I’m in the middle of Spring Cleaning and I have to do the unthinkable. I have to say good-bye to my old 8-Bit NES.

I don’t want to. But I have no choice. I’m running out of room. The Smurfs are taking over. And it just doesn’t work anymore.

I hate to see it go. But it’s time. Thanks for the memories, 8-Bit Nintendo. We’ve had a lot of fun. We’ve played all kinds of games from Mario Bros. to Rescue Rangers. But we won’t talk about the M.C. Kids incident.

And now, rest well in Video Game Heaven. Say hi to the Dreamcast for me, will you?

Since I’ve obviously have been so Wii-happy, I have not thought twice about getting a Playstation 3, and in doing so, had created an unnecessary sort of disdain for the system.

I complained it had lack of titles. I complained all the different re-releases of the system were confusing. I complained that it’s a sting operation to make you like Blu-Ray over HD-DVD.

And then, a Christmas miracle occurred. I got one as a gift.

And you know, there’s something about getting a video game system for free that completely changes your thoughts towards it.

If you’ve seen my first vlog, “I’m a Black Nerd,” you know that at some point in my life, I’ve owned all the Nintendo systems… NES 8-bit, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy (Green-Screen, Color & Advance), GameCube, Wii.

I’ve owned every Nintendo system except one… not counting Virtual Boy because only 14 people owned that, I think.

And now my collection is complete. My roommate went to a taping of Deal or No Deal, and was surprised to find out it was a Christmas-themed show and they were giving away prizes.

Unfortunately, you have to pay taxes on everything you get, so she declined a lot of stuff (what is a black woman going to do with a Howie Mandel bobblehead, anyway?)

She called me up to tell me what she kept… a Roomba vacuum and such… then she said, “Oh, and I got this thing, I don’t know if you’d be interested in it. It’s a DS something…”

I pig-squealed. She had a Nintendo DS, and had no idea of the awesomeness she had!

She was planning to sell it on eBay, but after some intense negotiating and bartering, she got one of my old laptops (remember kids, a nerd always has a spare computer around), and I have the end of my Nintendo collection.

Oh wait, I guess I still have to get a Game Boy Micro, huh? But why?
