Never been into consoles much, I think the last one I owned was the original playstation.

HAHA yeah that happened ALOT Mario or Sonic... I liked both but I love animals alot so... haha Sonic was my thing =P

Kids at school at the time Super Nintedo and the Sega Genesis pratcally came out at the same time... so they were bashing Sonic or bashing Mario... most were Mario because one kid got his Super Nintendo and of course got Mario a HUGE hype sweep and they followed thier friends so me and this other kid were one of the few (in the school) to have the Sega Genesis haha!

We got ragged on ALOT! "We better than you! We got Super Nintendo and got Mario! Your lame for having Sonic." General type of thing =P I don't care I got my Mario games for Nintendo Entertaiment System got like up two three I think the one with Duck Hunt, Super Mario 2, and 3 which were all kick arse to play and I got my Sonics on Genesis...

Then of course as times moved forward new systems came out but we didn't really have the money to get it and was getting harder to get stuff for the original Nintendo (which is the only Nintedo one we had at the time) and then the Sega Genesis which was still releasing stuff... people get all these new systems and newer and better graphic games and rag on me for not "being with the times." glad they had money =P

We had money for a cartiage here and there... that is why I am probably so into Sonic HAHAHA! When my dad first brung home the Genesis he so happen to have Sonic the hedgehog being the first game to try out the new system and only that one cartirage for MONTHS for we needed money for other things so hahaha we played that game ALOT!! My sister liked Sonic but she didn't like how fast he was moving and had a hard time trying to controll him myself never had any problems

That and my durn sister yoinked the Nintendo to play the Zeldas that came out for that system and she was really having fun so I left her alone... Just as well little blue hedgehog was very distracting =P

It is funny in this house hold:

Got me of course who loves Sonic
Voradan loves Mario
My sister loves Zelda (Link)

Though Mario and Zelda both gots ALOT of unique items that Sonic doesn't have at all... like tin lunch boxes and custom stylest for the Nintendo DS with the characters on them... I was lucky to get my Shadow the Hedgehog controller built for the Play Station 2! It kind of sucks not having nearly as much collectible stuff as they do =/ but ah well I will take what I can get ^_^

As for what you said Zelzar, I know what you mean =( I do not think kids really enjoy it as much as we loved our consoles when we received them =/ I was very greatful for getting what little we got! Alot of fun... alot of good times... fond memories

I do want newer systems though alot of neat things and games coming out for them... contuinuation of the story lines from past games I played and still do play to this day... actually ALOT of games I want on the newer systems that and you can download original games from older systems to play for the Wii and I'd imagen for the Xbox 360

Exactly, I mean I go those systems but seriously, Its all about the graphics and not about the Fun and meaning, Yeah its cool to run around blowing stuff up and Killing massive amounts of things, but I remember a simple time where you played a console and you know what The Most buttons I needed was 2 to have a good time and then it was 3, then it was 6... now its like Okay hit your R2, L5, Left analog, with a slight tilt to the right an dyou can walk forward :p... and its like UO honestly i Only need 2 mouse buttons to enjoy the game ... well that and the keyboard for typing lol

Hahaha yeah I know what you mean! My PS2 controller has what?

Okay to Analog sticks which are ALSO buttons if you press down so that is 4 things already... 4 shoulder buttons... then 4 buttons on the right side and a D pad to move around for 2D games or something

So 13 total things?

I kind of like it that there is more buttons... more complexity in someways... but I know what you mean... when I first seen the controllers to the systems Voradan had that totally made me freak out! I was NOT used to that at all haha! I was all over the screen... I looked like a drunk! poor character... I do alot better now but yeah

-RMS Carpathia-

Hahhaa, Sure you wern't drunk? :p

I'm guessing someone messed up RMS's fuel to alchohol ratio

Hahaha! Hey now! I wasn't drunk at all... actually never been in my entire life

I just wasn't used to playing with ALOT of buttons to my controller and that Analog stick was the worst! first 3D game (on a console that is) ever with analog stick was on the Sega Dreamcast... Sonic Adventure 2... I died SO many times! Poor Doctor Robotnik >_<
