I guess. I only buy a few games for my Wii U but I do actually play them a lot.

What is the definition of a ''real'' Nintendo gamer?

Well Nintendo only make a few worthwhile games each gen so that cant really be helped now can it.

hmmm? I think you are lowballing Nintendo here, the lack of third party support for their latest home consoles is one thing but the quality of the games Nintendo develop is definately top of the game. I cant come up with any other developer that comes close to Nintendo in terms of overall quality games, there are a few companies that releases overall good games but not as often as Nintendo.

As for the topic:

I would definately consider myself a big Nintendo fan, I have over 400 games for their homeconsole systems including over 250 for the NES complete in the box and among them the infamous Stadium Events, so I would say I am in the safe :P

No. I just forget to update my game purchases on your thread,lol. I'm lazy like that!

I don't have the money or time to buy every game when it releases. I work full time, am married, and have a backlog of games the size of the development time for Duke Nukem Forever in months. I still have games I haven't played on Steam that I bought during the summer steam sale 2 years ago that I haven't had time for (AND my brother in law shared all of his hundreds of freaking Steam games with me so now I'm REALLY overwhelmed) please a decently huge amount of old DS/Wii games I never got around to playing plus Wii U games (I'm finally caught up on all my 3ds games). I am currently playing Windwaker HD (which I half own) and I literally just bought Bayonetta 2 the other day at Target (after months of deliberating whether or not I wanted to play a game that looked that dirty, but alas the story sounded interesting and the gameplay look amazing so I caved in).

guess so since I check news every day
bitch about how uk doesnt like nintendo games
etc.

I'm just here for news and funny conversations once in a while. To kill time. It depends on the game as to how much time I put into it. So far in Smash I have put in 83:45 hours into Smash Wii U... Wow, that's a lot of time for me lol. Captain Toad on the other hand I have been trying to stretch out, if that makes sense, and I have only put in 1:47 hours, so not a whole lot. I don't like to burn through games too quickly lol. Hyrule Warriors I have put in 47:43 hours, but not many recently. So with that limited knowledge, you tell me what you think I am. I'm not big on the 'titles' as a gamer lol. 

The notion that you're somehow a poser if you don't play as many games as people who dedicate their life to it is ridiculous.

How is someone like that a poser? They're completely honest about what they are - someone who likes Zelda, Pokemon, Smash or Mario Kart.

There's no fine line here, you can like some Nintendo games without liking them all, and that's perfectly fine.

The logic that you either like it all - or most of it - or you're a poser, simply doesn't hold up. Life doesn't work in a "it's all or nothing" way. Billy Joel is one of my favourite musicians, but I really only like 5 or so of his songs.

Nintendo's games appeal to lots of different demographics, but all the games don't appeal to all the demographics. Hyrule Warriors appeals to a completely different group of people than Yoshi's Yarn does. It's very much possible to be in both groups (I am), but that doesn't make you any more of a real fan, and being in only one group certainly doesn't make you a poser.
