What's up, gamers? As someone that grew up in a PlayStation household, I experienced the world of Nintendo during sleepovers and dorm room hang outs. I was always envious of my friends' Super Mario Party skills. I always came last in Mario Kart, and I was always incredibly useless at Smash Bros. However, I always thoroughly enjoyed the experience — even if I never quite got the hang of the three-pronged controller. In my teen years, I had the pleasure of experiencing Harry Potter games through a Wii, which was so incredibly immersive that I consider it to be a core memory.
After a lifetime of enviously side-eyeing classmates with Game Boys and Nintendo DSs, I've had enough. Now that I'm an adult with big girl money, I've bought a Switch and have spent the better part of the last four days playing Animal Crossing, chatting with adorable islanders, DIYing recipes, and accumulating Nook Miles. Whether you've been a Nintendo fan since the NES came out, or you only recently hopped on the bandwagon, enjoy these memes for gamers of all ages!

Maybe I’m a bad host, but I wouldn’t let guests anywhere near these special Kirby cups, lest they shatter into a million pieces.
