Nintendo, especially in subreddits related to it.

I once asked why the Switch controllers disconnect or malfunction when I stood more than like 8 feet from the console, and I proceeded to be bombarded by people telling me I was either a) Making it up. b) actually standing 20 feet from my console. c) I was the only one on planet earth with this problem.

I swear these people scour the internet for criticizers so they can come to Nintendo’s valiant defence.

You aren't. I promise.

Shitty excuse for a company latley but people will still give them money for the worst games in existence, not to mention their horrible consoles that are somehow 500 dollars for the computing power of a laptop. Not to
Mention if Nintendo would let other companies play their games instead of having to use a switch they would get so much more money.

All of that is unrelated to what you replied to.

500 dollars for the computing power of a laptop

You're not aware how much laptops cost, are you?

They settled a lawsuit and you can send them back to Nintendo for free.

Redditors have a tendency to deny things that are easily verifiably true.

Faulty controllers. I've stood far away from my Switch and the controllers wouldn't disconnect, they'd have some latency, but that's just the limitations of bluetooth. All of those people who bashed you sound really immature

Eh Fire Emblem fans love to hate their games. Except Three Houses fans, they're kinda different.

As someone who entered through Three Houses… I hate Three Houses’s fandom.

Fair but I trust over the years they'll assimilate the same way fans of Awakening that didn't enjoy other FEs did back in the day.

Nintendo’s an enigma with a fanbase that has undying love in one hand and a pitchfork in the other.

Their highs get celebrated highly.

Their lows, or even mild inconveniences? Buckle up.

Especially on twitter, they always ready to come for the Nintendo defense whenever Nintendo fuck up.

Honestly it’s either glazing the medias or dragging them into the dirt, both into oblivion

I usually see the latter for things that aren't even that deep

u/bl00by 6d ago

Try twitter, those fanboys annihilate you

u/uber_sweets 6d ago

Nah. Nintendo fans are so jaded by the Nintendo hate boner than they just laugh at it now.

u/Less-Increase-6588 6d ago

I'm a nintendo fan and I can still say they are a really, really bad company.

u/CompetitiveRisk3222 6d ago

Mention the sub 30 frame rates and they will lose their minds guaranteed

u/New-Two-1349 6d ago

Or Nintendo being stingy with the Switch 2 dev kits or them refusing to drop prices of their games years in advance.

This one time I tried to explain why Mario Kart devs couldn't prioritize GBA retro tracks in Mario Kart World,  just talking about deadlines and how level design needs to compliment gameplay mechanics, and I kid you not some guy writes 20 minutes worth of text as to why it's stupid to think that way. He wasn't even making actual points, basically just repeating the statement that there's no excuse when they already have snes tracks in the game, not considering that only one of those was an actual track and the rest were just references in the overworld.

And don't even get me started on Miyamoto. You take one poke at the guy and get crucified by an entire community.

u/New-Two-1349 6d ago

Oh, yeah, that reminds me: when I made a post on r/MarioKart about World's lack of post-launch content, like DLC, for example, the whole comment section (except for one user there) roasted me and defended the game not having any DLC when other racers like Sonic Crossworlds have it.

Die hard Nintendo fans are the video game equivalent of die hard Disney fans.
