Forums - Nintendo - Just a story about my love for Nintendo. The love is still there, but the pain is growing!

I play games since the gameboy period. My first console was a snes. I played tons of games on that system. Rpg's, mario kart, super mario all stars and so on.

My love began. Nintendo was IT for me. Then the n64 came. I loved the title they had before it became n64 ( ULTRA 64!!! ). Why didn't they stick to that?

I needed that system. I got it at launch. The only console i got at launch. I played mario 64, mario kart 64 for hundreds of hours.

Nintendo> the rest.

Gamecube time: Super mario sunshine, i endured you. I loved you, but you were painfull at times. Cleaning the beach, anyone??? A great system and games.

Wii time: I played the wii, the super mario galaxy games. Overrated, in my opinion, but still good.

Then the wii-u. Wow, The wii-u. I watched the 2011 e3 livestream, for the first time in my life. I watched it and thought to myself, is the controller the console? Just like many people with me.

Second e3 livestream 2012. Not impressed. Still not impressed. Maybe it's my age, my memories, my life at the moment, but what a mistake this has been. Everybody has over-analysed the situation. I won't do that. My gaming heart for nintendo is growing with pain, with ''what could have been''.

It's not over. 2014 will be the year! Zelda-u is gonna be the game that will convince me to buy a wii-u. I know it will. But will it be enough?!

I'm not sure. I'm just sad.

There will be no better time than now!  Must act fast!!

Ah...that felt great.



It is your fault for not owning one. The console is amazing. Only people talking trash about it are dudebro casual gamers who only play first-person shooters... Those who actually own and utilize the console daily, have very, very few things to complain about, especially with the games coming up in the next few months.

Backwards compatible with practically every single wii contoller and peripheral, including games. PLEX in 1080p HD, an awesome internet browser, free online, the eShop and it's weekly deals, Miiverse which is only getting better and better, a stellar first-party lineup of exclusives, the GamePad, netlfix amazon hulu youtube etc, HOMEBREW!!!

The list goes on...

The only person you can be disappointed with is yourself for not owning one.



stop reading when you said Super Mario Galaxy games are overrated. you just don't like them, those are two different things.
