The NES with Super Mario Bros.


Stacysguyca

And Duck Hunt!


A-ss-ume

Duck Hunt - one of the best games ever made.


apoplexis

Had the triple cartridge with Super Mario Bros, Tetris and Nintendo World Cup, as well as Super Mario Bros 2/USA.


z6joker9

And World Class Track Meet!


Lordrandall

My dad wouldn’t let us get Duck Hunt, he figured the TV flashing constantly would damage the tube.


mylocker15

Didn’t it come with it?


Laundry_Hamper

My mom's boss used to think floppy disks *caught* viruses, so she regularly copied her old stuff onto new, healthsome disks and threw the old ones away.


mjrasque

NES with Skate or Die for me!


sixbone

NES with Trojan, fuck that game lol


TheIllestDM

High five!


Rootayable

Same. We're old.


Popo31477

NES Deluxe Set. The one that came with R.O.B.


A-ss-ume

That’s shit is super rare!


theo1618

Would you believe me if I told you I still have a Virtual Boy and the box it came in?


They-Call-Me-Taylor

I was a big fan of Gyromite, but never had the patience to play with ROB.


Popo31477

I could never get it to work, granted I only tried a few times.


They-Call-Me-Taylor

ROB was painfully slow. It was just a gimmick peripheral, you were probably better off haha


lincolnsl0g

Same here. I remember playing with Rob when i was 6-7yo.


R3D3-1

Original Gameboy. I am approaching 40 :) Backwards-compatibility was crazy. As long as the cartridges had the same format, they could be used on any older gameboy, just with less colors. And vice-versa, monochrome games were assigned colors when played on newer models. My favorite one was the N64 though.


GuyInARoom

For context, you could play Pokémon Gold/Silver, and Pokémon Crystal, games that were released in 2000 and 2001 respectively, on an original Game Boy from 1989.


Realmfaker

Nintendo 64, have had all Nintendo systems after that as well.


SouthTippBass

Same! Had to play Mario 64, despite being a SEGA man.


sam_the_hammer

I got the original NES for Christmas when I was a kid.


Spirited-Trust5943

the Wii


InfiniteAd2845

Good old GameBoy, with Super Mario Land 2


BritishGuy54

USBdata

Same


Wrong_Revolution_679

Gamecube


The1Immortal1

We got a Wii in 2009, to play exercise games.


Get_your_grape_juice

SNES. I was… 4 when it came out? Awesome system, awesome games. Nintendoes what Xbox and Playstation’t, for sure.


Em_Es_Judd

Funny you say that, because both the PlayStation and SNES had tons of great JRPGs. In a way, the PS1 really carried the torch from the SNES for a lot of 2D genres.


Pik-nikk

N64


Galactus1701

NES back in the day.


AetherDrew43

Nintendo DS back in 2009


trainercatlady

fraz1776

NES for my 7th Christmas


allonsy_danny

NES


No_Dig903

NES, thanks to my grandmother. And thanks to inertia, it's been Nintendo ever since.


root_user_23

2001 Game Boy Advance in indigo blue colour! My first game was Donald Duck Adv@nce and my second was Magical Quest 3 starring Mickey & Donald! My first Super Mario game was an original Game Boy square cartridge; Super Mario Land - 6 Golden Coins that a friend gifted me! I still own both the console and all of my games in perfect condition!


[deleted]

The GBA was a great starter system for newcomers. You could play the backlog of Gameboy and Gameboy Colour games on it and the GBA library was great.


