Did a new game just get announced? They'll hype it up to no end when seeing nothing more but a five second scene or maybe even a logo. When Nintendo announces a new character on a video game, it's almost as big as Nintendo announcing a game, and you'll see endless hype for those characters until they actually see new games created for them. The fanbase is pretty blind to third party titles as they can't be as good as first party in their eyes, even when exclusive on their own systems some of the time. Unlike Sony fans, Nintendo fans are actually critical of how the company is being ran. |
Actually, the bolded part is inaccurate. Nintendo fans got pretty excited about Rayman Legends, prior to the massive delay. Many were very excited about Monster Hunter Tri, The Conduit, No More Heroes, Little King's Story, Epic Mickey, Red Steel, Spyborgs (the original reveal, not the soulless travesty that the game ended up being to my knowledge), most Sonic games, Mega Man... you get the idea.
Nintendo fans are less likely to trust the quality of third party offerings than first party offerings, but have a tendency to be a lot more willing to wait and see rather than writing games off immediately.
