Call of Duty, it just isn't the same man, I remember that when I was a kid I couldn't wait to come home and play Call of Duty on my PS3 or PSP, but now it's too boring. It doesn't help the fact that now COD games have lost all the war aspect that made them basically unique.
 
The only games I think I could say I've outgrown are Nicktoons games (mostly on the GBA), but that's not so much as outgrowing them and more that I don't really like to play sidescrolling platformers that much anymore...
 
Lots of turn-based JRPGs from SNES, PS1 and GBA, the most iconic example would be Pokemon Emerald, which I used to play almost yearly. I think most of these were too simple and easy, with very few actual options to strategize to actually justify turn-based design, and most of then come very late in the game or are only really needed for optional content, so the constant random encounters feel like a chore, even if other aspects like music, story and pixel art are still great.
 
Maybe I'm just addicted to nostalgia, but I don't think I've ever had that experience where I just cant enjoy a game I used to love. I can always go back and play old games, even if they aren't "objectively" great games and have fun.
TMNT on NES and Dino City on SNES come to mind as "bad" games that I used to love, and I can still fire them up on the emulator and have a good time (when I'm in the mood).
 
I used to be a big Yoshi's Cookie fan. Also Mean Bean Machine(Puyo as a whole, really)

A lot of the puzzle games I played growing up have lost their luster for me as an adult. Bust a Move was my jam back in the day. Want nothing to do with that series now tho.
 
I used to be a big Kirby fan as a kid but for some reason that love mostly wore off...
 
Black on the PS2, the game was so cool when it came out, I remember going to a friends house and having my mind blown by how good it looked. When I got a copy of it I thought it was better than any COD game at the time. Went back to play it last year amd while it still has a few things going for it, it is kind of a slog and falls firmly into the brown military shooter craze of the 2000s.
Not a terrible game, but kind of boring now a days
