It`s all about that PlayStation and Nintendo

It`s all about that PlayStation and Nintendo

            Like most kids who were in grade-school in 2001, I grew up playing video games after school, on weekends, and any other time. But, I wasn’t as “updated” on game consoles as those other kids. I played with “The Classics”, as my uncles would say.

            You see, the consoles I played with as a kid were the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo, and the plug-in-play Atari. And boy, did I and do I still LOVE them! These games were my life; I mean I would even plan out what games I would play, for how long, and on which system. I appeared as living “The Life” at the age of 5! Plus, as a child I had no friends so all this gaming was just for ME!

            And then I turned 10, and on that birthday I received the 2^nd part of my gaming career. I had just received a PS2 slim, with a few games. Then those few games became a couple more games, and now, nearly seven years later, the total games I have for that one system has become a bit more than 30 different game titles. I remained that lucky guy.

            The Christmas of the year 2010, I received the one greatest item to add to my gamer collection; I had received a Nintendo DS lite. I fell in love with this thing all most at once. And when I learned that I could play Gameboy games along with DS games, I lost my mind. I had recent got into the Pokémon gaming fandom and now I was al in. I became (in my eyes) a true Pokémon master!!!!!!

            I became a freshman in the year 2012, the same year I got a Nintendo 3DS. This also launched me further into the Nintendo life. Even now, if you happen to have caught me in class or in the hallway of Austin High School, I would have a 97% chance of having my 3DS with me.

            That same year of 2012, I had also received a Playstation 3, along with an Xbox 360 w/ Kinect. Both of these consoles have made the years to follow amazing. Both had amazing graphics and updated software which made my gaming experience awesome! After school I would get home around five-ish, and (before homework) would play until around eight o clock, so that’s almost three hours of gaming per day, plus like all day on the weekends. I am still living as “The Kid with All the Games”!

            To some all this up:

·         I love the Mario Bros. Original/Duck Hunt game, and many more I can’t remember, and Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo. And almost all the Original Atari games.

·         I love Spyro the Dragon videogames, the Sly Cooper trilogy, the Jak and Daxter series, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi PlayStation game series, the Crash Bandicoot series games, and the Marvel Imperfects, and many other games for the PS2.

·         I love Pokémon games of any and all kinds, I love all the Smash Bros. games, and all the MarioKart games, and basically any Mario game in general.

·         I love the Mortal Kombat game series, I love the Marvel vs. Capcom series, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy, and many more that I can’t remember.

·         I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!!!

As this age continues to grow, we see kids with updated technology at very young ages. They grow up never knowing video games other than those violent, vulgar-speaking games the market is putting out there in the world. These kids need to go back and play the adventurous, addicting, fun games that we the older generation played with. These kids need to step back and chill. I’ve seen kids at the age of five, curse up a storm, and when they are questioned by where do they learns these words from, the answer is usually the media, and the games their parents let them play. These kids need to play some simple, yet exciting games like Tetris, and get away from all that vulgar stuff that passes off as videogames now-a-day.

Video games rule.
