For me it was a combination of things. I owned a Gamecube and later purchased the gameboy player and fell in love with Metroid Prime which turned into a love for the Metroid series. I also developed a love for Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Smash Bros. before I knew what happened, I was a Nintendo fan. This led me to purchase a Wii and a NDS.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
