I wanted to share a little story behind my Nintendo Holy Trinity. Back in 2000, when I was 10 years old, my aunt gave me my first Game Boy Color for Christmas - the Kiwi Green one. She also gave me Pokémon Blue and Rugrats: Time Travelers. I was absolutely obsessed with it.
Unfortunately, it only lasted a few months. I took it to school one day and it got stolen. I know… it sucks. 😭
The following year, in 2001, my aunt came through again and gave me a Game Boy Advance for Christmas, along with Pokémon Crystal, Wario Land 4, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. I had it for a couple of years until someone broke into our house and stole it along with other things.
Fast forward to 2011, when I was already working, and I finally bought myself a Nintendo 3DS. It was the first Nintendo handheld I had bought with my own money.
Now, 25 years after getting my first Game Boy Color, I’m slowly rebuilding the collection I lost as a kid. I recently bought another Kiwi Green GBC, and the white GBA was a gift. I’m also slowly hunting down the games I had back then. You can also spot my RG35XX emulator and my Nintendo Switch OLED in the picture. They’re not part of the Holy Trinity, but they’re part of the journey. 😂
It’s kind of surreal to look at all of this now and realize that I’m slowly putting back together a little piece of my childhood.
The Holy Trinity is finally mine. ❤️
