It's weird how things go in cycles. I think that Nintendo are hitting a Golden Age, and it somehow feels different than the Wii/DS era which was dominated not by their usual IP's but new ones that utilised their new controls, and ultimately didn't have a lasting appeal. With the Switch it seems more organic.
For instance, I don't think there's been this much hype to Zelda and Mario since Mario64 and OoT. I mean Mario was the second most watched video game trailer of E3 - and will soon be number 1 easily - something that wouldn't have happened in recent consoles including the Wii. And you can tell that the type of games Nintendo are going for are totally different than those in the last two consoles. There's more imagination and expansiveness in the main franchises so far that I haven't seen since the GC era.
It's just a fun time to be a Nintendo fan and I'm hyped. Let's go!
