Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 (N64) is a home video game console developed by Nintendo. The successor to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, it was released on June 23, 1996, in Japan, on September 29, 1996, in North America, and March 1, 1997, in Europe and Australia. It was the last major home console to use cartridges as its primary storage format until the Nintendo Switch in 2017. As a fifth-generation console, it competed primarily with the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn. - Wikipedia
Fun fact, I actually got this packaged with a Gamecube I found at a garage sale for 20$. The guy said it was broken, it wasn't. I took it down to it's bare components and found out that there was just a bunch of corrosion on the board. Cleaned it up with some alcohol, it works flawlessly now.
The N64 is one of my favorite consoles of all time solely because it has one of my favorite videogames of all time, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I've been trying to get my hands on that game for years, but I so happened to just find it's Japanese version (Hoshi No Kirby 64) being sold at a convention booth for 30$! And I am just so lucky that bypassing the the N64 region lock is surprisingly simple, and I was lucky enough to have some spare cartridges around from shit games that came with the N64 when I got it.
(I did not list those shit games because I have repurposed their carts hehe)

This one came with the system but I
kept it intact because it was one of my
dad's favorite games growing up. Otherwise I am not interested in it.
Nintendo Gamecube
The GameCube is a home video game console developed and released by Nintendo in Japan on September 14, 2001, in North America on November 18, 2001, and in PAL territories in 2002. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64, which released in 1996, and predecessor of the Wii, which released in 2006. As Nintendo's entry in the sixth generation of video game consoles, the GameCube competed with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's original Xbox.

I like to flex the fact I own the original Animal Crossing and Mario Sunshine games complete with their boxes and manuals. They are some of my prized posessions.

Gameboy Advance (SP)
The Game Boy Advance (GBA) is a 32-bit handheld game console developed, manufactured and marketed by Nintendo as the successor to the Game Boy Color. It was released in Japan on March 21, 2001, in North America on June 11, 2001, in the PAL region on June 22, 2001, and in mainland China as iQue Game Boy Advance on June 8, 2004. The GBA is part of the sixth generation of video game consoles. The original model does not have an illuminated screen; Nintendo addressed that with the release of a redesigned model with a frontlit screen, the Game Boy Advance SP, in 2003. A newer revision of the redesign was released in 2005, with a backlit screen. Around the same time, the final redesign, the Game Boy Micro, was released in September 2005.

One of my biggest regrets in my whole life was destroying my original Gameboy Advance. My dad thought it was a good idea to trust a destructive 4 year old child with a videogame console that could've been worth so much in the future.
Lucky for me (I guess) I was able to find a Gameboy Advance SP pearl white edition... somewhere.
I honestly prefer this model solely because of the backlit screen, despite it having a completely different design than the original model.
(Also listing my Gameboy games, because the GBA was backwards compatable. I don't own an original Gameboy anymore. I lost it somehow x_x)

Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is a home video game console developed by Microsoft. As the successor to the original Xbox, it is the second console in the Xbox series. It competed with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles. It was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information announced later that month at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
The Xbox 360 features an online service, Xbox Live, which was expanded from its previous iteration on the original Xbox and received regular updates during the console's lifetime. Available in free and subscription-based varieties, Xbox Live allows users to: play games online; download games (through Xbox Live Arcade) and game demos; purchase and stream music, television programs, and films through the Xbox Music and Xbox Video portals; and access third-party content services through media streaming applications. In addition to online multimedia features, it allows users to stream media from local PCs. Several peripherals have been released, including wireless controllers, expanded hard drive storage, and the Kinect motion sensing camera. The release of these additional services and peripherals helped the Xbox brand grow from gaming-only to encompassing all multimedia, turning it into a hub for living-room computing entertainment.- Wikipedia
The Xbox 360 was one of the very first home consoles I owned (others being the NES and Wii), and I spent SO many hours on here. I have so many memories with this console, almost more than others. Mainly because of all the great friends I made on here. Some of which I am still in contact with to this day.
(Shoutout to my brother of 10 years, Logan)
What a great console. It's a shame what Microsoft did with it.
I will not be listing all of the games I own because my current 360 is... broken. Well it's not broken but it doesn't power on for more than a few minutes without freezing. I can't take a look through my games library (most were digital download) because it freezes whenever I load that menu.
But I do have some physical copies, which I will list here...

Nintendo Wii
The Wii is a home video game console developed and marketed by Nintendo. It was first released on November 19, 2006, in North America and in December 2006 for most other regions of the world. It is Nintendo's fifth major home game console, following the GameCube and is a seventh generation home console alongside Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.
The primary controller for the Wii is the Wii Remote, a wireless controller with both motion sensing and traditional controls which can be used as a pointing device towards the television screen or for gesture recognition. The Wii was the first Nintendo console to directly support Internet connectivity, supporting both online games and for digital distribution of games and media applications through the Wii Shop Channel. The Wii also supports wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS handheld console for selected games. Initial Wii models included full backward compatibility support for the GameCube.

