I would like to participate, I grew up with Nintendo so I have very many memories about different Nintendo franchises, but fitting to Switch Online: When Pokémon Diamond got released, we had no compatible Wi-Fi and there were no Smartphones yet. So if I wanted to trade, I searched a forum, wrote a message or replied in a thread, then the fun begun: I had to make an “appointment” for trading, when the other person accepted I grabbed my bike and drive to the nearest McDonald’s to grab there compatible Wi-Fi, it was an adventure because I never knew if the trader will be there while I waited and if he didn’t show up, I wasted more than an hour just by riding and waiting, but sometimes it was worth the effort an time, specially after obtaining my first full Dex, ever!
My fondest Nintendo memory is probably getting my switch lite last year on my birthday. I still play the hell out of that thing. That is what really sparked my love for Nintendo. Since then I have bought a Gameboy color, ds lite, wii, and gba sp. Nintendo peak.
Well my fondest memory probably would be getting my first gameboy handheld on christmas and then playing tetris and super mario land. That was what started my love for nintendo that is still there today with the switch.
my foundest nintendo memory is probably that time when i got a nintendo wii for christmas..man i used to play with my sister EVERY DAY.(we used to love wii play)
I remember that my sister wii remote broke one day (it would not turn on) and me ,a 13 years old, TRIED TO REPAIR IT.
I used GLUE to attack a little piece under the battery..ok i know its hard to understand but it started to TURN ON.
I swear.(it died some days later but it was something)
Oh and sorry english is not my first language
My fondest memory is my lovely blue edition nds that my cranky granny got me. It shifted to brown edition after I dropped it in the toilet after eating my granny’s Taco Bell wannabe. Oh let’s say Mario had a taste of that.
When I was 8yo I owned a gameboy advance and fell in love with link’s awakening, so I was talking about it with a family’s friend and how much I enjoyed stumbling into random stuff simply by exploring the map. A week later he brought his nintendo 64 and told my parents that I can keep it for the weekend to play Ocarina of Time. I spent the whole weekend exploring amazed by the 3d graphics, it looked like real world to me at that age!!
My fondest Nintendo memory is when Ruby and Sapphire came out, my grampa wanted to buy me a copy of the game.
We got to the cashier at a small game shop in a small town in Portugal and he thought the game would cost like 10/15€ and he asked me if I really wanted it and I said “Of course, I would love the game!”. So he is ready to pay, the man on the counter tells him the price of the game, which was 50€ at the time, and he asked me again just to see if I would change my mind.
In the end, I spent all summer playing the game relentlessly and he had to tell my grandma that it was a 10€ game.
That’s a cherished memory and something I’ll never forget.
Not sure what my answer would be, it’s hard to pick. Maybe when I got the Wii.
My dad and I played Super Nintendo together when I was a kid, things like Super Mario World and Sunset Riders, now I play Switch with my son, like Super Mario Wonder and the Super Nintendo classics on that app 😁
My fondest nintendo memory is playing Inazuma Eleven 2: Firestorm bedridden. I was at home and I ate some bad food so I got food poisoning and I was just sick in a bucket, it was awful and I felt like I was dying.
A little later after a lot of sleep. I took my 3DS from my bedside table and just played some Inazuma Eleven 2, facing Genesis, a bit of Street Fighter 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer and it lifted my spirits and made the day seem less crappy.
I have a few other great Nintendo memories like Osnic and the Black Knight on Wii or DQ9 on the DS but I like this one because between being ill and not having a great time at school during that period, I distinctly remember feeling happy then.
One of my fondest Nintendo memories is getting nekopara on my switch and realising if you shake the console, it makes the catgirls boobies bounce.
I don’t want the code, so skip me
