If this wasn't your first game console, you are either too young or too old to be on /v/.
Whatever your first console was isn't really dependant on your age or experience.
>>337643998
That was my first console.
My favorite childhood games were:
>Banjo Kazooie
>Super Mario 64
>Kirby and the Crystal Shards
>_____________Gex
>>337643998
'91 here
My first was SNES, but N64 is definitely the defining console of my childhood,
It was my first "current gen" console. I had an aftermarket NES, Genesis, and SNES before.
>>337643998
M-my parents bought me a Sega Saturn and PS1 instead.
Mine was the playstation
>>337643998
snes nigga
>>337643998
GBC for handheld
Gamecube for console
>>337645061
Gex had a really creepy vibe to me, the levels were really detailed and stuff but they were devoid of anything but enemies, it was disconcerting
Still fun though
Super Nintendo then ps1
Atari 2600 here, played it with my neighbors in the late 80's. NES was my first console I actually cared about though.
>>337644154
First post nailing it like always
>>337643998
Your first console was a piece of shit, op.
>>337646706
oh boy here we go...
NES, but it was after SNES came out.
>>337643998
>too old to be on /v/
I agree. Yet here I am.
96 here. My first console was the Gameboy Color. My older brother, born in '93, hated the N64 as a kid and so we never had one. He wanted to be a Sony/Sega kid for the rest of his life. That changed when the Gamecube was released though lol.
That being said, I'm one of the handful of people my age to grow up with a Saturn and Dreamcast. I think that's pretty cool imo.
>>337643998
well, it's the first one for me because I had to be old enough to get a job to pay for it myself. Up until then it was a matter of befriending other people with a SNES or Mega-Drive. Lousy parents instilling self-sufficiency in me.
>>337646884
>lol
I don't even care if you're not underage anymore, just get out.
>>337646706
PS1 peasants need not apply
>>337643998
>implying the ps1 didn't exist
>implying the saturn didn't exist
>implying the dreamcast didn't exist
>>337643998
Dreamcast...
23
Does it count if I grew up with old consoles from my cousins?
I'm only 20 but my first console was a Sega Genesis.
>>337647313
How old are ya Anon?
Technically my first console was a hand-me-down NES from a neighbor who used to bully me. It didn't work. The games did though. Played those at a friend's house. Never did know where I left those NES games.
Did not get a SNES or Genesis sadly, but I played those at friends'/relatives' houses. Played enough to experience the 4th gen at large (I did own Gamegear and Gameboy though).
When we finally had cash, my mom bought me an N64 for Christmas
>>337647494
I'm 19 too. Did you grow up with older games as a kid rather than play newer ones? I played mostly PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Gameboy games as a kid.
>>337643998
Sega Genesis tho
>first console was a NES with a few dozen games
>Parents threw it all away when they got me a n64
>Still hold a grudge to this day
There was a sweet cherry wood box that held all the games too. The smell still makes me think of lazy days trying to figure out what game I would try to play.
Also I'm 23, not sure what is too old or too young for v. Im guessing age range here is between 16 and 30.
>that sweet loader music to make that shit loading and shit games seem a bit better
>>337647382
I'm 23 and the Genesis was my first console. Pitfall, some Sega CD shark game, and street fighter 2 championship edition along with every damn sonic for the console. Still have it too, occasionally bust it and my pads out for some gsmes of drinking fighter
97fag here
Don't remember where I started playing video games first. N64 was my first console but I also had a GBC and can't remember if I had it before or after the N64.
Though, I think the first video game I ever played as Lego Racers on my dad's Windows 98. Good times!
I'm 20 and my first console wasthe Wii.
