I've been on the Internet for a very long time as evident by my long 17 gamefaqs tenure. I've seen the worst of the worst and I'd have to say Nintendo fanboys are the absolute worst. Not to say Sony fanboys or Sonic fanboys aren't bad.... but Nintendo fanboys beat them by fucking far. And this is coming from me, a huge Nintendo fan myself. And to prove my claim I'll provide 3 huge events or era I've witness myself to come to this conclusion.

1. Gamecube, The Graphics and Resident Evil 4
So what is one of the most current negative thing people keep saying about Nintendo consoles? Shitty graphics and isn't as powerful as XBox or Playstation. Well, during the GC, PS2 and XB days, Nintendo fanboys argued that the GC was factually more powerful than the other two consoles so therefore it was better. Then comes RE4 out for the GC which empowered that argument since it was beautiful for the GC, and Nintendo fans was very happy since it was supposed to be an exclusive. RE4 was Nintendo's highest achievement for GC. Even RE creator Shinji Mikami said he would "cut his head off" if it came out on other consoles. Then some how RE4 came out for the PS2 and the shit storm with Nintendo fanboys went crazy. It was fucking nuts. Nintendrones were fucking mad as hell that their ace of a game that made their GC the best fucking thing ever came out on the PS2. It was like when Apple people got mad as fuck when Android also got Instagram. They raged, they meltdown and they were salty as fuck. Bashing the PS2 port saying "The graphics sucks! It lags! GC controller is better! There's less enemies on the screen at a time! It uses pre-recorded cutscenes!". Oh the salt was fucking real. So they justified their GC being the best by saying it was stronger and had better graphics. Until the Wii, PS3 and XB360 came out. Microsoft and Sony out-class the fuck out of the Wii by graphics and performance, and since that was Nintendrone's main argument why the GC was better than the PS2 and XB, of course this would be the reason why the Wii would suck so much. But by this time the Nintendrones would conveniently shift their reasoning and logic to "graphics doesn't matter". LMAO. Such noted hypocrisy and awful fanboyism stuck with me to this fucking day.

2. The Night of 8.8
I'm sure you all are familiar with this event already but I'd like to shine a little light on this situation a little more. So the next major Zelda title was coming out and it's fucking hyped. I mean Wolf Link? A bigger fucking world compared to OoT? A more mature and darker version of the game? Fuck yeah this shit is what we asked for and it's fucking perfect and EVERYONE WILL LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT. That was until Gamespot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann gave Twlight Princess a score of 8.8. Needless to say there was an explosion of cry babies about the "low score" the game was given, there were so many fucking tears I could open a water park. Nintendrones were raging, they were having meltdowns and they were salty as fuck at the "low score". They demanded the score be changed to a perfect 10, they threatened Jeff. They wanted to destroy the world because of this. But don't take my word for it. Here is a link to some screenshots of gamefaqs melting down.

http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/blast-from-the-past-the-crazy-reactions-to-88-523214/

I've never ever in my 17 years of gaming life have ever seen such meltdowns before over a game review. Nintendrones again proves they are the worst.

The review stands to this day, try not to ready it as it will give you nightmares apparently.

3. N64 logic to the beyond
Nintendo fans started showing their blinded fanboyism during the N64 era. They were horrible... The most readily used mantra Nintendrones used was the "Quality over quantity" argument. They tried to say that because the N64 had Zelda, Mario and Goldeneye (all great games), the N64 was thus a better system than the Playstation, which at that point had about 40-50 stellar titles. To them, 3 games that received review scores of 9.5 were better than 40 "9.3" games. Also, they claimed that NOT having a bunch of great titles meant the games lasted longer and were more interesting. Having a large library lead to people losing focus on the games they owned. Imagine using that 1st world issue as the reason why your console was better. And then there were the "cartridges are better than CDs, because if I drop my cartridge out of my second-story window or drag a rock across it, it'll still work" debates.

These three events will forever stay in my mind and will forever remind me of how awful Nintendones are. These are my opinions. Discuss and opinions? Agree or disagree?

Everyone always overlooks my favorite, Metroid Prime 2 VS Halo 2.

