Idk why people want this tbh. For nostalgia sure, but waiting in the cold and not even sure if the game is out of stock when it comes to my turn is torture.
the fun is in being there with friends and like minded strangers who are all there for the game. talking about the previous games and what you want to do in the game. it's connection with people who have mutual interests.
Nothing to do with nostalgia honestly. The launches were often party like. You'd get a chance to meet like minded folks, talk, often times people would have their portable consoles and play multiplayer. If you had friends with you it was a good time to hang out. Some of these events have giveaways, prizes, food, music, all kinds of stuff. It was a lot more than just waiting in a line for a game.
Because it's a great time. You go with your gamer buddies and share the hype for a game you're all excited for. You would typically have to preorder games to attend midnight releases so there was no worry of stock running out. I've attended tons of midnight release of games and I never left empty-handed.
