What was your first Nintendo console?

NES

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

Even if it doesn't power on it's probably just capacitors you can easily replace by hand with a basic soldering iron. The stuff was assembled by hand so it's all on a human scale and not completely microscopic.

Nes was my first Nintendo consoles and snes was my last. only reason I played N64 and gamecube was my best friend owned them so played on them at his place.


Well I should correct my self snes was my last tv console while I did keep up with the GB and GBA and DS and 3ds. I did like their hand haled´s.

Nintendo 3DS, I got it at the time of Pokémon X and Y release.

My first console was the Playstation 2 when it was already considered old... men, I'm feeling like a child

Gameboy/Gameboy color, Nintendo 64 and GameCube.

my first actual hardware was a Gameboy color i also gotten a GBA DS and a 2DS.

i didn't have a console until the Gamecube i did pick up a Wii later on (i did search for a model that played Gamecube games as well) and in 2020 i gotten a switch lite (was more desiring the portability and lower cost than the base switch)

Mine was the N64, though I was too young to appreciate it at the time.
My first Nintendo console in memory is the GBA.

That looks so cool! and also like it would have abysmal battery efficiency

Technically a hand-me-down original GameBoy, but my first that was mine was the N64 specifically the Episode 1 Racer edition like this one:

my precious gameboy advance sp. my bread and butter only to be forgotten by 7 year old me once the DS came out.

Super Nintendo.

And to this day, I still think it was the best home console ever. Mega Drive comes close, though... But Snes has more fighting and rpg games, which I like. A larger library, overall.

They both have their strengths and weaknesses. In particular I'd say the SNES really lags behind the Mega Drive/Genesis in multiplayer experiences. All three Streets of Rage titles are multiplayer, Final Fight 1 is not. Sonic 2 and 3 have a vs mode and player 2 can control Tails in the main game, Mario and Luigi always had to play separately and the Kongs took turns. Dashin' Desperados, Gunstar Heroes, Herzog Zwei, Bonanza Bros. Mega Bomberman was better than Super Bomberman, Micro Machines had the J-Carts for 4 player mode.

Also, at least internationally, it crushed the SNES in tactics games. Two Shining Force titles and Warsong compared to the Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, and Front Mission all just getting left in Japan.
