hi guys! after a looonnnngggggg 12 years, i've finally become a nintendo user once again. yup, just bought a NDSL. my last nintendo console was super nintendo, haha.

after hearing so many ppl saying how fun NDSL is, just cant resist anymore and got myself one yesterday . so far only got 1 game, nintendogs. since i cant have a real pet here (landlord doesnt allow), i might as well get a virtual pet, lol.

congratulations and welcome to the family of Wii and NDS~

lol. I was once like threadstarter.. Last Nintendo console was the Super Nintendo. Had Chrono Trigger, Mario All-Stars, Contra 3, Street Fighter II Turbo, DBZ:II..

Haih, Nintendo, not to mention Micro-Genius(NES clone) stays with you

I LOVED my Micro Genius.

*humming Silkworm theme

tyty

yup, those were the good old days

GRATZ!!! and welcome to the club, buddy!!!

I was like you... before I owned my NDSL... the last console I owned was NES. It was nearly 2 decades ago...

I know exactly how you feel!




btw, in case you don't know... we have a monthly gathering. you can find out more at The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up... feel free to join us!

congrats.... i never did get a chance to own those.. but I have micro genius.... then a PS1 PS2.... all were great fun.. but when comes to lil consoles... I remember my game & watch.... stolen by some kid when I was a kid... poor me....

WELCOME TO THE CLUB! (wah i got chance to say this now)
AHAHA

before this my nintendo was the micro genius or somethign.. hmm

Haih, this thread should be title "Nintendo and you".

Sadly, as I recall, those games I listed up there are the only games I had(Chrono Trig pinjam). And we never really asked for more. How things have changed.

I could play Chrono Trigger over and over again with new game +. Upon finishing morning school, I'd start, and end about 6pm.

Mario All-Stars was endless fun, it had Mario 1(updated like XBLA games), Mario 2(updated too), Mario 3(da best), Mario Lost Levels, Mario Bros(vs. game), and Super Mario World if I'm not mistaken.

And if I were to count quarters for every match I played in SFIITurbo, I could buy another SNES(which was at least 1k initially). Not as great as Arcade version, but still one of the best versions.

Contra 3, the one with the mutant turtle boss in 1st level. Had one of the best features in Contras, top-down perspective view levels, dual-wield guns(dual Flame FTW), and.. and.. MODE 7!



Oh yea, I had a 'hacked' Mortal Kombat 2 also, which enabled you to execute Fatalities whenever you want. Two player starts as Sub-Zero, Both do Front Front Down Front Hard Punch.. Both frozen till end of timer

wow...all snes...no sfc ka...i mopre prefer sfc design...but sadly..i cant find SFC...so i bought SNES....i remember need modify to play other region cartridge...

Still got my NES at home, those joysticks are legendary man. Still remember my contra marathon years back...

I had micro genius, SFC, GB about a decade ago. I skip tru N64 and GC and finally back on track with NDS and Wii

For me i all the while handheld console....From Nintendo game watch, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance to NDSL.....All the while Nintendo fan ^^V

oh, dont think i can attend those gatherings, cos im in aus, hahaha paiseh

edit: title changed!

lol cool, sorry if I made you change the title, because that was not my intentions.

More memories, after SNES, of course there was N64. When One Utama opened, so was Toys R' Us, and they had a N64 on display. Everytime I had the chance to go there, I'd hit the N64.

Super Mario 64 was on display. That weird N64 controller made everything uncomfortable. But then, I realized that they made it in such a way(the trident controller) that you aren't supposed to switch hands at all times.

I don't think I ever got anywhere in that game, not even a star, if memory serves me right. This is because of limited play-time. Maybe it was parents, maybe it was the Toys R' Us workers, I do not recall.. This was YEARS ago, I'm lazy/bad at maths, so no YEAR for you.

Unfortunately, the display machine was.. disabled. They no longer kept it 'on'. I was sad. The controller was stuffed inside the plastic clear casing. The gigantic piece of hardware was beautiful, kinda reminds me of the Xbox now

Now sad story(for me), I had a lucky draw ticket for Toys R' Us, only 3 winners would be able to raid the store. Anything you dump in your cart, within the given time, would be yours.

Thinking I would be chosen, out of the 50+ kids that were there.. I proceeded to plan out my "purchase". Alot of kids went to the console section, where they had SNES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and etc. etc. But they were all in glass cases. You had to take the card(the price tag actually) and dump it in your cart, to purchase it. The cards are kept in sleeves, which are then hung above the cases, respectively above the console(s) itself.

But they were smart. Those damn kids shuffled those cards all around, meaning they hid it somewhere(in another sleeve) so they can find it easily.

But alas, it was a #$%$@% lucky draw. I did not get called out, and I was sad/disappointed. There goes my N64 dream.

And that's why I didn't get a N64 (because no cash too)

my oh my...wat a sad story.....

as for me...
my connection with nintendo started long before i even own a Nintendo machine...
i collect the nintendo megazines...which are damn expensive...
only in std 6 that i got my 1st ever nintendo machine...the gameboy...
staring from there...it's always been nintendo all the way...
i skipped n64...bcoz no money that time...but after that...
gamcube...gba...ds fat...ds lite...and the latest piece of nintendo i got...virtualboy!
wii is gonnab e next!

well nintendo for me was all about contras and the micro genius snes era . now im in the future .. currently happy with the nintendo ds . playing mario kart is a blast

My nintendo experince begins when my grandpa bought me GameBoy (that was in Std 6, still keeping it till now ) Then i got few GB games like pokemon yellow, 64 in 1 pack games& few more tapes (can't rmb what's the title thought. Then my bro join in buy GB light& GB colour (end up both of it MIA )

If not mistaken, long long time ago, Subang Parade also got Toys R Us..they got put N64 too, but that time i don't hv the $$ 2buy it since its so expensive (small little kid where got so much $$ right..lol)..Then i hv SNES..afterthat, didn't buy any nintendo console until the wii recently

P.S: I also hv micro genius (NES clone, also given by my grandpa lol)..now keeping it as history console..can consider as nintendo experince lol...Miss those old memories

Hehe, guess everyone got their own first encounter with Nintendo huh? Mine was standard 5-6, i can't remember. But my dad got me a NES. The first game i ever played was Super Mario Bros. that came with the machine. The next game was contra. Still remember i can beat the whole game in less than 30 mins. Hehe.

After that, SNES came and SEGA Megadrive came and PS1 came, and all i can do was drool. Can't afford any of those anymore

Until 2 weeks ago when i bought a NDSL. Nintendo is still the best hehehe.
