Favorite videogame consoles growing up.

[ S Tier ]

Nintendo DS - I had the most nostalgia for it as well as the DSi, I had a Blue bulky DS, then I had a light blue DSi (sadly the LR buttons broke), and currently I have a silver pink DS lite.

Nintendo GameCube - Another console I spent a lot of time on as a kid, mine was a silver system covered in Rock Band stickers (the old bubble TV I had was covered in them as well), and a Wavebird controller. I also had the Gameboy player disc and bottom piece to play GBA games on my TV.

Nintendo Switch - I play on this thing every other day since the day I got it, it's a first edition Switch that came bundled with BotW, sadly it's falling apart, and I plan to get a replacement for it soon.

Nintendo Wii U - The system I got was a black console which came bundled with Nintendo Land. It runs great, however the left stick has seen so much use that it may occasionally drift.

Nintendo 3DS - I loved this one quite a lot, and I love the Wii U just as much. As big of a cringe storm as Miiverse was, I still kinda miss it. The first 3DS I got was a cosmo black original. After that I got the red New Nintendo 3DS XL model, then the Majora's Mask limited edition New 3DS XL, and then the Hylian Shield 2DS XL I have now. (I also had a red original 2DS which I got with A Link Between Worlds. Kinda hated the design philosophy of it being a slab that I can't close and fit into my pocket. Like, I understand the whole 2D only angle, but why take away one of the defining characteristics of a DS in general?)

Nintendo Wii - The third childhood system I grew up along with. I have my own white model Wii system (I think it's an older model?) But I used to play on my mother's older Wii system, which was loaded with games to play, as well as the fun Wii channel games that used WiiConnect24 for online play. Sadly that one got traded in before everything on it could get transferred to the Wii U they bought right after.

PlayStation 3 - My dad owned the original huge expensive model that could play both PS1 and PS2 games on it, however the disc drive on it broke so it became impossible to play anything that wasn't digitally downloaded. The only games I really played on it as a kid were Little Big Planet, Katamari Forever, and Minecraft. Other than that I didn't have all that much nostalgia for the thing. I do have a slimmer model in storage in case I ever have a reason to dig that thing out again.

PlayStation - The only reason I got this system was so I could play Final Fantasy on it, and it was fun for quite a while, but then I just kinda got tired of fuzzy graphics so I moved onto better versions of those games.

Gameboy Advance - Here's another system I grew up with. I didn't have the original model, but I did used to play on a Gameboy Micro, which came with tons of changeable face place. I also had a Gameboy Advance SP at one point.

PlayStation Portable - there were quite a few PSP games I did enjoy, 2 of which I can't even remember the names of. But I did play Little Big Planet, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, and I loved Dissidia Final Fantasy. Other than that, didn't care all that much for the handheld.

Xbox 360 - I have an original model that's still alive due to the fact I haven't touched it in years, and the only games I have played on it are an Ace Combat Assault Horizon, and Star Wars Battlefront II. I have recently picked up the 360 exclusive Beautiful Katamari, and I hope to play that sometime soon.

Super Nintendo - Don't get me wrong, this machine pumped out lots of fantastic titles that I still need to catch up on, and I did have one with a few games as a child, but sadly I didn't really spend as much time with it as I should have, and I want to love it and everything it has to offer.

[ C Tier ]

Gameboy - I couldn't remember if it was a Gameboy or Gameboy Color I had growing up. I just remember it being a little big, but it still had color. My memory is probably messing with me. Sadly didn't have very many games to play on it, aside from Game and Watch Gallery, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, and Super Mario Land 2. Also the one I used to have had a terrible battery, the system would only stay on when plugged into the charger.

NES - I personally only had vague memories of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the original model, and I wanted to show it appreciation for everything that came after it, but I didn't really have enough games to play on it other than Mario, Duck Hunt, Punch-Out, Zelda and Burger Time. Not to mention me giving up after losing so much at some of those games. Still loved games like Zelda 2 and Mega Man tho once I looked deeper into the NES library.

Reflections: This month was way too full of shovelware Android crap. I might have to limit myself to the amount of free Android stuff I download just to make myself feel better about this challenge. For more than half of May, my game of the day was just a free Android game that I took all of four seconds to download. While that’s perfectly allowed in the rules, it still doesn’t sit right with me. If anything, I won’t change the rules, but moving forward, I’ll be actively trying my best not to have to resort to downloading an Android game unless it’s truly a last option. This month didn’t boast anything incredibly expensive or rare, but hey, that doesn’t always have to happen. I’m still satisfied with this month! Special thanks as always to Jackie.
