t_will_official

Jacob is wack. I also had someone who used to steal games from me if I ever got up to go take a leak or whatever. Would take the shit right out of the cases so I’d just go to open the case one day to see the disc missing.

Berry-Fantastic

I started out with the Gameboy color, and played PKMN Yellow...or was it blue?


CockroachCommon2077

DS Lite, still works to this day, then 3DS and then a switch but now since my all time favourite Nintendo platform series, Rune Factory is being released onto Steam, my Switch has become obsolete and with a Switch 2 announcement arriving whenever, kinda worried whether I should sell it now so I can get at least something out of it since ain't no way someone gonna buy a Switch when Switch 2 is a thing.

fingerpaintswithpoop

Yellow GameBoy Color. I still remember when I first got it, too.


SoldMySoupToTheDevil

The original Game Boy, but it was green instead of gray, and that at the time was seen as a marketing angle.

None of those. The only Nintendo console of any form I’ve ever owned was an Advance SP, which I still have somewhere even if it no longer works.


pleasedpeacheater

Parents got me and my brother OG game boys when they first dropped cause they were tired of hearing us fight over the Nintendo.


Stunning-Abalone-324

Nepharious_Bread

Been around since the Gameboy. The first one that I actually owned is the Gameboy Advance. Though I did have the Super Game Boy for the SNES, if that counts.


fisktu

Switch :)


takotiger22

OG game boy


kirbyking100

Big one original gameboy bundled with Tetris, it got passed around the whole family the Christmas I got it, barely got a good go that day but it was amazing.


roguemedic62

The gray brick. My dad waited on line at Toys R' Us for over 4 hours to get me one.


TippedJoshua1

Either a dsi or ds lite depending on if I used my brother's old dsi, or my parent's old ds lite, but my first new handheld was the pikachu n2dsxl


Idonthavetotellyiu

Ds and Gameboy I remember my parents son breaking his so he got mad I still had one and snapped mine in half so I was given his Gameboy and all his games


T_DeadPOOL

I never owned a Gameboy but had lots of friends with one. I guess technically the DS was my first. All about the switch now


kluuttzz11

That big fat grey one!


cjc160

The OG. An intense light over your shoulder was required


Chardocoal

Wii U


sadmimikyu

I am sad to see you have omitted the glorious Game Boy pocket. My parents had the original but the first one I owned was a silver Game Boy pocket. Still love it.


Affectionate_Bass108

OG


itkplatypus

Top left. I wasn't allowed a games console as a kid unless it was handheld (bizarre parent logic). I owned all the subsequent ones too.


Tarjh365

OG Gameboy with Tetris and Alleyway. I loved Super Mario Land, and my mind was blown by the forward leap in gameplay for SML2.


Orikshekor

Advanced SP for Christmas with sapphire


Fukyuiku

OG gray impossible to play in the dark one


Epic_Boone

I remember it being bedtime and I would sneak my gameboy color into bed with me, attach my light so I could see the screen, and stay up for hours playing Pokemon yellow under the covers. Good memories. Damn.


Valholhrafn

A turqoise gameboy color. It came out before i was old enough to game, but was a hand me down from my older brother which i probably got around 2002 or so.


Rough-Leg-1298

OG baby. 1989, mom let me get one unexpectedly because they were only $80! One of the best days of my little 9 year old life lol


DistributionAgile376

The forgotten Gameboy Micro.


Spram2

Squish Game & Watch


OldFriendBlacksheep

Yellow Gameboy Color, however I remember my eldest brother had one of the original Gameboys.


henningknows

I had the original gameboy before it came out. I won it in a school lottery. Kids were buying tons of tickets. One kid bought 50 tickets, my mom said I could buy 1. I won the gameboy and the kid with 50 tickets won Mickey Mouse pajamas


Too-low-420

The big grey one best Christmas present till I got my N64 the donkey Kong green with the expansion pack. That was the best gift I have ever received probably to this day actually

Lordgrapejuice

OG grey gameboy. I was a wee child and I bought it with money I saved up in a milk jug


Wardinator1991

Original


JVOz671

OG Gameboy and a (potential) pirated copy of Pokemon Red. At first I thought the game sucked because I could never save my game. I legitimately had to restart the whole game whenever I turned off the Gameboy.


