I'll raise a glass to that!
Back in the day I owned the original NES, moved onto a Genesis (remember when that was the system to have?), and then lost interest.  I just can't play the games today.  Too many buttons and there is just too much happening in the games.  I liked the games from the simpler times.  One thing that amazes me is the lack of creativity of the games.  Yes the graphics can kick ass, but the came concepts haven't changed.  I was thinking about this the other day -- the fact that if you play Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy to anyone in my age range the immediately picture falling blocks and where to place them.  It's true.  Tetris is one of the most simple, innovative, and yet enduring and creative games ever!  That is a game that will never get old.  I'm sure even when I'm old and crotchety I'll be in the old-folks home talking about walking into the waterfall and the cheat code for Contra (if I remember correctly).

which code?

Infinite lives: up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, A, B, select, start at the jungle demo screen

konomi code: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, B, A, Start

I have a QC and an N64.  I don't play them that much, but they are fun.  My last console before those two was an Atari.  It was actually my father.  The first year my parents were married (1981) it was his birthday gift.  Apparently I came out of the womb already knowing how to play Space Invaders.

Apathy:
I'll say one thing about Nintendo - I bet they're basking in the sweet taste of victory, knowing the mascot of their long-time rivals Sega had to reincarnate himself on their consoles in order to survive.  That was something I used to argue about as a kid at primary school - Whether we'd ever see Sonic on a Nintendo machine.  I lost.

Yeah thats the one.  Funny I don't ever recall playing the game, but I knew the code in case I ever did.  I still have my old NES console...I should try to resurrect it.

I picked up this DVD packed full of emulators and games, all that run on my Xbox.  So, I just HAD to fire up Mario 2, and own the fuck out of that.  Chortled like mad at Luigi's little legs.  Also realized just how fucking hard that game is.  Back when I was eight and playing it, I had NO problem making it do what I wanted to.  But in the intervening (horribly many) years, I got addicted to RPGs, RTSs and FPSs.  So, my ability to control a little dude/dudette and make them do what I want to just went out the window.  Took me a few hours to pick up some skills again.  Lots of fun, that stuff.
