Your First Console & Handheld

First console--the NES
First handheld--the original olde gray brick Game Boy

 

The first device that I ever held was the GameBoy Color and the game it held was Pokémon Red. For the console, I held the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the game that I was playing in it was Super Mario. *sighs* So much memories. <3

 

The first ever console my family had was a nintendo 64.

I was 14 when I finally got my first handheld gaming system, it was a used DS lite, when I upgraded, i gave that to my little sister.

 

Same here! High-Five for us... uhh... old people.

Well, those two (and every home console since) was shared among us kids, but the first handheld I owned personally was the Gameboy Pocket, the red one. I still remember the commercial for it! A bunch of cool (in the 90s) looking teen guys standing on a conveyor belt as a dispenser above them dropped the GBP straight into the back pocket, as if applying the final touch of manufacturing the next cool 90s kid: me. In hindsight, however, it probably looks more like "Nintendo wants you to be a thoughtless product-buying zombie on a conveyor belt. Buy our stuff!"

Still Gameboy Pocket was such an improvement over the brick.

 

The first console I had was a SNES my cousins bought my brothers and I when we were little. I played games like Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario World. I have so many memories of waiting for my two brothers to finish playing together (since there are only 2 controller ports) so that I could play it. Sometimes before I would go to bed I would play Donkey Kong Country and just listen to the music to relax and wind down. Eventually though, I got a semi clear Gameboy Color as my first handheld and lost a bit of interest in the SNES as I had Pokémon Silver and Sabrina the Teenage Witch to keep me entertained lol. Nowadays I don't play video games as often but I still have both the SNES and the Gameboy color! Playing on them is probably a long shot though as I gave my gameboy color to my younger sister and the SNES is somewhere in the attic and its too much of a hassle to get and set up without causing a commotion. o -o

 

First console was a playstation 2 that my parents got for my brother on his birthday. It was a great system, we had it at a time that we could get lots of the classics for a good price.

My first handheld was I believe before the ps2, it was a gameboy. Before the color. We had super mario world, tetris, pacman... then my cousin gave me Pokémon blue. I trained a blastoise and flareon to level 100 on that game, I put so much time into it.

 

My first handheld was a Game Boy Advance. I had one of those semi-transparent ones, and my brother had a solid purple one. Good times, those were.

My first console was a PlayStation 2. At the time, my neighborhood didn't have cable internet, so my brother and I couldn't play online multiplayer games. Still, we were happy with what we had.

 

My first console was a SEGA Genesis that my dad had. I played it a lot as a kid but I was so bad at all the games I never got past any of the first levels.

My first handheld was a GBA and I played that 10x more than the Genesis. So many hours put into Pokémon Sapphire and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror...

 

My first console, believe it or not, was a NES, but with appearance quite similar to one of the Sega Genesis models (I think it must be one of the bootleg NES consoles out there), I think I played a lot of Tetris back then.

My first handheld was a newest model of Gameboy Advance SP with extra backlight in it, I do remember that I played many Power Rangers games and Pokémon Emerald in it.

 

I had the original gameboy, gameboy color, gameboy advance, super nintendo and nintendo 64!

I wish I could have had a Snes or a Dreamcast but they're so before me ;_;

First console - Sega Genesis

First handheld - Game Boy Color

 

My first console was a PlayStation 2, which was my dad's, my first console being a Limited Edition Mario Red Wii
My first handheld was the original Nintendo DS which my dad smashed, then a second Nintendo DS for which the reason's pretty clear, then a DS Lite which was also Limited Edition Mario Red, then a 3DSXL and now a 3DS.
I've had a lot of DS's...

 

My very first handheld was the gameboy advanced sp. I got it on my sixth birthday. I thought it was a coin purse at first because it came in a case, but I was ecstatic to find out it's true nature.

 

My first console ever was the Nintendo Wii. We got that when I was eleven years old and my brother and I loved it (nowadays, I'm the only one who still uses it).

My first handheld? That would be the Gameboy Advance SP. We had a "128 games in 1"-game. We played that over and over again. Too bad you couldn't save. We also had a Dora game and a Penguins of Madagascar game... I was so proud of myself when I finished Dora, but up 'til now, I've never been able to finish Penguins of Madagascar... I think I should give it another go one of these days.

 

My first was the original nintendo DS then the nintendo Wii.

 

My mom got me GBA Micro for my 8th birthday before then, I was always playing cheap throwaway portable games which I didn't even understand how they worked. One of them was a Tetris clone, so if that counts as a console it'd have to be that.

 

My first handheld was the original DS and my first console was the wii and later I got a ps2

 

My first handheld was a GBC and my first game was Pokémon Gold. Goodness, I was obssessed with it! I cried for days when it broke.

My first console was a Playstation (one) and that's really all I've ever owned. Once it broke, I had fallen too far in love with PCs to buy another one.
