SNES: Can't remember really being blown away. I think I just enjoyed the games without taking too much in. Looking back now though, the consistency in quality of Nintendo's games is very impressive.
N64 / PS1: The first time I used a joystick and controlled Mario with such precision in those big environments in Super Mario 64 was amazing. I also remember being impressed by the detailed environments Capcom created with pre rendered backdrops Resident Evil 2, 3 and Dino Crisis 2.
GC / PS2 / DC: Shenmue blew my mind. The level of immersion was incredible. Being able to spend your day doing normal stuff and not furthering the storyline was great.
Wii: Motion controls with Wii Sports was a very special moment. Also, Super Mario Galaxy was sublime. First time I played it I was up until 4am, jaw on the floor.
Wii U: Assassin's Creed 3 was my first HD experience (Nintendo only gamer in the previous gen), and that was a real eye opener.
