I had a NES. Never had a Nintendo console since, until the Wii. The SNES was not available in Poland, N64's games used to cost around a third of the average monthly wage in a my country, GCN looked so ridiculous with that purpule colour and rainbow controller, that I'd have to hide it when my friends would come over, not to become the laughting stock in the class, so it was out of the question.
I got the Wii cause I wanted to catch up on the GCN games and was really excited about playing FPS games with motion cotrolls. I was really hoping Wii would get many core games, just like the GCN... Yeah... Hopes... Now I'm not getting a Wii U until it drops to $150. Cause I have no hopes.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
