Question for /v/irgins born in 1997: did you grow up moreso with Millennial consoles and games like PS1, PS2, N64, Gamecube, and Xbox huge? Or Gen Z consoles and games like the Wii, PS3, and Xbos 360?
>>
PS2/GC era. 1997 is far too young for PS1 or before.
>>
Early millennial here
You forgot pogs
>>
>>377212257
>im not a millennial

oh nice
>>
I was born in 98, I grew up with a hand-me down SNES from my cousin. I don't think I bought a PS2 until I was older and the PS3 was already out.
>>
>>377212429
Not if you were poor. I remember some kids still had PS1s from 2000-2004.
>>
I was more of handhelds with GBC and GBA. Didn't get too much into consoles until Wii era, then went back to older consoles i.e PS2 GNC
>>
>>377212257
99
I had an N64 and a SNES until I got a Wii.
Mostly PC now.
>>
97 here.

Played a N64 but it was considered last gen then.
Mainly gamecube and PS2 though I have more hours clocked on ps3
I remember waiting in line for hours when the Wii came out.
>>
>>377212257
1997/1998 people seem to have grown up with both PS2/GCN/XBOX and then Wii/PS3/360 judging by myself and my friends.
>>
98 here
I initially grew up with a PS2 in which the only games were Final Fantasy 1 and 2, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, CTR, and a couple of the early CODs that I never got around to playing, as well as some PS1 games. Also had an SNES and a Gamecube.
When I was 7 or so we got a PS3 and around that same time we got a Wii
>>
>>377212257
1997
first console was a N64, then I got an Xhuge but I also remember owning a Dreamcast at some point
>>
>>377212257
I grew up playing ps1/megadrive i was like 3 or 4. Played ps2/wii. Then in my teens played ps3.
>>
>>377212257
96. GameBoy Advanced Sp, Sega Mega Drive and PS1 were my top-3 childhood
>>
>>377212257
Left Category is Gen Y, and Gen Z IS millennials.
>>
>>377212257
Gamecube then Xbox360
>>
>>377214487
the most widely accepted definition of millennial is someone who was born before the turn of the millennia and reached adulthood afterwards
>>
>>377212257
>tfw 90's still grew up with snes, sega mega and old school PC games thanks to my older brothers
>>
>>377212257
Honestly all over the place. Born 1995, but first consoles were N64 and OG GB.
If anything, Late Millennial seems the most accurate for me.
>>
>>377212257
Given that PS1 was 94 millennials are way too young for that to be considered their console.

>But I'm poor

Doesn't count. Some kids have no Vidya at all, doesn't mean games popular in 1880 are considered "their games".
>>
1999 here, parents were fundamentalist christians so i had a DS and some flash games until 2013 when i got a wii u. played my neighbor's gamecube a ton though
>>
>>377214572
Not that guy but the millennial definition is pretty retarded. Who possibly thinks that someone born in 85 and someone born in 97 had similar childhoods?
>>
1994 here.

I have a mix of mostly the first panel but some of the first like Samurai Jack, Bionicle, Yugioh, WoW instead of runescape, and a Gamecube instead of a PS2
>>
>>377212257
I was born in '95 and i grew up with a PSOne and a GB, that is to say that i got these bad boys while i was 10 or something and being poor doesnt help any. I remember how i was blown away when i first saw Pokemon Gold and IN FULL COLOR. Oh i also had one of those bootleg NES clone consoles. Its either that or my humbleness that got me to like old games. Legend of dragoon is my favorite and greatest PSX RPG of all time. fucking shit wont let me post with a pic what the fuck?!

