Gamers Who Only Play Nintendo Games - Retro Bird 

5:29 "For anybody who somehow has both a Wii U and friends" You didn't need to call me out in broad daylight like that.

For a guy that grew up with the NES, Genesis , PS1, Xbox. I have no particular slant to one company over another. I just love good games and few bad ones.

I used to be use the word “kiddy” in a pejorative sense to describe Nintendo games when I was in my early 20s. Now in my late 30s I find myself wanting to play more Nintendo games. They’re timeless and just plain fun.

I have been a video game collector since 1977 when the original Atari 2600 debuted back in the day. My father purchased a new Ford Mustang on the west coast and received a free Atari 2600 that I still own to this day. The unit is stamped on the bottom as not for resale demo unit for some reason... Fast forward to around 1986 and I purchased my first original NES... I have been truly a Nintendo fanboy since its inception. After many consoles and games later, anything Nintendo related has been truly magical for the most part. Hard to explain, but for some reason, Nintendo has a touch like no other when it comes to making the most awesome games on the planet!!! Just my two cents and I will remain a Nintendo fanboy forever!!! Now I must go and update my PS & XBOX!!!

Glad RU-vid recommended this channel a few days ago. It's been great. Keep it up

I strictly play Nintendo games, or rather Nintendo hardware, but I also love 3rd party games on Nintendo consoles. I grew up on Nintendo my whole life, and the brand is imbedded deep into my roots.

Once again, I was having a bad day and I saw your video and it brought back a lot of good memories. Thanks man.

This one’s for me. I can tell!

It wasn't until recently (like, last year or so) that I actively considered looking to acquire and play games on consoles other than Nintendo and Sega, and so far this year I fell in love with the PSP.

I just play games I like, simple as that.

I don't exclusively play Nintendo games, but I exclusively collect Nintendo games, just to give my collection a sense of cohesion.

I have had so many good experiences playing Nintendo games. But playing the original Metroid way back then and not having a map was a crazy time. I remember drawing out my own maps on paper and talking with people are school on tips to beat it. Also wanna say congratulations on your channel. It’s blowing up, and you deserve it buddy. Great content

Rareware had such a solid run that you could play just Rareware in the 16 bit and 64 bit era and you'd be set.

My little girl is 6 and so far she only like Nintendo....out of hundreds of games..she always goes for the Nintendo shelf lol...Wii and the DS are her go to systems. Im just glad she has the chance to pick and choose out of her own soon to be collection lol.

this guy looks like a cross between linus tech tips and mark Zuckerberg

Who the heck only plays Nintendo games....that’s strange lol

I was definitely a Nintendo fanboy growing up but I miss Sega being in the main competitor in the video game wars.

"Nintendo is something that not everybody likes" I see you've met my neighborhood elders.

Love the video as usual!! Love your sense of humor always find myself busting out laughing when it cuts to you making a face!! Thanks for all the amazing content

Pokémon, Pikmin, Punch-Out, F-Zero, Star Fox, the Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bro’s Nintendo makes amazing games and franchises, so while I don’t think limiting yourself to one company is a good thing, I can’t really blame them.

You know what..... I used to be a huge Nintendo fanboy. I admit! Nintendo was my hero. I would occasionally play a Playstation game like Crash or Final Fantasy, but my heart was with Nintendo. Then the Wii era came.... I wasn't impressed with the graphics and awesome 1st party games were few and far between. Sometimes even lackluster. Then Nintendo's 2008 E3 conference came and it ERADICATED MY SOUL. I was so pissed when they finished off with Wii Music that I remember buying a PS3 later that week and diving deep into Fallout 3. Since gaming on PS3 and PS4, Nintendo has been sidelined as the console that I'll play once in a while. I've played AMAZING games like NieR: Automata, Yakuza 0, Persona 5, DOOM 2016 and those games have made me feel fulfilled and CHANGED MY LIFE. Going back to Nintendo games just feel lackluster and uninspiring. It's just the same thing I've seen a million times now. And that makes me so sad.

