You mean those "They should make a new F-Zero.." "No they haven't made a console Fire Emblem in ages!" But.. but FE x SMT is coming soon..." "That doesn't count you moron" arguments? I've not seen any worse than that, and that isn't much worse than any other fanbase imo.

Edit: Forgot about those Zelda discussions.


Yeah, the Zelda discussions get pretty bad haha

What's up with the profile pic copycats?! Yes I'm looking at some of you three guys up there... Took me ages to make it!! Print screen from a youtube video and using paint to scale it etc. Or is this some kind of prank!

Hehe a bit off topic... I'm just not used to see that pic anywhere else than from me, so I saw those posts and thought, what the hell, I haven't written that..



Yep.

If you say so. Do expand on this thought though and explain exactly how. 

You're trying to disprove vivster by saying he's baiting and therefore you are pretending that that stance doesn't exist, when what you posted was defining what vivster said.

I don't see any Nintendo VS Nintendo stuff.... just a bunch of Xbox and PS fanboys who hate Nintendo just for the sole fact its Nintendo and nothing more, who then decide to be immature children to the fanbase of Nintendo. (Not stating every Xbox and PS user does this, and not stating users of Nintendo does this, because they do as well)

Usually just Smash and Zelda pages where I find people arguing, but not like a civil war lol. What I see is that it isn't just Nintendo fans, it's every fanbase. It's like everybody feels the need the need to complain over everything and most of the time it's just silly things like a game thats been revealed, but somebody doesn't like it so they go around shitting on it and then it causes and arguement against people who do.

Like people can't just leave it. At the end of the day it's just a game and there is plenty of others to choose from. I just don't bother with arguments any more. Not interested in all the negativity when I could actually play the game I like and enjoy it.

How exactly is it defining what Vivster said?

Because you're "fooling" yourself into thinking that stance doesn't exist... and vivster said, "...fool themselves into thinking that the console is good because the games are." I'm drawing a parallel because you're fooling yourself into thinking people who fool themselves to think the Wii U is good aren't real. 

Or maybe I can take a jab in the dark and say you fool yourself into thinking the Wii U is good and that's the reason you replied to his post by claiming it's baiting. /s

Lol, one bolded has nothing to do with the other bolded. Not to mention the first bold "I'm only "fooling" myself" would only apply if Vivster's version of the Civil War did exist.

The second statement just seems to be you jumping to conclusions without anything backing it up. You're drawing parallels and taking jabs in the dark which again only make sense if you already believe in this civil war, lol. 

It doesn't support his statement at all, and the only way one could even take it as I did is if they already believed what he wrote anyways. Beyond that, you just see the plain simple truth that it was flamebait. 

Thank you for your time though.

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?

no proof.

no topic.

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.


Any hardware can only be as good as its software is. 

So the Wii U has superb hardware. And while PS4 and Xone are more powerful - both fail to define "next-gen" as they don't offer anything beyond graphical sugar.
