Honestly, I've seen some footage of Nintendo Land off Game Grumps, and I must say it rekindled something inside of me I haven't felt in a while.
I remember the times of old where I'd be so excited opening that Wii box on Christmas day, and bundling around with my family, being in absolute awe of the new technology and the brand new way to enjoy things just from Wii Sports alone. I remember that first time I played Luigi's Mansion with my dad, in awe at the complexity of this new system and could only imagine how it'd get better.
With the semi-mediocrity of 3DS releases, I've sort of forgotten such a feeling exists. Being able to have fun and share your enjoyment with others is what video games were designed for. The new tablet feels like a new link into a new era of gaming, and it reminds me of that wondrous Christmas day in 2006 when I was still capable of feeling such fun and innocence.
Not to mention, supposed Gamecube games on the Virtual Console? I'm in.
And thats exactly what it feels like, too.
When I got it, I spent a good long time staring at that shiny new controller... and playing it with my cousins was so much fantastic fun.
I can understand people not wanting it that bad for various reasons. I mostly got it because I like all of Nintendo's franchises, so I can't wait for more.