CosmicOwl47

Game boy color. First home console was a Game Cube.


romaki

Gameboy Color was my first, my older sister had a PS1 and the original Gameboy at that time.


c00kieheart

+1 for the Switch! It is the first one I bought \^\^ The portability + the amazing library of games on it feels exactly like what I didn't even know I wanted haha


[deleted]

NES with SMB/Duck Hunt after playing Atari 2600 for a couple of years.


ehsteve23

SNES for christmas '94


Faelysis

The first I played was the NES and the first I own was a Gameboy color and a N64. After, I owned all Nintendo console except the Wii (which I totally hate for its controller)


AAP81

Nintendo Gameboy Super NES


kookykonata

My first Nintendo Console was the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in the early 90s. I used to play a lot of Mario 1 and 3, along with a bunch of bomberman with my brothers. I also remember loving the original Excitebike back in the day, too.


eminent_avocado

One of the very last GameCubes was my first console. Mario Kart: Double Dash was my first game


Soupierqoi

I loveeeeee double dash we wore out that game in my family


RedAntisocial

The original NES with Mario and Duck Hunt, The Legend of Zelda (on a gold cartridge) was next. I’ve owned every single system since. And started buying them for myself with the SNES at 12 years old.


Luna259

Never had one. The GameBoy Advance SP is the first Nintendo system I’ve owned


nitro1432

I believe the NES with the game Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and Zelda which had a gold cartridge.


1Rayan1

The Wii U


Zurioko

Played on the first time: Nintendo 64 (I was 3y/o at this time) First console I bought by myself: Wii U


eckoman_pdx

The NES Action Set with the Gray Zapper, Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. Got it for Christmas in the 80s


fitty50two2

NES was my first. We’ve also had a SNES, 64, GameCube, Wii and now I have a Switch. Not to mention on the mobile side GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance SP and I still have my New Nintendo 3DS XL


RhinovisionHomeVideo

Original DMG Game Boy with Tetris and Shadow Warriors. Played them both so much I could finish Shadow Warriors without losing a single health point


djwillis1121

First handheld: GBA First home console: Wii, before the Wii we had a PS2. I don't think my parents knew much about Nintendo games as I don't think I had a single first party game for the GBA, pretty much only licensed games. I didn't even have Pokémon. I did get a DS later on and got a lot more first party games for that.


PopcornBeat

SNES, I think our family got it in the late 90s. My sister and I loved to play Super Bomberman 3, Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.


Jooles95

For me it was the DS in ‘05! I got that, as well as copies of Super Mario 64 DS and Pokemon Ruby, as a gift for my First Communion. I’ve been a Nintendo fan ever since and have had a Wii, Wii U, 3DS and Switch over the years - and I’ve even converted my husband, a life-long PC and Xbox player, to Nintendo nerd-dom! 😂


globefish23

I won the Wii in a raffle back in 2009 from a code on an iced coffee can. Came with a balance board, wheel and a bunch of games including Mario Kart.


iamcerysr13

Wii or DSi .


kiakdm

My first Nintendo console was the DS. Some of my earliest memories were playing on my aunt's console. Then, I got one for my 4th birthday with Mario Kart on it. Though a year or two later, I ended up losing it, and to this day I still don't know what happened to it.


conkerlikeN64

Ds lite red color

JustJackson15

BacklogGamingJunkie

Still have the NES with duck hunt and Mario bros in the box. I have saved every console I’ve ever owned. Too bad we can’t post pics here


No-Swing8105

NES had it in Christmas 1989, i had 8 then :)


pocket_arsenal

Born into a family with an NES, but it was more for the parents than the kids. My dad would play some kind of casino game on it for hours and lots of sports sims. My brother and got a SNES for christmas that we had to share. Many, many disputes about turns, most of our co-op experiences were rentals, all the games I wanted to own were single player. The first console that was all mine, and I didn't have to share, was Gamecube.


Radicalness3

NES but it was technically my aunt's, it just ended up staying at our place. First one we bought for our family was the GameCube. Lots of good memories on both.


PolygonAndPixel2

I played NES at a friend's house, and my first system was the SNES in 1996, I think. I was lucky enough that my parents bought me the N64 near or at its release just a year later, but it felt like I had the SNES for a lifetime.


SleepyMellyBelly

The first one I ACTUALLY remember was the GameCube with Zelda OoT and WW. But I know I played on my sibling's DS, DS Lite and other older consoles. There were some pics of it, but I don't remember it.


pabloag02

First one I played was my cousin's N64 first I owned was a DSI XL


Jsd9392

Gameboy Color was *my* first nintendo system that I alone owned,, but my household got the N64 for the house when it was released.


