Everything Nintendo-related he did? Such as? I've only seen 2 or 3 articles. Only one was badly recieved.
"that infamous Nintendo podcast that IGN put together for the sole sake of garnering traffic"xD Nintendo voice chat was put together before daemon was even at IGN, it's not "infamous" in the slightest, unless you are talking about a specific episode.
"If you only followed his work when it comes to the HD consoles, he might actually be quite decent at his job." I think he's a lot more than "quite decent" at it, I'm pretty confident in saying he's actually one of the best reviewers around, I've seen plenty of people who will agree with that. He also hosts and produces the most popular gaming podcast on the internet. Look, after listening to him on his show for the last year and a half, it's clear that he's very objective when it comes to things he posts on the site, and I think he's probably the only editor at ign that doesn't have a clear preference to one system or company. Also, he's a nice guy.
I won't go into detail as to why I defend this guy so much, but do you see my point here? You can't judge him as a whole based on a few articles. That's like judging Speilberg on Gremlins 2. (Not comparing Speilberg to Hatfield here lol)

Yes, I am talking about a specific episode. Read a summary here, a link to the podcast itself can be found at the bottom of the same post. The summary also includes a complaint about Hatfield's WiiWare reviews and it seems to be a general theme that Hatfield doesn't like the Wii because it's not another HD console.
I can see your point and I've acknowledged it in my previous post when I talked about the different perceptions people can have about Daemon Hatfield. In the same way, you should be able to see why he doesn't rank highly among Nintendo fans.

Alright. Yeah he's not a fan of the Wii, he thinks it's gimmicky and dated, I and most other people would probably agree but he wasn't the best person to review wii games.