Why are the bonkles in this image from G2 (Which was from last year), when in the context of the picture they're supposed to represent G1?
>>
>>377212257
96 here, but grew up in Russia, so:
>Chinese Megadrive as first console
>Then hacked PS1 from a friend
>Then PSP
>Then PS3 during 14+
>>
>>377212257
97 friend here.
I grew up with the Nintendo 64, and even after getting the Gamecube/PS2 I'd still pop my 64 every now and then and play some Smash 64, Mario Party 3 and Banjo. (Also late in my childhood I would get into an obscure hobby known as retro game collecting)
My household had a PS1,SNES and Dreamcast as well but I don't remember ever using them.
Of course the Wii came out when I was in 3rd grade so I could say I grew up with that as well. My most fond memories were playing (and modding) Brawl and Mario Kart with friends. Didn't own a PS3 until I was in 7th grade though, so I wouldn't really say I "grew up" with it.
To this day I haven't played an Xbox 360 for more than 5 hours.
>>
>>377212257
>Born 80s
>Early millennial

Come on now...
>>
96, got a snes as first console, then climbed up the PlayStation ranks starting with 1
>>
>>377214315
>When I was 7 or so we got a PS3
This hurts on a physical level
>>
1997 fuckboy from poor country here. Mostly played piratet\bootleg pc games up untill 2011 or so. One of few well gnown titles that i played was WC3
>>
>>377215104
well how close knit do you want them to be? Someone born in 93 isn't going to have nearly the same childhood as someone born in 97 either
>>
>>377214487
>im not a millennial
You are, you fag.
>>
>all these young fags
haha 93 here
>>
97 here

main consoles were a ps2 and a gamecube, eventually got a xbox 360

also played my sister's n64 a bit
>>
>>377212257
Born in 90's
The Weekenders was the shit.

>1987
>Recognize every thing in my category.
>>
1997 here. During my early childhood my older brother gave me his PS1 and N64 and later I got a Gamecube so a lot of my early memories in regards to vidya are early milennial. But everything else was mostly late millennial with a little bit of gen z at the end.

Does anyone else miss staying up all night watching cartoons during comfy summer nights when Cartoon Network aired 24/7 instead of having adult swim?
>>
>>377212257
Born in 1997 here.
I've had the NES, Sega, ps1, ps2 since my dad bought them and like to play them, I still have them on the present day.
From the Gen Z as you said, I have the ps3.
>>
>>377215747
>1997
>Recognize everything in your category and barely half the shit in mine
>>
>>377212257
1997, I had a PS1 and a Gameboy(gbc later on), then ps2 and gba, then ds and wii and later ps3, basically stuff from all eras you listed
>>
>>377212257
I was 98, and had an older brother who was 8 years older than me. So I grew up playing PS1/N64 games. I also got a bunch of his toys and carried over a lot of his tastes for my own.

Late millennial is definitely the era I'd call the Golden age of my childhood though. my brother and I shared a PS2, GameCube, and Xbox Hueg.
>>
Wow, this thread is proof that the rest of 4chan is right when they say /v/ is just a bunch of underage faggots with no responsibility.
>>
>>377215747
>1988
Fun times
>>
>>377215717
>tfw 24 but look 14
working at a booze store is suffering whene everyone asks you if youre old enough to drink
>>
>>377212257
PS1, emulated N64, emulated GBA and a DS. Later on I got a Wii and a PSP
>>
>>377216157
none of these people are underaged, people born in 1997 are 20 years old now, and 1998 are turning 19.

All of this was bound to happen just as people born in 1993 were on 4chan in 2012.
>>
>>377215747
>1998
>recognize everything in every category
wow!
>>
>>377212257
>born in the 80s
>still count as a millennial

I don't want this
>>
>>377212257
This is retarded. 'Born 80s - early 90s' are the same 'culture'? So kids born in 1980 experienced the same culture as kids born in 1993?
>>
>>377212257
how many times are you gonna post this?
>>
>>377216545
My brother was born in 1984, he watched ren and stimpy, and his childhood was defined by the SNES even though he had an NES.
>>
96 here
started with a ps1 and a dreamcast, later ps2, 360 in teens then PC
played runescape a fuck ton too though
>>
99 here.
Grew up poorfag with n64 and PS1 until around 2004 when i got a ps2 and gamecube. No one i knew had a 360 or PS3 until around 2010.
>>
>>377215225
third world doesn't mean shit in this conversation
>>
>>377216545
80 and 93 is reaching. A kid born in 87 and a kid born in 91 are probably going to have a pretty similar upbringing, especially because anyone born before the late 90's would have been conscious during the infancy of the internet and before the mass adoption of cell-phones and the like.
>>
>>377216663
The big difference between kids born in the early/mid 80s and kids born in the early 90s was the Internet. I didn't grow up with the Internet, and it wasn't really a thing until I was in my early teens. If you were born in the 90s, the Internet was always a thing, and you don't know a world without it.
>>
>>377216435
Post 1995 will always be underage.
>>
>>377212257
I find it weird when people list the shit they played when they were around 5 to 9 years old or something as their defining childhood experience
Born in '92 here and while I started on our family pc with Sierra adventure shit, a brick GB then later a Color and N64, I definitely think it wasn't until I was 10 or 11 when I got a PS2 and started really doing shit on the internet and understand games that I would call my formative years
>>
>>377215225
If you live in america and dont have food and sheltrr youre not poor, youre retarded.

