WELCOME TO MY NINTENDO SHRINE! (WIP)

MY NINTENDO CONSOLES!

GAMECUBE

I got my Gamecube as a hand-me-down from my older sister, and while I definitely didn't play it as much as my other consoles, it's still super special to me. We had a standard purple Gamecube and 1 (one) official controller. The other was a crappy MadCatz one. I vividly remember it had a button that would stop the game and make it play a really obnoxious screeching noise... still no clue what was up with that.

For whatever reason, my Gamecube never had a memory card, so I never got to save any games and as such never got far in any of them. I really only remember playing a handful of games, mostly Mario Kart: Double Dash and the bonus demo disk it came with. I also played some Pac-Man World Luigi's Mansion (though I always got scared and turned off the TV as soon as the first ghost showed up.

I really wish I had gotten to play some more games on it, but my older sister took it to a game night with her youth group and it was never seen again... sigh. I hope to buy one of my own one day, but they can be so expensive now that it's hit the nostalgia market. My girlfriend has one I've messed around with a few times though. :)

WII

"You either had a Wii or your parents were a happy couple" WRONG!!!!!! I GOT BOTH!!!!

My Wii was also a hand-me-down from my older sister, but I have lots more memories with it than the Gamecube. I don't actually... remember most of the memories though I can't lie. Still, I can't even tell you how many hours I spent playing the same scratched disks and random demos over and over and over. That Shop Channel download screen is ingrained in my mind forever.

Weirdly enough, we never had Mario Kart Wii. I just played a LOT of Wii Fit and Wii Sports and some random demos I'd download from the eShop. I remember playing the demos of Pokemon Rumble, Chick Chick Boom, and 2 Fast 4 Gnomez countless times. The balance minigames were always a favorite of mine in Wii Fit, especially the ski slope jumping one. My whole family would be getting in on that bro!!! I also really liked bowling (ofc) in Wii Sports, but I am a BEAST in the boxing game. Don't even play with me.

Another tragic fate... the disk drive of our Wii started sounding really weird and eventually broke so we sadly had to get rid of our Wii. :( I'm not too sad about this one though because it was eventually replaced with a Wii U so I got the Wii backwards compatibility in the end anyway.

3DS

THIS is where a lot of my memories are. I got my 3DS when I was fairly young, I think a few years after it released?? It was just a standard model, which is the one I still own today. It's kinda small and I'd love to get a New 2DS but that's also annoying to get now and mine still works fine so whatever. If it's not broken don't fix it.

The 3DS was probably my main console through childhood, especially since it was portable so I could bring it with me on road trips and such. I even snuck it to school and church a few times to keep me busy heh. I feel like I played just a lot of Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Life as a kid, and sometimes Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (which I eventually lost?? I have no clue where that cartridge went).
