    I grew up with a Nintendo controller in hand.

    There’s a very good reason I now game almost exclusively on PC. None of this is going to convince me to come back. Quite the opposite in fact.

      Nintendo has been on my list of most hated companies for awhile now. Just can’t stand how they operate and design their games.

      Grew up the same way. Some of my all time favorite games are still some of the classics. That being said, I wouldnt shed a tear if they go bankrupt.
