They don't know what they want. 

When Nintendo tries to cater to the "hardcore" gamers, fans claim that Nintendo is either changing for the worse and it needs to cater to their casual fans.

When Nintendo caters to the more "casual" fan with it's old franchises, (Pokemon, Zelda, Mario) fans claim that Nintendo either won't change up their forumla and get with the new generation of games; or that they need to cater to the "hardcore" fan more.

Basically, internal strife with Nintendo fans. It's just kind of annoying. I realize that it might be hard for Nintendo to change the type of games they make compared to Microsoft and Sony; mainly just because they've been doing it longer and seen much more of their success in the past (all the way back to the 80's)

The past couple generations ahve been quite hit/miss with Nintendo's success and I don't think the fans can agree on what they want. The gamecube (while a sweet console with some cool games) was a failure; the Wii was a great success, and the Wii U (so far) has been a failure. 

Any thoughts??? I'm not trying to diss Nintendo or their fans; but it's just kind of annoying and it bugs me when you have those "wannabe hardcore" Nin-gamers and the loyal fan who dislikes hardcore games.

I'm annoyed that we even have threads like this.

Bottom line, there's annoying fanboys from all camps and persuasions.

Go play more games and worry less about fandom in general.

"Currently own:

Ps4"

Yeah, that's the same reason I don't like PlayStation fans, obvious troll is obvious, get off the internet.

^exactly this!

I can see where this is going and i'm going to put the brakes on this now.

Take that big chip off your shoulder, stop bitching and Enjoy whatever machine you have

Or maybe Nintendo Fans are very diverse? Some want hardcore games, some want party games, and some just want their Pokemon. If somebody says on the Internet he want more games like Bayonetta and it only sells a few thousand units, you can assume this guy was one of them.

That's mainly what non-Nintendo fans claim.
And the Gamecube was a finical success.

Personally I haven't seen these perspectives particularly often. Furthermore finishing a post with "I'm not trying to dis Nintendo fans", doesn't ring particularly true after starting with "....I don't like Nintendo fans"

obviously not every Nintendo fan has the same opinion/tastes just like any other fanbase so it seems odd that u think all Nintendo fans should agree on one thing. u would have a point if specific individuals kept changing their minds on what direction Nintendo should go but ur talking about millions of people.

just be happy, play games.
