My kids will be given the gift that I was. I grew up in the 2000's (I'm 20 now) so my "childhood" should have been the N64 and the Gamecube. However, I was lucky enough to instead have grown with the NES, SNES, and then N64. Because of that, I grew up with the games that made gaming what it is like those who were there from basically the beginning. My first game was super mario bros for the NES in an era where Mario 64 was changing gaming, and I learned first hang how mind blowing that was. I played Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros. 3 and Excite Bike and Elevater Madness. I played Mega Man X (oh, and Mega Man 4) and A Link to the Past (And The Legend of Zelda) and Donkey Kong Country as if they were new. I got to play Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time with all that bit history and it made them special experiences. I don't care if I have kids in the year 2050. Their first system will be the NES. (Or at least the Virtual Console)