I owned exclusively handhelds as a kid because we were poor. On the plus side, I have a great appreciation for 2D games now.
My first was an NES which is the only correct answer. Then SNES then 64 which was mediocre and ps1 then ps2 and gamecube, gamecube was the last straw so no wii and a ps3 now ps4 and n3ds. Pc this whole time too of course.
Is anyone here a college fag? I'm 19 years old and just finished my freshman year. I wanted to find some gaming friends but didn't and now I feel left out and sad. Do people our age not really like video games as much as they used to?
>>337647625
Mostly, but I was limited since I sucked before and could only play linear games like Mario 64 and bomberman. I also had much fewer new games than old games to play so it was pretty balanced for me between old and new.
>>337648121
Depends on where you are.
>>337643998
26 is too fucking old, seriously? What are you like 19? Sorry you couldn't grow up with sega genesis and sega channel. Hope you enjoyed your fucking bust-a-move.
SNES, but I was born in 95
>tfw cheap parents
>mfw I would do the same thing
>>337643998
96 here and yes then it was the Dreamcast
>>337648121
>I don't know anyone who likes video games therefore nobody my age likes video games
>>337648121
All my friends play games like Siege and Rocket League and I just don't feel like dropping so much money on game I'll probably never play because I'm too beta to ever ask if they want to play.
>>337647114
>PS1 got all the relevant games
>Sony's dominance of the game market allowed them to stay relevant for two entire decades
>even if the PS3 had a rocky start, people STILL wanted PS3s
>Japan's video game market owes its existence solely to Sony
You're just mad that you'll never EVER get Japanese games on your outdated Nintendo machines.
>>337643998
That was my first, but my brother had a NES and a Genisis well before I had an N64. Where do I fall?
>>337648760
Though I agree that PSX had more good exclusives (though I think what little good exclusives Nintendo had > the many exclusives PSX had) you're fucking retarded
>>337648926
How's Metal Gear Solid 5 on the Wii U? Oh, you don't have that one? Well how about Dark Souls 3? No? You guys did get FFX and X-2 HD Remaster, right? Are you kidding me? Well, at least you guys have Final Fantasy 15 to look forward to... oh wait. I guess Persona 5 is coming to the Wii U?
Huh, I thought the Wii U was a relevant platform for Japanese developers.
>>337648760
Difference is, we're still discussing the N64's first- and second-party exclusives regularly to this day, whereas with the PS1 the only game that gets discussed regularly is FF7.
Quality over quantity.
>>337648760
>All the relevant games
That's a pretty ignorant thing to say, and really shows how cloistered you were and apparently still are. I guess he was right about you guys sitting in dark rooms all by yourselves.
>>337648121
My freshman year me and my friends played smash Bros 64 for at least at hour a night, just gotta find the right people
>>337649260
Nobody's talking about the Wii U.
Born in 95 but my first was dreamcast
>>337649275
>ps1 are bad because no one discuss about them nowadays
Well excuse them for not circlejerking over the same games for 20 years
>>337649275
>people on an American website still discuss games on the N64, which was only relevant in America
No shit. Same reason why people talk about shitty multiplats on the PC and XBox (when there is no PC version), because America is the only country where losers matter.
>>337649260
When the fuck were we talking about Wii U? Nintendo brought the video game market over from Japan with the NES you cunt.
And besides, Mario, Zelda, Kirby and Pokemon are much bigger series than MGS, Final Fantasy and Persona. And don't forget Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest :^)
>>337649476
Well if they had games maybe they would circle jerk over them
>>337649563
Euroshits go home.
>>337643998
Too old. I'm a wizard.
>>337649592

