I'm the generation he's describing, and some of the best parts of my life have been on both sides of that interaction. Looking forward to being the grandparent.
- Trasmatta 6y agoI don't have kids, but my nephew is 6, and I love playing Mario games together with him. I just love seeing the same type of joy in his eyes playing Super Mario Odyssey that I had playing Super Mario Bros 3 as a kid.
- lupire 6y agoKids today love SMB 1 and 3 on the emulators too.
- abnercoimbre 6y agoThis was a surprising fact. I have a young Zoomer friend who grew up loving Zelda 64 even though his childhood should've comprised Wii games.
- Trasmatta 6y agoYeah, he's played those as well. He's also obsessed with Mario Maker 2 right now. It's amazing how good of an outlet that game is for a kid's creativity.
- cgriswald 6y agoIt’s a weird statement. We’re at the point where some who played with Mario as a kid could be playing with Mario with their grandchildren right now. I started playing Mario with my kid over a decade ago.
- emerged 6y agoI love playing Nintendo with my niece. Miyamoto is likely the person alive today I’m most in debt to. Hope to take my nieces to Super Nintendo World in a few years after the pandemic passes and it is built in the US.
- Roritharr 6y agoAbsolutely, i thoroughly enjoy playing the first Super Mario I played at age 3 with my 3 year old. Seeing him laugh but also get angry and fail made me choke up and say thank you to Mr. Miyamoto in my head. What a wonderful experience to share and bond over.
