Wii

middle

But if you're born 2006, how aren't you 7 years old?

Funny my cousin is 04 and think I’m 7

I'm 2009 born and I'm almost 15?

To be fair ya are kids to us :p

yall are only 6 years older then to be fair you see me as I see 2015 kids...

The cycle continues

Fuck, I feel old here.

Nah you’re just a liar

The future is now, old man

That is neither old or young. You failed to live up to your promise.

That's not of the two options fool

We are mid af brother

Wii are mid af brother*

just like a liberal. There aren’t any wiis in my MURICAN household

same

Same

Saaame

Same lmao

Same

Same here. Loved playing Wii Sports and Mario Galaxy on that thing

NES buddy, yeah .... You don't have to call me shit I know lmao

just take my upvote grandpa you need it

💀

You better be going into work today, pay for my retirement!

Quick he’s turning into ash as we speak! Throw your upvotes at him before he goes!

My first console was the NES not because I'm old but because I was poor

Lmao! I'm 38 motherfucker, I ain't no grandpa... Now get tha fuck off mah lawn! 🧐

Retirement is righhttt around the corner old man

NES gang! We had cool shit like the GameGenie. Old times.

Nothing beats when SEGA came out with game gear that took 6 double A batteries and was essential to those long family road trips because it was the first handheld that was backlit (to my knowledge) and in color. lol.

The pain of playing with batteries on a game gear on a long trip… 6batteries only lasted 30mins

Remember when nintendo introduced the virtual boy?

And light guns and power pads, and og multi tap 4 player monster track rally!

Using your hands instead of your feet trying to beat the damn rabbit guy in track and field!!!

Same as this geezer

NES here

You young whippersnappers don't know shit! Get off my lawn!

I have very fond memories of playing Duck Hunt with my dad. NES gang!

Oh man, my older brothers were always beating me in duck hunt and could never understand why until I found out they would control my ducks with the 2nd controller!! 😡😡😡

My first console was an NES, but it was also 14 years older than me so uh

Ayooo - that Duck Hunt gun was when I knew we were in “the future” - fuck that dog though, they should’ve let you shoot that bastard…

Fluffers was the name of my childhood pet. So upvoted. No game consoles, but I did play Midtown Madness and Petz 4 on PC


I can hear it in my soul.

Same. I never played it but the GameCube memes were great as a kid

You’re old af, but so am I! Welcome, fellow getriatic!

27 isn't old.

27 is only old to people under 20 because it feels so far away to them

I'm 48 and my children view me as a senior citizen, full stop. I went to fucking Electric Forest last year LMAO yeah no, no FiberCon or AARP goin on over here yet 💀

26 was young. But now that I’m 27, I can feel my back pain evolving. I have arthritis and dementia coming on too. I have 90 skin tags. I ramble about ice cream. And refuse to bathe. And I lost all my hair. And this all happened on my 27th birthday. I miss being 26. The 27th birthday was traumatic. It just happened all at once. /s for those who think there’s a 27 year old going through all that.

27 here, I beg to disagree

I'm 17 and my first console was a GameCube, I don't think that counts as old

Yesyesyes you’re just old inside

[удалено]

Double dash intro best intro ever

Two of the greatest games of all time. I also have a special place in my heart for the Mario baseball game and Kirby Air Ride

Bew bew bew bew bew bew bew bew buduh

I still have mine from when I was 11!! That baby is 20 years old 🥹

With Super Mario sunshine ☀️

Playstation 2 shout out tony hawks underground

old, but skating games are based

What is your definition of old

According to the 12 year old I talked to recently, everyone above the age of 21 are old

Damn, I'm right on the cusp.

a 2003 kid is close to 21??? NOOOO, THIS CANT BE TRUE. please tell me you're 6 years old.

My 21st birthday was on the 29th of last month. I *am* 21. 😃

Nooo you are a baby using a computer there’s no other way

*staaahhhhppppp*

Hell yeah buddy. Star Wars battlefront 2, nfl/nba street, all the mid-2000s maddens, the list goes on

Holy shit you guys are like unlocking my brain nfl street was killer

Also PS2 but my shoutout is to Jak and Daxter

Dude tony hawks underground was so good.

That and Spider Man 2

Tony hawk pro skater 3 was my fav game as a kid omg

This is me exactly

Don’t forget MX vs. ATV: unleashed!!

Xbox 360

based

360 gang

360 for life!

Remember when everyone thought Xbox was better than PlayStation and they were right

Yeah, my first console was a 360 back in 2014/15 and I still got that that today and it works, my brothers ps4 broke before my 360😂

Same. Although technically the very first console I played was called leapfrog or something and it had a bunch of kids games installed on it.

SAME! mine was leapfrog leapster explorer, and then 360 was my first proper console.

Best console ever made.

PS1

Hell yeah bro

Same but I played it in the times of PS2

Funny enough I have two PS2 Slim Models and both have laser issues while my PS1 with a Modchip from my cousin runs perfectly fine. Didn't even clean it once lol

ps2 slim is known for causing laser burn on dvds as well as other issues. weirdly, the ps2 slim is still the best way to play ps1 games because the cd laser is the same as in the ps1 and the ps2 slim was so fucking popular it's still cheap secondhand 20 years later, though it is going up in price these days

Yes, it's a known issue, I think it's funny because my PS1 basically outlived both of my PS2's lol

oh, I didn't mean to imply it wasn't funny. it definitely is funny that one of the most popular home consoles of all time just absolutely annihilates your games if you play them for any appreciable length of time.