For some bizarre reason, the hardcore Nintendo fans were determined to compare these two games, even though the only thing similar about them was that they starred robot space dudes with guns. And when Halo 2 inevitably got the higher review scores, it was madness. >_>

I remember Jeff Gerstmann saying he actually wanted to rate it lower, but because of the review algorithm at the time, 8.8 was the lowest he could rate it with his honest opinion in all the categories.

Amiibos are too expensive to be microtansactions.
They are too expensive in general as well.

They are two separate different games. One is more about exploration and the other is more focused on coop linear action. Are you serious?

I just read it.

There are fanboys for everything since people tend to be passionate about things they like and gaming is no exception. That being said, don't let things like this bother you as much as they do. This is something that looks to have been festering in your psyche for quite some time now, given that the Gamecube and N64 came out 10+ and 20+ years ago respectively, and no one has really talked these games for quite some time.

I would consider your claim of Nintendo fanboys being the worst more substantial if there were more recent examples.

As an aside, I personally enjoyed The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I was a regular at the Nsider forums back then. And yes, people were hardcore rooting for MP2 to "beat" Halo 2.

Defending shitty business tactics, DLC true endings, selling keys for costumes that we're built into games during the games development, ruining the MvC series, ruining Mega Man, etc. List goes on. Way worse than Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft fanboys.

xD what exactly is ignorant about that statement? There is proof everywhere of what I am saying.
I was just making sure you didn't falsely think the PS2 was more powerful then the Gamecube, because that is objectively wrong...

I didn't say that at all or even imply that so stop being so damn ignorant. The point of my post is that Nintendo fanboys used that fact as a way of acting superior with the GC but then once the next gen came out, and the Wii was then weaker than the PS3/XBOX, they switched their argument to "graphics doesn't matter".

They'll also defend Nintendo's outdated practices to hell.

A gen behind powerwise on consoles? I play for GAMEPLAY!!!! (then a decent looking game comes out, omg those VISUALS)

Voice acting? Well Excuuuuuuse me princess.

Shitty online play? I play with friends on the couch!

Game drought? Miyamoto says a delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever! (Gets one good game while other consoles get gotta affter goty)

Not at all. A turbo nerd would oppress people with their opinions. They would not be as open minded as me. A turbo nerd would already call you a troll for disagreeing with them. I'm happy to agree to disagree.

Turbo nerds are analytical not because they want to be educated. They only do it to be a contrarian to show superiority. If a nerd could prove anyone wrong they would do it in a fucking heartbeat just to look correct or smart. Kinda like technically correcting anything and everything such as grammer or spelling.

I have no opinion on the three events you 'ranted' about because I paid no attention to news about gamers and their reactions back in the day, only learned about it many years afterwards and found them hilarious. Come to think of it, all gamer reactions are hilarious. Not a bad thing, really; I laughed my ass off at the public outrage over Mass Effect 3's ending, though that very same outrage was what intrigued me enough to try the series for the first time and that led me to dozens of hours of quality entertainment.

Some of those opinions relate to me though. I was always in the 'graphics don't matter' camp, way before the Wii was released. The only time I raved about graphics was when I was pushing my parents to buy me a N64 for MK64 and '3-D!!!' Never cared about them before(beyond 'those Sonic games look pretty and cool'), and never cared about them since; I'm of the camp that prefers cartoony graphics to realistic ones and still says Dragon Age: Origins graphics are more than good enough, and that's like, what, 8 or 9 years old now? The disc vs. cartridges thing relates only due to the fact that I saw horrendous load times on my friends' Sega CD and PS1's plus certain rumors leading me to think that discs = bad loading times which was a turn-off. Not really Nintendrone-stuff when I think about it since it made me highly leery when buying my GameCube and I was massively relieved when it turned out the load times weren't that bad anymore.

I think all fanboys of any one console (or PC) are all pretty terrible. Here is an article I found about Sony fanboys, it looks like it hits almost all the points you attempted to make about nintendo fanboys.

http://www.themindofgame.com/2010/03/13/why-sony-fanboys-are-the-worst-of-the-bunch/

I don't think any one fanboy type is the worst. They ALL display the characteristics you have mentioned, none appear to do it more than any others.
