If we are talking specifically ones people would get mad at me for, and using the term "Nintendo Games" as any game that was released on a Nintendo console...

• The Smash series and a good portion of the characters involved's franchises. I've played some Melee and touched Ultimate once when playing with a friend but that's it - and I don't have any intention to play them unless someone wants to give me them.

• I haven't played any of the Gen 4 pokemon games specifically. Same with any of the Mystery Dungeon games barring one when I was in middle school and couldn't be damned to learn to play more than maybe one dungeon floor.

• None of the Warioware games, nor a lot of Mario spinoff games (though I have played a few of the Donkey Kong Country games as well as consider Donkey Kong 64 a great game which pisses people off LMAO. And only played the first Luigi's Mansion, never touched things like Bowser's Inside Story or others, etc etc).

• Only played the Metdroid game that was on Gamecube (and am honestly not a fan of the classic Metroidvania genre At All)

• No Fire Emblem or Xenoblade Chronicles. They don't appeal to me in general. Anything that is a turned-based RPG immediately becomes less appealing to me (yes, I even hate it in Pokemon, but it is at least simple enough for me to understand that I can finish a game). If Xenoblade Chronicles isn't a game like that then uh... whoops lol?

I have no doubt there is a bunch more those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I don't really have brand loyalty beyond preferring Nintendo systems because a lot of shit gets released on them (shit that I care about, anyways) + am only a PC gamer because I get games faster/have the space for them. Even then I hate playing anything that doesn't have controller support. If other systems had more games I cared about then Nintendo, I'd use those in a heartbeat.

WHEEZES SORRY I RESPONDED TO THIS SO LATE

So, the story of selfshipping with him kinda came about when I realized when I was kin with Galacta Knight and started getting memories of being with him in that life (this was... god whenever I got back into the fandom again, it's been a few years at this point).

The feelings of love was just so strong that it has bled over to loving him outside of that... I dunno why my brain is saying situation, but my brain is definitely not functioning fully atm. I don't have any specific self insert of myself for that (I've designed s/is in the past but never committed to anything), but overall I just very much enjoy and love him.

And I would say I properly 'met' him when I got back and started playing the newer games, because before that a lot of my experience was playing most Kirby 64. Once I dived headfirst into the stuff that came out after that - or even before that on different systems - I discovered a lot of identity stuff and characters that I love and are close to my heart, including Meta!!
