I have a few great Nintendo memories:
1. Finishing Super Mario Bros.
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 co-op play was a big deal.
3. Finishing Castlevania III the first time.
4. Getting Mario 3, my first hugely anticipated game.
5. Gameboy! Me and my sister got one each at Christmas, that was a big deal.
6. Getting Nintendo 64
7. Playing GE007 with friends for about 30+ hours in a row, and the nightmares that followed, as I couldn't dream correctly for days after.
8. Turning on Ocarina of Time for the very first time, and letting the intro play to my most anticipated game since Mario 3.
9. Wii Mania, standing out in line with dozens of others waiting for the store to open, about 17 times.
Unfortunately, not many things have stood that strongly since Wii Mania. I think the biggest one was seeing the Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer where they showed Gears, I was a gigantic Xenogears fan, but playing it I was a little disappointed that it didn't tie strongly into Xenogears, but the opportunity to explore a link is still there!
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
