IGN hates Nintendo

My point was that IGNs criticism isn't exclusive to Nintendo. They've said dumb things about the other consoles as well, but the Nintendo fans on this site seem to think that the world is out to get Nintendo, when realistically they just pick and choose what they want to hate or classify as bias, just so they can have a weak argument to use when it comes to stupid things like console comparisons, sales comparisons or software comparisons. Saying 'IGN are biased and they hate Nintendo!' is easier than just admitting that the thing they like may have a few issues.

If you can link me to the articles your reffering to then that'd help, but it still doesn't change that it's just their opinion, it's not like Mario isn't being overused, Nintendo wasn't sucking from 2008 until 2010 in terms of releases, they haven't been lazy when it comes to creating a decent online store or game network and the lack of online in NSMBWii does make it less favorable (for the reviewer) when it's a game based around multi-player. I've also played some PSN/XBLA games that have looked better than NSMBWii and actually have an online system. If they said that Mario Galaxy was a horrible game, that full backwards compatability was a stupid feature, that it was hard to develop for or that it didn't have any good games at all, then this thread would make sense. 

Besides the closing comments to the 3DS review, I didn't ready any of the IGN articles on the device and that's because I have more trust worthy sites that I visit for my reviews and articles. IGN aren't good at what they do, they make mistakes in plenty of their articles and reviews and rarely retract them, that doesn't make them bias against Nintendo, it just makes them bad journalist.
