I started gaming with the Game Boy Advance, which I got with Pokémon Crystal. Since then, I've always been a Nintendo fan. Some of my favorite games are Mario World, Brawl, and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, but it's pretty hard to decide on a favorite since there's so many games I love...I'll play most kinds of games as long as they're good, but some of my favorite genres are platformers and rhythm games. I play mostly Nintendo games, but I'm open to other games too, and I'm also more of a console gamer; I rarely play PC games except for the occasional smaller Steam download. I don't really care for most sports games, MMORPGs/MOBAs, most FPSes or more realistic racing games, but I enjoy most other genres.
