To me, the reason why hardcore gamers left Nintendo is because we get older and grew up, while Nintendo hasn't grown up. They still keep that light hearted, child image when the majority of us kids who played Nintendo games during the 80's and 90's are now adults and want mature titles. A lot of adult gamers don't like these cartoony, child-friendly games. I like them, but I can understand why many adults don't like them. I still buy Nintendo consoles and handheld for the first party games, because I love Nintendo's franchises. I really wish that Nintendo would create new franchises, especially hardcore franchises that adult Nintendo fans would like. Something that Nintendo themselves created, not a third party company with assistance from Nintendo, something that's all Nintendo's work and no outside support. That's what I want and Splatoon is a good start.
