What was your first Nintendo console?

[KenShjIN]

A brand new Nintendo 64 bundle with Episode 1 Racer

 

[PhrawzT]

Game & Watch, followed by the NES the next year.

If a handheld counts, the Game Boy in 1989. I wasn't allowed to have an NES as a kid but later traded some Star Wars figures to a friend for his NES in 1996.

Weirdly enough, the Famicom. I purchased an american NES waaaay later on my life.

In early 90s, I remember Snes before release was called Super Famicom in the West too. Among friends discussions we used that name. Cooler name than just Super Nintendo

So, yeah... this thread was made a bunch of times already, but if we were to merge every duplicated thread on the board, we would be here til next year.

Mine was the Famicom, back in 1994.

I understand Waffles but I also made a thread like that. And I only posted on 28/May/25 which came out much earlier.

PS3 & 3DS are my oldest surviving consoles. Since 2011 & 2013 respectively

My PS3 is starting to give out, unfortunately.

Fuck yeah, a Famiclone.

They were very popular in my country at that time, under different names:
Nasa, Terminator, Nipondo....

They were quite common here, in Chile and Latin America in general, it was easier to find clones than real ones here... They often came with multicarts full of bootlegs.

Original GameBoy, I remember asking for it back in 1997 for Christmas and even though the Pocket was available by then I still wanted the original model for some reason.

 

[Turbo Kid]

NES

I bet if I tried to fire it up it would still work too. Old stuff were built to last.
