Your opinion on going back to the younger days of gaming?

i started playing video games when the snes came out, and mortal kombat and mario were the first games i ever played. and from that point on until i was maybe 14 or 16 i had played the marios and zeldas all on my n64 and gameboy/gba. then i got my xbox and from there took off into the more mature games. i eventually got a gamecube, but didnt find myself loving it. later on i got my 360 and have been using it constantly since then. i have bought a ds and liked it at first and then got rid of it (unfortuantly this has happened many times through the use of trade ins X( and it has become a huge money waster). now my family has bought a wii for the lil ones in my house and i rarely touch it (sometimes i will find myself playing mario galaxy or zelda tp...before becoming very bored). now i do have a ds at the moment and will not trade it in...due to it being a waste of money. i would love to relive the days of being younger and being intrigued by those older nintendo games, but now a days (im 19 btw) i feel more compelled by the mature games such as cod or halo. my question is to anyone who has experienced this or who wants to chime in at all, is it possible to feel that kind of enjoyment again, and how? or do you just realize that your attempts are useless and you just go and enjoy what you have now? thank you for your time!