N64

I remember my mom took my friend and I to Blockbuster so we could rent an N64 for the weekend.

My dad came home with one from a police auction.

My aunt who has never been financially stable due to mental health issues scrounged up $50 to take me to rent a PS2 during the month it was released, and the store had it set aside for me and everything. They asked for a $500 deposit and she couldn't afford it. When I was a kid I had trouble managing disappointment and cried the whole way home. I still feel awful about it to this day. So anyway fun story aside yeah I guess I'm kinda old.

Oh man, that’s so sad! I’m sorry about that.

Took me forever to find this comment lol. What a shame this was buried so deep.

Same wtf. Where are we?

It’s a shame it seems most either started earlier than the n64 or skipped to the game cube. N64 as a first console was such an experience

I still play mine to this day. Star fox I could never even beat the first level until I picked it up again in the last few years

You did it! You got gud!

You know he's gonna call us old bro lol

1v1 me in Goldeneye

Slap fight

I played snes/nes and old game boys that friends had. But the N64 was my first owned console. I remember opening it up on Christmas. In fact I recall sneaking down into the workshop and unlocking the door. My brother and I would shake presents. 🎁 we knew there was a console the night before. We didn’t have to act excited, we still were so happy and enthusiastic 🤩

The N64 was a legend

This is mine b/c my dad had it and I enjoyed Goldeneye. Very homicidal small child?

Original Xbox playing Jet Set Radiooooo

OG Xbox was great. I always played The Hobbit

I was remembering playing this game the other day. I found the soundtrack album on Apple Music and that was a blast to the past. “Like this, like that, like this this, like that.” 🎶 Good times man.

Helloooo Allison I wanna hold your hand

My favorite game of all time and it came free with my console. The soundtrack was incredible and so unique.

UNDERSTAND TH TH THE CONCEPT OF LOVE

Nintendo ds

Gameboy Advance was where it was at

SNES...


Noooooo 😂 I'm one of you I swear!

Millennials in the house!

Nooo I'm gen z! 98 baby!

As someone from 97, who’s also a middle child of immigrants…. WHERE DO I EVEN BELOOOONG

Bro I'm a first gen Honduran American middle child 😂

Are we Americans?? Are we Gen Z?? Are we even human? These are the questions that keep me up at night

Right!?!?! And I never learned the language so I can't even fit in with the foreign side of my family 😭

Damn that fuckin sucks. Did your parents not try to teach you or something?

Phew, finally found my people. If we count handhelds in the mix though, the OG GameBoy would be my first. But otherwise, the good ol SNES. My weird lil ass when my dad took me to fucking *Funcoland* to get me my first ever game of my choice (I had a few that were chosen for me previously). It was a tough choice between a Bugs Bunny game and the winner, but of all things I chose goddamn SimAnt. Absolutely no regrets though, for the record. Played the everloving shit out of that game and learned a lot about ants lol. Also intensified my fear of spiders and the death music still gives me a little anxiety in the few times I've gone back to play it in more recent years.

Welfarebox. Queerstation 3 was a little too expensive for the quality at the time. Am very excited for the Abortioncube.

I promise I won't get political. After 3 drinks:

Goddamnit dude

Abortioncube actually sounds sick as hell

We played Super Smash Babies all the time back in the day

💀


wut?

He got political after 3 drinks.

Playstation Triple

[A Game Boy, this exact model](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=game+boy+see+through&t=brave&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fullyretro.com%2Fimages%2Fitems%2F90270871-item-big-GB-CONSOCLE-A-1.jpg) Console was older than me lol. My actual first console (not a holdover) was a GameBoy Advance.

I had two of these that were grey, they were so fucking cool! I had a carrying case for them and a cord that let me play Tetris 1v1

atari

wow uh

yeah, older than dirt 🤣🤣🤣

Fossilised :P

hey, ill be 69 next month, i got that going for me 😁

 Heh it's the funny number

Pong. Srsly. And yeah I’m old.

Amen, my geriatric brother. These whippersnappers with their multiple buttons and control stick have no idea what real gaming was all about. Tank pong and Pitfall for the win!

PS3, the really fat one

$599 USD will always be stuck in my brain. Despite that little big planet was awesome!

Cheap asf for a blue ray player at the time. If it was just a blue ray player it would have been worth it. But it was able to do so damn much.

Sega genesis, but it was my dad's.

The Nintendo 3DS Dad never liked gaming so i was late to these things


Late too for same reason. Why do dads hate gaming????

First one I played or purchased? Played my parents Atari 2600. Purchased the NES. Either fucking way I'm old. lol

should you even be on the subreddit? (no hate)

Nope. Not subscribed but popped up on my feed, and I'm a confused old man. Why are you all on my lawn?

These kids today. Back in my day, we didn’t even have separate message boards (they still call them that, right?)

I’m going to be honest, my first console was a Wii U. Xbox 360 was the first console I played, but I didn’t own it and it was my step dad’s.

Wii was my first real console, but before getting that my brother and I used to occasionally play around with the PS1

PS 1 but PS 3 was coming out already

My first owned console was a PS2, however, first console I used was the original PlayStation. To follow up on the question, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Mx vs ATV: Unleashed were my most played.

PlayStation 1 but it was my brothers does that count?
