Yeah, Peppy crashing in to the homeworld was pretty dang intense. I couldn't believe it.

It was something I don't think anyone expected...which was nice.
Too bad it couldn't have been Slippy though...and the escape capsule not work... X_X;;

Yeah. And for Nintendo to do something that violent is kind of amazing.

And Slippy isn't that bad. .-.

1. Thinking I beat OoT after killing Ganondorf, only to find out I still had to fight Ganon.
2. Beating Super Mario Bros. for the first time.
3. Beating Bowser in the Sky for the first time in Super Mario 64.
4. Completely owning all of the bosses in Majora's Mask with the Fierce Deity's Mask. :P

My first Blue shell in Mario Kart :D

No? K, then beating Allegretto on SSBB when he was using Link.

No? Then finding Star Road on Super Mario World

Id have to say it was when I was a wee lad, and I had just stumbled upon me first battle with andross in starfox 64 with my Da', I paused the game and was cryin' from fear. The bastard scared meh for years to come. Now I own em every time I play, but the memory of me as a wee lad is still there.

How did that scare you? Was it Braindross?

Even braindross wasn't that bad.
I always hated the Forest Temple in OoT as a kid, and for some reason the Haunted Mansion in Mario 64 scared the bejeezus outta me when I was 5, but I quickly got over it.

Macawmoses · March 24, 2009, 05:13:26 PM

Yeah, but Braindross was at least acceptable.

Nintendo wasn't that scary.

But they sure as hell knew how to make atmosphere...something they really don't know how to do now.
It's amazing how Mario 64 and OoT/MM have more feel to it than any of the games after them...

Macawmoses · March 24, 2009, 05:24:54 PM

Yes, a proper atmosphere is something they were excellent at. The mood is what makes memorable moments.

I still say the Forest Temple was the ultimate in terms of their creative greatness at that. Even today that place gives me the chills. The outdated graphics kinda hurt it, but it's still better than most games today. I just want to know where this talent went in recent years. Only Galaxy has actually had that feeling on the Wii, and even then it's not as good as all those N64 games and Metroid Prime X_X;;

Screw you all, I was 8. I was scared of half the stuff in OoT and forgive me for being afraid of a giant head with a creepy monkey face and a creepy laugh. although the brain was even worse. I was so scared when he turned into a robot too............bahhhh.

Friendly Hostile · March 24, 2009, 06:43:04 PM

When I beat Kirby's Dreamland on the NES. It was the first video game I ever completed.

I can't even recall fully and with 100% certainty the first game I beat.

Communist Daughter · March 24, 2009, 08:56:19 PM

When I think of Nintendo memories I always recall Mario Bros for the NES. I don't remember the exact stage, but it was full of the little hammer brothers that toss assloads of hammers,killing me, and making me repeat the whole level. I hated them with great intensity, just thinking about them makes wanna go FFDUIBFUBUFDEUIFGVBUISGVJSGBUJAGB