Man, you channel is GREAT.

Bird is the word! This guy is funny and he doesnt even have to use the f-word like others believe they need to.

All I play is snes.

🎹🎼🥁🎤He's -- da -- Retro Bird🦅-- and he's talking 🎶🔉🎛 talking about--- video games 👾🎚🔊🎵🎮🤩🕹🤘🏻😎 I play every thing Retro Not just only Nintendo

Such a great wholesome guy! Love the personality you bring to your videos boss!

I used to own only Nintendo consoles and handhelds until my siblings got me into other platforms. I had an Xbox 360 for my birthday and then bought myself a PS5 console recently. I got so overwhelmed because I always played Nintendo games, but some of the games I want to play are on other consoles that I played with my siblings with. I think as long as you find something you enjoy then stick with it. Because you never know if it's something else that could grab your attention especially when you play with friends.

I don't know how I am just finally finding your channel as of a couple days ago but I love your content.

Awesome video! You're officially in my top ten favourite gaming channels!

Your channel is a breath of fresh air from some of the mainline ones. Keep it up, easy sub for me. Can’t wait to see future content of yours!

You deserve so much more subscribers. Great video.

I will say as a Nintendo fan, I had no idea how amazing Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are until I tried the trilogy remakes on Switch 😂

Subscribed, im really impressed by how great your content is despite you only having 4k subs. Hopefully youll grow to be big soon man!

Hey, it’s me! I only play Nintendo consoles becuase I just honestly don’t feel like buying more consoles becuase I don’t have any space. 100$ for a ps vita? LAME! I am more of a complete collection 3DS guy

My first console I ever played when I was 7 was a SNES I would play at my cousins house who was in collage. (MK games, Starfox, Turtles in Time) I’ve always been a retro fan girl. My first two handhelds were the Sega Dream Gear (blue) Gameboy colour (purple) I grew up on Nintendo

Excellent video, definitely subscribed!

My perspective with "I only play Nintendo" is that I just play games on a Nintendo system. I have not only Nintendo games on my Switch but also Indie Games and some 3rd Party Games as well.

Been binge watching your videos !

I guess I’m a Nintendo guy although I did have a ps2 and genesis growing up. I mostly play Nintendo because my time and money budget for gaming is mostly limited to one console and I just can’t miss out on 3D Mario games or Zelda. And now as a parent it’s easier to share my love of games with my kids. So many more kid friendly high quality games. I recently won an Xbox series s and am loving gamepass. I’m catching up on a lot of games I missed like GTAV, and the newish Tomb Raider games, RE2 remake etc. Forza 4 is also amazing. Someday I’ll get a PlayStation 5, but I already have an abundance of games to play.

Imagine there's some dude who only plays Tiger handhelds

Really liked the way this video was put together, great watch!

Love your channel. Please keep up the great work ❤️

I used to be one of those. As a kid I was a Nintendo fanatic. I refused to play non-Nintendo systems, and I tried to get every game made by Nintendo and Rare. But then the Wii came out when I was in college. At first I was really excited for it, but they would slowly trickle out games from their old IPs, while coming out with a lot of what felt like fleshed out tech demos with Miis. (Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Music, Wii Fit, etc.) It felt like they had abandoned their core fans in favor of chasing after the suburban mom demographic. By 2008 I thought I'd give them one more chance and see what gets revealed at E3. That year's E3 was a complete disaster for Nintendo with tons of cringe moments and almost none of their classic IPs even being brought up. I was so fed up with them that I bought a PS3 (Which was a big deal for me at the time), and have only bought a few Nintendo products since then. Today I enjoy a much wider depth and variety of games than I had been exposed to back then. It was such a limitation being brand loyal. Now I'm mostly a PC gamer and couldn't be more satisfied. I still enjoy emulating the games I grew up with from time to time when I need a hit of nostalgia though.

