So you will only play Nintendo games if you can go on miiverse. That's interesting considering before the WiiU no nintendo console had anything like it, there are plenty of community websites for Nintendo fans too. If the NX had no social features you would still buy it. You'd never play a Nintendo game again if they took away miiverse, got ya! Seems to me more like you're just exaggerating because you really don't like the idea of Nintendo being third party, when in reality it has almost no affect on you other than the box you have to buy.

If Nintendo shut down Miiverse, would you not buy Zelda Breath of the Wild? You'd buy it and enjoy it still. Just as you'd buy Nintendo games on other systems and enjoy them still, if the games themselves aren't as important as 'miiverse' when there are many alternatives online I don't know what to say.

I don't think you get it. Its not just miiverse. Its what it shows. Its a positive environment. Its a family friendly environment. It might be the last positive environment left in gaming. Shitposting is kept to a minimum or is moderated right away. Its filled with helpful tips if you get lost. But more importantly, its filled with like minded fans who care about Nintendo gaming as much as everyone else does.

If Nintendo shut down Miiverse I wouldn't be affected. But I'll have to watch the kids like a hawk every time they access anything online and gaming related. Its not just me. But the future generations of gamers are on it. People like to pretend its just about them, but if Nintendo goes 3rd party then the last best hope for good gaming for my family is gone. I'm not going to get a Sony machine. I'm not going to get a Xbox. There's only one brand I trust with quality gaming and that I'd trust my family to. And if they stop making consoles then I'm out.

Yeah you're right I didn't understand what you were getting at, I apologize.

I can definitely understand where you are coming from, family friendly entertainment is certainly in decline which isn't a good thing at all. It's very commendable that unlike most parents you actually monitor your children's usage. Nintendo consoles are definitely the best and safest place for family entertainment.
