When I was younger they definitely influenced what I played. I wouldn't have gotten into games like Xenoblade Chronicles 1, Pikmin, Kid Icarus Uprising, Luigi's Mansion, and Splatoon 2 if it weren't for Chuggaaconroy and wouldn't have gotten into Ace Attorney and to a lesser extent Danganronpa if it weren't for NintendoCapriSun. I don't regret a single one of those at all, but nowadays I guess they just don't fill me with the same desire to go and buy those games. I don't watch a lot of videos on games I've never played nowadays, so that's probably what's been causing that.