Since the NES was introduced, I've only owned Nintendo consoles with 2 exceptions. A Genesis my wife gave me for Christmas and a PS2 we got my son for a birthday. Still have the PS2, used only for Rock Band. It's not that we don't like other systems, our budget simply didn't allow for buying more than 1 of any generation. Sometimes it didn't even allow for buying ANY of a given generation. (Virtual Boy, Game Cube, N64, WiiU are all ones we skipped) Currently a Switch, that PS2, and a RetroPie satisfy all our gaming needs. Almost forgot, Christmas brought me an AT Games Legends Gamer Pro, too.

I have been telling all my friends that I only play Nintendo since I was in grade school, but I guess what I really mean is the only consoles I feel confident enough to buy are Nintendo ones. It's always been about the consistency of quality releases from the big N that keeps me coming back, for better or for worse. The first party games are almost always right up my alley, and the 2nd and 3rd party stuff provides a sense of variety that I haven't had with other consoles in the past. I've never been into buying every console of the generation, because I've always said that if I can't keep up with ONE console's library, why would I try to keep up with 3? Not only that, if a game was really worth it, it would be a multiplatform release. The first and only way I've experienced Metal Gear Solid is through the gamecube Twin Snakes, and that's good enough for me.

you are gaining more subscribers. I can guarantee you that you will be up to 100k by the next year

I'm not a fan of scanlines, but the screen you are playing Link to the Past on is absolutely rich and beautiful.

Awesome videos keep them coming we enjoy this channel

I definitely used to be a Nintendo only guy. I would play SNES, N64, and Gamecube. But I ran out of things to play, so I moved to Playstation and Sega. The reason I stuck to Nintendo for so long - their games just felt so polished. Other games can feel this way too, but it's a pretty safe bet that a 1st part Nintendo title is going to be worth my time.

RU-vid recommended this to me and i'm not dissapointed.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy, however I own most consoles. For whatever reason, non Nintendo games rarely appeal to me. For example I played one game on PS4 while I have played 10+ games on both my WiiU and Switch. I get a sense of wonder and fun playing Nintendo I usually don't get from games on other platforms.

Thanks for another awesome video!

I used to play Nintendo games exclusively until I got a PS4. However, I found that I only really enjoyed a few exclusives on it, vs the dozen exclusives I would buy per Nintendo console. I just like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, and other Nintendo franchises more than Sony exclusives. It's probably impossible to pick a greatest experience, but one of my favorites was when I played Super Mario Galaxy for the first time.

Here’s an interesting thought you could have someone who was a teenager playing NES in the 80s could have a kid that grew up with snes/N64 in the nineties who could have a kid born last decade who is playing the switch today. That covers three freakin generation, all having a connection to Nintendo games and consoles

I would loan my non-Nintendo consoles to friends, but never parted with my Nintendo consoles for any reason. This video was very relevant in so many ways.

Hi I love the atmosphere here it’s so nostalgic! Instant subscription

I'm someone who plays almost exclusively games on Nintendo products. I don't really care who the company that made the game is, but Nintendo hardware is something special. One of my favorite recent experiences was importing the Famicom version of Metal Storm and it has become one of my all time favorite games. Nintendo games have a tightness and polish to them that in a lot of ways feel unmatched. I've loved plenty of other series and systems, Shadow of the Colossus was a favorite growing up. But as time goes on and I become busier and older, Nintendo games scratch that "pick up and play" itch that I crave..

I grew up playing PC games as a young kid (Doom, warcraft 1/2, lots of simulators from flight to sport sims) and my first console was a 64 and.... as an adult playing retro games the 64 is one of my lease favorite consoles. The PS2 was my second console and it's my favorite as an adult. What a library, eh guys?

Just discover your channel. Good job, man!

