Nintendo retro collector discusses his amazing collection
A portion of a Nintendo Life interview with Aaron "NintendoTwizer" Norton...
N: You've amassed an amazing collection of classic Nintendo games. When did you start collecting, and what inspired you to do so?
AN: I’ve always collected something. From an early age it was pennies, rocks, keys, baseball hats and so on. Displaying and acquiring “collectable” items has always been part of my personality. I’ve also been gaming from a young age. I was never a kid who traded in games when I was done with them, I’d just stick them on my shelf. About four years ago I discovered an online classic gaming forum. I was amazed at the amount of people who were still passionate about these dusty old systems and games. This really sparked my interest. From there I began searching out games online, at thrift stores and garage sales.
