Board with gaming or will it comeback?
I have been playing games since I was a young child and used to play hours a day on the Genesis, N64, GB, GBA PS1, and GC. This past gen my family ended up with all 3 home consoles and I played a ton of great games mainly on the Wii specifically.
When the 3DS was released, I got it about 2 weeks later and was very excited to play many of the games that were announced. My most anticipated games were Paper Mario SS, Resident Evil Revelations, Animal Crossing NL, Super Mario 3DL, Mario Kart 7, and Luigi's Mansion DM. The Bolded were the only games that I ended up buying so far and I only played about an hour of RE, and played MK7 significantly less than I had thought, despite owning both for over a year. New Leaf was easily my most anticipated game for the 3DS and I've been waiting years for its release...but...now that it's finally out...I just don't seem to care. It kind of just looks boaring to me.
As for the next gen consoles, I was excited to see what Microsoft has done with Kinect but I'm not impressed. Sony has made the PS4 the best they possibly could realilisticlly but I'm still not excited. As for the Wii U? I like all the games they have shown at E3 and actually support Mario's direction with 3DW but it doesn't make me wish I had a Wii U. Even Pikmin 3, the game I've been wanting to play since 2006 is doing nothing for me.
Recently, I've been only playing IOS games on my mobile devices and that's about it. I play an actual system game about once every 2 weeks when people come over for like an hour. The last new game I bought was in November.
Do I just need to buy a new game even though I'm not excited by it? Do I need a new system? What do you guys think?