I used to only play Nintendo systems myself until January 2015, when I got a PS Vita. Two months later I picked up a PS4 and I eventually got an Xbox One, a PS3 and some retro consoles and games. Together with my Switch and Wii U, my home consoles serve different purposes (i.e.: my Wii U is my main Virtual Console machine, my Xbox One is my main backward compatible machine). That being said, whenever the same game comes out for all three big systems, I almost always prioritize the Nintendo version. Almost. I hate the GamePad restrictions of the Wii U so much it was enough for me to switch to the non-Nintendo version, even if it means giving up not worrying about achievements

Great video and topic! It made me wonder whether I have a collecting philosophy. I enjoy owning "highly regarded games" as opposed to games from specific companies, but even that has its own shortcomings. For one, I end up collecting across a massive array of systems, which can get annoying from a storage and video / power cable rat's nest perspective. I also realized I tend to gravitate towards certain genres: 2D fighting games, STGs, and JRPGs. But even then, I'm more likely to pick up a fighting game developed or published by SNK rather than by, say, Arc System Works. I'm also really into the Fire Emblem series, so I collect those games even though I don't have a passion for any other Nintendo franchise. I like playing games on original hardware in the best possible video resolution, but I'm totally happy using a flash cart. In other words, I own a Neo Geo AES that I play on a Sony PVM, but I don't feel the need to spend hundreds of dollars on individual carts when I could just use a NeoSD. With all that in mind, I guess my ultimate criteria when adding to my gaming collection is: does it look cool and have I read / heard good things about it?

@3:03 😂🤣😂🤣 that picture will become legend!

I was Nintendo only for about 10 years. Then around 1997 Symphony of the Night convinced this Castlevania fanatic to buy a PS1. And I bought a Neo Geo also that same year for the Bloodlines cartridge (completed college and was making more money). Then I branched out to Tomb Raider, was able to play Megaman 8, and it was all good. Nintendo is still more than 90% of my collection though.

Growing up my main machines were the PS1 and GameBoy Color. All my friends had the four player Nintendo consoles (n64 and GameCube) and MAN I still cherish the memories made from those multiplayer sessions… *chef kiss

That was essentially me for a good portion of my life, I was actually worse than that, because I only played Mario games, and occasionally, licensed games based on cartoons and movies I liked. I eventually tried pokemon, but not because it was Nintendo, but because I saw the anime on TV and I was very much under it's spell. I was a little loosey goosey though, I did play things that were associated loosely with Mario. Donkey Kong Country for example, and Banjo Kazooie because it's extremely loose ties to Mario through Diddy Kong Racing... I only got one video game per Christmas, and Birthday, and my family didn't rent games often. So I was very averse to taking risks and stuck with what I knew I liked, which was Mario. I actually did love Sonic though. I spent a few months trapped at my Aunt's House and all she had was a Sega. I didn't really "get" the concept of console wars, and all I knew was that Sonic felt good to play, just like Mario. He runs, he Jumps, what more do I need? It wasn't until Super Smash Bros brought Mario and Pokemon together that I started thinking "Huh, you know maybe I SHOULD try these other franchises.", it helped that when the game came out, I had a good friend who was willing to lend me the N64 games he wasn't playing, so I got my introduction to Zelda, Kirby, and Star Fox on the N64, plus he taught me how to do emulation. I found it uncomfortable to play on a keyboard but I did manage to beat Super Metroid and EarthBound.. By the time the Wii came around my tastes really expanded and I used the Wii more for virtual console than for actual Wii games. I was also checking out a lot more third party series but I was still a massive Nintendo fanboy and only ever owned Nintendo consoles, and I tended to only really be interested in, as you put it, "nintendoey" franchises. Lots of platformers, cartoonish stuff, the occasional less cartoonish things but with strong ties to Nintendo, like classic Castlevania, Joe n Mac, ect. As for Smash Bros, I do feel like third party characters are getting a bit out of hand, and we have far too many characters that don't really have much of a connection to Nintendo. Like Mega Man and Castlevania were pillars of the NES, Dragon Quest wouldn't be marketed in the west at all if not for Nintendo, Banjo was essentially the face of the N64, but Joker? Cloud? Snake? I don't care if they're icons, they don't belong there... those are like playstation mascots... Then we have people saying that there's no more first party characters left who are worth having on the roster... and that's just not true. It feels like the third parties are making people dismiss the idea of B or C list characters like Dixie Kong, Impa, or retro characters like Mach Rider, Mike Jones, Lip, or the kids from Aonuma's last non Zelda game, Marvelous: Another Treasure Island. As a Nintendo fan it bums me out that Nintendo characters arent even on most peoples radar for newcomers these days unless you're another friggin pokemon.

