Forums - Gaming Discussion - For Nintendo fans: If you feel the industry needs fewer shooters, why do you still hate anything that isn't a shooter because it's non-Nintendo?

Tagged games:

So the big argument being produced by the core Nintendo users against the next gen consoles (PS4 & XBone) is that they, like the PS360, are too shooter oriented and this gen is going to be terrible because of it. So, I ask this, why say this, but proceed to bash anything that isn't a shooter? Is it because they're not on a Nintendo console and are thus irrelvant? A prime example would be Knack. The game was a decent platformer and a good sidestep from all the military shooters, but still got shread to pieces. It seems that people ignore the fact that the PS brand has a more diverse library than any other brand out there, nevermind the fact that PS platforms are the number 1 source for JRPGs.

Generalization. I'm a Nintendo-only gamer and a hardcore fanboy, but I still enjoy some shooters like playing multiplayer CoD with my buddies online, and I sure as hell played GoldenEye 007 BOTH times it came out on a Nintendo system. Also, I can recognize that there are good/great/fantastic games in other genres on both PS3/PS4 AND 360/Xbone. So your complaint is a generalization (based on some truth, as there are people like the picture you've painted, no doubt) just like I could generalize that all Sony and Microsoft gamers think Nintendo's games are "just for kids."



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

I can't speak for everybody else but I mainly play games on Nintendo systems and I believe there are many great games on other systems.

I was actually looking at the PS4 / XBO games list for 2014 threads on this site and thought many of them looked pretty cool. So much so in fact that I began to rethink my recent Wii U purchase. (Got it last week)

As for Knack? It does look dumb in all honestly but looks can be deceiving and I haven't actually played it. Therefor, I can't judge it.



Well knack is pretty subpar, nothing amazing about that game. Have you even played it, its pretty tacky. But I loved LBP that was a great game.



I keep on hearing this word "diversity." Remember, it is not a synonym for "quality."

As for Knack, I didn't like what I played of it.



Love and tolerate.

I disagree that Knack was a decent platformer, it was woeful. Yes, I have tried it, and it was even the game I was most interested in after watching the PS4 reveal.



Yeah, Knack is a prime example alright...



knack was underwhelming from the moment I saw gameplay. Besides, I think you are generalizing or just imagining things - I never see Nintendo fans calling Ratchet and Clank, LBP, Jak n daxter, or sly shit



I haven't played Knack, but it sure looks boring and monotonous. I loved (and still love) the PS1 Crash and Spyro games, so it definitely doesn't need to be Nintendo to be good for me.

But for FPS games, I usually don'



Yep.

Why do u act like all or even a majority of Nintendo fans feel this way? ur talking about a select group of vocal fanboys, not the entire Nintendo fanbase. And that last sentance explains it, they are fanboys, people who will critisize anything thats not there console of choice.

I could easily come up with some dumb shit that Playstation or Xbox fanboys say then generalize and say all the fans have the same opinion.
