      Same here. Had an Atari 2600 then the NES entered my life and everything changed. Remarkable to have experienced in real time.

      Yeah, I wish I had an NES myself.

      Oh well, that depends on my mood.

      I switch between different consoles.

      Sega is my usual brand to go for.

        I am lucky enough to have an original NES with an HDMI mod. Paired with an Everdrive, it’s a thing of beauty.

    Virtual Boy, I can still see the red. Kidding though that system was really disorienting from what I remember.

      Train wreck or not, I will forever kick myself for not buying one from KayBee back when they had dozens on clearance, stored on like half of the top shelves in the store.

    Switch!

    It it my first Nintendo console. I was getting away from gaming due to lack of time, and then saw the announcement, loved the idea, got it on launch, and well it’s my favourite console now. Even when compared to PS5.

    New 3DS. Perfect portable size, enormous library (with DS backwards compatibility), great games that are designed for short burts of time, fantastic 3d effect. Bottom screen used for interactive UI elements worked like a charm IMO.

    I love the Nintendo DS. Slips right into your pocket, can play anywhere, a huge catalog of games, easy to add an R4 to it. It can even play GBA games!

    Nintendo DS. Loved how it felt in my hands.

    The DS Lite was too sharp and felt fragile. The 3DS was a gimmick, and the 2DS was the best 3DS version, but lacking folding hurt how portable it was. It never felt right having the screens exposed in my pocket. Losing GBA compatibility was also a deal breaker.

    The OG DS was a perfect evolution of the GBA and I will take both of mine to my grave.

      the 2DS was the best 3DS version, but lacking folding hurt how portable it was

      They made the 2DS XL which folded.

      I disagree completely about the 3D. I love it! It enhanced so many games, and many games included the 3D effect in the puzzles themselves, like in Mario 3D Land. And it was so much fun in A Link Between Worlds to make scary jumps down dozens of feet to land on a small platform. Especially the tower of Hera and the path to the ore mine.

      However, the 3D effext added to games like Shovel Knight were not impressive, and I would turn it way down or off altogether.