Nice multiplat franchises bro
I was born in 92 and the first console I remember using was a game boy. It was a hand me down from my brother, but I probably didn't use it until I was about 6. The color was probably out by then.
>>337643998
My first console was a nes and I'm 21, but yes, I'm about 5 years too old for this dump.
>>337643998
Guess I'm too old my first console was the NES when I was like 3 years old.

I don't argue with kids, kid.
>>337649685
I'm American. The N64 was only relevant in America, look it up. No one wanted it in Europe, no one wanted it in Japan. Same goes with the Xbox.
ITT: poorfags
My first console was the neo geo.

It's amazing how after 20 years they are still upset about the ps1, their commitment is actually something to be admired

Even saturn would be a better choice.

>>337643998
1992. I had a SNES first best i can recall.
I ended up having both a N64 and a PS1, the PS1 saw way more travel by far because it had a good library of games that even my dad enjoyed to play.
apparently i used to have a console prior to a SNES but it was probably something like a pong console and i really don't remember it.

Adding on to my post I just realized how fucking behind I was on video games. I was using a genesis when I was about 8. I didn't know the fucking thing came out in 89.
I think my parents just bought my brother and I consoles that were in the bargain barrels.
>mfw sonyponys think their shit fur bait excuses for franchises are in any way shape or form anything other than complete and utter dirty brown water trash
Rehash bandisloot, shy pooper, ratshit and stank, ballsac and haxtar, isharted and so many other shitty franchises are complete ass and the only reason anyone thinks they're anything close to not the functional equivalent of a heaping mound of garbage is because they were the few games that took more than 20 minutes to beat among the mountain of shovel ware shit that got dumped on the wobbleststion 2 which is all you played with when you were kids because your family was to fucking poor to buy anything other than some two bit nip cuck mediocre DVD player
Fuck off faggots

I meant losers as in platform losers. N64 lost overall, but remained strong in USA. Same is true for all the Xboxes.
>>337650273
Simple. They're not Japanese consoles. That's literally why. Gotta keep up that Jap cred, Fampachi.
my first console was a famiclone with keyboard and a gun after that i haven't got any other console just pc
>>337649832
>This delusion
These games don't need to be multiplats to be huge. Pokemon alone has its own card game, television shows, movies, etc. Hell it's arguably bigger than even Mario is. You don't seem to realize how much this shit sells.
Same goes for Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest in Japan. Hell their presence is even more monopolized over there. When I was living in Japan I saw it everywhere.

Yet Pokemon needs two versions and sometimes a third rerelease to even sell some big numbers
Also DQ doesn't belong to no one
90 here
The SNES was a thing and it was my very first console, however my older brother (80) had a NES but there wasn't any point to go back to the previous console.
the one I have full memories (since the SNES was gifted to my brother primaly) is the N64 and Gameboy Color.
>>337650694
>Pokemon R/B/G = 30m
>30 / 3 = 10
>MGS V = 6m
Even on their own a isngle pokemon game outsells the best selling MGS game.
>>337650421
Well America does make up a rather large part of the market, it's why Microsoft is still making consoles. It's why they sold almost as many as 360s as Sony did PS3s.
I think if Japan mattered so much for Microsoft, the 360 would bomb hard. Enough traction in the United States carries a lot of weight.
>>337643998
This was my first console. First game I ever played was Space Invaders on it. My mom and I used to play together on it.
>>337650884
>Pokemon R/B/G
How about relevant data?
system ownership survey? system ownership survey.

NES -> GBC yellow -> N64 -> GC / PS2 -> PS3 -> PC
it was a wild ride
>>337643998
This is my first, and what cha' gonna faggot?
I've played exclusive on PC for 17+ years.
>>337651089
Pokemon X/Y sold 14m
Pokemon ORAS sold 11.8m
Still on their own both selling more than the best selling MGS game. Not to mention the card game/anime, spin-offs, etc.
>>337650927
When you look at global sales, the Xbox lags hard behind the PS4. But if you look at a per region basis, the Xbox is just slightly behind the PS4 in the USA, that's why games still come out for it. The PS4, as is their tradition, still sold well in Europe, I think a bit better than the US as a matter of fact, and they annihilate Japan, for the 20th year in a row. That's why western games are more likely to come out for Xbox/PC, and why Japanese games are highly unlikely to do the same.

I've been on 4chan for almost 11 years now.
"Don't forget, you're here forever" isn't just a meme.
>>337651285
And yet they still sell more than MGS.
We're arguing whether or not Sony or Nintendo started the Japanese video game industry in America. Need I remind you that Metal Gear game came out on a Microsoft system?

And yet the PS3 still saw Japanese support. You know, the big name IPs that defined their consoles. If anything, the fact that the PS3 managed to stay relevant despite being in dire straits and then swoop upwards makes it the true winner. Playstation is the John Cena of the video game market.
SONY WINS LOL

That's a large reason why I've stayed. I have no interest in registering on a website and building a "reputation" or "personality." I don't want my ass kissed just because I've been on a website longer than someone else.

As awful as /v/ is and has been for years, there's nowhere else that's better. Other sites claim to be better since they shoo out trolls and insults, but it's all forced and stifled discussion since it's filtered discussion. You can't be honest without fearing a ban.

Never played Zelda or Kirby or any of the Smash games or Metroid or final fantasy. Never played Mario through and my only Megaman was the gameboy version of Megaman X.
Nobody had a stationary Nintendo.
I grew up with Dave, the lizard game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro...
