I finally splashed out on one.
Yes - I have bought the new Nintendo console.
Family and friends shouldn't really be surprised. I have bought a new Nintendo every time they have released one.
In 1992 I bought a Super NES after spending the early part of my life playing on either an Atari or my Commodore 64. One of the things I bought with my first wage packet in 1997 was a Nintendo 64. Five years later, I spent my birthday money on a Nintendo Game Cube.
And then I decided to end it there.
Or so I thought.
In the late part of last year I started watching the adverts for the new machine and was interested in it. It was taking gameplay into a new direction and I wanted to be a part of it.
It was a bit of a wait, though. The shops have been sold out for ages and I gave up wanting one. I had been oohing and aahing about buying one for the last month or so but felt that yesterday was the day.
I'm not sure how long the phase will last. It didn't take long for me to get bored with the Game Cube. I have a six year old nephew this time, though. I am sure that will prolong the enjoyment. It's for him as well... That's my story anyway.
