What game made you a Nintendo fan, and what was it about it?

[AJNShelton]

Well, if we can go through our personal history on when, why and how Nintendo reached our heart, I think we need to have several approaches regarding our, at the time, knowledge of video games, how often we would play it (or still play it today), and other related stuff I guess.

For my perspective, and my personal story, my real first video game was actually Super Mario Bros, on an hacked chinese console my parents bought in Turkey and which was commonly called "atari" (oddly enough). We had 1 cartridge full of games, but the most pleasant game was indeed Super Mario Bros, so we would spend hours to play it. (Contra was aslo fine tho, we would play it with my brother).

And then, I saw several times my cousins playing Super Mario All Stars on their SNES (which I didn't own) and then Super Mario 64 (didn't own either), but I had a Game Boy (with my sole cartridge being Pokémon Blue). Got a refurbished PlayStation once the PS2 was released, played essentially the Demo 1 disc which was in it (at that time, games were really expensive and my parents wouldn't want to spend money on video games). But I had a PC, and that's when I discovered the emulation world, and would play several Nintendo 64 games on my pc (not an easy task).

And until 2014, I never had the opportunity to actually own a console (mostly played on a low-end PC), and that's when I bought a PS3 (to play GTA V) and then a Wii Mini with Super Mario Galaxy 2 (one of the best games I've ever played).

So basically, that's when I started to specifically choose Nintendo consoles and games over everything else, cause it reminds me my childhood and I still think playing on a low-end Nintendo Console is always way more pleasant than playing on a huge beefed-up gaming console.

And my dearest apologies for any mistake I possibly made while I was writing my post.
