The original Nintendo in all it’s glory was the connecting glue between my brothers and me as a gamer and a gaming community. The experiences with Zelda, Samus Aran, Mario, and co helped me get a grasp on stories, group play, and fun with family. We probably went through 3-4 NES’s through the system’s life cycle, and I can’t tell you how many hours were wasted blowing dust off the connectors just to get a game working.
Yeah! Metroid!