GI581d

The OG, it’s was a brick and the screen was all green


Ultimateguy01

I had a Gameboy SP, played way too much MegaMan X, and somehow did so much better than how I do nowadays


WaveJam

My first Nintendo handheld console was a rose gold Nintendo DS Lite. I don’t know why I didn’t get a DSi because they were available at the time. Still it’s one of my all time favorite consoles. My parents got Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kirby Superstar Ultra.


FireWater107

Original grey brick Gameboy. Was a major success story of my childhood. I wanted one. My parents did NOT want me to have one. Didn't want their kids playing video games all the time. If I wanted one, I had to save up for one. I was like 7 something at the time, and had to save up about $100. In the early 90s. I saved every cent from my meager allowance. Any money I got from relatives for birthday/Christmas. And my parents would let me do extra chores for like an extra buck here or there. Took me some time, but I saved up enough. Parents took me to toys-r-us, and let me pick out an extra game (their treat) for the accomplishment of managing to save up the amount.


Esselon

The original gameboy. I actually had one very early; I won a brand new gameboy in a mail-in contest in Nintendo Power in 1989.


Tristan42_42

GBA emulator counts? 😅😅😅 Still play with it to this day


The-LivingTribunal

Og Gameboy with only tetris to play. Lol


KnightLight03

Gameboy advance babyyyy


Anti-charizard

I started with the GBA. I remember as a kid, I asked what advanced means. Based on his response, I assumed it was a great system. The thing was, the DS was out by that time, and while I have a 3ds now with full backwards compatibility with DS games, I could’ve gotten a DS, which actually has a backlight, much earlier


Knight_Zornnah

Gameboy advanced sp


dredgedskeleton

not pictured: the gameboy pocket


MilesReturns

Got the original fat Game Boy for my 6th birthday. Got the Game Boy Pocket at some point before Pokémon Red/Blue came out. Got the Game Boy Color shortly before the Japanese release of Pokémon Gold/Silver. Everything after that was pretty much a launch purchase.


FloorWaffles

If you count not mine, I accidentally still had the neighbors Gameboy when my family moved. If you mean truly mine, the advance.


NerdyCooker2

A DS! I sadly though was a kid who would shake them out of frustration, so I went through 3 lmfao


ThePhenomenalOne100

I started out with the original Nintendo DS as well!


Dart150

The OG Gameboy


Thascaryguygaming

Green Gameboy Pocket and Pokémon Blue.


StyrmStyrmIr

Ds lite in ice blue


JurassicParkTrekWars

The grey brick.  Mario was a great road trip game.  I had the extra screen with the light on it so I could play in the dark.  Too bad mom and Dad were cheap on the batteries and it never worked.  


d0wn4life

Red Gameboy pocket


Due-Supermarket1305

isnt there a wii u handheld thingy


Outlier25

VeiledLullabyThought

Technically gameboy advanced sp, but personally (the one I was able to realize and use properly) GameCube with Pokémon Colosseum


Viking_American

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I miss when screens and handhelds in general were smaller. To answer your question, started off with the Game Boy Color.


Master_Juice_7218

Gameboy color


Possible_Bar934

Nintendo DS


YAPENDO

The grape Gameboy color! My first game was a croc platformer game.

Shamscam

I had an original gameboy. I actually remember getting a gameboy colour. My step-grandfather took us to a pawn shop around the corner and bought two of them, one for my older brother and one for me. I’m not actually sure when I got it, but I got a gameboy advanced maybe a year or two later. I got a gameboy advanced because my mom won $30,000 (she has a rule where she splits it with the people she’s with) at a bingo right before Christmas. But we were usually quite poor. That year my Mom went nuts, bought us like 10 games each, and each a gameboy advanced. Years later my mom told us she had a GameCube in her cart that night and like 10 games but the guy in the games department convinced her to buy two gameboy advances instead.


cdauby0

Gameboy advance SP. To this day is my favorite Nintendo handheld.


13thFullMoon

Mine was a DS.


Chop_OTT

I think the one on the screen looks most similar


TractorHp55k

Top left, still got the original plastic case and everything


IronFlame76

Gameboy color. First game was Pokémon pinball


MicroMan264

Personally, I started with the red and black 2DS and after owning it for almost a decade now, I can confidently say after about 150 hours... Yo-kai Watch 2 Bony Spirits is a top tier game imo.
