My Gaming Console Collection

This post is about all the gaming consoles I’ve collected over the years, I don’t quite have them all but I’m working on it haha. I’m going to list them in the order I acquired each of the consoles and my favourite things about them. Let me know what your favourite console is and why.

Super Nintendo

This was the first gaming console I got when I was a kid, my older sisters and I were trying to convince my parents to get us a NES and when we finally convinced them was right around the time Super NES was released; so we got that with Super Mario World and Legend of Zelda a link to the past. This is still one of my favourite consoles to play.

Nintendo 64

So at this point I’ve been gaming for a while and N64 is released along with the original PlayStation. I’m fully sold on Nintendo at this point so I ask for the N64 and I get it as a present at the end of the school year. 3D Graphics and some of the best games ever released, while it wasn’t as powerful as PlayStation I feel the no loading screens makes up for it.

Nintendo Gamecube

All Nintendo so far, I really wanted the Gamecube when I first heard about it. It was a cool concept and had some good games, I would recommend the 3 games pictured. The mini disc games were in reality annoying and the fact that this was a less powerful machine than its competition resulted in this console being played less than the previous two.

PlayStation 2

Now this console is awesome, good graphics and performance and tons of classic games. I love the PS2 and as you’ll see I was sold on Sony consoles after I got this one.

Xbox 360

I wasn’t interested in the original Xbox, I tried an in store demo of it when it first came out and the controller was uncomfortable and the controls seemed buggy. All that was resolved with the 360, I bought this console for myself as a graduation present using some money I’d saved up. I have the largest collection of games for the 360 and it is an awesome console. I should mention though it had problems when it first came out, I returned two consoles after they got the red ring of death but the third one has worked ever since.

PlayStation 3

The main reason for getting this system was the built in Blu-ray player. It is a good console but I have the fewest number of games for this one.

Nintendo Wii

Back to Nintendo again, of course I got a Wii. Motion controls and cheaper than the two competing consoles, it’s no wonder Nintendo sold over 100 million of these. The novelty did wear off after a while, It’s still a fun console to bring out at parties every once in a while but other than that I don’t really play this one anymore.

PlayStation 4

I went for PS4 over Xbox one at release, I stand by that decision. I’m currently posting my playthrough of Batman Arkham Knight on my blog, so after you’re done reading this why not check out one of those videos? I love the controller for the PS4; the touch pad is sweet. They also didn’t force the camera on you at launch and you can easily swap out the hard drive for a bigger one if you run out of space.

Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast

So around the time I put together my theatre system I found a game trading shop in town that had pretty much everything a gamer could ever want. I never had any Sega system as a kid, I had friends with the genesis so I played that all the time and I really wanted a Dreamcast but I never got it. Long story short these are now added to the collection.

That’s my whole collection as it is right now.

NES, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1 (games run on PS2 so not necessary), Original Xbox (also not necessary), Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One X.
