Game consoles giving kid vibes...

Oh, I wanna talk about game consoles because I love video games. I grew up with some systems like the N64 and GameCube and Nintendo DS. Recently I got myself another Nintendo GameCube two years after selling my old one at a loss. I had my old one for more than 20 years. And really the GameCube gives me little boy vibes. That's why I'd love the GameCube. It reminds me of being a boy and playing games like super smash bros melee (best super smash bros. game ever)...
I'd like to ask any of you who love video games, what game consoles do you love that give you kid vibes?

I also grew up with N64 and Gamecube, and I still have them both. :3 I do not have my Gameboy Color anymore though. D:

I've seen some research that a lot of people associate childlike vibes with things that were around when they were kids. Of course, no studies directly interviewing or comparing MAPs or transage people to others exist, so it's demographically limited. I think of portable game consoles mostly as giving off kid vibes, mostly because parents monopolize television screens that other consoles use as displays, and especially now that phone games (as mediocre as they are) are more of a thing for casual or adult gamers.
