Christmas back in 2014, the Wii U had just come out two years earlier, and I wanted it more than anything in the world. I didn’t ask for it because it was really expensive at the time at around $200-$250, and for a 12 year old kid that's a lot of money into one present. I had the Wii and my favorite game on it was Super Smash Bros Brawl. I played that game nonstop all the time because I loved it so much, and when the Wii U came out, they announced a new Smash Brothers game for both the new console and the 3DS, which I already had, I was really excited. So I just asked for the game on the 3DS, and mom and everyone else said the classic “I’ll think about it” or “We’ll see”. Come Christmas time the last box I had to open was a larger one than expected and oh boy was I excited. My mom had pulled her phone out and started recording the unboxing, and caught my reaction to actually getting a Wii U the same Christmas I had asked for it. She still may have the video somewhere, but I was crying so much, it was the first time I ever remember crying from pure happiness in my entire life. I still have the Wii U in my closet to this day, and it’s still in workable condition. There was a game that came out in 2018, 4 years after I got my Wii U, for the Nintendo Switch which came out in 2017, and surprise surprise, it was a new Smash Bros game. I didn’t have enough money to buy the game when it came out, so my mom recommended I sell the Wii U. I had told her no, because that console has, believe it or not, done so much for me in 4 years time, and I stand by this statement to this day, I will never willingly give that thing away.
