I feel the same way and I should qualify myself by letting everyone know I'm 40 years old and I've been a gamer all my life. I started with Atari, got an NES when it launched and I was all about Nintendo growing up. Today it's Xbox vs Playstation, but back in the day it was Nintendo vs Sega. I never owned a Sega, but I owned every Nintendo console. NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and a Wii. Within that time I also owned a PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360, but ultimately I just felt I outgrew Nintendo. I'll never forget the experiences of playing Zelda and Mario, but at 40 years old, it all just feels like cartoon kids games to me. My 7 year old nephew got a WiiU for Christmas and I hooked it up and we played Mario, but I was not into it at all. It's just "kiddy" to me and I know that's hugely offensive to Nintendo fans, especially older ones, but that's how I feel. I consider myself a hardcore gamer to this day, but Nintendo just doesn't do it for me anymore and hasn't for years. Today I play games like Destiny, Shadow of Mordor, Skyrim, etc. and I'm looking forward to games Arkham Knight, Elder Scrolls Online, Witcher 3, etc. I just don't care for another Mario, Yoshi, or Pikmin game.
