I mean, I had a 3DS, but my childhood didn't start until the Wii U. Why? I had 5 games (counting Face Raiders) on the 3DS. Those games were Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Mario Kart 7, and Super Mario 3D Land. I only call my Wii U days the golden days and my childhood cause I owned a Red Box copy of Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario Maker 1. A Red Box copy of Mario games on the Wii U meant it was one of the later prints of Mario games. They used blue earlier. My top 10 tracks included Wii U, and the updated list is even better.
