    I don’t see why. I grew up with those systems as well, but Nintendo is actively hostile to videogame culture, so there is no reason for my child to develop a love of Pokémon or Mario. She can be nostalgic over new things.

      I think you are missing a big part of my meaning.

      As an original Nintendo child, they were different. If they are so bad now that you and others are not letting them be Nintendo children, then it’s sad for me because they aren’t who they used to be.

      If you can’t see how is a dad thing that something I loved is now a shitty thing, you are going to have a really tough time in life, given the last few years.

      As the saying goes never meet your heroes. Innocence lost kinda thing.