>>377216982
that doesn't make sense grandpa

>>377215835
>cartoon network 24/7
When you were three?

Adult swim started in 2001
>>
>>377217031
If you live in America you are retarded
>>
>>377217107
Joke's on you.
I'm from '99.
>>
>>377212257
I grew up with a post-commie NES knockoff that my mom bought before I was even born, later I played Warcraft 2 and 3 and the Gothic series on PC, even later we got an XB360 and I played the fuck out of Halo 3
>>
>>377216157
>>377216435
I've been here since I was 12. Born in 96. I'm about to turn 21. I barely get on here since I went to college and got a job. Felt weird saying I was born in 96 in a post because I was so used to being underage.


DBZ ran through 2004 on its original run on toonami. Most of the shows on the left, I remember watching on reruns and I played my brothers old stuff like snes, and n64. The only thign I even touched on the right box is 360/wii, iphone and the regular show.
>>
>>377212257
I had a Gamecube and PS2, but I mostly played PC RTSes and RPGs like Starcraft, Neverwinter Nights and Diablo.
>>
93 here wasn't allowed vidya in the house so I went pc gaming
I now own a 3ds but have barely played it cause no time
>>
>>377217014
I was born in 88 and Kick Master and Contra was my defining experience that shaped up my love for specific genres of video games.
>>
>>377212257
I grew up with a mixture of both. Started playing Xbox and Gamecube when I was younger, and later on started playing on a 360 and a Wii. I ended up playing the 360 the most before moving on to the PC in 2014.
>>
>1993
>recognize most of the left, have fond memories of a few of them, snes was my first console, pkmn red was my first game I didn't share with the rest of my family
>recognize all the middle, have fond memories of most of them
>recognize all the right, have fond memories of none of them
>>
86. The only popular culture things I recall actually liking growing up was lego, ninja turtles and marbles. The rest was just mild interest.
>>
>>377212257
My first console I played was the Xbox. My parents were very restrictive about how much computer/TV time I had, so I mostly played it over at my friend's house. I got the 360 and the Wii, which I had a ton of fun playing with my friends, but mostly I played flash games on PC. Newgrounds, Miniclip, and AddictingGames were the SHIT.

Also, Club Penguin and Wizard101 were the games I've probably invested the most hours into out of anything, ever. I really miss the early days of those MMOs.

>>377218212
I grew up watching the original run of Yu-Gi-Oh!, so I didn't see much of Dragon Ball until Z Kai came out. I remember thinking Vegeta was really cool, but I always liked Kaiba better. He had this supreme confidence and charisma that Vegeta could never hope to match.
>>
97

Consoles were (and still are) a big no-no for me, so I played whatever flash games I could get my hands on back then. Also emulated pokemon and played them for months.
>>
>>377212257
The PS1 and the N64 first.
I had already ten years of gaming before getting a Wii, so I don't think I can say I "grew up" with the 6th gen.
>>
>>377212257
>left
>recognize only DBZ and Blockbuster from childhood.
>middle
>recognize spongebob, runescape,bionicle, beyblade, Samurai Jack, Yugioh, American Dragon, Kim Possible, Ben Ten, and Teen Titans
>Right
>Recognize Wii, 360, Chowder, Flapjack, Hannah Montana, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Phineas and Ferb, and Angry Birds.

But why, OP, why in the holy mother of god is Avatar: The Last Airbender not in the far right? It was THE biggest kid's show back then, bar none. Everyone at school was talking about it. You have the movie Avatar, so where's the show?
>>
So this is why /v/ has gotten worse, so many kids
