You're mirgrating to Canada?:P:P:P:P:

This is very similar to my Wii story.

Back in 2006 I really wanted the Wii. My parents told me it was out of stock and too expensive (around $600 USD in my country) and I would have to wait until June 2007. They also told me they found a customer for the Gamecube and I would have to sell it ASAP.

I sold my Gamecube in early November and basically had no console and would have no console for months.

Christmas time, I had almost no presents for some reason ( ) I guess I was 9 and was too old for presents anyway. We were done with the presents and then my father gave me an envelope at the last minute. I thought it was money but when I opened it it told me to look under the bed.

And there it was. My Wii.

Yeah, I jumped with joy and screamed and said thanks to everyone. They have it on video and is actually quite embarrassing.

Cute, your Nintendo64 moment.

Such a classic. 

My memorable nintendo moment was way back when the snes was out. It was all the rage and very few people had it. Keep in mind in my country tech is like 2x the price and my family was very poor. Back then I barely had any idea what a video game was but my older brother used to talk about it. Then my dad whent to the US for some teemp work and when he came back brought this strange box and cartridges that looked like a vcr. Still no clue what the hell it was and he pluged it in and explained what it was and how games worked, Me and my brother went crazzy and all the kids around our neirborhood where coming over all the time.

Again, I had no idea what this was or what games where, I was like 7-8. Turns out it was just an nes, wiith the first zelda, mario, contra, I think it was galaga and a racer and some others. It was what my father could aford and I could not care less, this is when I first fell in love with zelda. Even the cartridge was gold,much diferent then all the other games, I knew it was especial. I skiped the snes, but have had every other nitendo console since then.

I think Nintendo will announce a Amiibo hub/world game. That would be my best E3 estimate.

It was clear that Nintendo gave up on the Wii U after it's first real holiday. All funds for Wii U have been pulled back to the minimum from that point.
The only thing that Nintendo could still invest big on - for the Wii U part - is a Amiibo hub/world game. At this point it's the only big thing they have going on the Wii U. Hence my quess.

Definitely the ending of LoZ Wind Waker. So unexpected for how the game began, yet so intense of a conclusion.  can someone tell me how to tag spoilers?

@Smeags: Your story is ...

Too bad you can't win your own contest.

@morenoingrato We NEED to see that video, asap.

My memorable moment is really quite simple:
The joy of having my cousins come over my house, so i could play with them on my super nintendo a game from capcom called The King of Dragons.It was a beat-em-up game with co-op.Quite simple and fast, takes about 1 hour to finish the game, but it gave me so many good memories and made my childhood that more incredible.

Heh, well talking about memorable Nintendo moments, there are so many I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm in Europe so I won't be able to participate anyway, so I'll keep it a bit short. I already mentioned the 'dog story' a couple times here over the years, and some of you may know that already, so I'll mention something else:

-----
I have a small family. Divorced parents each with a new partner and a family of their own make it artificially bigger, but blood-relatives, I can count them on one hand. Especially now. A while ago however, definitely over ten, maybe fifteen years ago if I had to guess, things were still different.

I used to have an aunt and an uncle. Two in fact, and three cousins. Relations between my mother, grandmother and aunt on one side were already strained with my uncle on the other. Two sisters and their mother against the brother, because he chose a woman nobody really liked as a companion. At this time though, they still kept it mostly under wraps for us, my three cousins and me. One of those cousins however, was the son of my uncle and because of our parents we never really saw that much of him already while the other three of us were (and are) like brothers. Of course, they are brothers, but because I am alone and we lived only a block away, I was always with them.

Until one faithful day, mother's day, when my other uncle with my cousin and his wife actually decided to show up at my grandmother's apartment when the day approached it's end. There we finally were, the entire family together; my grandmother (who was happy with the occasion), my aunt with my two brothers/cousins and her husband, my uncle with my third cousin and his wife and my mother with my step-father and of course, me.

When dinner was had, we proceeded with what we usually did at my grandmother's. Playing a video game. This practice had evolved from playing Soccer or Duck Hunt on NES to Mario Kart 64 on the N64. And that was what we were going to play. The four of us, all racing together in the living room. The rest of the family watched and laughed and eventually, wanted to get in on the action. Especially my own parents and my aunt, who were fairly adequate gamers themselves during those days to say the least. And so it was, we took turns and held a small tournament between the now 8 players. My grandmother didn't dare play, and my uncle and wife kept in the background, but at least they were there.

My aunt, she was Wario, as she aways was, and won most races. Her husband, was Bowser, again like he always was and mostly got the Lightning power-up, because he was riding somewhere behind, like always. And he tried so much. My mother, she was Peach, like, you guessed it, mostly mimicking the voices Peach does in game. My step-father, he was Yoshi, and fairly good too, at least very competitive as he always played time trail back home. My nephews, they were Toad and Donkey Kong. One of them likes Toad so he's Toad in everything, while the other feels that way about Donkey Kong. My third nephew, he was Luigi, because he didn't really care and everyone else was taken.

And I? I was Mario, of course. Competing mainly with my aunt and my step-father for final victory.

I don't remember who finally won, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter as this would prove to be the final time we would ever all play together. When my uncle left my grandmother's apartment that evening with his wife and my cousin, that would be the last time I ever saw them. Relations between our parents deteriorated even further and even my grandmother stopped visiting my lost cousin on his birthday. Later, my aunt would turn ill with the worst possible outcome, after her husband already had.

My family is now even smaller, but luckily, the bond between me and the two cousins I was closest with never vanished. One of them isn't interested in gaming anymore and the other is in a tough spot, but at least, some days, we still game on.

Hope I'm not too late, for a very important date.

Add me up in that queue!
