As each passing year goes, I get less and less interested in handhelds. I get that strange feeling of "I'd rather play this on console", and I get really bored of the platform. I dunno if it is because the small screen or whatever. So while I've been enjoying the ride on Nintendo's DS and 3DS, I think I'm pretty done with them.
So let's go to the home consoles, and I struggle to find them worth owning. I am just interested in very few games (referring exclusively to WIiU here, as I owned a Wii), and funnily enough most of the games I'd like to play contradict those core ideas of you (as reference, I want Fatal Frame, Devil's Third, Bayonetta 2 and Tokio Mirage Sessions). I don't think I'll ever be burn of modern videogame design, as I'm one of those who think the seventh gen truly shine as far as the industry goes and there were several standards there that I'd like to become a basic pillar in videogame design. That's not to say I don't enjoy trips to the past, which are certainly appreciated, but to say that we would go back to Nintendo consoles because of "nostalgia" and "violence levels" would highlight a Nintendo's problem of being stuck in the past, not on a satisfactory way, at least for me. I can enjoy nostalgic games, or those who lack any kind of violence altogether (like Flower), but I'd rather take my chances with consoles that offer both these new-age videogame design while acommodating place for old-school thingy, instead of getting stuck with the later but hardly offering the former.
