19. I got my first Nintendo console 3 weeks before joining this site. Previous 10 years were all Sony, and I've no regrets with that.

That's very interesting. I was actually with Nintendo growing up, and I begged my father for a N64 not knowing anything about the Playstation at the time. I wasn't attached to Nintendo or anything - I just wanted the console all my friends were getting. Instead he bought me a PS1. Of course I wasn't angry since it was new and interesting, and the name Playstation instantly resonated with me well. I loved the system so much that I decided to stick with the brand. No regrets at all. In fact, I've spent my own money on Playstation systems while the Nintendo consoles (along with the first Xbox and Dreamcast) were gifts for me. The Wii U will be the first Nintendo console I buy with my own money since I'm a Smash Bros. and Zelda freak.

Yeah, my first system was a PS1, and the original Spyro was my first game. Followed closely by Crash and Tomb Raider. My, what great titles those three were. Then I just went through all the other classics, like FF, Gran Turismo etc.
To be honest, I'd never even heard of Zelda until I was 14, when I visited a friend and played Wind Waker with him. What fun!

I have very fond memories of Crash and Spyro growing up. I intend to get them on the Vita as soon as they are available. Initially I didn't have a memory card, so that caused me to play Spyro and Crash consistently in order to beat them, respectively. I did enjoy the Nintendo counterparts each generation up until this gen. I didn't even bother with the Wii, but I loved the N64 and Gamecube. The N64 was my de facto mp system back in the day. It had great mp titles for all to enjoy and I am one of the few who didn't take issue with the controller. The GC was an excellent system for me as well. Unlike my Xbox, which I only had 2 or 3 reasons to play (Ninja Gaiden, Otogi and Ninja Gaiden Black), the GC had a plethora of great titles for me to enjoy and it provided me with superior multiplats. I played 007 Agent Under Fire on both the PS2 and GC, and the latter was vastly superior when you compare them (in terms of visuals, performance and AI). But the PS2 just kept pumping original titles month after month - it could not be stopped. Every two weeks I had a new PS2 game in high school, much to the dismay of my friends who played exclusively on the GC and Xbox.
My enthusiasm for Nintendo changed with the Wii. Somebody bought one for me, and to this day it's probably in some corner of my mom's house back in Trinidad. The Wii U is more powerful than the HD twins, albeit not by much, but that's more than enough for me. I am still impressed with the PS3's offerings so I'll welcome the Wii U, and the controller is tolerable when compared to the wii mote (which I despite).
