"How come there are so many nintendo fans here?"
They're all over. The Wii is selling like crazy. Its like asking how come there are so many ipod fans on the apple website.

Are you sure about Digg and Kotaku? I've never seen the question asked there "Why are there so many Nintendo fans?". |
Digg, absolutely sure: I see it in Gaming threads all the time. They usually get dugg down by all the Nintendo fans :p
Kotaku, pretty sure, but not absolutely. I've definitely seen tangential comments, such as "I'm the only one defending the 360 here, so..." or "And now it's time to get flamed by the legions of Nintendo fans.." and such.

Fuzzmosis said: No! But it haves a huge library so it is possible that it have the best games of the last gen. Nights, which I hadn't even heard of till people began salivating over a potential Wii Version, is extremely high ranked and it's on a system that most people didn't play. Somehow, selling the most hardware instantly gives you the best software? |
The only problem is that it is very strange that the most games who scores high are Nintendo games and that PS games lik FFVII have a bad score.

Oh ya I got MGS in the top ten. lol, I only vote on games I play.

| MikeB said: It seems any console released by Nintendo is regarded higher here than any other effort, also if you look at the game ranking the top 10 is completely dominated by solely Nintendo games, while other fine games for other systems score well below review averages. How come this website is so much Nintendo fan dominated? Did this website receive more coverage on Nintendo community sites or something? BTW, I very much like the PS2 game Jak 3 which on average scored a measly 3 (!) on a scale of 1 to 10 from other VGchartz voters... This doesn't seem right, I recently bought the game based on some lofty media reviews. |
lol, yeah, i noticed that too. =))
just seeing that best games are ONLY made on nintendo consoles, looks unbelievable. :)
maybe here just too much mario boys and zelda boys? =)) because most games in top are mario or zelda related. :)))
i mean NO God of War or MGS??? =]

That is how it is supposed to be. If only the internet could track that.
| Tispower said: I think that the order of games should really be done on sales, and the user score just added, but not particularly important, I mean it is a sales website after all. @Fuzzmosis, I guess your annoyance with GT3 is just because you have a difference taste in games, which is why average user scores is a pretty bad idea, because they are affected by extreme values, what would be much better is to take the review score from a reputable rating site, and say, make that score worth 50% of the vote, so therefore the user scores still make a difference, but not as much. Also I am incredibly confused as to why there are so many NES/SNES games so high up, I know they were great in their time, but surely they can't be *that* great now. I guess it must be something to do with nostalgia, perhaps I'm too young to understand it, as the only thing I would say I have nostalgia for are the Pokemon games for GBC & GBA, ie Red and Gold. |
It is not fanboys that rate nes and Snes games so high. The problem is that these games have 5 or less votes sometimes. This way, the 5 people that played the game rate it 8 to 10. When the game make its way to the first page a troll come and gives it a 2. That happened with one of my favorite games ever: Tales of Phantasia for Snes. I made a nice descriptionreview for it and gave it a 10. It was on the top with a score of 8.7 (4 votes). Later the game had a average of 6. Of course the ones who gave the game a 4 or 5 have not played it.
The problem is that when a troll look at a game like Kyrby with a score of 9, they get annoyed and rate it 3.

| MikeB said: @omgwtfbbq Way to selectively quote. I think I said "Wiis and DSs" which would account for about 45 million people (assuming half of Wii owners are double dippers) If you can't see the writing on the wall yet, then take a step back and wait until next year. It's plainly obvious which system the old PS2 owners are buying right now, and it's not the PS3. Some people may be slow to realise this, but it will come to you next year I'm sure. Not much has changed with regard to handheld consoles. Gameboys have been dominating the handheld market since release. The only difference is that now there's good competition from the Sony PSP, unlike the Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear were able to provide. I bought my sister a Gameboy Advance (which was stolen...) and I and my girlfriend own 2 Nintendo DSes, yet I prefer a PS3 as a home console. IMO speaking like the way you do makes you a blind fanboy, as there are too many different factors to take into account for you or anyone else to be so sure about this all so early after the Nintendo Wii and PS3's release. |
plenty has changed with regards to handheld consoles. The DS is tracking to be the fastest selling handheld ever, despite the fact that it "lost" 20 million sales to the PSP. What does that say? People are buying handhelds now that didn't before, and the majority of those are buying Nintendo.
Congratulations on your purchases. I know people who own a PS2, Wii, and DS. Does that prove my point? no. Anecdotal evidenceis not proof.
What is proof is the sales numbers. You have to be blind if you think that just the regular hardcore Nintendo fans are purchasing Wiis. You can think I'm a blind Nintendo fanboy if you want, but that just goes to prove my point ;). The previous home console I purchased before I got a Wii, was a Playstation. The Wii is actually my first Nintendo home console.
I'm no blind fanboy, I am simply looking at the only proof anyone can have, and that's the sales trends. You can think that there are 80 million Playstation 2 owners sitting waiting for a price drop on the PS3 if you want. If that makes you happy, then go ahead and think that. If you can't see the sales changing yet, then it will come to you eventually. I'm sure you will be screaming "Wait until next year, the PS3 will come back" all the way to the launch of the PS4, just like most other Sony fanboys. And hey, it might be true. But if you can look at the software sales worldwide and think that there are more people playing Sony machines than Nintendo machines right now, then you are the blind one.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
MGS or God of War were never that great. God of War was pretty sweet, but neither one of them ever got that much praise. Me thinks the Hardcore is speaking for the rest of the gamers out there.
As for this site, yes there are more Wii people that Sony or Microsoft. But the only thing that Wii people do is take for example the game ratings board, we pump Nintendo titles through the roof. Or if Sony people insult our console we reply in mass. Other than one or two oddballs we are pretty nice otherwise.
Beyond that Nintendo people get no special treatment from the mods.
