Nintendo Fanbase Stupidity General - Rants on the explosive fanbase

[whatever I feel like]

I don't think the issue is price hikes in general, Switch is tech competitive with PS4 era systems so pricing games at 70 would have made sense. The problem is they aren't doing that, they jumped ahead to 80 and went even further in Europe, going up to 90. Thats shit and people should point it out as such.

I am amused at the cope from some Nintenyearolds over the Switch 2 not being instantly sold out everywhere.

They were dead certain it would sell even better than the first Switch, even with the reheated tripe lineup, excessive game pricing and shitty screen quality.

Companies will always try and do the most they can get away with. Sure, inflation hurts revenue, but it also hurts the consumer's purchasing power at the same time. The price of games has been static for a while, but that's countered by the fact that the volumes sold have been increasing. Videogames aren't just a North America + Europe + Japan thing anymore, the rest of the world's gotten wealthier.

It's delusional to expect that a change in price wouldn't change consumer behavior at all.

The hardcore Nintendolts are nothing if not delusional.

Just look at all the retards acting like Breath of the Wild was the first open-world game ever.

I'd like to see that. I saw doom and gloom over the physical version of Cyberpunk for Switch 2 being sold out because it means people bought it in large enough numbers.

TLDW: Nintendo fans continue to run defense for Nintendo. This time offended about the news that the Switch 2 was hacked within 4 hours of release. Them doing things like tagging @ing the FBI and accusing the hackers of being broke.

Miyamoto could shit in a nintendo box and Nintendo fanboys would gladly pay for it.

Lately I've seen way more retarded screeching about "nintentoddlers" than from actual nintendo fanboys, imageboards are full of people crying among themselves over the fanboys while no fanboys are on the board. Reminds me a lot of the 00s consolewar faggotry where everyone was crying and hyperventilating about people playing on the "bad" consoles while they never actually played any games themselves.

I wonder if it's still the same people who've just been seething for two decades and it just finally burst?

The Nintendo fan base is weird these days. As someone who grew up around it, it has certainly gotten worse since the Switch. While it can be highly dependent on the subsection, so much of the fan base has gotten into grifting, /pol/, or other tard fights.

Obvious no-go zones are Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Smash. Animal Crossing and Splatoon have largely been co-opted by LGBT, meanwhile, Smash’s roster fagging has become insufferable since the floodgates bursted wide open to allow anyone to join.

Another big issue is that Nintendo fans are very isolated. You are potentially right in there not being many fans on 4chan or other boards, but that is because they stay in their own chambers. Nintendo fags are gamers who never leave the Nintendo bubble and believe only daddy tendo makes good games. To quote Scott the Woz, “if a character gets into Smash, that is a recognition that their franchise matters to gaming.” Many do truly believe Nintendo dictates the industry, regardless of them largely being trapped in their own corner and usually financially killing themselves for years at a time.

I don't agree that Nintendo fans are that isolated, compared to fans of Valve's games. DOTA 2's community, in particular, is even more isolated than even Nintendo game fans. Years ago, there was a blog post on Twitch with a chart that showed that DOTA 2 viewers had very little overlap with other games, in comparison with other games. It also mentioned that while viewership of most games have a noticeable decline when a new major Big Bucks video game title comes out, DOTA 2's viewership sees very little change in comparison when a new video game releases.

I still remember the Nintendo goons on SA and some of the bizarre shit that they would say on there. This was when the Wii was still the current thing and I can't imagine they've gotten any less weird.

They would constantly insist Nintendo basically owned the very concepts of "fun," "color," and "gameplay." No other console's games had those things. No exceptions. Have fun playing Bioshock, Fallout, RDR, etc? No you didn't. Nintendo has "fun" copyrighted. If it's not rainbow colored, cartoony, and involving lots of jumping between platforms it's just not worth playing.

Absolutely no other gaming company has ever innovated anything, and Nintendo has never once had a gimmick or fad. Dual screens? Motion controls? Buying toys to unlock things in-game? Life changing innovations that only Nintendo could create. They were oddly insistent that it was everyone else with the gimmicks. Dual controller sticks, HDMI, hard drives, VR, online gaming, all stupid gimmicks. Though they'd usually find a way to claim every new idea that caught on was somehow stolen from Nintendo.

The constant overblowing of the 1983 video game "crash" to paint Nintendo as some kind of savior that can do no wrong. Even today. They seem to think without Nintendo, video games in general just wouldn't exist now. At all. No one else would have made a console. So we should just let them be as anti-consumer as they want to be and praise them no matter what. They earned it.

M-rated games are for little children, while E-rated games are for mature Nintendo playing adults. This is because middle schoolers like to be edgy and play stuff like GTA, while true gamers enjoy Smash and Pokemon, and they're all like 40 years old.

The one that really weirded me out was the goon who grew up with Nintendo consoles, and wanted the same for his kid. Which to him meant keeping his own child in the dark about other consoles and companies existing. Just living in a Nintendo-only house. Not sure how he planned to accomplish that, but it makes me glad that goons don't tend to reproduce. It's probably been 10 years since I was on SA and that guy is probably still living at home and playing his Switch 2 right now.