One of my (most) big regrets in life was selling my Wii and all of the games when I was young because I wanted to buy an Xbox. I will forever CRY over the fact I lost 20-30 games just for an Xbox of all things. What a dumb kid! I rebought a Wii a few years ago and it's hard trying to rebuild my collection especially since it consisted of almost all of the bigger titles, like Mario Galaxy 1 for example. I also had the Kirby's 20th Anniversary Special Edition Dream Collection, which I also sold because I was a DUMB CHILD.
I still have the manual though..? Sigh...

Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo, released globally across 2004 and 2005. The DS, an initialism for "Developers' System" or "Dual Screen",introduced distinctive new features to handheld games: two LCD screens working in tandem (the bottom one being a touchscreen), a built-in microphone and support for wireless connectivity. Both screens are encompassed within a clamshell design similar to the Game Boy Advance SP. The Nintendo DS also features the ability for multiple DS consoles to directly interact with each other over Wi-Fi within a short range without the need to connect to an existing wireless network. Alternatively, they could interact online using the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Its main competitor was Sony's PlayStation Portable during the seventh generation of video game consoles. - Wikipedia
As a kid, I would constantly lose my game cartridges at school or they'd be stolen by my cousin (who would steal mine to get back at me) so my mom had me sit down one day with him and write our initials on the cartridges so we couldn't lie about whos were whos. Most of my games to this day still have those initials on them, they let me know the date of the cartridges. and boy, some are old as hell.
Unfortunately I was a dumb kid so more than half of my collection is gone. (Rest in peace one of my favorite videogames of all time, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky, a game I had such fond memories with).
Excuse some of these... strange titles. I was a child once believe it or not!

Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo. It was announced in March 2010 and unveiled at E3 2010 as the successor to the Nintendo DS. The system features backward compatibility with older Nintendo DS video games. As an eighth-generation console, its primary competitor was Sony's PlayStation Vita.
The handheld's most prominent feature is its ability to display stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories, and offers new features such as the StreetPass and SpotPass tag modes, powered by Nintendo Network; augmented reality using its 3D cameras; and Virtual Console, which allows owners to download and play games originally released on older video game systems. It is also pre-loaded with various applications including an online distribution store called Nintendo eShop; a social networking service called Miiverse (shut down on November 8, 2017); an Internet Browser; the Netflix, Hulu Plus, and YouTube streaming video services; Nintendo Video; a messaging application called Swapnote (known as Nintendo Letter Box in Europe and Australia); and Mii Maker. - Wikipedia
Ah yes, the 3DS. The console I sold my DSi for, and spent most of my time in the AR applications because it was the only place where the 3D capabilities fascinated child me. Other than that, I never used the 3D feature, it gave me bad eyestrain and headaches. but the joypad thing was nice.

Xbox One
The Xbox One is a home video game console developed by Microsoft. Announced in May 2013, it is the successor to Xbox 360 and the third base console in the Xbox series of video game consoles. It was first released in North America, parts of Europe, Australia, and South America in November 2013 and in Japan, China, and other European countries in September 2014. Microsoft marketed the device as an "all-in-one entertainment system", hence the name "Xbox One". An eighth-generation console, it mainly competed against Sony's PlayStation 4 and Nintendo's Wii U and later the Switch. - Wikipedia
I got this console when it first came out because all of my friends had moved from Xbox 360 to Xbox One, and I felt lonely. I only played it for a year or two before I forgot about it entirely. I don't have many games for it and I no longer use it, so I'm not going to list anything here.
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch is a video game console developed by Nintendo and released worldwide in most regions on March 3, 2017. The console itself is a tablet that can either be docked for use as a home console or used as a portable device, making it a hybrid console. Its wireless Joy-Con controllers, with standard buttons and directional analog sticks for user input, motion sensing, and tactile feedback, can attach to both sides of the console to support handheld-style play. They can also connect to a grip accessory to provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be used individually in the hand like the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, supporting local multiplayer modes. The Nintendo Switch's software supports online gaming through Internet connectivity, as well as local wireless ad hoc connectivity with other consoles. Nintendo Switch games and software are available on both physical flash-based ROM cartridges and digital distribution via Nintendo eShop; the system has no region lockout. - Wikipedia
I'm not going to go on about my personal feelings towards this console. but I will mention that it is a shame Nintendo abandoned their signature Nintendo console feel for a more modern one. No home menu themes or music, no Miis. This is just a tablet that plays videogames.
Other than that, the games on this console are some of the best the videogame industry has seen in the past couple of years. (Minus Animal Crossing, what a disapointment that one was)
