Forums - Gaming - We have Sony Ponies and Xbots, but what is the proper nickname for rabid Nintendo fans?

RecordsForMe on 02 December 2020

In France, we called us Nkids, PlayStation players are called "niaises" which means "silly" and the XBOX players are called "bouseux" or "Xbot"

But I love the latest iteration of the usual Nintendo games, like Super Mario Bros. and the The Legend of Zelda.

We Nintendo fans are the most civilized and levelheaded gamers in the whole wide world. All thanks to us being affected by Nintendo’s wonderful games since childhood. We have a cultured past and presence.

To believe that this is not so... well, that’s what a fool would do.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

Never heard of any of these nicknames for Nintendo fanboys...or Sony Pony for that matter. Xbot is pretty much industry standard.

I don't really care for the fanboy wars, but for sake of brainstorming something catchy, I probably would go with Nintendon'ts or Nintendolts.

Nintendrone or drone seems to be the most widely used term.

That's what I use.

It is understandable to be fair, nostalgia is very powerful.

After a few generations of a franchise you can get very attached. I wasn't so much criticising the attachment, merely calling out some double standards that some fanboys have.

I am still attached to the old school Heroes of Might and Magic type games as well as turn based RPGs.

With Playstation, I can't get enough of Uncharted, Infamous and Ratchet and Clank.
