Think you're a Nintendo fanboy? Make sure you have all these essentials in your collection.

Fandom 101

So, do you fancy yourself a Nintendo fanboy? Nintendo has been around long enough to garner an insanely large worldwide following, long before it became popular to own a DS or Wii. Despite a rough patch of years when Nintendo lost its standing as the premier game publisher, "Nintendo" used to be a household synonym for "video games." If you count yourself as one of the Nintendo elite, it's going to take more than having a Miyamoto shrine in your bedroom. With such a long history in the industry, you're going to need to add these items to your collection.

this list is ok...except the fact that its hard to come across a lot of this stuff. but, i remember these game daily retards saying that cosplay is stupid, and that no one cool does it. i dont, personally but i remember. they also said that being a nintendo fan boy (which i am) is bad in that same article. make up your minds game daily...or better yet just get off the internet entirely

" I wonder what Ganon's up to"- Link, Legend of Zelda CD-i. The way he says it is sooo.... weird. Usually, heroes say that with a biterness, but Link says it as if he was daydreaming. It was a weird game, but somehow addicting. And lalarama, that's cool. I'm not a Nintendo fangirl or anything. But the one with the Mario arcade game was hilarious. So was the Cosplay. The Link impersonater scared me at first... Lolz.

Rofl. OMG. Super Scope = best thing in the world. I remember, a couple years ago, my cousin, brother and I would play like army or something of the sort, and they'd get the toy guns, and I'd end up using that. Watching Captain N right now. It reminds me of the CD-i Zelda thing. I can't wait to bomb some dodongos! OMGGGGG. Cosplay. My cousin made my grandma make him a Link outfit two years in a row. The first year I went as Zelda. It was a pretty cool outfit, except I couldn't take my glasses off, I'm practically blind. I refused to wear the ears that my mom bought me though, rofl, they itched alot. I was like.. seven though. First grade or something. I had a Halloween party, and my cousin and i posed alot. Then something about finding bones up stairs, but that has nothing to do with nintendo. O:
