Nintendo will always be the beginning of my epic Adventure!

Many of us gamers have fond memories starting a game. We all have our own story, kind of like a super hero origin story. Mines started with Nintendo and Super Mario Brothers.
I remember going to my aunts apartment with my mom. My cousin always had great stuff, and I didn't really care until I seen my first gaming system. The Nintendo Entertainment System, and the game he was playing was Super Mario Brothers. Back then it was the cartridge with the Duck Hunt game with it. I asked him to play but being the youngest I had to wait my turn, but just watching him play gave me a feeling of wow.
When he finally gave me the controller, I didn't even know how to hold it. My cousin showed me, and I felt I was ready. With great disappointment as fast as I started the game I died from my first Goomba.
Something happened to me that day that could only be explained as life changing!
A fire boiled in my stomach, and I became angry. Angry at the game because I fail. I had 2 choices, either give up this stupid game thing that wasn't cooler then transformer toys, or pick up that controller and destroy that Goomba, and every Goomba after that!

 Later on the list to follow as my victims by controller:

  • King Koopa
  • Ganondorf
  • All of Dr. Wily Robots
  • Gyaba
and multiple former best friends due to super smash brother, Golden Eye and Perfect Dark... 

 This is my origin story, and I want to thank Satoru Iwata. Thank you for giving us our Origin Story as a gamer.

    Hey Kevin,

    Funny story and very similar to my life. I grew up playing the same game but was never really that great at it. Im sure you know haw frustrating that can be but mama didn't raise no quitter. It doesn't matter what the topic is I will not stop until I win. Besides where the in giving up.

    This is dope! Nintendo was too crucial when I was a kid. But, I could never beat any of the games on my own either. Especially that first Ninja Turtles game that no one could beat. I wish they would put the classic games on the current Wii. Not the remix version either, son. Full games.
