Which Consoles/Systems did you use most growing up?

Which consoles did you primarily use most?

From a very young age, I would say GameCube, but when my family received a Wii, I don't think I ever used one again.

So for me, the Wii was the biggest one. Although I typically used it for the Virtual Console. Also I really liked the Wii U, and mainly used that through-out high school.

Xbox 360 was one I used a lot, then not so much.

My GBC and (Hey You, Pikachu!) N64 were my life. I played Pokémon on them both to death and it was one of my funnest childhood experiences. \o/

 

[XNaut]

I used N64 the most.

Gamecube and my Gameboy SP!! Gamecube was used a buuunch for Symphonia and the other games I had on it and of course I played hundreds and hundreds of hours on my Gameboy SP playing Pokemon and the like.

Nintendo Entertainment System** aka ** NES.

Super Mario Brothers **Original** + Tecmo Bowl = heaven LOL. Baseball Stars, Skyshark, Operation Wolf, Double Dribble, Tennis(eh its a game), Star Wars(that game was harder than you think), Contra and others I can't seem to remember were also present. Was blessed to get a SNES several years later with Super Mario World(best Mario game ever made bar none), A Link to the Past and other titles I'm too lazy to cite here. Then when we got N64 and 4 games(Ocarina of Time being one of them) I never got another console ever again(largely because I had discovered PC gaming).

I really do miss coming home from school and gaming on my N64 and playing Jet Force Gemini and blowing up a bunch of bugs. Good times.

Pokemon Stadium 2 was also fun, but because I had zero idea how to transfer Pokemon, I kept having to use rentals to do like... anything in the game.

Gamecube was also another one. Smash Bros, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD, Pokemon Channel... those really were good times. I forgot what other games I had for the GC since those were the ones that I played the most, really.

I miss those times.

Gameboy Advance SP as well! I think my largest (physical) game collection to date by console would be the GBA generation. Even though it didn't come with a whole new generation of games since it's just a version of the GBA, it was a lot of "firsts" for Nintendo handhelds; the backlight, the clamshell design, the rechargeable battery. I loved that little thing so much.

Stuff in the Nintendo family just in general. I myself started with the Nintendo DS lite, but my grandma had an N64 that I played with quite a bit before I got my first DS, and my neighbors let me play their Gamecube and Gameboys a lot too before I got a DS.

NES Bootlegs and PS1 console.

 

[Hermione Granger]

The ps1, gba and gameboy color were the three major systems I played growing up.

 

[Auticorn]

Super Nintendo, Game Boy Color and the Game Boy SP (or something). Oh, and a Game Boy Advance! I've actually played a lot of Pokemon since Yellow as well, so I spent most of time with the original Game Boy until they came out with the color version of it.

God, I feel old. ;o;

 

[Shadow-Lucario]

Sega megadrive and original gameboy.

The early days it was the SNES with Super Mario World, TMNT IV, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (to name a few) and the N64 with hours spent on Majora's Mask, Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing. Middle school days I think I spent more time on my PS2 than Gamecube, but both had a great library of games.

 

[pastelspectre]

Gamecube and a nintendo ds. mostly gamecube as that was my first game system that i owned growing up and i constantly played sonic on it.

 

[FlameChrome]

well im 17, so im like in the middle line of grown up and still growing. But my first console was a PS2, actually stopped playing that and it got sold. think i stoped at about age of 6? cant remember exactly. (my memory sucks for specific things, it can remember general though, most times) Then I got a Wii, loved it for years, also sometime before i got the Wii U (near when it released) I got the Xbox 360, i actually never really got into it, played it on and off, but still kept playing the Wii and Wii U (got rid of the wii not long after i got Wii U). Then about a year ago (christmas of 2017) i got the xbox one, and just kept playing that, mainly due to im now in touch with my gamer side, and my parents back then controlled what i played 24/7 (by that mean i was resticted on games due to violence and stuff)
So from least played to most played:
PS2, NEW 3DS XL(got it for my birthday one year, about a couple years ago, and got it for pokemon, barely played), PSP (idek when and how i got this, think i was very young and stuff, still have it though), Xbox 360, Wii U, Xbox One, Wii

Even though I have fond memories of playing the Sega Genesis as a kid, I probably put more time in video games once we got a Playstation, and then later a Playstation 2. I put a lot of hours into my GBA SP too, even though the only games I ever really had for it were Pokemon ones.

 

[BronzeHeart92]

PS2 naturally. Kinda hoped to own a Gamecube as well but alas...

 

[Starry Windy]

For me, it's between PSone and my Gameboy Advance SP.

 

[Fleurdelis]

PC. It's where it all began for me and where I play the most on nowadays aswell.

 

[Homeskulled Kid]

In terms of playtime... the DS, the Wii and then the Nintendo 64. Completely reverse the order in terms of purchase, and there you go! I love all of these consoles and they have been the backbone of a marvellous childhood. And a lot of bribery. Tattling was dissuaded by making a kart emblem on Mario Kart DS. And the hours spent playing Smash Bros. Brawl was really scandalous.

Without those consoles, I probably wouldn't have done so well psychologically.
