Parting Ways with Nintendo
28There's a good chance some of your earliest memories of video games involved Nintendo. In that time, they can shape how we see video games even today. However, as time goes on, I often find many Nintendo fans drift away from the company, including myself.
Instead of focusing on the changes in Nintendo's games and business decisions, I looked internally to find what about me played a role in that degrading relationship.
