Nintendo and me. Part III

 

Hello again, today's blog continues my journey with Nintendo.

In the previous blogs, I told you how I got my handheld consoles, and today, I'm gonna explain how I had my first home consoles. 

I remember the day Nintendo announced the Switch, I was very shocked because it was a hybrid console, you could use it on the go, like a handheld and you could also plug it into the TV like a home console. Since that day I started saving money as a crazy person; every income I received, I saved it for the Switch; my mom and my dad also helped for the cause. My aunt who lives in the United States would come to visit, so my mom sent her the money so she could buy the Switch there because it was cheaper than here. She also gifted me two games: Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Pokémon Let's Go Eevee. so I was very happy when it arrived, then I would save to buy my own games, mostly Pokémon. This year I sold some of the games I didn't use anymore (except the Pokémon games, never again) so I could modify my Nintendo Switch to play pirated games, it was hard for me but at the end it worth it.

Years later, the same aunt sent me money for my birthday, so I added my savings and decided to buy a Nintendo Wii U, this console was realized before the Nintendo Switch, it was the base idea of the Switch, to play games in handheld. The Wii U wasn't very popular, even though it was a successor to the famous Wii. I wanted to buy a Wii U because if I modified it I could play basically every Nintendo game from every previous console, like Wii, Gamecube, Nintendo 64, SNES, and NES; something I always wanted as a kid. So I did, I remember going to Metrocentro to bring my Wii U, then I had to wait because it was going to be modified, but finally I had it, and I've played so many games that I wasn't able to before. 

Also that year I bought another 3DS, the New 3DS XL, my mom helped me to buy it because she felt kind of guilty that my old 3DS didn't work anymore, it was already modified and I got a great deal for it. But with these 3 consoles, My inner Nintendo fan child and I are very happy, because I am able to play almost every Nintendo game I  always wanted to, so my journey with Nintendo is not over yet.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you enjoyed it. 

And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
