      Given the age of my daughter and the evenings/nights and weekends we spent playing Mario Kart and Zelda with my wife when she was a baby, mine is definitely more than 15 years old yes 🧓
      My son recently bought a couple Need for Speed games, and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.

   The fact that these consoles still hold up today in hardware and game experiences is exceptional! Nothing will touch the Super Nintendo and Original.

   @zachleat Not only that, but their track record for backward-compatibility is also great. If they didn't change formats so often I'm sure they'd do even better on that aspect. (though it is quite profitable to re-release 🤑)

      @chriskirknielsen 100% — I have a few GameCube games that I play on the Wii! The Wii has GameCube controller ports on it, stock! 🤯

         @zachleat That is pretty wild! Doesn't the Switch also have a way to use the GC controller? I think it needs some adapter but still pretty good way to avoid buying a bunch of new peripherals when you get a new console. Gotta hand(held) it to Nintendo. 🙇

            @chriskirknielsen I don’t know! I wouldn’t be surprised!

   @zachleat this has made me realise that when it releases, the Wii will be closer in age to the Super Nintendo than the Switch 2 💀
