the original GC title was something so different, new, & charming to me. It just had that Nintendo charm to it that hits different. I played after school every day for an hour for months straight.

That charm hasn't been there for me since. I enjoyed Wild World, but there's only so many times I can do the same thing over and over.

Yeah, the first game is really special. I played it every day for a year. It was hard to say goodbye.

I still feel the magic in the series, but I'm unsure any future installment can capture the newness and inventive energy of the original.
