Honestly when I have kids of my own, i want them to play beautiful stories like tlou and other games like it so they can learn something from it. I won't feed them Nintendo games.

So you want to feed your kids with heavy stories, tension, blood and violence, instead of colorful, positive, very fun games without blood and violence!?

OK, then. :)

Dont feed the trolls xD

Nice article.
The only thing I didn't like about it was how he completely wrote of an entire base of gamers.
"In fact, I couldn't even understand how any grown person could be into Nintendo stuff".

Why I chose that quote is simply because not everyone will like everything. But don't "downplay" the ones that do, whatever console or game that it's regarding. What ever works for the person in question is good enough, no need to "bash" any fanbase because of other peoples preferences =)

He's NOT trolling. He's proposing to raise his kids on thinkgs like Shakespeare, the Bible, and pre-Disneyfied folk tales. I approve!

And what after that, if again Nintendo steal him back with new console and games from PS4 or XboxOne!?

I don't see your point, he will play whatever he wants to play.

True, lol. He just seems like any gamer that gets tired of the same games again and again and want to try new things after a while. 

Point from this story is that he didn't play Nintendo games 23 years because "he thought they are childish and not mature", and when he become dad he tryed  Nintendo games and enjoying Nintendo games again.

There's nothing wrong with raising children on old and more sophisticated stories like Shakespeare, folk tales, and more contemporary fantasies like Tolkien or C S Lewis.  What I don't get is the idea perpetuated that it's one or the other:  seriousness or fun.  Why not both?  For me, that's what I like about Nintendo as a whole.  I can go from Kirby to Smash to Xenoblade to Fire Emblem.  And then I can go outside Nintendo to other games like Skyrim, BioShock Infinite, Shogun 2 Total War.  There's no need to limit a child's experience to only "serious" stuff.  There's value in relaxing - and yes, even silly - fun.

yeah i agree with you, i dont think its wrong raising your children more culturally, i know im gonna do that, thats not what i was referring to, i was weirded out to say how he came to shakespear and bible from what i said xD and what he said earlier,  it didnt make sense to me, so i thought he was being sarcastic
