It's the old fight about people who like games but recognize that the console is bad and the people who fool themselves into thinking that the console is good because the games are.

And ^this kids is what we call flamebait, lol.

Nah I don't see it. Granted recently I've argued with many Ninty fans on this site when it comes to the latest versions of SSB3DS and SSBU but I think those are REALLY nit picking. They haven't really been heated anyway...

You do know you're just aiding vivster's argument instead of giving us a PSA, right?

On almost every gaming website I go to I see Nintendo fans constantly arguing and insulting each other about everything Nintendo.

Always arguing about games and features that their system should have. 

Now I know people argue about things within fanbases all the time. I mean for God's sake its the internet, but this has gotten WAY more prevalent and nasty with Nintendo nowadays.

Now that I think about it, its been happening for a couple years now.

What's the deal?

They're called opinions. I think it's actually kind of healthy that a lot of people have their own ideas about what makes a game great as opposed to simply accepting a general idea.

I haven't really seen it, but if I had to guess it's different ideas on what they should do, kind of like the Zelda fanbase.

The people that argue about Zelda are crazy. I have yet to play a Zelda game that I truly disliked. All of them are unique and interesting in their own way. I love how they all have their graphical/artistic styles and that Nintendo doesn't just pump out Zelda HD games like the tech demo one we saw. Each one needs to feel totally fresh and new and unique and timeless, otherwise they will look bad 6 months later compared to the competition. Skyward Sword is still an absolutely BEAUTIFUL game even on 480i/p.

It's about preference moreso than dislike in my opinion. The Zelda franchise, from what I understand, has taken many different directions and that leads to many differents opinions about which direction the next game should go because of what they like.


I've enjoyed each direction it's gone and I'll continue to do so.

if its the 'old fight' then every consoles sucked. I doubt thats the case and so should you.

Well it's not that old. Consoles only started to suck with the introduction of optical media. Before that you couldn't really complain about them since their only feature was playing a game and that, they did perfectly.

But with CDs came long loading times and the god awful memory cards which certainly made the experience worse compared to previous gens. Then of course came the internet and gen 7 which had the PS3 as the worst piece of console junk ever. Too slow for even its basic features like downloading, installing and browsing. Certainly dragged most experiences down with it.

Fast forward Gen 8. PS4 this time around managed to handle its basic functions aptly and I have so far no big complains other than the general graphical weakness. Wii U however brings me back to PS3 times with much of the same problems. Loading times, slower than necessary interface, no multitasking and to top it off even PS3 graphics.

Yeah, Wii U is not a good piece of hardware or software. Its games are good but it's hampered by troubles that are more reminiscent of last gen than this gen. That's why I can't understand people who say it's a good console just because it has good games.

Maybe I should make a thread about it.

Add that it has a nice UI to what you've already said and you have the misconception about Wii U.
