I might not have that many consoles but am definitely not bored with any of the ones that I have at my collection, don't get the wrong idea even I do have games that sucks that doesn't mean that I don't love the catalog of titles that each one of them have also the fact that I don't have that much money/time available makes me appreciate more each one of them, call me crazy or old but at this part of my life still enjoy to play a NES title as much as a 360 game ;D

,or fell out of love with; got bored (in general, or the games on the system), or just no longer collect or have the passion for anymore?

PSP, Vita, PS3, XBOX 360, GameCube, 3DS, 32x, Jaguar and pre-NES consoles are all platforms I don't actively seek games for anymore. Either I mostly have everything I want for them, or just don't feel like playing them very often anymore. Except 32x and Jaguar, those really are just crap.

You seem to have strong love for the Wii, and Wii U?

Lately that's the mood I'm definitely in. I like that you can still find Wii and Wii U stuff at retail easier, and much cheaper than online currently. Even toying with the idea that I might try to collect a complete set of Wii U games for some reason, even though it would mean buying mostly shovel-ware. The console is nearly dead, and the library is pretty small.

Hmm.. Yeah but you could of done far worse; for sure, with shovel-ware if you decided to go for the Wii. Saw some guy who had a complete set. Kind of mind boggling to me that he completed it. The Wii U library doesn't seem like it's going to be massively large by the time the curtain shuts for the final time, and not as intoxicating with shovel-ware compared to the Wii.

I have maintained an interest in almost all these platforms, some of them my interest has even rose significantly for, such as the Saturn, original XBOX, PS1 and Wii. However a few consoles have lost their initial charm they had such as the SNES, Gamecube, GBA, and especially the NES. My declining interest in the NES was so profound that I decided that I would no longer actively collect for it and will only pick up games that I'm interested in if they are dirt cheap. In fact, I sold about 3/4 of my NES collection roughly a year or so ago just because I had little to no interest in collecting for it anymore. The only NES games I kept are a few I received as gifts, or ones I really, really like. I even sold certain titles like Mike Tyson and Contra, mostly because these games are very common if I ever wanted to get them again. Maybe it is because I have very little nostalgia for the NES or maybe because NES collecting is pretty crazy now, but I have almost no desire to collect for it.

It's the price its at now then? or It's the game library itself?

The prices on certain games are definitely a deterrent for me, but really it boils down to the library not appealing to me heavily. I find that with 95% of its library I get bored with easily, even games like TMNT 3 and Contra I often get bored with. They aren't bad games, I just really think it boils down to the system being before my time and not something that heavily appeals to me (btw, born in 1987).

What about the other 8 bit systems?

I have even less interest in the Master System or 7800. Partially because I do not see the games often and partially because I didn't know about either of these systems until years and years later after I started collecting, I've never had any interest in collecting for them. Even as much as I love Sega I've never had the urge to collect Master System games.

I use to have more of an interest in Sega Genesis, and while I still love the hard plastic cases for a lot of them, I basically lost interest in doing anything more with it, even with a soft spot for Sonic, even if they aren't a favorite of mine.
