I’m a big Mario fan, I wish I could play sunshine bro’s on the game cube for the first time
If I could? My goodness there would be a bunch of games that I would love to "start again" for the first time personally but in a way, I guess that would take away the nostalgia factor from it? Oddly enough, the feelings that I had felt and experienced for a game as a kid may hold more momentum to it than seeing and playing it as an adult for the first time because of the innocence and wonder my mind had yet to discover that I otherwise wouldn't have been so easy on.
In my opinion, there is something about being a kid where the whimsical and magical are just simply awe inspiring to the mind, no matter what the game is, with terrible story, graphics, or not, as we are just beginning life and we have no clue of the unknown that awaits us as adults nor the knowledge and "common sense" we gain as we get older, hindering us possibly from enjoying a game to it's full potential without judging it for it's lack of "this" or "that. I feel because of the experience we have gained growing up, with more games we have played now to compare it to, I don't know if I would even enjoy most of them to the full extent I have for them now. Acknowledge and appreciate them for being a well told story and a classic for it's era? Sure, but other than that? I feel it may not be the same. I really just loved every second of most games I played as a kid, with mostly all of them having a place in my heart and the ones that were just over "the top amazing" stuck with me even more.
I feel that if I had never had played a game now that I had once as a child, them those same emotions, thoughts and feelings jusg wouldn't
be the same as the ones I had for them as a kid. Even now, I feel that most games I play as an adult (Nintendo ones especially) rarely hold a candle to the ones I had played with as a child, with albeit a few being "amazing" in their own right from my personal perspective. My tastes as an adult have changed, whereas as a kid, I would play any new game without judging it first hand back during the SNES, N64, GameCube and early Playstation days. Perhaps it's just me growing up, but I feel that the emotions and memories I made as a kid witnessing these amazing games will always be unique to me as a child. Others? It may be different! This is just me