I'm a fan of all game systems; brand loyalty doesn't make any sense. Everybody can have favorites, but that can change from day to day; at least for me. RE and Eternal Darkness on GameCube were awesome and are still awesome.

Link to the Past looks great on the CRT

If there's a game I like, it's always available on a Nintendo console. Nintendo makes good games. What more do I need.

As a child I was a Sega kid (since there were not as many NES games released in Germany). But I wanted a SNES very much. And it was a shock. Back then I thought the games were - as you said - kiddy.. That changed a lot and I really like some Nintendo consoles. On the other hand I Just net some of the Hardliner faction, which question the quality of other consoles and games without really knowing them, which is something I don't understand. Okay I never understood why many people hold the N64 in such a high regard, but thats okay. I had it but I was really underwhelmed by the games back then and needles to say the graphics are hard to watch today.

My brother only had nintendo from the ps2 that he didnt really play until his wife got him an xbox series x this christmas. He's mostly only played nintendo since 91

I played the NES, SNES and Gameboy as a child. I fell away from Nintendo as a teenager during the N64 days, because I was still awestruck by Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3 (6), and wanted to play Square’s next masterpiece. I ended up discovering things like Ape Escape, Parappa the Rapper, Psychonauts and Katamari Damacy during my PlayStation 1 and 2 days, but as a capital A Adult now, I just don’t find competitive, photo-realistic first person shooters appealing. I would rather play something fun and whimsical, and Nintendo provides more of that than I could ever ask for. These days, the Switch is my favourite thing. It has retro collections, modern incarnations of my favourite games, but it also has Playstationny stuff like Final Fantasy and Katamari Damacy. The indie scene is huge there too. I don’t know if I fall into the Nintendo-only camp the way you described it, but I definitely only collect for Nintendo systems now.

I only played Nintendo console games during the 8bit/16bit years at home. When Square/Enix left I started to get into other consoles and PC gaming. Now mainly play Sony Consoles and PC games. Slowly getting back to Nintendo gaming. Never played a Xbox.

I grew up playing mostly Nintendo and PC games, but have been looking into the Sega Master System lately (primarily because I'm a Lode Runner fanatic and everybody else's Lode Runner games were better than the scrolling screen on Nintendo's version), and by the time the Genesis rolled around Lode Runner wasn't particularly popular. However, looking at other Sega games from the time the color palette on nearly every game I see recommended reminds me of your "kiddy" shot of the gumballs, everything is hypersaturated and there aren't any dark colors (resulting in a lack of contrast) in a lot of those games. It's making it really hard to "pull the trigger" on that particular system. Nintendo games might not be particularly known for being "dark" but, ironically, Sega's games were (generally) actually worse in that regard early on. Edit: I should add that scrolling shooters are a big exception to that, and Sega does them well, but I'm generally not a big fan of the genre.

Another fun video Retro Bird. I can't wait to see the Sega version of this. You can call it, "Sega, the Lost Opportunities" and we can re live Sega mishandling the advertising for Sega CD, not to mention the entire 32X disaster. (Saturn or 32X, just pick one!!!) I'm not the biggest SNES fan but Zelda and Super Metroid are 2 of my absolute favorite games and Earthbound is one of my favorite RPGs.

