What is your Second Nintendo Console? ~ Cuál es tu Segunda Consola de Nintendo?

The GB color was my second Nintendo device but if you're being specific to console, then it would be the N64.

The Nintendo 64 circa Christmas 1997. I recieved Diddy Kong Racing as my first game, which I wouldn't come to fully appreciate until much later in life. While I was ecstatic to finally have the mythical machine that Christmas, I remember being a tiny bit disappointed I didn't get Mario or Killer Instinct instead.

I almost got a GB Color for a birthday with Pokemon when I was a kid. My mom was all ready to buy it when I saw the Mega Man Legends port for the N64 sitting on the Walmart shelf. I had zero clue that was even a thing and I'm a huge Mega Man fan so I didn't think about it for more than a second. Looking back I sometimes regret not getting that GameBoy but I ended up absolutely loving that game so I think I made the right choice back then. I must have beat Mega Man 64 over 50 times. I've beaten whopping 2 Pokemon games since then.

Not counting hand-me-down systems (as my father gifted me his GBC, NES and Sega Genesis systems), I consider the second console to call my own to be a Wii. The first was a DS Lite.

I mostly have fond memories of Mario Galaxy, Dragonball BT2/BT3, Kirby RTDL, and Mario Kart Wii.

Learning that the Wii had GameCube backwards compatibility was also a huge deal, as it led to my love of the 6th console gen - being introduced to Pokémon XD, Mario Sunshine, and Metroid Prime were big games I played on that system through BC, to name a few.

But you owned and enjoyed one of Nintendo's most iconic 7th Generation console.
 
The Gamecube, and the first one was a Snes (the only two Nintendo consoles I've ever had, really). The Cube eventually stop working, then I gave it to a friend.

But what matters is that you played the GameCube in those times as it happened to me in the year 2007-10 out there.

Well... Lol. Actually, let's say I am too young to have played GameCube in its heyday.

Every console I have/had was bought in this fashion. That's what happens when you were not around when the consoles you like were ;)

I Understand You Friend.
 
Game Boy or SNES. One of them since the SNES was basically gifted but the original one I had was thrown away without ever knowing it. I was so annoyed but thank god I got mine a decade and half after...

Still, both Nintendo consoles are great.
 
My 2nd was the Gameboy. My best worst Christmas gift. I quickly realized if someone at school stole it, my mom was gonna raise hell at the school, then at me!

As a result, I never ended up playing it that much. I wasn't really allowed to play it at home, or never got much chance to. :/ the only time I got to play games was at my grandparents' on weekends, and I would only play nes.

Thank you for telling the story with the Game Boy and a shame that they didn't give you much freedom to want to play the Game Boy.
 
My first was the Wii which I believe replaced the PS2 that I only had for like a day because I couldn't get used to the controller when I was young, then we ended up selling the Wii for the Xbox 360, which turned to the XB1 and then PC.

Then after that I bought a Switch and loved it despite the few games I had for it, then I sold the Switch to get a Steam Deck.

I'm planning to buy a Japanese Switch 1 when I go over there for university. I'm really not a fan of the Switch 2 but the first one is essentially perfect, its just the downside that it's only Switch games so naturally the Deck is just an improved Switch.
 
I'm not sure what the topic defines as "consoles"...I was going to mention our SNES but since people have been including Nintendo handhelds, then I guess the NES wasn't our first Nintendo thing. Our second Nintendo thing we got was a game and watch unit called Judge. The first one is the classic Fire.

You can actually play it in your browser here

And you can play a ton of those classic old handhelds here...

Before the Famicom came out, there was already an initial Nintendo boom in my country. Mainly, the popularity of the Game and Watch units. I remember my brother and I bringing our game and watch (Fire) to school and our classmates went crazy over it. This was long before cell phones and even videogames became available to the general public and since I live in a 3rd world country, this was even more of a novelty. It became so popular, the game and watches became viral, stores started stocking it widely, and became such a fad all over the city (I'm not sure about the provinces) that even our local comedy tv shows were making jokes and skits about it (The Popeye one became the most popular Game and Watch sold here.) And my brother and I speculated that we were some of the biggest instigators of the fad since we were the the first ones as far as we can tell, to show a game and watch unit in public. (Besides the store we got it from originally)
