Hi guys.... I haven't been here for a while, but this will my final message. I'm here to say this: I'm stopping to play videogames, and Yoshi's Woolly World, coming next week in Europe will be my last game. The thing is....... ah....... I don't like the road the 80% of videogames took since the 7th generetion, I don't like FPS, or games with sexual themes or games that makes gore and violence their point of strenght. The truth is, in real life I'm an extremeli sensitive and anxious person and that full prevents me to even try to enjoy games of that kind (for example, years ago I tried Conker's Bad Fur Day on an emulator but I dropped it after a pair of hours because it was too much painful for me to play since its huge presence of gore and splatter). Nintendo was the only software house who still made games that I love, and despite all the things people say, I'm actually more than satisfied of the Wii U games I played. I played like fourteen so far and I loved every single one of them.... but now, we all know what's happened with the E3, Nintendo's bad decisions in marketing now even hurted the quality of their same games, and now even my last hope for videogames is gone and I've no more reasons to continue to play. I know that I might sount too much extremist, and I know doesn't exists just Nintendo, but aside of some indies (many of them playable on PC or even the same Wii U) there aren't any games on the other consoles that are similar to Nintendo games in style, or at least they can be counted on the fingers of an hand (on PS3-PS4 I have in mind just Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper, while on Xbox consoles.... eeerrrr.... I got nothing) and I don't think it's a good idea forcing myself to like something that I don't like or I can't like, like I said I'm extremely sensitive. Yoshi's Woolly World will be the final game I'll ever play and then... I'll quit.. I hope you understand my position, and I hope you'll have great times with your PS4 and Xbox One and you won't give up your passion. Take care of yourself guys.

Out of all the complaints about Ninty at E3 I don't think their games are sexed and violenced up were one of them.

You misunderstand, I didn't say that, but the event was an extreme mess. Star Fox was a title I had many hopes for but turned out to be extremely rushed, so unless they'll do something during these five months they still have to make it better, I'll simply skip it. And there aren't any other games in that conference I'm interested for (just maybe and I say MAYBE Fire Emblem and Mario and Luigi Paper Jam, but they're for 3ds). So.... yeah I've not trust for them anymore...

Ah so you're Ninty is doomed plus Xbone & PS4 are sexed & violenced up so you're quitting gaming altogether, gotcha.

This E3 was a disaster for Nintendo.

But it won't be their last. They're still making games and consoles. There'll be future classics of that special brand of all ages quality Nintendo usually brings. Future opportunities to impress and return to relevance.

But I understand if people just do not have the trust or patience anymore, Nintendo has certainly worn out a lot of both. Ultimately it's your choice and your money. Take care. You can always be a Retro gamer.

Oh no! Not a retro gamer!

I was on the fence of getting Yoshi's Wooly World, but after the E3 I decided not to get it just because it was such a dissapointment.

The only game I think I'm getting from the E3 is South Park: The Fractured But Whole for PC. At least it's the closest thing to a real Paper Mario I can get now...

I play more old games than new ones, so bad or sparse years for video games don't affect me so much, I'm always happy to replay an old favorite or discover a new old game I missed the first time around. Or sometimes not play anything, you gotta take a break now and then from some hobbies. But I always come back

You refuse to trust them after ONE presentation didn't show you any games you were particularly excited for. Boo-hoo.

It's so hilariously obvious you're fishing for attention with this thread. It's not my fault, our fault, or Nintendo's fault you chose to overreact and give up video games. I'm sick and tired of so - called "fans" crying bloody murder because Nintendo didn't wow you like they did last year.

Excuse me my dear, I have my right to say how I feel now or am I wrong? I'm disappointed and I don't believe in them anymore. I'm the first who says that a single disappointment couldn't change my view on a thing, BUT THERE'S A LIMIT TO EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. The disappointment this time is huge, and I don't feel good to continue to play their future games now, and since they were the only people who still could make games that I (and I point that "I") can like, I've lost any hope in the videogame world now. There's no need to be rude dude.... I'm just heavely disappointed ok? I didn't insult or provoked anyone...

TBH it doesn't come across as rationale or a sensible point of view and not one that really warrarnts it's own thread with so many other doomed threads.

Ninty didn't give a brillaint E3 showing this year and there's too many sexed & violenced up games on other console so you're quitting gaming altogether, it's like saying I read the back of a book that didn't sound great and since Fifty Shades of Grey is popular I'm quitting reading altogether or I didn't like the look of a menu at a bistro and since KFC is popular I'm quitting eating altogether etc

I repeat.... DID. YOU. READ. WHAT. I. WROTE? I didn't say that playing violent or sexual themed games is wrong, I simply said that I don't like them, and I point "I", it's ME who doesn't like them, many people like them, and I'm cool with it, and provoke them is the last thing I want to do. I just feel disappointed about how Nintendo have been fallen with this E3 and I lost my trust in them, and since "I" can like just their kind of games, I don't have any reason to continue to play videogames right now. It's simple as that. I didn't mean to insult the fans of modern videogames, or things like that, I just wanted to say how I feel right now, ok?

I nominate this for most dramatic overreaction to Nintendo's 2015 E3 thread.

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

Cool story, but this site isn't your personal blog- take it to the chit-chat thread.
