TLDR: Every video game system I’ve ever owned.

My first gaming system ever was a game boy pocket, and the cut scenes that played out at the start and ending of the Zelda game took my breath away. I remember wondering if we’d ever see full cartoons on a gameboy. (They actually did for GBA.)

I eventually got an N64 and actually got made fun of by my step brother because I used to disconnect it, put it back into its packaging, and up into my closet every time I was done playing it. Even though I had worked all summer to buy it for myself, we were never financially secure and I couldn’t convince myself that I really had the right to completely enjoy it. At least not until I got used to owning it.

With GameCube, the feeling of the controller blew me away, and I adored the size of the disks. The cut scenes in Tales of Symphonia were like actual anime and I just couldn’t handle that it was coming from my video game system. I used to take it to a friends house so we could watch in awe together.

The Gameboy Advance was first time we could have anything like a SNES in our pockets, and I got the SP, which was a clamshell and oh so pocketable! But imagine what it was like to play a DS for the first time. Not only did had a port of Super Mario 64, but it had an entirely second screen, and it was a touch screen! That little guy was awesome.