I am one of those Nintendo only fans. I’ve owned every system at one point or another in my life. On the switch I’ve finally gotten a chance to play some of the great franchises that were long missing from my collections like Witcher and Crash Bandicoot. I have nothing against these other systems it’s just I only have so much free time to play. And Nintendo was my 1st love so it would feel wrong for me to not have their systems. I also really really enjoy their mainline franchises and wouldn’t want to miss out on those unique experiences. If PS, PC or XBOX games were ported over, I would certainly consider playing. It just comes down to having only so much time I can dedicate to games and not wanting to miss those amazing Nintendo experiences.

I am a nintendo fan but I dont play only nintendo. I also play. - Minecraft - Fortnite - Undertale - A hat in time - Baldis Basics - Bug Fables - Shovel Knight - Dicey Dungeons However I still play mostly nintendo.

I'm very mixed on this topic, if you only really like Nintendo games, that's cool by me. But there's also the thing of not willing to branch out just because this thing was made by a different company. As well as claiming to be someone different, like saying "I love all things video games." While only talking and owning Nintendo things, which honestly makes you more of a Nintendo fan than a video game fan. There's always going to be people that truly only like Nintendo, but I really think it's worth giving other companies a shot. If you don't like them, that's perfectly okay with me, all of us are different. Not everyone shares my undying love for the Intellivision, and I'm not gonna throw a fit about it. Also, love that you showed Wario Land here, definitely an underrated game. This may or may not be intentional, but I also like that you have the Wii U gamepad plugged in, the darn thing doesn't seem to last more than a couple hours LOL, great video man!

For your question at the end of the video, yes I only have owned and played Nintendo consoles, and handhelds. My first console was the NES that I owned and played often, and it sort of just continued on after that to every Nintendo handheld/console. I've played other game consoles at friends house, but never got the appeal of them. They always seemed more like an interactive movie, or repeating multiplayer titles that sort of seem the same to me, now that's not to say nintendo doesn't have the same repeating games, but I've always found them more enjoyable than Sony/Microsoft. They(nintendo) seem like actual "video games" to me if that makes sense. I've watched my friends play through other games with long cutscenes, and HD graphics, etc. Sure it looks good, and such but, I've never found it appealing to play myself, but rather just watch as it's not something I want to pick up a controller and play. Multiplayer FPS on consoles, and such just really seem like one of those things where people constantly berate, and troll each other in voice and isn't something I want to participate in. If I was playing them, I'd have to mute the lobby to able to just play. A lot of stigma goes into "Nintendo only" such as, "oh you must be a casual gamer". Not really, I waste just as much time as anyone else does, just with a different console. I know many others that have crazy amounts of hours invested into Zelda BOTW, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Pokemon etc. To each their own though. Also, the "3rd party" titles you were speaking of. I had the most fun with consoles like the Gamecube, and the Switch because of the 3rd party titles that we've been getting. Gamecubes 3rd party like Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, The Sims, etc. Then the switch got Doom, Skyrim, Quake, The Witcher, Civilization 6, Dragon Quest, etc. There are a lot of great games on other consoles, but I mostly like the single player 3rd party type of games, and wouldn't ever trade my Nintendo console out with any of the others or even buy a different one just for a few single player games that I am interested in, because overall Nintendo makes the games I'm interested in playing. I could easily live without the 3rd party ones, but yeah. Hopefully that clears up anyones questions for Nintendo only gamers.

I play basically 97% Nintendo games because consoles are expensive and just playing catch-up with all those games is a huge pain, it's fun, but still a pain. Even as a kid, Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Kirby, and Smash Bros. (along with a random assortment of Nintendo & PC games) were my absolute jam. Then as I grew up, I started also getting into Zelda, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, and most recently, Metroid (because little me was terrified of those games). It is true, there are some of what I call "forbidden fruits" (looking at you, SotN), but Final Fantasy VII made it to the Switch in 2019 and I welcomed it with open arms as it "came home" to the Nintendo family and my heart. On the topic of third-party characters in Smash, it's a mixed bag. I can shift from loathing Sonic because of everything he represents, be confused i.e. Terry, be confused and then love them i.e. Richter and Eight, to liking already them i.e. PAC-MAN, to very nearly crying tears of joy when Cloud and Banjo & Kazooie "came home."

