Have you ever felt "too old" for a game/franchise you love?

[Nickakyoin]

No, with most Nintendo franchises oriented to younger audience like Pokémon, Starfy, Kirby etc. I don't feel embarassed at all by playing them. I enjoy them as much as I did back then.

However...WarioWare Gold for 3DS was veeeeeeeeery close for it. That game's plot and cutscenes made me felt braindead. The other WarioWare games didn't have this same effect, but for some reasons that one did.

I felt something similar replaying KH games, like Chain of Memories and 2. I remember loving them as kid, despite barely understanding what's going on in the story. Now that i've grown up and my english got a lot better, i see the story again and think: "this sucks"
Still, love the games, less about nostalgia and more because of the worlds and gameplay of the series

I gotta say: I did cringed a lot with the final Dream Drop Distance cutscenes, especially when Sora started to clown around. I did felt the story was pretty good and enjoyable until Birth By Sleep, afterwards it declines.
I know KH X story is good, but considering it was on a gacha and managed horribly (the game was 80% Disney filler we know like the goddamn Ave Maria) so unfortunately the interest gets lost quickly. I would love a remake of that one. KH IV can come with a bad story, I don't care. I just want a good crazy action RPG to just pace out other more intense games.

But I guess one thing is cringing to something, the other is to have thoughts like "why I'm playing this" and then dropping a hobby/passion as a follow-up.

Never too old for the games themselves, but sometimes for being in gaming circles :p can't help

Not many, but there are some games with a particular tone geared towards children, and probably youngish children at that. Some specific Nintendo games, such as Yoshi's Crafted Wold, comes to mind at the moment, it goes past feeling like a family game.

Also, I have never felt older than the couple of times my friend dragged me into Roblox. It certainly had some of the trapping of games I played when I was younger and spend a good bit of time in.

Any Yoshi game beyond Yoshi's Story

No. I try to be eternally young in my heart.

For me it's the Alex Kid games on the SMS, I used to love them as a kid but today they just feel off and kinda bland.

Metal Slug once they dropped the main games and started trying to Gachafy them

I don't think that someone should feel the need to drop something because they're "too old" but I think this kinda happened to me with Minecraft, especially seeing how it has evolved post-Microsoft buyout.
