Why would anyone be annoyed at someones preferences if they do you no harm?
Why be stupid? Does it make you happy to be stupid?

Refuses to play a competitor's game or on a competitor's console, favorite RPG is Pokemon with no close 2nd, catches every Direct and will not shut up about it at work the next day no matter how good, bad or mediocre it was, tries to collect every Amiibo , only watches Arlo and Nintendo Life channels on YouTube, refuses to hear criticism of Nintendo's games and business practices and on and on.

I almost felt called out her... But thankfully only the bolded applies to me..

Anyways as long as they're having fun I really don't care what they do... Used to have a coworker who had never beaten a game in his entire life because he only played CoD multiplayer... Not something I would do but he was having fun...

In current year 20xx it's kinda bizarre to think anyone is still fighting in the Console Wars. I don't know what kinda of person would let so much of modern gaming just pass them by out of sheer loyalty to any one system or manufacturer.

I mostly play on Nintendo, and up until the late Gamecube era, I've only owned Nintendo consoles and handhelds. I got a PS2 in 2006, and tend to get a Playstation console rather late in said console's lifespan (I got a PS3 in 2013, and I got a PS5 in March of this year).

Even on Nintendo consoles, I play a number of third party and indie games.

it's not typically an informed preference in my experience, it's more often than not just someone's limited exposure and stubbornness against expanding their horizons that causes them to be this way
100%, it's always this "nintendo is the best" mentality, despite never trying other games. mario mario mario, zelda zelda zelda, nothing else even registers, they just plug their ears and keep pretending nintendo isn't decades behind on the services they provide

Not really.
You're never ever fully dressed without a smile!
it's impossible trying to talk to nintendo fans about why and how the online is garbage, for example, because they don't know what the standard of quality has been since like the 2000s

People who don't understand that everyone has individual tastes are as bad as people who refuse to try anything else. Let people enjoy what they like.
the problem is that people that enjoy mediocrity and subpar performance end up keeping the bar low and unenjoyable for anyone with standards. i'm positive when the new mario kart, smash, splatoon, etc come out, the online will be just as barebones and dysfunctional, and i'll still just be called a hater and told to "let people enjoy things" when i say it should be better than what the DS/wii/etc offered for free

and you know they learned nothing from pokemon, regarding game performance. the consumer deserves better, but the- ahem- devout nintendo fans actively fight this sentiment with every breath

Cant say as Ive ever met anybody like that in terms of that specific issue.

I have known people whove applied that mindset to other areas of their life though (food, holidays, etc.)
I don't see these alleged Nintendo-only superfans anywhere outside of /v/, reddit, and discord users' imaginations, if I'm being honest.
You felt your sins weighing on your neck.
No. But as a Sony and Nintendo "main" when not playing mostly indie PC stuff, I have noticed that there seems to be a LOT of unfair hatred towards Nintendo, at least on this site. There has been a massive explosion of it for the Switch 2 in general too. The PS5 basically just got "is this really needed" from its detractors, but the Switch 2 is getting the nuclear treatment.

Who cares, just let people enjoy whatever they want to enjoy.
It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in.

I haven't met anyone who grew up solely on nintendo but will own a switch & pc due to not having any interest in the competitors consoles or access to exclusives in the modern day

Not a fan of how they get put on a pedestal because of that

I used to be one of those people until I got a PS3 in high school. Their perspective is limited and they can be sort of annoying in the same way that an adult that can only watch cartoons can be, but that's it. The Sony version of this is worse, because besides the same level of ignorance, they tend to be some type of bigot.

Like as annoying as the Dexit complainers still are, their vitriol was way more tame than The Last of Us 2 controversy.
I have some friends who aren't really into videogames but will buy a switch and play some party games like Mario kart. Nintendo kind of has that Apple appeal. People like the product and aesthetic more than the hardware or even the games.

I'm one of those people.

People like you are exactly why I've never branched from nintendo.

The assumption is that nintendo is the kiddie system therefore either I'm not cool or there is something wrong with me.

The reality is that I just didn't want to stop playing the games I liked and it was unfair that all of a sudden I enter middle school and I face pressure to magically become a playstation kid.

Not happening.

I took that with me for the rest of my life. I'm playing mario and pokemon and to hell with anyone else's opinions on it.

Well I wouldnt go that far. I do play third party games on occasion and Im happy to criticize Nintendo when they do something stupid. But I do prefer Nintendo.

The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

It's more embarrassing that grown adults keep making topic like this. "Boo hoo, they're liking video games wrong."

That said the part about continuing to talk to you about the direct when you aren't interested is fair in a general "people need to take a hint" way. Like continuing to try to talk to people about criticism about Nintendo games and business practices when they clearly aren't interested in the subject



What a weird thing to give a shit about lol. Just let people play and enjoy what they want.

Id rather be a grown adult who never branched off from Nintendo than a grown adult who gets annoyed at other peoples video game preferences.

idk, i think there's a fair case to be made for shitty companies continuing to be enabled and propped up like they can do no wrong. this isn't exclusive to nintendo and its fans, of course, but is a premier, enduring example of it

like people who dump hundreds on predatory anti-consumer microtransactions, then turn around and say "don't like it, then don't buy it" when they're the reason this shit continues

mind you, i'm not saying everyone who likes nintendo is part of the problem, just the rabid, insufferable ones who scream down any criticism and wear their blindness to everything else as some badge of honor.

obviously i like nintendo games, i just wish they had better online service and weren't so stubborn about joining up with the rest of us in the 21st century. i still like pokemon, i just wish gamefreak and TPC weren't complacent hacks putting out broken, unfinished products because they know they could take a dump, call it pokemon brown version, and it'd sell millions all the same

But that seems like unhealthy reasoning. You are essentially letting others control your life.

Now if someone tries other stuff and just prefers Nintendo, then that's cool. There are undoubtedly a lot of great Nintendo franchises.

how the fuck do you jump straight to "you want to control people" from that
