I seriously doubt these people who talk about third party games missing from Nintendo consoles would even get the Nintendo console if they released an equally powerful console to Sony and Microsoft. Look at the Gamecube and N64 era, third parties didn't support Nintendo then either and gamers didn't buy them much more than they're buying the consoles now.

Only reason they did buy the console more was because there wasn't a clear winner. And when I say clear winner, I mean a console everyone knows has won the generation a month out of the gate. Gaming media has jumped ahead by leaps and bounds these days and IGN is a household name for any gamers out there.

Chances are if you wanna play third party games like Assassins Creed or Metal Gear Solid then you probably aren't a big fan of Nintendo style games. Nintendo would be stupid to try and depend on third parties again. Even if Playstation and Xbox weren't a factor anymore and Nintendo was the only console on the market, gamers would simply go to the PC and Nintendo sales would go back up to Super Nintendo numbers.

Nintendo's strength is that they're innovative and they take risks. Those risks either pay off big time like the Wii or fall flat like the Wii U. Nintendo's Treehouse event at E3 last year is a perfect example, no other company would bother trying crazy stuff like that.

I love nintendo always have. Don't like playstation or xbox they usually have the same games. If I would ever want to play a third party game (I doubt it) I would get it on PC :)

I'd consider myself a Nintendo fan, even if they aren't my favourite manufacturer. You can most certainly be a fan of a company and enjoy the games which they make; whilst still appreciating the errors and enjoying other games/consoles for what they are and not through fan loyalty.

So as long as Nintendo keep pumping out great games I'll keep playing them. Simple as that.

Nah. I'm the biggest Nintendo hater alive! I'm serious.

I like them and want them to go third party. Poll is wrong. 

Yeah, I'd say I like Ninten a lot ; ) If there were more a mix of good 3rd party and RPGs, it'd be perfect for me.

I'm a fan of many many of their games.

I'm not a fan of the company, their hardware or many of their choices.

I consider myself a fan, but I don't think I fall into the poll. Mario, Zelda, and Smash are my favorites series, they make the best JRPGs right now. The Prime games were amazing. Wii Sports was amazing, ect. But I don't care for every single game they put out. Mario Party should be put to rest, Wii Music sucked, I never got why Star Fox was considered so OMGA. NSMB has worn out its welcome, ect. With a library that big this poll is like saying you can't be a DC fan if you think Aquaman is stupid.

If we are talking only about their games then I guess I am a fan, they're simply the best.

I would say yes but I don't want to directly associate myself with certain groups within the fanbase.

What does hating Nintendo have to do with going third party? Everyone who wants Nintendo to do that is saying so because they like their games.
