i think nintendo consoles are amazing and i think many of you may share a similar sentiment. it seems like their devices have grown up alongside us, each one charming in their own way. it’s like nintendo created not just consoles, but a lifestyle filled with rich experiences.
i remember being 10 and playing all night on my gameboy sp, grateful for the light that allowed me to game undercovers long after i should’ve been asleep.
the gamecube accompanied me throughout my teenage years and was my first foray into the rich world of video games through titles such as smash bros, tales of symphonia, and resident evil 4, all of which i continue to love to this day.
and now we have the switch which can go with us anywhere and bring great comfort and entertainment that can easily be shared with others.
and i think all of this is only made better by the actual design of the consoles. i love the square foldable compactness of the sp, the iconic cube that came with a literal handle. all detailed with rounded edges that made them feel fun, warm, welcoming.
i don’t think nintendo is perfect by any means, but i do think they’re special. and that specialty lies in the lack of pretense. anyone can play and like video games, this is a space that focuses on fun rather than skill. you are and have always been welcome here.
