I vote in. It could be a great way to attract more Latinos that may not have seen the OT and also, a good way to show others who we are.

Cuban/Guatemalan American here. Am nothing like my parents culturally other than having rice every day. Whiter than many white people and I speak Spanglish very good.

Latinos can be white and red haired and afro. Welcome to the thread.
Ugh, job seeking is getting on the way of playing Odyssey, finishing Zelda or trying to get better at Splatoon 2.
Don't feel bad. I'm a born and breed Chilean and I've been mistaken of being from other Latin American countries or when I traveled to NY for an Italian, even when the guys at the Deli were from Argentina...
My 3ds backlog will take me into my elderly years. I usually jump into Devil Survivor (Shin Megami Tensei) to try to complete story mode. My copy of Y's 7 for Vita recently arrived and I probably will not be playing it until next summer.
Loving that title, haha.
Feel like I'm about to explode after all the Pan de Muerto I just ate.

Costa Rican here, rice and beans are on my daily diet... Whenever I go out of the country is the first thing I miss...
Creo que les es más fácil gramaticalmente pronunciar así las cifras, algo que ver con la sintaxis supongo.
La verdad si suena más sencillo decir 'eighteen hundred' que 'one thousand and eight hundred'.
Saw you quoted my post on the Día de Muertos thread, haha.

Please share your woes about gaming in your third world countries if you were raised in one. I will not lie that Piracy was a staple in the way I was shaped as a player. My first console was an Atari but my first REAL addiction was a NES clone called Nichiman. Nichiman was a NES clone that was actually distributed officially in Colombia if that makes sense.
Controllers were trashed and my brother had to open them and clean them in order for them to not suck.
My contact with the CES and E3 was the Club Nintendo magazine and this atrocity of a show (People have fond memories, but I simply thought it was too short and the content was not meaningful)
I remember watching this video in loop for a long time. I think I recorded this.
Now a Nintendo Switch costs a lot of money, 1'600.000 COP via official stores (that's 526 USD) but I was able to snag one from an importer at 361 Dollars. Quite a drop, but I think Gaming is now farther from the poorer kids. 361 USD is 120 USD above minimum wage. It's impossible for a little kid to get into gaming, unless they buy old shit, and now the NES clones are Basura.

I'll share my first contacts with gaming when I get home, I just stopped by to say I am obsessed with this song right now.
Seguro que alguien más las coleccionaba, puedo tener cerca de 100. Básicamente mi infancia resumida.
De niño las compraba, en la época del Gamecube. Recuerdo que andaba todo emocionado porque en una edición anunciaron el Nintendo Revolution (que terminó siendo Wii). Luego empecé a comprar Atomix (que la verdad no sé si la vendían fuera de México) hasta que ya dejaron de existir. Tenía algo de especial esperar mes con mes para leer los análisis y ciertos artículos especiales, a pesar de que en Internet lo pudieras encontrar al instante.
My first console was a NES clone known as Inteltron 7000
It was a weird ass console, similar to the actual Famicom but with the sameish grey/white color scheme of the original NES and with the permanently hooked controllers. As you mentioned, this consoles were sold in actual department stores and were announced as it were actually licensed and sold by nintendo.
A few time later i bought me an actual Famicom, er...... i mean an actual Famiclone, just as good as the original one with the Red/Gold color scheme, a shit load of games, pirate, of course. We always prefered the Famiclon games since sometimes contained stuff that the NES versions lacked or were cut/censored.
Club Nintendo was good, until the N64 were they became the mouthpiece of nintendo and everything was super for the console. Nothing bad ever happened for them.

YES
I had like 200 of these. They are lost in time
Niño.
Gamecube.
Estoy viejo.
Esperar un mes completo para los artículos del CES y E3 era lo mejor.
Acá en Chile, en la época del PS1 y la N64, era mucho más común tener Play 1 por lo fácil que era piratear los discos. Incluso, en el supermercado de mi sector, había un local que vendía juegos pirateados a vista y paciencia de todo el mundo. Y como mi papá quería ahorrar, tuvimos una Play 1, pero tuvimos puros juegos en japonés o los juegos de Disney.
Eso sí, mi primera consola fue el GBC, que venía con una versión en español del Pokémon Rojo. De ahí en epadelante puros juegos en inglés.
También debo haber tenido unas 100 de esas, siempre las compraba especialmente en la época de la E3. Las tuve que botar hace unos años eso sí porque ya me quitaban mucho espacio. Pero recuerdo de forma especial la primera que tuve, que venia con los tips para conseguir todas las monedas especiales en Súper Mario Sunshine y desbloquear el 8vo Shine por nivel.

I don't know what happened with my collection...
Ah, cómo recuerdo esa revista. Cuando era niño siempre le pedía a mis padres que me la compraran.

Sometimes I listen to the Atomix Podcast and it's not a bad bunch. Not as good as the american outlets tho.
Now, this spanish fanzine was great and it had loads of content. It had a cd with lots of videos, before broadband was massive. Shame it died.

Hey, guys, what's up. Mexican-American here who was a late bloomer in really appreciating his culture. Like, really appreciating it instead of just taking it for granted.
My hope is to perfect my Spanish, both verbal and written. Obviously, it was my first language--I speak it, I understand it--but eventually I stopped learning and using it, so it never got past elementary status.
I get self-conscious when I speak Spanish because I definitely have a slight accent, and I notice it. I also get tripped up in forming sentences and conjugating on-the-fly (again, limited vocabulary, at least compared to English), so I seem like more of an asshole in Spanish because I'm curt so as to not embarrass myself, haha.
I've upped my intake of media in Spanish (recently played The Evil Within 2 completely in LatAm Spanish) and visit/watch Atomix from time to time (especially to hear them talk). It helps that I find Claudio to be super handsome :P.
Anyway, that's my intro. I'll definitely check this thread whenever I can. I'm already digging that I saw some posts in Spanish.
