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.

Hasn't FF become irrelevant now?

I jumped ship back when the ps1 came out, FF has become alot less relevent in recent years but I will always support it and whatever console gets the mass of them.

Only FF that I've played was 7.  Liked it a lot but never made me want to buy another.  I am only slightly into RPG genre.  I did enjoy Denpa Men: They Came By Wave from 3DS eshop a lot though.

Ive been there. When I was 21 I decided to make the switch to 360. People just grow up. Nintendo will always cater to the kids first, and that's ok. We were kids once and kids of today deserve to be swept up in their games as well.

Even adults still stick around with Nintendo, but they usually have another console/PC to complement it. Im sure Ill be quoted by some sensitive person who will defend their age yet still plays Nintendo consoles primarily, but it's natural to grow out of childhood habits.

Doesn't mean you have to drop Nintendo, just get a 360 or PS3. I personally still have old Nintendo sentiments in the form of owning their handhelds, yet I have yet to buy a 3DS.

 

"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")

Beautiful post! Almost brought a year to my eye! That CS Lewis quote is incredible.

I hated and still hate Donkey Kong

 

You got to remember a lot of gamers were Nintendo fans at some point. We just moved on.

This kinda just reinforces the futility of clinging to childhood and not accepting the mantle of adult responsibility.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Great quote. Never thought a C.S. Lewis quote could be so relevant to Nintendo, hah.
