Considering how they seem to mind their own business I don't think they need a name. Nintendo fans seems right.

They do?

Try this... say Breath of the Wild and compare it to absolutely any other open-world game and see what happens.

This.

Also, say that another consoles 1st party game sales hit "Nintendo levels" (which is a compliment) and see what happens.

if we go by votes the choice is obvious

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I guess nothing really caught on on a universal level. Probably due to Nintendo just doing it’s own thing



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Nintendrone
Someone who has a blind, undying love for Nintendo and all it's products. They will protect the hive until death, fighting for their favorite video game company. Known to get into giant flame wars with fanboys for other systems/companies, they can rally the troops at a moment's notice.

Xbot
A person who is blindly, fanatically loyal to Microsoft. Will immediately buy anything with the Xbox logo and mindlessly insult anyone who doesn't share their fanaticism, and would proclaim a blank disc with "Halo" scribbled on it to be the greatest game ever made. Rarer than the Nintendrone, but no less lame.

sony pony
A hypocritical fan of Sony's gaming consoles. Someone who will go out of their way to defend Sony at any costs. Will also often spout the words "day one buy" in various forums in regards to any Sony exclusive game, or Sony hardware. However they never end up buying these items. Usually someone who is too busy trashing what others like, instead of actually playing what they enjoy. Often thinks Sony invented everything in gaming, not realizing that Sony actually steals ideas from both Nintendo and Microsoft.

Nintendo is best and their fans are the most highly evovled spiritual beings.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

"What do you call a rabid fan of Nintendo products"

IDK, sane probably.

Jokes aside, Nintendrone is probably the best IMO. Nintendork is kinda funny. Nintendoodie is my favorite.

In my humble opinion, Nintendo should not be forced to pay taxes.

Before that guy's doom and gloom prophecies on Sony and MS miserably failed, many Nintendolibans were Malstromites too.

My pick from the old console war days is Nintentards.
I see them as those that are willing to bend in any direction that Nintendo strategy blows, rather than demanding what they like from Nintendo.
Whether it was the blue ocean strategy or motion controls. Where others saw one hit gimmicks, Nintentards see revolutionary innovation. They will criticise brand new franchises as generic but will swoon over the latest iteration of usual Nintendo games like Super Mario Brothers, Kart, or Zelda.

As a Sony fan I can definitely say that they are far from perfect, whether its censorship in games or mismanaging the launch of the PS5, at least in places like Australia. For me humble Sony is best Sony.

Strangely enough most of my online battles in years past have been against Nintendo fanboys whereas I could usually find some common ground with X-Box fanboys.
Thankfully the flame wars of the past aren't being repeated and most gamers are enjoying their consoles of choice now which is awesome.
As Rick James would say, it's a celebration b###es, enjoy yourself!
