    Turning old (beginning of middle age) has really messed with my perception of forever (or “ages” in this case) how long has it been out, 5 years now? That seems like not too long of a time.

      In real time it’s been longer than it was from NES to Super NES. For the teenagers clearly doing most of the commenting on these Nintendo posts, they were in elementary or middle school at launch. Now they’re in college.
