| RolStoppable said: I very much disagree regarding the Nintendo fanbase. There's a fairly big group that thinks of NES and SNES titles as games that are only acceptable because of the technological limitations back then; so any suggestion that Nintendo should make new games like that are frowned upon. It's also pretty crazy to say that Nintendo fans tend to like all first party games when we had all that outrage over games like Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in mid-2013. Neither of these two games is by any means bad, but they were repeatedly called shit. What you are looking at in the Nintendo fanbase are a lot of different splinter groups, that's why it can look like all first party games are receiving love, yet at the same time Nintendo gets criticized a lot. The root of those different perceptions of what Nintendo is or what Nintendo should be like is Nintendo's inconsistency during their time in the video game business. Unlike Sony or Microsoft, there is not just one direction Nintendo took. |
Very true. The group OP mentioned are those who i generally consider the worst of the Nintedno fanbase (like i mentioned above), but the fanbase as a whole is very fractured.
They aren't necessarily any better/worse for it, but it's a hell of a lot more entertaining for an outsider
