Here's a little bit about my long held bond with the life force that is NINTENDO
All I wanted for christmas when I was 7 (1989) was a Nintendo. I wanted one so bad that I would have dreams about the NES. After I got it my life was never quite the same. A large part of my childhood was spent playing the magic machine, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I remember the commercial for Super Mario Bros 3, like it was yesterday. The one where the voice says "All you have to do is ask." Then the world is shown covered by Mario. Those days have long passed... Now, I am married, been out of High School for 5 years already, and on 11/19/06 I purchased a Nintendo Wii. Yes, I could have threw down $600.00 for a PS3, but why would I do such a thing! As long as I have been alive I have watched Nintendo evolve, as crazy as it sounds it is as if it(nintendo) has advanced along with me. Although it seems to keep getting bigger and smarter, it also stays true to its original roots (which go back to my childhood) of fun games that send the player into a world of goombas, ninjas, offroading, and so much more. Nintendo now leaves me with one, seemingly endless question,"What's coming next?"