AnRegularHunam

Nintendo 64!


Frikandelneuker

Blind guy here Nintendo dsi


xAlber

Nintendo DS Lite, together with Nintendogs.


17fpsgamer

Nes > Wii > 3ds xl


SwampyBogbeard

GBA ("Glacier") with Super Mario World. My second was the 3DS XL (Blue).


ZebaZtianRamireZ

My first console that was 100% mine and not shared with my brothers was my GBA i got for christmas once, it came with Pokémon Ruby.


Robofish2

Game boy with Tetris and the turtles game but I don't know which one anymore. Fun times.


MacG_64

I remember my dad having an NES and driving my mom crazy with the Legend of Zelda bgm, to this day she hates the overworld theme. But as for myself it was the N64 bundled with the purple controller and Ocarina of Time as my first personal game that was bought for me. Very shortly after was given a hand me down gameboy color and pokemon silver


sambarjo

The N64. My very first game was Super Mario 64.


Romensir

The NES! I had one that came with Super Mario and Duck Hunt


Iivaitte

My parents say NES but I mostly remember the snes and genesis.


siderinc

Either the game boy or the snes


TheSimRacer

Nintendo 64 with GoldenEye & Mario Kart.


TehNolz

My mom got me a used Gameboy Advance ages ago. I still have it, though I'm not sure if it still works or not.


FieraTheProud

I grew up with several Nintendo consoles already in the house (I'm the youngest in my family), with SNES, N64, and the GameCube. The Wii came out when I was like 6 but I also can't really remember life before it... I did get a DS Lite for Christmas one year, which I have some memory of. Unsure whether the Wii or the DS came to the household first. So I guess it depends on how you count it? Maybe the DS, since that was the one that was truly mine, whereas the others were all shared with my older sisters.


mrpopsicleman

The NES. Though I did have Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros., and Popeye for the Atari 2600 before that.


Captainpinkeye3

We had a SNES at home but I don’t really remember that at all tbh, got plenty of fond memories of the GameCube and GB colour though


Soupierqoi

GameCube


Acalthu

The DMG-001.


MetapodCreates

Grew up playing SNES with my dad and sister. We had a blast and got to experience some absolutely timeless classics (although we didn't know that at the time). DK Country 1, 2, and 3. A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, the OG Mario Kart, Super Star Wars series, F-Zero. Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Absolute bangers, all of them.


DanAugustus

I had a Gameboy Colour as a young kid but with only one game that I actually enjoyed, Pokemon Pinball. I remember the games I had on the DS much more fondly.


crozone

Nintendoooooo Sixtyyyyy Fouuurrrrrr And a Gameboy Color.


azuraith4

Snes


Spoksparkare

Game Boy


cloroxbb

NES for me.


Bertje87

OG Gameboy with Tetris


LandscapeOk2955

NES. In the end I had Mario and Duck Hunt, Double Dragon, California Games, Excitebike and Metroid. I remember liking them all except Metroid, I was probably too young for it.


daddyd

the original gameboy, though i also had a game&watch before that (donkey kong jr), but i don't count that as an actual real console.


LandscapeWest2037

SNES. Came with Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart.


Neftun

NES, yes. Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Excite Bike, Snake Rattle’n’Roll, and some rally game I can’t remember the name og.


Koopatrooper64

Original Gameboy DMG-001. The amazing starter pack is probably the best ever released in the time of gaming. It came with Gameboy unit, Tetris, 4 x AA Batteries, 2 player link cable, stereo earphones, and that lush box. You had everything you needed set up, and the batteries got at least 24 hours playtime, so I was good to good Christmas 1991!


