I am a Nintendo fanboy. I love Nintendo. That is why I say please everyone just let fanboys be. The industry was founded by a loyal market of gamers called fanboys"people that love to hate other systems". But for some reason, people now more and more have maybe 2 or 3 systems, and now there are not as many fanboys as their once were. Once we Nintendo fanboys made up 100% of the market from 1985 to 1990, but now are once noble and elite race is dwaning. Now the fanboy is being descriminated against. We are mocked, riddiculed, and shuned by the evil people that belong to their masters, Sony, and Microsoft. So what I say is that we fight back againt these two evil demons. Go out, spread the goodness of belonging exclusively to Nintendo, and please rekindle the worldwide love for Nintendo. I can't do it alone. Please help. Because if you do, I can garunty that someday we will all have put Nintendo back on top.

Your loving future president of NINTENDO OF AMERICA.

I thought I was a "fanboy" but now I see I'm not.

I am the greatest Nintendo fanboy who ever lived. I personally see no problems with fanboys on any systems, as long as they obey several rules.

1) Be fair. Saying a game sucks just because it's not on your system is just stupid.
2) Don't attack the other fanboys. Attack their systems, unless they are so childish that it's impossible to do otherwise.
3) Have an adequate knowledge of the subject at hand. It goes without saying that you are going to know the history of your own console inside out, but at least try to learn about the other consoles as well. It makes arguments much more interesting, and makes you sound intelligent.
4) Use proper english, and keep profanity to a minimum.
5) Try to keep a level of objectivity in your arguments. You can favor your system, but ALWAYS use facts to back up your thesis.

I'm a fanboy because I only buy Nintendo systems. But you know what? I've been satisfied with every system, even the N64. It had a limited lineup, but a good percentage of great games. I don't bash other systems for the most part, just mess around with xbox fans. But I play all systems, and like alot of other games on those systems, but none as much as my NIN games. Did that make any sense?

To date I have met exactly ONE intelligent sounding Xbox fan. The rest of them should still be making big pictures of wangs in the sandbox and giggling like schoolgirls.

Ditto.

I think it's another case of 'the lowest common d.....ahhh, too easy...forget it.

Knock off the crap about dissing people who like xbox. By acting like that you miss out on actually meeting intelligent fans.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2003, 01:37:17 PM »

I said I met one didn't I? It's not my fault that the vast majority of them barely have the brain power to tie their shoes.

Whatever, I don't think you are looking very hard, but its your opinion, right or wrong.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #12 on:** March 30, 2003, 09:26:25 AM »

Well, I don't really go out looking for Xbox fanboys most days. I generally stick to gaming boards though, so I do encounter them now and then. And in my experience, Xbox fanboys are usually fixated on seeing some digital bouncing jugs, or something like that. Only one Xbox fan I have ever met actually seemed interested in playing games for fun, and spoke with any degree of intellect.

I hate fanboys.

To me, they're the lowest life form on the planet. I think maybe you guys have a different definition of fanboys, though. To me, a fanboy is someone is so droolingly loyal and biased to their alignment that they'll lie, distort facts, and BS to "prove" they're the best. They ignore any system that's not made by their company-of-choice and will bash and flame anyone raising a valid critiscism of their beloved console. You guys I'd classify as loyal fans- you love Nintendo above all else but you still have the open mind you need to enjoy non-Nintendo games. I guess we just think differently.

In Wind Waker, there's a tribute to Nintendo fanboys. If you talk to the guy who runs the ________ Gallery (don't want to spoil it for ya), he says something like:

"Our membership has gotten low as of late. People are leaving because the ________ Gallery doesn't have all the bells and whistles as some others do. But we've got a special group of hardcore, devoted gallery members, who will always stick with us. And its those kind of people that we stick around for."

So basically, Nintendo's really glad to have a devoted fanbase. Nice that they put that in the Zelda game.

Yeah, I caught that too. Some of the _______ have descriptions that are pretty good to hear as well.

"Lately his club has been losing membership because he hasn't done anything "cool" with it, but as long as Link hangs around, everything will be all right!"

I almost wept tears of joy when I read that.

What Nintendo needs to realize is that there's a reason they have such devoted fans. Because they always deliver such titles as this latest Zelda, Nintendo fans have good reason to stick with them. They should worry more about maintaining their tradition of quality titles, than about some gamers jumping ship.

Hmm, now for something completely different. For any system, there's a huge assortment of fan types. There are fanboys, hardcore gamers, casual gamers, newbies, and enthusiasts. Some gamers are considered to be immature and pathetic, for they bash other consoles and worry excessively about the welfare of their own. These kinds of gamers give the rest of the userbase a bad name. They are not fanboys. They are saboteurs.

The kinds of fanboys I appreciate, and the ones that Nintendo made a dedication to in Wind Waker, are true gamers. These kinds of gamers play games simply because they are entertaining, and they stick with Nintendo for they know that Nintendo will keep on impressing.

Fox, Nintendo is not in any danger of failing, nor does it need to be number one. The only benefit a Nintendo fan would get from having Nintendo be number one would be bragging rights.

However, even though PS2 is currently the market leader, do you see all the PS2 owners bragging? No. Does it really matter? Only if you're in it for the money.

well by rodtod's definition that would make me a fanboy

what ever you call them, fanboys, saboteurs, idiots etc, they just plain suck.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2003, 11:13:54 AM »

You can be a fan without being ignorant. I tend to like Nintendo fans more because they're more open to the other systems. PS2/Xbox fanboys often annoy, while Nintendo fans are generally good about being nice and fair.

PIAC · « **Reply #20 on:** April 02, 2003, 07:40:26 PM »

thankfully thats mostly true hostile_creation, yet met some real corker nutjob nintendo fans (mostly on opposing console forums..)

rodtod · « **Reply #21 on:** April 03, 2003, 12:19:41 PM »

heheh, nutjob Nintendo fans are very rare here at the PGC forums...I hope

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #22 on:** April 03, 2003, 03:58:56 PM »

Yeah, there are a few idiots, but mostly they're all good.

PIAC · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2003, 09:16:59 PM »

yes! we seem to be a good lot

hence my sticking around here (never really been a forum person before)
