Nintendo has been utilizing this newfound popularity of their newest system to make back money they lost on great content that had been released on an unpopular console. It was cool to have a Nintendo system again! Anytime a new game was about to come out, everyone talked about it, and many new friendships were created thanks to a shared love for Smash Ultimate. Kids were playing it at lunch, on the bus, and of course, during class.
By the time I reached high school, the Switch was everywhere. I wish I could have told my young self that no, my taste was not poor and things would one day change. Was it because only the first graders played them? Were we really sticking to bland, boring kiddie games and refusing to move on? Unaware of the sickness of the platform we so loved, my brother and I were confused as to why nobody else was playing the amazing games we had gotten that Christmas. and other Wii U games built with great care and of love scrounged for scraps amidst the populous gaming industry, only receiving a small portion of attention from the hardcore Nintendo fans and a few gaming publications. Shallow online shooters and yearly sports games seemed to hold the entirety of the gaming industry in their hands. All they were talking about was FIFA (ew) or the latest Call of Duty (yes, in fourth grade.) Alas, these were dark times. I knew only one other kid at school that had it, and aside from them I was unable to relate to the other kids my age who played video games. The Wii U was Nintendo’s latest console and it had flopped horribly. Alas, the poor kid was me in the 4th grade. “Isn’t Mario for little kids?,” says one.
A kid is scoffed at after mentioning that they play Mario. There was once a time when Nintendo was not a household name. This is purely from a game design perspective and is not in any way related to our morality evaluation. ⭐ Games that receive this star have a score of 95% or above.
