I'll just list the consoles I had throughout my life.

1999-2000 : SNES, I remember that my mom was a freak at Super Mario World. I played with her a few years later and she was still quite skilled.
2001-2002 : PS2. The first home console. We, the kids, were playing with. FFX was one of the game I remember fondly.
2003-2007 : Got my first handheld console which was the GBA then a year later I was gifted with a GBA SP.(I lost my previous one)
2010-2011 : My mother buys me another GBA in a pawn shop with Mario Tennis Power. My addiction to tennis had begun.
2010-2014 : My brother got himself a Xbox360 for it's birthday, but we were sharing it a lot. We were playing a lot of fps shooter during those years.
2014 : Bought myself a DS Lite and with it, Pokémon SoulSilver and Black 2. I had an awesome time with both games but then I goofed and sold them both to buy myself a tennis game ...

2016-Present : With the incomes coming from my summer jobs, I could easily acquire myself a 3DS, WiiU and then Switch most recently. It's also the true start of my "hardcore gamer" phase.

I had one of those too!

Whew so um yeah guess i spent a lot of money on this shit.

I started off playing video games once I was old enough to be able to pick up a controller, and quickly developed an interest in them. My earliest gaming experiences were therefore in the mid 80s, maybe '84. I started off on old arcade games, my father's Commodore 64, and the Intellivision, which was a hand-me-down from my father. But what really pushed me towards being a hardcore gamer was Nintendo. I saw an NES for the first time over at a friend's house in maybe '87 or early '88, and was absolutely blown away with what I saw. Super Mario Bros. was just so far beyond anything I ever saw before in terms of game design. I had to have one, and on Christmas Day of 1988, I got my wish. I woke up that morning, opened up my NES, and proceeded to have the best Christmas ever, playing Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt (part of the combo cart with SMB), Mega Man, and Jaws. After that, I was hooked. I was a hardcore Nintendo fan. I got a subscription to Nintendo Power. I had an SMB lunch box. I ate Nintendo cereal. I even watched the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and Captain N the Game Master (in retrospect, not a very good show). It was what made me the gamer I am today.