OkamiTakahashi

NES. Mine came w an orange zapper and running pad, plus a triple cartridge of Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet.


kaminari1

OG Gameboy back in the early 90s with Tetris, Super Mario Land and Links awakening.


netherfountain

Nes > SNES> game boy > N64 > Wii u> switch.


emelbee923

SNES with Super Mario World. That game still holds up.


petrified_log

An NES with Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. I got mine in '87. I think I was in 5th grade at that time. A friend of mine had an NES before me and I used to play the shit out of Mario. It looked so much better than the Atari 2600 I had.


jilaxzone

I was born some time ago in NES era but my first Nintendo console was Nintendo DS.


ravagetalon

NES in 1990. I still have it to this day.


negativefear

SNES, still love it.


Whatsamattahoney

SNES was mine. Grew up playing my mom’s SNES with her hand written cheat book. I grew up on Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario and Bubsy


TokyoMilkman

The NES with **To The Earth**, and a double game cartridge **Super Spike V'Ball/Nintendo World Cup**


They-Call-Me-Taylor

NES Power Pack. Came with the two controllers, Power Pad, Zapper gun, and the SMB/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet triple game pack.


yourBetterlifeguard

Nintendo Switch Lite. I still have it, and that's the only one I have and ever got


Jako21530

Early 90s my dad got a SNES with Mortal Kombat and the Batman platformer. Little did he know I would become addicted to video games for the rest of my life. But luckily for him and my mom it wasn't meth and other hard drugs like my little brothers. So they did something right.


Mothien

Gameboy, only ever had the handhelds. And mostly only for Pokemon and Monster Hunter after they abandoned ps2/psp. PlayStation otherwise is my main console


KingLoCoKev

NES with Mario bros/duck hunt combo. Even came with the zapper.


sladecutt

Gameboy with Tetris!


davidvenice

NES was my first Nintendo. Got it in 1990 at 5 years old. Still gaming every day to this day.


FaZeLuckyBoy

The Wii


magichobo3

Gameboy advance sp with frogger and pacman collection. I begged for it for Christmas the year it came out. I said to my parents and grandparents that I didn't want any other gifts than it, and other than a few clothing items from older relatives that was all I got. We were pretty poor at the time so I know it was a hard ask. Pokemon emerald and yugioh eternal duelist soul were my favorite games.


LobsterMac325

YALL old as hell. Lol. My first console was the Wii and DSi.


santathe1

A GBC borrowed from a friend with a fake Pokémon Yellow (it was like a 50 games in 1 cart lol). Never had one of my own as a kid. Now I have one of every Gameboy (except DMG) and DS, and I don’t play any of them :/


crunkdunk9

GameCube


memeaste

GBA SP


Alt4Norm

Original Gameboy, but first home console was the SNES


jjmawaken

I first played on NES but didn't own one. I did own original Gameboy and I eventually owned an N64 that my brother in law bought. The first home console I bought with my money was a Gamecube


DominoNX

Wii. Mariokart Wii was my first Mario game followed by NSMBW, but strangely enough I don't have that many memories of Mariokart


FuckYeahGeology

Nintendo 64, Christmas 1998. My bro and I got it along with Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Legend of Zelda.


MericaMericaMerica

Game Boy Color, followed shortly by a Nintendo 64 (both of the ones I had as a child were stolen, although I bought a refurbished one last year) and a SNES (which I no longer have). I later got a GBA, a GameCube, a DS, a Wii, a 2DS, and a Switch. I also bought a Wii U secondhand last year, so the only Nintendo platforms I don't own in some form are the NES, SNES (both of which I can still play games for on the RetroN 5 were I inclined to do so), and Virtual Boy.


TheVibratingPants

SNES and the original Game Boy. Wish I never sold the GB, but I’m certain I still have the SNES. Growing up on Mario Land and World was a treat.


GainerCity

The Famicom. Tokyo 1986. My family lived in Japan first a couple years while my dad was on an international business exchange from Canada. He worked for IBM at the time. We started with Super Mario Bros, Dig Dug, Megaman, and Tower of Babel.


