-fatty definitely does some pretty good coverage. And with I guess his background in QA testing. Has a bit of insight and a few connections to help with that.
Sega Lord X is the first one that springs to mind. I tend to prefer hardware and history over too much detail on the games themselves for other channels.
He always includes a reference to Skies of Arcadia in his intros so he automatically gets a top spot for me
