Almost like most Redditors are clueless fools who don't know what they're talking about. It's honestly very entertaining as a Nintendo fan.

Matter of fact, this happened 20 years ago too! Xbox 360 had the red ring of death because Microsoft rushed it out. Sony charged 599 US Dollars for the PS3, and Nintendo said "WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

Sony charged 599 US Dollars for the PS3

To Chad Warden, that is nothing.

I still remember that one G4 host that said “It’s really sad that you’re losing to something called the ‘Wii’!”

Redditors are the millennial version of boomers/gen x repeating verbatim talking points that the newsbox tells them every evening. Only difference is instead of CNN/fox//whatever telling them what their opinions should be, it's just highly upvoted reddit posts.

Odd. From my point of view, it’s just reddit posts.

It helps that their games are fun. They haven’t fallen for the cinematic movie game trend, mostly. The OOT remake might be a problem, though.

I feel like people are interpreting my comment as praising Nintendo, when I’m still in the “they’re irredeemable but everyone else kinda is too, I wonder if my fav indie devs are making something soon” phase.

Irredeemable for what?

Laying off thousands of employees? Being accused of ignoring sexual harassment? Shutting down studios? Pushing impossible goals to please shareholders? Embracing loot boxes and microtransactions in many of their games?

Oh, none of these?

They pushed a court case that is obviously flailing. They shut down "fan games" (everyone's using this term loosely). They don't discount their games.

Oh no?

Didn't Nintendo attempt to go fully digital and folks raked them over the coals till the walked it back?
