My magical moment was Contra 4 on SNES. I was like damn! How can graphics get any better than this?

i never been a fan of zelda, and my dad bought us a few n64 games at the time. star fox, mario kart, super mario 64 to name a few. and i loved them all to death, still do. though i am planning on playing zelda orciana of time but through emulator

Yup. After growing up with the NES, the day finally arrived when I was at a friend's house and saw him play this game. Followed by a multiplayer session of Mario Kart 64. (Well, to be honest I'm still at a point where 3D gaming kind of seems like something magical that should not be possible.)

Great memories.

Yeah, I remember that moment 3D games were so new back then and Mario 64 just pulled it off with grace. I remember watching the TV commercials and my jaw literally dropped lol. And then when Mario's head appeared saying "hello!" I was like oh my god! But nothing could beat this moment when the game actually started.

What? Zelda: Orciana of time?! What game is that? It is a follow-up from Ocarina of time?! Is it the new WiiU Zelda game?! HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?!

lol superman 64? what are you talking about?

and you should realize that even though i do critize nintendo often its not because i have this blind hate for them and blind love for sony, its because i was once a HUGE fan of nintendo, yet i feel they abandonded (not literally) me by not offering me software that would appeal to me as i grew up. i still do plan on getting a Wii somehow and playing their games, but its just not a priorety for me. i love games, and who ever makes the games i like i will like as well, it just so happens that its sony at the moment

shit! my sources are going to kill me!

Excellent OP. I also lived that moment, and my family was with me, some of my brothers who had moved on from games altogether were just awe-struck at what mario was able to do (wall-kick, jump, kick, do pirouettes).

The very first time I saw it was at a special Kiosk at the Nintendo Dome at LaRonde in Montreal. Before that my favorite kiosk moment was Super Metroid at Sears just 2 years before that.

Gaming goodness for me, thanks for sharing!

No matter how you play it, it needs to be played! I'm getting it on the 3DS when I get a 3DS :P

the game is literally filled with memorable moments at every level, but i agree the moment it actually starts is just something amazing and nothing can beat it!
