Topic: Adult Switch Gamers

37.

Started gaming in 1989 when I got an NES for Christmas with Mega Man 3 (benefits of dad owning a pawn shop at the time).

Where has the time gone. All I know is, when you grow up playing the classics, you develop a certain appreciation for Nintendo game design that a lot of modern gamers simply don’t exhibit. Though, it does seem the Switch is changing that. Wii did nothing to convince younger gamers there is merit to a more pure, gameplay focused approach. Thankfully, Switch is doing it right this time.

I'm not sure most teens even use message boards anymore, I feel like social media took over all that. And I feel so, so bad for kids because of that. Almost no one deserves social media.

Point is, I assume everyone here who has posted more than a couple of times and knows how to forum is an adult.

I think the article on the front page "what was your first Nintendo console" was quite telling and quite surprising really. That poll suggested that most of the readers of NL started with the NES or SNES...

feel free to join our discord, we're all "adults" over there. we managed to keep it friendly and pleasant through all these years, link is in my signature

24 years old and still playing "kids" games even today lol.

Hey are you still ok for people to add you? Do you play matiokart 8?

@Drunkracer Yep, Discord link is here: https://discord.gg/jy4SCA5Q
We usually play Mario Kart on Saturdays at 830 pm UK time, I believe we'll be playing Friday at the same time as well to celebrate the new tracks.

I'm pretty sure I wrote something here about 75 pages ago, but anyway...

I'm 52 and have been into gaming since Space Invaders. I mostly play PC, boardgames and Switch. I dabble in all the genres but my favorites are RPGs, strategy, 4X and shmups. I'm also (semi) dedicated to Ring Fit Adventure.

If anybody wants more People Of A Certain Age in their friends list, my FC is in my sig.

I’m an adult, but I mostly play adventure games and visual novels. I do also have a PC I game on too.

37 years young!

31 and counting! Been playing since 4 on SNES

23 for me

42 - looking forward to retiring in 25 years time to spend some quality time with my backlog

I'm so old, I've probably already replied to this thread. Just kidding, I'm going to be 60 this year. The cool part, I'm totally retired and can play games as long as I want, I can stay up as late as I want, and I can buy whatever I want. That is pretty cool. But it took a while to get here. Anywho, happy gaming!.

Is there an age range for this discord channel then haha

@W90WBA just be over 18. The link in my signature is out of date so use this one. We'd love to have you https://discord.gg/5RTTGHEepv

Another sexagenarian here, like young @GonzoBobH.

"I'm old ... I'm over 30..."

Yeah, and I could be .. YOUR FATHER!!!!

"Noooooooooooooooo "

38 yrs old switch gamer, here! I find it funny when other adults act like gaming is wholly for children. Youre telling me games like gtfo, bayonetta, gta, etc, were all created with young children in mind? C'mon. Oh, as if dressing up as your favorite athlete is "adulting".

We'll give the new mario kart dlc a spin on Thursday at 9:30pn CET. https://discord.gg/tt6bu9jp?event=1004050941630234654

37 years old, but only play kids games with a few of Teen games.
