If You're Over 30 And You Still Love Nintendo, You're Weird

[greenmedic88]

In this instance, "weird" is not meant as a term of endearment.

If you can imagine being over the age of 30 and going to a Disney animated feature at the movie theater alone, that's the kind of "weird" we're talking about. Which is fine of course, but when you're a 30 something year old sitting in a theater full of families and children, we're not talking about being whimsical, free-spirited or independent. It's just a little odd.

Granted, we can all play Nintendo games in the comfort and privacy of our own homes free of judgment, but again, for the over 30 demographic, which seems more appropriate: the 30 something who plays Mario Kart with their kids as a family, or the 30 something single person living alone, regardless of whether they're playing with buddies or random strangers online?

And yes, there are 30 something, childless couples living together who enjoy playing Mario Kart or Smash Bros or Wii Sports together, but these are a small minority.

Let's just say this: if you're over 30, married with children, or maybe just married to another 30 something year old game playing geek, it's perfectly healthy to enjoy the same Nintendo franchises you grew up playing as a child only now with a partner or as a family. It's just like going to Disneyland with the family.
