I've done a lot of ranting in my day, and here comes another one. Now when I list these things, you'll be bound to think "What is he thinking?!?!", but just hear me out. Here's how I fail as a Nintendo fan, comparing my 'fandom' to Nintendo against the majority: * I don't like the Mario platformer series, aside from 2 games. * I still support Rare, even after they left for Microsoft. Yeah, things were shaky for a while, but I'm confident they're getting back to their former glory. * I don't register my products online... well, mostly because I'm too poor to afford even DS games every month. I also don't buy games for the sake of registering them to get goodies and the like, especially if it's one I detest. * I consider 'Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' to be the worst game in the Metroid series. With 'Metroid Prime' a close second. * I like Mario more than Luigi. I also think the Koopa Kids are overrated and Bowser Jr. is better. * I believe Super Smash Bros. is the best game of all time. Over Super Smash Bros. Melee, over Ocarina of Time, and over Super Mario Brothers. * I think the Gamecube is the worst home console system Nintendo has made. (excluding VirtualBoy) That about covers it. I know I'll never be an uber gamer who's played everything and anything, or owns every single system or has hundreds of WFC achivements or matches. But that's okay. I'm pleased with where I am as a Nintendo fan, and although I rag on the company alot these days, they're still the #1 company. However, what I am "proud" of most is my lack of rampant fanboyism that we see too often these days. I am sick and tired of hearing people worship Link, praise Iwata, and idolize Miyamoto. I am sick of the blind faith we see so often in today's virtual communities. Every company of the big three has flaws, Nintendo has the least. Yes, Nintendo has flaws. Let's face it, they are a company that want your money in the end. I could list their flaws, but I am not going to. So, fellow members, I ask you, how do you 'fail' as a Nintendo fan and are you happy because of it? |

To be, or not to be: that is the question. To die, to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end. To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause. That makes calamity of so long life, for who would bear the whips and scorns of time when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all... | |

I hated MP2:E as well. Too dark. I cant stand SSBM... as Im horrible at it... and I dont really like the Zelda games much either... but they arent my least favorite series. I register products only when they have the registration code on them... I dont buy games solely for the purpose of registering them... I only get the games that I want, and know I will play for a while. |

Well i recently bought some new nintendo systems, games and attributes and i never registered any of them. My favorite game ever is not even a nintendo console game. (Final Fantasy 7) I dont really enjoy zelda anymore, although i really wasnt that big of a fan before. I would also consider buying a ps3 before the wii IF and only if they accually remade final fantasy 7 for it. Im not that great of a nintendo fan either. |

i dont fail as a nintendo fan. this topic is almost....i dont know. i mean, the only way a person can fail as a nintendo fan is by not liking it altogether. even if i dont like a certain game or series (such as zelda, im just not into it), doesnt mean im any less of a fan as the next person. im with u dude2000, im not an "uber" gamer whos played tons of WFC matches, i dont worship link, praise iwata and idolize miyamoto. as far as gamecube being the worst home console, i would definitely disagree, but it is near the bottom (n64 is probably the number 1 best for nintendo). ur right, i am thinking "what the heck is he thinking?!" but just b/c i dont really understand ur logic of "failing as a nintendo fan" |

You mean theres actually more than 3 people who like the koopakids? (yeah I hate them too) I don't think SSB is the best game (but I did like most of the stages better and DK being a stuffed animal was cool :lol: )But OOT is not the best game by far. (ok I didn't play much but it isn't) Neither is SMB but it's closer, SMW is....in the tieing for best game fighting with kirby air-ride and ok the list is too long. Ok heres some original reasons I fail. I refuse to buy ports of games I have, and won't buy both versions of one game seperatly. (if they come packeged together for the price of one yeah) Peach has made some games unbarable with that voice that sounds like finger nails in a rough sink. (a chalkboard is bearable) I won't buy an upgrade of a system I have. The Ds lite is aproximatly 30 steps back while 2 forward. I belive they wanted to fix whats not broken. I try to convince people to boycott system upgrades. I don't think Metroid prime is the best GCN game graphics wise. Tingle is cool. I like to make fun of reggie looking like chunky. I don't like their platnum colored systems. Animal crossing is awfull IMO. Also SNES is the best system followed by GCN, then NES then N64 IMO |

What I mean tby "fail" is that according to your typical stereotype of a Nintendo fan, I fall way short. |

One of the biggest stereotypes is they hate tingle and have to say he's gay and stuff. And as I said Tingle is cool. |

Why do you say the gamecube is not that great of a system? |

I do agree with the GC as the worst Nintendo console.. N64 was way more fun for me.. I rather play that really. |

Not that many good games, mainly. There are other reasons, but I won't get into them. |
