I think most of the people who grew up with Nintendo (like I did) would feel unconfortable playing Nintendo games on rival consoles. That having been said, I wonder where Nintendo would be right now if they decided to accept Sony's proposal of a joint venture between the two corporations in the mid 90s. |
Just the thought of playing Nintendo games on anything but a Nintendo system evokes feelings of extreme taboo. The video game world would definitely be different animal had the merger actually taken place. Who knows what might have been. Maybe we would all be gaming on the Atari Jaguar 5 right now.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
