Games like Super Mario World, F-Zero, A Link to the Past, and Street Fighter II really set the stage for me. Then came Turok, Shadows of the Empire, GoldenEye, and especially Mario 64 and Ocarina. I just kept going with Nintendo because it supported so many of my favorite genres, specifically shooters, platformers, and action-adventure games. Around 2008 I started thinking about getting a 360, in large part to play BioShock, Gears, and the new Banjo and BG&E games. That opened the floodgates. Since then I've bought PSOne, PS2, PS3, PSP, PSV, Xbox, X360, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO, and Jaguar.

Some of my favorite PS games include Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 1-3, Devil May Cry, Medal of Honor, Abe's Oddysee, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, etc. Some of my favorite MS games include Halo, Fable, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Ninja Gaiden, and BioShock. Favorite Sega games are Shining, Panzer Dragoon, and NiGHTS.

There are great games to be had everywhere, but overall I prefer the games available on Nintendo systems. The internal studios in Kyoto and Tokyo just have a little extra magic in their games.
