yea i'm going to play Nintendo. which one? the one that says PS2 on the front lol.

i played Brute Force, Wrestlemania21, and Fight for NYC on Xbox. my brother had that one, and swore it was better then PS2 lol. he new bought as much as i did. he had another game that was an action rpg but i can't recall. and Conkur reloaded, but Rare wasted their time recreating that.

the N64 version can't be touched. use to play the hiest mostly.

Last gen i was lucky enough to go multiplatform and own PS3 as well as Wii. However this upcoming gen money will not allow me to go multiplatform. WiiU is my investment, my sole gaming platform for the forseeable future, and call me bonkers but i think there will be more quality 3rd party output this time around.

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S.Lewis

Nintendo doesn't make games for kids, they make games for all ages. "E" stands for "Everyone", not "Everyone under 10".

If you grew tired of their games, fair enough. If your tastes changed, that's fine. But leaving childhood loves behind isn't some natural process. If something is important to you, there's nothing wrong or abnormal with keeping hold of it.

(For the record I have a 360 and a Wii, but I didn't get the 360 because it was more "adult")

Nintendo fans embrace gaming of all platforms. Own a Wii U? A PS4 will look and work side by side. Nextbox? No problem. Just the Nintendo exclusivels alone make the purchase worthwhile, and there ought to be no buyer's remorse. None of the, no, PS4 has one more floating point calculation per nano second? Or Nextbox can run it 1 FPS faster?

When you get the Wii U, you know. Not a racehorse, but still a lot of fun.

Usually it is teenagers that are trying to act more adult.  It all started with Sega vs Nintendo.  Once Sega was gone Sony continued the kiddy insult on Nintendo.  Just look at some of Sony PR quotes.  Teenagers try to be cool by acting "grown up" when in reality they are immature fucks just like I am (and I am 30).  I might be a little more mature than a teenager but you don't become grown up by playing a different manufacture video game console or M rated games. 

I agree with all you stated.  I was just adding my little rant.

It all depends when you grew up gaming generation wise I think.

For example I know people in their late 30s and early 40s who HATE this generation in general. Their main reason being that the games have become movies and less about gameplay or too online focused.

I think the best thing is let your brother decide what he wants to play lol.

even if they lost the adult gamer... there are still new kids out there to be their next target

I really am not taking sides. If there's a game on a system that I don't own, I would consider getting that system. It's really not about being Nintendo or not (for me).

I jumped from Wii to PSP. At that time I spent like $1000 including system and several games. Final fantasy:Crisis Core, God Of War Chains of Olympus, and others I don;t remember. Despite being good games, they were forgetable, why? I don't know. So ok i felt at that time that I jumped back to the Wii, and I never regret that desiciion. New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Sin and Punishment Star Succesor, Monster Hunter TRi for the first time and love it, Sonic Colors, Skyward Sword, Metroid Other M, my wife went from non-gamer to casual gamer being responsible of 50% of my game library. Now she plays SUper MArio Bros U with me and enjoy it, planning to buy Raymand Legends foe herself, Wii Fit U since she has the Balance Board. Those moments are priceless, and I have rarely feel that way on other consoles like on a Nintendo platform.

I think nearly everyone thats over 25 would have started off a Nintendo fan, I myself did but like alot of people we jumped ship. My reason was for Final Fantasy and I needed change.
