Nintendo (Really, it’s a Playstation 2)
I prefer gameboy (really it’s a PSP)
I’ve actually turned into an Old Man and have referred to the Switch as “Gameboy” unironically.
The red Gameboy
The Virtual Boy?
Excuse me. It’s called “Mans Crowning Achievement to the Gods”, not just the virtual boy. Show it some respect.
Crowning achievement to optometrists maybe
I say DS for Switch on accident all the time. Like I just had such a good time with the goddamn DS. And yes, the fucking 3ds is also a ds. That was my youth and I’m too old to change monikers now!
Lol yeah I experienced this also.
In addition to ‘run down stairs and get a “coke”’ when In reality its a Dr pepper
Grandma: Calling all consoles “the Nintendo”.
I’m really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.
Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I’ve played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.
You mean the pokey-mans?
Yessss
I remember when the best NES emulator was NESticle. Hard to not pronounce it “ness” after that.
I say “N.E.S.”, but also “Super Nintendo.”
Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers!
Ah, Super Nintendo Chalmers, welcome! I hope you’re ready for an unforgettable luncheon!
Sness
Super N.E.S.
Go to your room this instant and think about what you have said!!
?
Same. Not sure if it’s generational, regional, or a combination of the two.
“Regular Nintendo” is redundant.
To me it’s just “Nintendo”. Everything after gets a subtitle.After the Super Nintendo came out, it really did become a term for differentiating which ‘Nintendo’ you might’ve had in the 90s.
I know too many people for whom „a Nintendo“ means a Nintendo DS. Perhaps a generational thing.
It absolutely is.
As a kid, everyone’s parents (boomers) called NES cartridges “tapes”. Considering their generation had a lot of experience with 8-track, cassette, and VHS/Betamax, it kind of makes sense. I guess every generation has this.
Yea, for my dad, everything you use a controller with is a PlayStation and every handheld is a gameboy. Funnily enough, he never had either one and I also didn’t have a PlayStation until I have moved out. The only noteable difference for him is the Sega Master System, because he did have that as a child.

My parents were very much boomers and I’ve never heard this. It was ‘games’ or ‘cartridges’,
Same for me and most people i know a nintendo is a ds(and the ds and 3ds are kinda the same for most of them)
There are undoubtedly people out there who still use “Nintendo” to describe literally any videogame system ever made.
Everyone I knew called/calls it the “nez”.
Same. Nez and Snez
Where does “The original Nintendo” fall on this chart?
Somewhere off the bottom, shaped like a deck of playing cards.
Intendo as the little kids might say
“8-bit Nintendo”
Sub Nintendo
Both subs and supras love
da good cartridge blowjob.They just didn’t though. You just enjoyed giving them
Is true.
Cheeky bastard ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Ifc! I need them cheeks for proper blowing action.
乁( ͠°👄 ͡°)ㄏ
Rough translation, but here it was “Ordinary Nintendo”, as opposed to the Super Nintendo
Yep, Nintendo ordinaire. Lol
I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the “Super Nintendo” we also had.
I … dont think I ever realised they called it Ness and not Nes.
Ness was first introduced on the Super Famicom. Though he only really got popular when Super Smash Bros came out on the NES64.
