Recently, when proclaiming my love for Super Mario 3D World, I was informed that I was "fanboying" too hard. This and a number of other comments made to me recently have led me to the conclusion that many here see me as a Nintendo fanboy.

Now, it's true I see Nintendo as the single best game developer in the industry. But this specific term, "fanboy" carries with it stronger connotations than that; a blind love for the company no matter what, seeing all they make as automatically golden, and a view of their competitor's products as inherently bad and inferior.

Why I don't fit this definition:

- Throughout this year, I've criticized Nintendo more than most of the people labelled "haters".

- Some of my favourite games of the 7th gen weren't even on Nintendo consoles; Bioshock, Bayonetta, Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space, Uncharted 2.

- I own a 360, a PS2, a PS1, an original Xbox, and a Sega Megadrive. I am open to getting a PS4 or an Xbox One.

- I hate, hate, HATE Smash Bros. All of them.

- I dislike plenty of other beloved Nintendo games, including Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Mario Kart 64.

- Don't even get me started on Metroid Other M.

Ok...

Sounds like someones in denial

I think people think you are a Nintendo Fanboy cause of your sig and avatar + any Nintendo related threads you make...

If I were to change my avatar into a ps logo with a Sony Rulez sig and made a thread about how great Uncharted is, I would probably be called a Sony fanboy even though I consistently posted how dooooomed the vita is

can i hug you now??

You dislike Wind Waker, you should be banned... now seriously, does it really matters if you're a fanboy or not? if you like the damn games you're good enough.

It's okay Curl.

Your love of all things Nintendo makes you blind to your love of all things Nintendo.

Don't take it personally. To many all you have to do to be a Nintendo fanboy, is not constantly hate everything they do.

u rely a lot in the "this is the best thing evah" statement so...