I definitely remember this…

TBF, it wasn’t completely unfounded. Gaming in that pocket of late 00s and early 10s was very heavily concentrated around “mature” series like COD, Halo, GTA and Assassins Creed. Most AAA studios stopped producing a wide variety of genres to hit up the trend, leading to the deaths of many once prominent ones like platformers. Didn’t help that Japan struggled to switch over to HD. Nintendo, at the time, was the bizarre company clinging onto the 80-90s style of games.

That said, Nintendo fans can hardly say that helped prevent the downfall. So many of these tards act like TheBitBlock where even the genres they like, if the games are not made by Nintendo, they see them as not worth playing. Sony had a variety of 3D platformers that Nintentards would refuse to play because Crash bad, Ratchet bad, Mario good. Most of them boycotted Rayman Legends because they dared to go against daddy Tendo and do a multi-platform release.

M-rated games are for little children, while E-rated games are for mature Nintendo playing adults. This is because middle schoolers like to be edgy and play stuff like GTA, while true gamers enjoy Smash and Pokemon, and they're all like 40 years old.

Don’t forget the COD is the same game every year, while Nintendo only makes highly original games argument.

The other thing I just remembered was the number of goons who thought there was some sort of anti-Nintendo discrimination going on, which is why huge AAA games like Mass Effect, Final Fantasy etc didn't get released on the Wii.

Not because the Wii was a 6th gen console released during the 7th gen. Goons insisted that release date, not specs determined the console generation, so the reason they weren't playing Mass Effect with their Wiimote was because Bioware must hate the Japanese (no idea how they squared that with the PS3 being Japanese and having all the AAA games).

 

[Quijibo69]

Nintendo shit the bed when they did N64 and has been getting worse with just about every game system release since then. With that being said I hacked my Switch 1 a few months ago and now has been one of my favorite systems.

 

[Problematic User Forever]

The only person I know who bought a Switch 2 is a consoomer who has only played it a total of like 30 minutes since getting it. He's planning on rebuying the switch re-releases physically to put on his wall and stuff.

I'm just like...dude, come on.

Anyways, Nintendo should have released a Switch 2 like 2 years ago maybe. Steam Deck and all derivatives have kinda taken the wind out of the Switch 2's sails I feel like. Well, that and anyone with half a brain hating the new DK design and not giving a shit about Metroid Prime 4 after damn near 20 years.

TBF, Bioware didn't release Mass Effect 1 on PS3.

Sorry Chud, but DK is OBJECTIVELY better now:

Bless soulful Nintendo giving him more expressions.

I think they were going to. Covid really did a number on the game industry and I am assuming it created complications in releasing the new Switch. It is also likely why TOTK released after such a large gap, while being in the state it was in.

I'm never giving up MY Donkey Kong.

Reggie bath water.

I wonder if it's still the same people who've just been seething for two decades and it just finally burst?

I think it's both the old NES era fans, plus kids who grew up with N64, and kids that grew up with the Wii.

I don't agree that Nintendo fans are that isolated, compared to fans of Valve's games. DOTA 2's community, in particular, is even more isolated than even Nintendo game fans.

The difference is that Valve nutters rarely break containment. You can ignore Valve News Network and other Valve-fans pretty easily. At worst, they'll over praise Half-Life 2 again. Nintendo fans seem to go out and antagonize other fanbases.

eg. If you say Valve Index has hardware issues and is expensive. I doubt people will get mad. Say the switch 2 is too expensive however...

Sony had a variety of 3D platformers that Nintentards would refuse to play because Crash bad, Ratchet bad, Mario good. Most of them boycotted Rayman Legends because they dared to go against daddy Tendo and do a multi-platform release.

My go-to example for this was always the pixel art mascot platformer boom. It's settled down now, but at the time seeing them ignore games that did what they demanded, but ignore them because they have modern graphics instead of pixel art (Shadow Complex, Splosion Man), and if they did, they were shunned because they weren't Megaman, Blaster Master, or some other nostalgia favourite.

Anyways, Nintendo should have released a Switch 2 like 2 years ago maybe. Steam Deck and all derivatives have kinda taken the wind out of the Switch 2's sails I feel like.

I think what killed the Switch 2s momentum was the controversies. The price hikes, the physical copies with no game data, suing Palworld, that kind of thing.

The launch lineup is also nonexistent and devoid of any real heavy hitters. Mario Kart should be a big deal, but the whole project always had an aura of something being off about it. It had this very lifeless look and feel, regardless of the Tendies who continued to push the false narrative that the Wonder aesthetic made it soulful.

Donkey Kong is the only other game with a release date and it is just sort of weird? The new design is off putting and the lack of elements from either of the Rare or Retro takes on the brand make it feel spiteful. So much of DK’s hype seems centered around the possibility that K Rool may appear.

Other than those, what does Switch 2 really have? They announced that DEI basketball game which looked incredibly unfinished and like an asset flip game. Finally you had Air Ride 2, which is fine, but Air Ride was hardly the beloved title Nintentards believe it is. It honestly only had one good mode, which had 1 stage.

Nintendo really needed a big 3D Mario or Zelda, or something completely out there like Wii Sports was.

 

[The Last Stand]

Ah yes, let's not call out Nintendo on underpowered hardware, overpriced games and accessories, AND harsh DRM where the games are not completely stored on physical media.

That's because outside of the set pieces, most of the world is fairly bland if you actually go off road.
