First off, welcome to Nintendo Fandom Wiki.
Second, a similar thing happenes to me. I've had a Wii for almost 13 years, and I moatly played LEGO Games up to the age of 8. Then one day I played New Super Mario Bros Wii, and soon after Super Mario Galaxy. I loved them, and found some older Mario Games online. I then found several other series because of the "related games" tab on the website I was using. Since then, I've played hundreds of games from many Nintendo series, and as a whole I love "retro" games or just older games in general
