![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll never forget the summer nights before I left for University, 2 am with my Wavebird controller in my hands, chatting with my high school girlfriend while I worked my way down the mountain in SSX On Tour. 2 before I had to head to my high school classes. I would actually wake up a couple hours early so I could play NBA Street Vol. Weirdly, I ended up amassing a large collection of third party games, and poured hundreds of hours of Tony Hawk (3,4,THUG), and the SSX series (Tricky, 3, On Tour). Even Super Mario Sunshine was a standout for me on the system. I still have a soft spot for Luigi’s Mansion, and Melee was unbelievable. While my friends were playing Halo, I was playing through Metroid Prime and falling in love with the Metroid series. I finally received one as a gift a few months later (I think Christmas) with a copy of Luigi’s Mansion, and it was instant love. I mean, that dust that Luigi kicks up as he stumbles around the mansion…wow! I nearly wore that demo system out. I was a middle school kid who thought he’d seen the pinnacle of graphics. I’ll never forget going down to the our local Kmart in small town Montana every Sunday and playing the Luigi’s Mansion demo over and over and over. The GameCube and GBA were the systems that made me fall in love with gaming.