I haven't had a Nintendo console since the wii. I'm glad I bought a Switch. I'd forgotten how much fun a Nintendo console can be.

New to the channel, great work! Loved the commentary, but could have used about 50 other video examples of Nintendo games other than the few you used. However, I’m primarily Nintendo only because I love the way they pace games and their use of color. This isn’t a unique opinion, but hyper realism with muddy colors does not get me excited about games. I want to live in a cartoon when I play games, I think that’s what makes it fun.

*slowly lowers weapon* 😅 That was a great vid man, I'm a Sega guy mainly b/c that's what I grew up with, but Nintendo games were always very fun and if I could have had all the consoles as a kid I would have. The SNES was right around where it started to click for me, Nintendo games just had a fun factor to them I didn't find anywhere else. I still think the N64 sucks, but when the NGC came out then I got it, Nintendo does their best to make sure their games are fun but also usually a very polished experience...which made me a Big N fan for life. Oh yeah, the Wii U was great!...well imho 🤣

While I don't play exclusively Nintendo, it's still the majority of my time spent gaming. I've found that Nintendo games are just more welcoming and smooth to ease in to than most other games. It's easier to jump into a game of Splatoon and learn the controls than it is Call of Duty for example. As well Nintendo games have this certain charm that seems almost impossible to replicate, and playing a game on my PlayStation 5 just feels weird where as playing a game on my Nintendo Switch feels perfectly natural. Though that might just be because I have so much more experience with Nintendo. With the advent of the seventh generation, it seems most developers went on to make their games as realistic as they possibly could, while Nintendo stuck with their unique artstyles for their various franchises, and I feel that's apart of what makes Nintendo so special to me. Video games are supposed to be an escape from reality, so why would I jump from watching the news of soldiers in Iraq or something straight to a game where I'm a soldier in a gray and brown battlefield mowing down nazis? Nintendo is one of the few to still provide that true escape.

The SNES was my first console but the PS1 was my second so I can appreciate all different platforms as long as it has games I like. I've been playing a lot more arcadey genres such as shoot em ups and those mecha action games.

Playing Nes at my uncle's place when I was a kid got me into video games, but as I grew up Nintendo consoles never felt like a must own to me so I never bought one until a couple of years ago

This is an absolutely fantastic video and I look forward to seeing your Sager version!! I've never thought of Nintendo as being Kitty but as the Apple of Gaming... that being said I had the unique experience of growing up with almost every single Nintendo console. Darkwing Duck, The Little Mermaid and little Samson was the Highlight experiences of the original NES to me. Mario Golf, GoldenEye and Pokemon Snap were the definitive experience for me on the N64. And I highly respect Metroid and Kid Icarus. Other than that Nintendo never resonated with me. Absolutely no hate. I was just a team blue kid with Sega and Sony.

5:10-its funny how every Wii U gamepad you see on RU-vid has its battery light on 🤣

When i grew up i played Snes then PS1 and xbox. Then i got a xbox 360 and stuck around with it for a few years then i went all out on playstation. PSP, PS2, PS3 and PS4. I tend to gravitate to the games that interests me the most and most if not all the games i played on the 360 was on the ps3 and i loved the exclusive games on the ps3 more than the xbox, but don't worry I still have my gears of war and halo collections.

