My first taste of a Nintendo console was the snes at a friends house and super Mario Kart was the game, I instantly took to toad as I thought his little mushroom head looked cool and have played as toad until this day, I missed out on the nes and n64 unfortantly, i resumed playing a Nintendo console with the gamecube, super monkey ball and Mario kart double dash was the main games we played and had tons of fun, played the odd melee to, I was considering getting a gamecube and getting rid of my ps2 but then decided to wait for the then revolution which became the wii, I love the wii and it reminded me why I love gaming it was a refreshing change for me and had some brilliant times with it and was the first console I had online, now I'm a wiiu owner and have owned a dsi and 3ds :)

I have a rich history concerning Nintendo. Safe to say I'm a fan.

More on that tonight!

That was deep man

I grew up with Duck Hunt and Mario in the NES. Then I grew up.

What can I say that I already spilled the beans about myself that has a wii-mote connection to Nintendo... ;P

If you had, you might not still be here

Funnily enough I have only been a Nintendo fan since 2006. Gaming had started to become a little stale before the Wii was released and gave us the option of something different. Previously I'd bought a Game Gear over a GameBoy, a PS1 over an N64, a PS2 over a GameCube and a PSP over a DS. The Wii was the first Nintendo console I've ever owned.

On the strength of the enjoyment I had with the Wii I've since bought a 3DS and a Wii U and haven't regretted my purchases for a second.

I'll probably get a PS4 at some point but I'll wait for it to be cut down to a sensible price and the inevitable Slim SKU.

@snowdog thats the first i've heard of a preference switch to nintendo. Pretty awesome.


about me: My brother pressured me to combine my gift with his so we could get a nes. I was so addicted that I kept getting fever dreams of The Legend of Zelda. Contra 2 player and Metroid sealed the deal for life. Nintendo Power had me convinced that every nes game was amazing so I played a bunch.

Snes was next. I had loved playing altered beast on the genesis. But wasnt enough of a gamer to wanna expand. Super Mario World had so many bright colors. This was where I found my tastes. I learned that I dont like jrpg or racing games. I like action and adventure. I wanted Sonic the Hedgehog. But I had become a blind loyalist. 1994 was a great year as I anticipated The Ultra 64 while playing Super Punch-out!! and many other great games.

The delay and change of promise to Nintendo 64 was pretty hard for me. I had ignored playstation and saturn scoffing at how pathetic they where compared to what Nintendo was building. Finally it came and all my faith was rewarded. I went to toys are us and saw the big-three's demo stations and compared them. It was pathetic, Super Mario 64 was on another stratosphere. Bitterness began brewing over time though. I was lied to about the release date, Killer instinct, and Metroid.

Suddenly, out of no where, Sega Dreamcast came to blockbuster and I rented it. I was floored! Just Sonic alone had convinved me to buy one immediately. Soul Caliber assured me it was the right decision. Then Code Veronica and so many others! But playstation loomed with its successor. I felt the tide shifting.

With Dreamcast dead and Playstation 2 the focus of my scorn. I put my faith back in Nintendo and the promise of a new power, Microsoft. 2001, for the 1st time ever I bought a system on day 1, 2 systems. I went to e3 the next year and played Nintendo's trifecta. Sunshine, Windwaker, and Prime. Along with the mighty Microsoft's Steel Battalion. Morrowind was the biggest influence on me that gen.


Now I have all systems and am writing this from my Wii U. I love my Wii U and my 3DS. Its the unigue experience that I love about Nintendo systems. Without which I might have outgrown this favorite past time. But seriously, if Metroid ever skips another generation. I will be inconsolable...

HALP! I hate Nintendo with a passion and I don't know why.

Apart form a few goes on NES, SNES and N64 the first Nintendo console i owned was GameCube. Until then i was a bit of a Sega nut and owned all their consoles (and add ons sigh). After the demise of Dreamcast i turned to Nintendo, i couldnt really get on with Sony for some reason and Nintendo like Sega were of the old skool generation so i thought i would delve into what id been missing all these years. The rest is history I am totally hooked on Nintendo, Wii U is a superb console that really appeals to me as a gamer and im looking forward to whats on the horizon.
