Nintendo’s Single Biggest Problem
"When I was a kid, I could have possibly been considered a Nintendo fanboy. However, even firmly entrenched in the Nintendo camp, I was still a huge admirer of other games and consoles, particularly Sega. I had long admired and wanted the TurboGrafx-16 and Neo-Geo AES as well, and the first games I played were on the Atari 2600—so you can tell I’ve been doing this for a while. I was never solely interested in anything Nintendo did, as I was fascinated by all gaming. Sometime around my teen years, during the Playstation-N64 years, my pseudo-fanboyism started to die off. For a while, I actually lost interest in video games (it wasn’t a very long while), and for a part of this time, I bought my first non-Nintendo console—the original Playstation. Largely, because of Tekken 3. These days, I am a collector, a developer, and beyond thrilled to be a “gamer” rather than a fanboy. I will always defend any company that is receiving unwarranted attacks, be it Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft—Sega, Capcom, etc. Though I will not deny that I have a soft spot for the Nintendo and their intriguing weirdness."