I am not a Nintendo only guy but when it comes to modern games I do tend to support the Nintendo Switch way more than the competition. I do think Nintendo is the best current first party game developer and I like that for the most part the switch games come on the cartridge with much less patching involved. I just think that in the future switch games will be way more playable right off the cart once all the online servers are gone. Some Nintendo Switch 3rd party games do only have part of the content on the cart and require downloading but I don't invest in those titles. Also the console seems to cater to more niche and retro inspired stuff that is compelling to me.

I did only play Nintendo for a long time, now I play Nintendo and Pc. The reason I mostly play Nintendo is because of nostalgia, and the fun games I played as a kid had a very good impact on me. I have played Xbox sometimes (don’t have a Xbox system though) but I never got into Sony, I’ve played a few PlayStation games, but never got into them.

My friends either had the PS2 or the Gamecube when I was younger, so naturally I wound up playing both. There are too many good games out there to restrict myself to one brand or console (in my opinion) but Nintendo games definitely have the strongest "video game feel" to them so I could see why people would exclusively play them.

I grew up playing nintendo games when i was like 5, it really fascinated me cause of Super Mario World, been my favorite game ever since, and collected some more old nintendo stuff like gameboy, advances, and DS, and Wii over the years

I don’t only play Nintendo games, but I only own Nintendo consoles and the reason for that is the Nintendo games. The Switch is the only current Gen console I play. I bought it for the Nintendo games. I played Mario Odyssey, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Animal Crossing New Horizons, and several others. That’s what got me in the door. But true Nintendo games are few and far between, years and years pass between releases in franchises. So I fill my other time with non Nintendo games on Switch. Over the past 6 months I’ve played The Witcher 3, Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Which, Sonic Mania, Spiritfarer, and Donut County to name a few. Recently, I’ve played more non Nintendo games than Nintendo games on my Switch. And I’ve really loved them. I wouldn’t be strictly against buying the new PlayStation or XBox, but consoles are expensive and I have a whole lot to play on my Switch in the form of ports, 3rd parties, and upcoming Nintendo games. Why drop the $500+? I’ve always been a single console guy because of money primarily, and that single console is almost always Nintendo.

I collect Nintendo stuff 99% of the time because I just love it. I want to get more into PS1 but that's gotten too expensive

Honestly, Gaming is expensive. It's not that I'm uninterested in non-Nintendo games, it's just that I don't have the expendable income to care. It's easier to just stick to one console and use my PC for anything else.

Nintendo probably makes my favorite games, but you're missing out on some of the greatest games of all time if you only play Nintendo games.

I’m primarily a Nintendo fan, mostly because I grew up with the consoles and games and stuck with them. I’ve always been partial to Mario games, so I’ve stuck with Nintendo, but I’m willing to try anything. I don’t have too much money, so I can’t just buy a new console each time there’s a release. Luckily there are a lot of great 3rd party games for Switch, so I’ve been able to expand my horizons. I think the stigma just comes from super fans that can take their devotion way too far. I enjoy “kiddie” games a lot actually, I’m glad someone else agrees they’re just downright fun.

Had to leave another comment... been binging your videos, and you got me. CIB Rocket Knight Adventures has been purchased and is on its way to me now.

I was talking this subject with my little sister that just bought her first DS and started gaming and she was surprised when she discovered that Marvel vs Capcom 2 never got a port on Nintendo Consoles(her favorite fighting game). It's kinda sad to think that people are missing some really great games, especially the Nintendo Only Gamers, games like GTA,Gears of war,Dead Rising,RDR, God Of War, Resident Evil,Halo, Final Fantasy and most of AAA Multi games(talking about "not retro"). Now from a Retro games oh god, how can they live without playing Sonic 2,Outrun, Streets Of Rage 2,Panzer Dragoon,House Of The Dead,Daytona and more great Sega games...

Most friends on other consoles seem to play mainly 1st person shooters. May be a spacemarine, a cowboy, a gladiator, ww2, modern warfare, but its 1 bloke roaming a massive open world slaying. There's way more game varieties on Nintendo, not to mention a brighter happier colours heme to the graphics.
