The old Nintendo kid in me is sad that I'm not excited by the WiiU

Goes to show how my game choices and allegiances, if you will, have changed. No longer am I the Squaresoft and Nintendo worshipping fanboy that I used to be. I wanted to speak Japanese just to have a conversation with Shigeru Miyamoto. A nikka had the Nintendo Power hotline on speed dial for tips. Mike Tyson's code is still ingrained in my head. *007-373-5963* yet I can't even remember my phone number from five years ago.

I'm at work and I'm watching everything with indifference about the WiiU stuff today. I remember when Super Mario 3 came out, I went to my friends house every day to play it. When I had a Super Nintendo and my cousin had a Genesis, nikkas would have shouting matches about blast processing and Mario styling on Sonic. Before the 64 dropped, I used to walk to Blockbuster everyday after school to play it because they had the demo units. Gamecube, I was there day one again, Waverace will forever be that shyt. Now to the Wii, even though my Nintendo-itis had dried up a bit, nostalgia told me to get one, basically for Zelda and it was :ahh:

Fast forward to today, I was hoping for that same vibe, that same feeling. I know that the games Nintendo makes are still good to great. They are soulless though. Technically flawless but there is still an empty feeling when playing them. I typically buy everything under the sun, I am a technophile so I should be spazzing out at the prospect at new hardware yet I'm looking at the screen like Bruh Man used to look at Martin, with a blank ass expression. For those of you that are excited about today and Nintendo, I didn't want to rain on your parade, but I just wanted to say or type this.

I think this is a bit premature. I'd say wait until you play it. I feel the same but I'll give my real impressions when I'm actually playing the shyt.

Yeah I agree man. I was there for every Nintendo system. I owned all of them. Played all the Donkey Kong Country and Metroids. Even when they lost developers like Rareware and Silicon Knights. I supported them. But I haven't touched the Nintendo Wii since like January (Zelda). The magic is gone, and all I'm looking forward to playing is Watch Dogs, Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2 etc. etc. But even if they release a new Mario and Zelda I'll just have the :beli: face. It's time to destroy and rebuild.

SquareEnix fell off to.
