What's up with all these awful comments from Nintendo fans?

The amount of Sony published Vita games is not that far from the amount of Nintendo published Wii U games. So why all the shit talking? I thought we were done with that. Silly me XD

My post is informing the thread creator what it actually means to give a fanbase the middle finger. A few days ago he had trouble to determine that.

As for the lists of Wii U and Vita games, it should go without saying that Nintendo's list has a far higher pedigree than Sony's. Sales of the individual games show the same thing: Nintendo did a much better job at supporting the Wii U than Sony did with the Vita.

I for one do not see your post as an insult, or in any way a middle finger to Vita gamers. Everyone is intitled  to their own opinion, whether its right or wrong. I openly welcome all gamers to post their views, that to me is the beauty of freedom and individuality.  I was never a fan of the Wii U, but no one can deny that it too had a good selection of games in its lifespan.

Mike, where is all this coming from?

1: Nintendo fans are calling WiiU detractors "fanboys"?

2: Nintendo fans are talking trash about Vita?

3: VGChartz is turning into Neogaf for Nintendo fans?

I've been pretty active lately, and I'm not seeing evidence of this stuff. Can you point me in the right direction?

1: I haven't visited the site a lot during all the post E3 bs but in some of threads I saw several Nintendo fans agreed that the "PS fanboys" were "toxic" because of their "hate" towards Nintendo's E3. What the "PS fanboys" said was something about Nintendo didn't beat the PS and Xbox E3 conferences by only showing 2 games for a "failed" console. Apparently, that was not ok to say. In this thread however, it's the total opposite. Double standards? No?

2: Besides, this thread's "dead", "no support", "nothing more than a peripheral", "abandoned in 2012", "waste of resources", "latest fad", "delusional", "joke", "middle finger", etc? If these comments for some reason aren't eligible, just look up another Vita thread and you'll have more "fine" words.

3: If most PS fans got tired with the site, wouldn't it more or less be a site for Nintendo fans like Neogaf is for Sony fans?

The comments and threads post E3 were awful. Fans from all sides gloating and downplaying. Nintendo fans didn't have a monopoly on that.

I'm a proud Vita owner, but let's be real. The system IS dying. First-party support started drying up in 2014. The middle finger comment is an allusion to another provocative thread.

PS fans are either the majority on this site, or, at the very least, equal in number with Nintendo fans. They're hardly an oppressed minority.

I just don't see what you're seeing.

I just don't see what you're seeing.

1: I completely agree. Though I don't see why you feel the need to defend Nintendo fans in general. I'm talking about this specific thread that we're commenting in right now. If you don't see some poorly chosen words about the Vita then no, you don't see what I'm seeing.

2: No need for the "let's be real" part. I wrote a post to Machina 3 hours ago agreeing that it barely has a future and a post 4 hours ago saying that support from SCE could've been much better.

3: No, I agree. Where did PS fans being an oppressed minority come from? I said that if threads like this filled with trash talking continue to be accepted and if it resulted in many PS fans leaving the site, VG would pretty much become a Nintendo only site.

I'm just sick of all the gloating and downplaying that've invaded my former favorite community. But let's leave it at that.

We're probably on the same page then.

Anyway, I hope you'll continue to post here and contribute to the dialogue. I know it can be frustrating at times - especially for fans of Vita, WiiU, and Xbox One - but we need people like you brave enough to challenge the status quo.

So I hope you won't Mikexit

Only $199.00.  And don't ask about the memory cards until after the initial purchase.

Dragon's Crown rocks on this thing.

It's actually $170 right now, but I have the OLED/3G model, so it's not urgent that I get one. 

 

Muramasa > Dragon's Crown 

I have Muramasa too but I have'nt had time to try it yet. Better than Dragon's Crown huh. Hmm. But this is a good point, their are so many really good games out for the Vita right now, most people would'nt be able to play all of them. The system has a huge library and many games can be found used and cheap.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

No worries.

Oh yeah, forgot that Vita was released in Japan in December 2011. Same year as the Wii U in the West.

Wii U hit the west in November 2012.  Japan a few weeks later.

 

I'll rephrase: The Vita was released in the West in early 2012 and the Wii U was released in the West in late 2012.

But yeah. You already corrected yourself to 1 year instead of 2 so we're on the same page now XD

Not just found used, but if you check out the PSN sales which change every 2 weeks there is normally a handful of great Vita titles to be had, or if not directly then you can check out some of the Cross buy stuff from Ps3 to Vita, PSP to Vita or even a lot of the newer Indie Ps4 titles come crossbuy with the Vita from PSN store.

And aye, agreed that the average gamer would have a hard time playing through all of the worthwhile vita titles on offer... but are sadly hearing nothing more than echos of no games and legacy console before looking at the actual giant pile of software which the system has.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Your comparing two systems that have no future to make the VIta look good.

I hoped one of you would make that comment.

I enjoy my Wii U very much but I don't think the quality of its library is that different from Vita's (which I also own and enjoy).

 

But it's amusing how much you guys seem to enjoy trash talking other consoles especially when the library of that console isn't that different from one that "could end up as the best Nintendo console ever if a new Metroid and F-Zero are announced".

:)

Hahahaha! You have no idea how much Hate the Wii U gets online compared to the PSVita! And in fact! Barley anyone is talking about the Vita! Even Sony! 



Pocky Lover Boy!

1: Online? Perhaps. On VG? Lol. The Wii U doesn't get much hate compared to Vita on this site. Non Nintendo fans are banned if they call Wii U "dead", "waste of resources", "no support", "abandoned in 2012", etc. That's not the case for Vita.

2: Exactly! That's why it's even more tiresome that people are downplaying and gloating in these few Vita threads.
