Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo is doomed, a personal story.

If we have to live with Nintendo fanboys you should be able to endure a few doom threads now and then.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Who the hell plays Happy Wheels? How old is your cousin?

 

You have to be a complete moron to say games like Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Super Smash Brothers, Kirby, and much more are trash, but manage to find Happy Wheels fun. 

 

Seriously, how can you hate Nintendo but somehow find Happy Wheels enjoyable?  I'd recommend talking with him, perhaps giving him a beating or two. Make sure the lesson is engraved within his head.

Couldn't they just, you know, get him to play Nintendo games WITHOUT smacking him?

No.

It's the internet. And look, i typed "Sega should" here's what i get:

Sega should make a new console.
Sega should buy Capcom.
Sega should make consoles again.
Sega should sell Sonic.

Yeah i know. I believe its envy what motivates those people.
I dont want any company to fail and i welcome every new console that this industry gets.

I think its just a teenage age thing with a few mixed in older ages who repeat this constant hating crap. I'm in my 20's and practically EVERYONE I know in my friend group likes SOME Nintendo stuff and is fond of the company, whether its because of Zelda, Pokemon, or Super Smash Bros.

I would just ignore the haters, they're not in such a majority like it sometimes appears, its just haters are by far the loudest in a crowd.

Nintendo will be fine

Ha! Well, still, that's just as noteworthy. Maybe moreso.

They do! although I don't care if they are not number 1. They could be successful without being the best seller! 

I'm excited cause it looks like the nx is going to be the most powerful handheld ever!

They can be successful without selling more than PlayStation, but I am not of the opinion that Nintendo should settle for #2 when they have the IPs, talent, funds and worldwide recognition to be #1. Nintendo themselves should have the same aspirations.

Maybe it's because I'm on VGC, a forum where Nintendo fans are heavily represented, but I don't see that many users dooming Nintendo. There are a few, but there are also a few Nintendo fans that are equally bad in the other direction. Honestly, the occassions where Nintendo doom posts are most prevalent are when we get positive Nintendo news, and then we get some Nintendo fans saying "Nintendo: doomed since 1889" or something like that.

Like I said, there are a few, but not many. Or maybe I'm just subconciously ignoring them because I know Nintendo aren't doomed, so I don't worry.

I've seen a similar sentiment being expressed in the recent past, but back then it looked like a poster would have to explicitly say the words "Nintendo is doomed" while all possible variations and implications of it did not qualify as doom posts. I think you aren't doing the same here.

You are probably ignoring them, because the recent news of Pokémon Go success spawned plenty of threads and posts that said that Nintendo should go third party. That is, of course, a variation of "Nintendo is doomed". The sheer number of those posts made them hard to be overlooked, but if you always chuckle at them or simply ignore them for being nonsensical, then they aren't as much of an issue.

That may be how you and a few others see it but no, that's not true for the ones who are saying it should go third party.  Nintendo going third party is not nintendo is doomed. That's nonsense.

I would say the constant posts about Nintendo should go third party because I want to by their games on *insert console here* are pretty toxic themselves. These guys still wish for quite a bit of Nintendo's staff to get fired so they can play *insert franchise here* on another console.

Agreed, a far cry from those that just literally want Nintendo to fail, but it isn't like the others notion of a third party Nintendo is a wonderful gesture either.
