Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo has the most receptive fanbase for any gaming company

This is what I've noticed about Nintendo fans since I started surfing internet gaming websites about Nintendo fans that is NOT applicable to PlayStation, Xbox and PC gamers. These aren't all negative or positive, the company should be held upto some of these standards but on others I can agree with them. They are:

They don't complain about hardware capability of their system and its price to performance ratio.

They don't complain about lack of big AAA third party games on their Nintendo platform and are willing to spend more on another entirely different platform for that even though they want to play those games on their own platforms.

They don't mind having only a few new games to play every year.

They are highly excited for almost any game that is made by Nintendo because its made by Nintendo and looks fairly decent.

They like portable gaming as much as gaming on a TV or monitor.

They don't mind a lack of content, or don't perceive a less than 50 hour long game as a short game.

They prefer PIXAR like graphics over realistic graphics.

They prefer gameplay simplicity and accessibility over depth.

They are less critical of their company of choice over any issue and the criticism that comes from them for their preferred company is more constructive and doesn't consist of blanket statements.

They like playing retro games more than others.

They almost only discuss Nintendo games and not any third party games even when they do have other platforms to play most third party games that they say they bought to play those third party games.

Edit: These are based on comments on various sites, discussions and buying habits I've noticed. Rather than spewing hate for some of the statements that you don't agree with come up with a rational reply.

Hahaha, this is so wrong that I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll give the chance to another fellow Ninty gamer.

In what world is any game under 50 hours considered a short game?



seems like a vast generalization and sort of written from the direction of a hater; some of your statements are entirely false (even just the suggestion that Nintendo only releases a few new games a year is just stupid)



I love Nintendo with my heart and soul, but the Nintendo fanboys (And believe me I fall under a lot of these as well) can be just as negative, rude, biased, immature, and just plain ugly as any other fanboy. While I will say Nintendo fans are really dedicated towards their company and are willing to buy whatever they put out they're also Nintendo's biggest critics, sometimes for legitimate reasons and other times they just bitch needlessly.

LOL that is not true at all - coming from a PS4 only user)....Don't know where to start....

It would be way better if you could just point it out yourself. I want Nintendo fan's perspective. This is mine.

Many PlayStation, Xbox and PC gamers have this thing in their head, if its not 50 hours long its not worth sixty bucks.

Don't ask me why, I have no idea.

Not all these are negative comments, these are all just generalisations of Nintendo fans from what I've seen across the internet. Some of these are positive and some are neutral comments.



This will end fast

They don't mind having only a few new games to play every year.

They don't mind paying for ports of Nintendo games that are three years old and that they already own. (This could apply to PlayStation fans as well but only in case of Naughty Dog games)
