Nintendo and I broke up....
...It happened a little while ago, I'm over it, it's ok.
We used to be so close, I used to curl up and we'd explore worlds together, and everything, the production, the design, the music, would be ours away from the world.
But then he changed, wanted to get out and started hanging out with new people, people I thought would never understand the real him.
Eventually I realised that it had ended without me even realising. "It wasn't me it was him." We'd grown apart but promised we'd always be friends.
Then comes the kick in the guts. I turn around and he's there on TV trying to get into bed with the entire of Mumsnet.com.
The new Dragon Quest advert features JEDWARD talking about changing your character's wardrobe. I walk home and there is Terry Wogan on a billboard holding a DS, just like I used to hold a Game Boy Advance.
Did I ever know you at all? Was it all just a lie? Our weekends on the floor of my old room, roaming around Hyrule, my endless collecting of ash so I could fill the secret den in Kanto with nice things...
What happened to you Nintendo?
You tease me with this:
It's like we've gone for a drink for old times sake and you're making an old in joke, but I'm too wary of you now and I wonder if you're taking the micky out of me, out of everything we had. Is it just going to be an idiot proof version of Ocarina of time? Surely the Japanese market would stop that from happening?
A small part of me has got her hopes up that this is a clue that deep down, we still have a chance, to be more than just casual acquaintances at least. That part of me is just about enough to get me down to a midnight opening.
But Nintendo, if I see the cast of Loose Women anywhere NEAR the words Zelda, it's over, it's fucking over.
Please, if I meant anything to you, don't do this.
