I WAS on the fence between PS4 and Wii-U simply because I grew up a Nintendo kid in the 80's and have owned every console they've released, AS they released them. But I just can't do it anymore. I've realized that it's just, not the same company I fell in love with in the 80's and 90's. The days of OOT are over. They're no longer either willing or able to create games, CORE games, that blow our collective minds. There was a time, between 85-'00 when this was the case, but no more. The last game I can remember was Metroid Prime, and that was what? 11 years ago?
I realized that my fascination with them is now all nostalgia. To this DAY, when I hear the theme to Metroid, Zelda, Mario and Donkey Kong Country, I stop in my tracks and drift off into some memory induced childlike trance. But that's all it is, memories. They were AMAZING memories, but you can't put your arm around them.
I'll always have my NES,SNES,N64,Gamecube to play but, that's where it ends. Its' time to say goodbye. |
i really, REALLY hate comments like this. it's the same old Nintendo. idk what the fuck makes you think something's changed

On NES, they basically INVENTED the modern industry. On the N64, games like Mario 64 and OOT changed the way we think of hard core games and gameplay mechanics. During that stretch, they were at the forefront of this industry, umatched. That's no longer the case.
What CORE game has had the impact of Mario 64 or OOT, since then? I can't think of one single title. Sure, there's been a lot of great games, and I've purchased most of them, but that's all they were, great games. They don't reinvent the wheel anymore. They don't release anything hard core anymore that changes the very definition of "core".
That magic is gone.
