24 Nintendo Memes That'll Take You Back

If you landed on this page, then you probably have a very specific version of Nintendo living rent-free in your head. Maybe it's the GameCube era, the Wii days, or the DS Lite with the matching stylus that somehow always got lost. Whatever it is, Nintendo is a core memory.

Growing up, my cousin was the biggest Nintendo geek I knew. He flew through games faster than I could even figure out the controls. Every birthday, he asked for nothing but GameStop gift cards. This worked out great for me because once he beat every level, he'd pass the games down to my grandma. She had a first-gen Wii (also previously my cousin's) that became the ultimate grandkid entertainment system when we'd visit.

I was just visiting her recently, and even though we're all well into our 20s and 30s now, she never got rid of the community Wii. We went full nostalgia mode, busting out the OG Super Mario Party, Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros, even Wii Sports. And you know what, it still holds up. Whether you still game or just want a blast from the past, these 24 Nintendo memes will take you right back.
