It's mostly nostalgia. While warm at times, it's nothing but a yearning to the past and unhappiness with the present.

How can I have nostalgia for Metroid when I didn't play one until I was 20? Or Xenoblade when I didn't play it til I was 22? These were not the games of my childhood, yet they still hold the magic for me.

So your experience represents that of every Nintendo fan? Nostalgia doesn't mean decades ago, it could be 6 months ago. There is no time definition.

I never claimed I spoke for every fan.

What about Splatoon, then? Totally new IP, not even out yet, but everything I've seen of it oozes Nintendo magic.

Correct on Splatoon. Remains to be seen if a good game, but it's a new IP and that is a step in the right direction. I was once a very happy Nintendo gamer, they just lost me because i changed and they didn't.

 

Newer games and IP's could bring in new people who get tired of the old formula. Which is why i cheer on change, but that's a topic for another discussion.
