"Nintendo" is redundant here, hardcore fans of every brand do this.

Not exactly. Yes, several people from all fanbases do it but this is a thread about IGN and a Nintendo game. So the Nintendo part is not redundant the same way it will not be if we have a review from Polygon for Blooborne and Sony fans praise Polygon for it (despite their comments about the site as a whole after their The Last of Us review). No matter the score, I know I will still regard their review trash, because that's my view of Polygon and its complete lack of integrity. 

But hypocrisy is the religion of fanatics of every flag. I personally think of all reviews are just opinions, and I don't factor them into my purchases. But the practice of hating then accepting a reviewer based on whether they align with one's company of choice or not happens with Sony fans, Xbox fans, and Nintendo fans.
