Just a small indie game, not sure you've heard of it. It's pretty obscure and avant garde after all.

Christmas of 1991, NES + Zelda. Best day of my gaming life. In fact was the first day of my gaming life. First console, first game.
Little late.

Nintendo Power Hour
I still remember getting a Game Boy for Christmas in 92. Obviously I played it the most but my mom would play a good amount of Tetris on it.
I remember it was my freshman year of high school. Christmas morning came and my Dad got me a red Nintendo 3DS XL with Ocarina of Time 3D cartridge hiding in the slot. I was so happy that day and played it non stop for weeks. I took my 3DS literally everywhere I went. My love for Nintendo that year grew so much.
Merry Christmas
Hard to say if this is my favorite Nintendo holiday memory, but it's the one with the most interesting story. Fair warning, there might be more text than the typical comment.
My parents were good friends with another family in the area we lived in at the time. If they ever needed a sitter, they would usually drop me off at their place. They had an NES, so I always looked forward to visiting. This was my first exposure to video games, with Super Mario Bros. being the first game I played. I don't remember what year it was, but I ended up getting an NES 2 for Christmas. That was the end of life model with the top-loader. I was only familiar with the original model at the time, but I didn't care. I could play these games at home now. In case it wasn't obvious, this was the first game console I ever owned. Now is the part where the story takes a dark turn.
I had the NES for less than a year when I returned from grocery shopping with my mom to find our house had been broken into. The burglars were long gone by the time we got home, but the house had been ransacked. That's terrifying for anyone, regardless of age. It was even worse for me, because the NES had been stolen, along with all the games. This included one rental game. Only a few months into owning my first game console, and it was gone. If you've made it this far, keep reading. There is a happy ending to this story.
I never got the NES back, but my parents acted quickly to the situation. I think it was the day after the burglary that my dad took me shopping for a replacement console. My parents said it could be any one console of my choice, with a few games to get me started. That's when I saw the Super Nintendo bundle with Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World. Thanks to the multi-cart in that bundle, I ended up with five extra games that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Apparently, the multi-cart is also highly sought-after by collectors, now. I'll never sell it, though, because of what it represents for me.
The SNES became my favorite Nintendo console of all time, and held that title for years. The Switch is the first to rival it. It's weird to think that for as devastated as I was when my first game console was stolen, I wouldn't want to go back and change anything with this situation. Too many good memories tied to the aftermath.
Man, that must have sucked getting the NES stolen. Atleast you got to experience the SNES afterwards so thats good. The SNES was and still is one of my favorite consoles of all time! I remember the times of playing games like Super Mario World, Yoshi's island and Donkey Kong country 2 with my brother.
Good times!
I'm a simple man. I see Bill. *I click.*
Especially as a teenager we got to open one gift early. The year legend of Zelda Ocarina of time came out my parents lived in different States and I was going to visit my father for Christmas so my mom let me open 1 gift the night before the last day of school before Christmas break and it was Ocarina of time I spent the night in raw amazement exhausted the next day at school with nothing else on my mind

If you guys bring back the magazines I'll pay $60 for my first 12 month subscription. There is so much coming out for switch these days we need this. Not to mention Nintendo barely gets attention in game informer
I have many favorite Christmas gift memories but one that stands out was Super MARIO All Stars for SNES. I first saw the game in an issue of Nintendo Power and I instantly became obsessed. I begged my parents to buy it for me all holiday season. It was torture looking at the display cabinet at the store and seeing the game. On a side note the box art for the game is among my favorite. Christmas Day came and I got the game for Christmas among others and I was happy. Since then I’ve also bought the Wii 25th anniversary edition. I’d also like to request Nintendo to made a Super MARIO All Stars 2 with all the 3D Mario games in it.
Best memory was my super nes in 1994 under that christmas tree. And in 2001 when my GameCube under the tree.
also when i got super mario bros. 3 (super metroid in 94, and super mario all-stars
Mine would be that one time my mother utterly trolled me. I had asked for Mario Kart DS and saw that none of the presents' size matched that of a DS box. I was bummed out. I choose to open the largest one, only to find a... box of crispbread?!
... a few painful seconds later, I'm told to actually check out what it's inside, and there was the game x)
And that's how I realised which parent I got my more jerkish tendencies from ;)
I remember getting a Nintendo DS on Christmas, and I forgot what games I got with it on that same day, but my collection got really big, also didn't know you guys did podcasts, it's awesome! 😄😁👍
Nice to hear Peers voice again. Havent really listened to NVC since Jose left
I remember I wanted a Wii to play Epic Mickey. On Christmas, my parents got me Epic Micky and pretend they thought it was a CD-ROM game, only to actually give me a Wii. The same thing happened with my DS and 3DS
Bill? Bill?! Bill!?!?!? BILL?!?!?!?
One suggestion I would make for this podcast is maybe a little reward for those who listen in. Like a secret passcode or something that will get you a small amount of platinum or gold points for their Nintendo account.

I love Bill :D
Man, I can't wait for Super Smash Bros Ultimate!
With Picross, I got that Twilight Princess one 'cause I was like "oh hey, a free game" and then I was like "HOLY CRAP HOW CAN THIS BE SO GOOD!"
Awesome
One of mine was in 2002, getting Luigi's Mansion for Christmas. ^^
I skipped to 47:24,the hype is real ok.
This is my favourite podcast from now on.
It's the only podcast I listen to.
Please bring Zelda Picross and other Nintendo themed Picross to the Switch :D
I remember reading Game Players Magazine when Chris Slate was there, and to bring Bill and Peer on the podcast, this is such a treat. Thank you!

49:48 "Even without the Final Fantasy"
Ah yes, the two songs that totally top off the song track. Totally.

The kirby update is the best gift from nintendo! Really makes up from the disappointment that is smash bros.

powerrrrrful podcast
When I was young, we got a SNES and it was a magical time. We got it with Mario World and Mario Kart and I love both of those games to this day. Later on I remember getting a N64 for Christmas and that was the best gaming memory I've ever had. It was the greatest thing in history to play through Super Mario 64 for the first time.