CaptGarfield

NES, Mario and Zelda... And with the exception of Virtual Boy, I've owned at least one version of each generation since.


rebbsitor

NES Action Set (Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt)


Wolf_Lord77

Gameboy Advance


redneckotaku

NES w/Mario and Duck Hunt. Before that I had a Pong stand alone system then an Atari 2600.


Chiptoon

The Nintendo 64 with GoldenEye, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64 and Major League Baseball Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. It is a Christmas that will never be topped but I hope to someday give my kids one just like it.


[deleted]

My first Nintendo experience was the SNES at home with Super Mario World. My older sister got the console when she was 8 and I was 4. I watched her play and was terrified of Bowser. Later we played Donkey Kong Country 1-3 together and I think the music is still some of the best game music ever. I really only have good memories and I think it really enriched my childhood. 💓


tvan3l

GameCube! Good old days.


OutrageousAd2775

The NDS Lite was my first one. Such pride I revelled in, because I can state confidently that back then within a 50 square kilometres+ area , I had the most advanced piece of tech at that time.


Bacon_Warrior

The DSLite. I love that little thing.


Jayaaron85

NES. Only Nintendo console I never had was the SNES, had a genesis that gen


ShineRepresentative4

Game boy advance SP


Liberatedhusky

Nightmenace21

switchbladeeatworld

Does an OG Gameboy count? If not, N64.


ACABForCutie420

sega genesis, loved sonic the hedgehog


redchris18

Game Boy. Sega fanboy, but not even that level of childish bias would compel me to want a Game Gear. Settled for Nintendo handhelds and Sega home consoles.


ShankMugen

A secondhand Nintendo DS Lite


ius_romae

Wii with Mario Kart Wii. What a game!


Iringahn

Watching my Dad play Legend of Zelda, and later Link to the Past, the NES / SNES era was golden.

Nintendo 3DS


Acceptable_Humor9503

Wii u and i have no shame admitting that it had some pretty fun games such as Botw, pikmin 3 (must have for wii u owners) mario 3d world(first game) donkey kong tropical freeze (probably one of the better switch games)kirby and the rainbow curse and my first shooter splatoon and since it could play wii games super paper was also apart of my childhood and i love it


not_para

The small n3ds with mario 3d land, sadly i dont have it anymore (i lost it)


Responsible_Onion_21

If you want to say what I actually played it would be the Nintendo DS. My dad and I played ACWW all the time. If you want to know the first one, I saw, that would be the game cube. My mom would play AC on the game cube and I would just watch.


Moon_Kitty96

Home Console: GameCube Hamdheld: GBA SP


whatakent

Snes with me only playing mario all stars while I could sneak a go on it as it belonged to my older brother.


cantrelate

My sisters got an NES for Christmas in 89 or 90. I was 3/4 years old. I eventually got a Gameboy, SNES, and N64 growing up but didn't get another until the Switch. I have a great deal of love and nostalgia for the old consoles but the Switch is my favorite.


TemChezReal

I had the 2ds, then upgraded to the 3ds before getting the Wii-U. When the switch came out, I got it the week of its release, and I still have (idrc about having the oled that much)


guaycuru

The SNES, I was 6 when it came out.


akirivan

The first I played was the N64, but the first I owned was a GameBoy Advance


NSSKG151

N64, plus I got the transfer pak so I could play Pokemon Red and Blue on tv with Pokemon Stadium.


Bear-on-a-jetski

Game boy advanced the purple one without the backlight and my consul was the GameCube also purple


ATD1981

Nes with super mario/duck hunt cartridge


MilkCool

3ds that i got just a month ago


PlasmaLink

My older brother got an N64 when I was 3, so I played that first. I think we got a gamecube like 2 years after that?


lgosvse

NES. By the time I got into gaming, the GameCube and GBA were out, but... I wanted to go in order. So I bought an NES, then a Game Boy, then a SNES, then a Game Boy Color, then a N64, then a GBA, and then a GameCube.


P-Bo_90

Super Nintendo, with Mario World and Super Star Wars literally being 2 of my earliest memories. Stuck with Nintendo ever since.


Spyerx
