I think for most people it would be incredibly difficult to be a fan of every game on the left, because they don’t have enough free time to have played every game on the left.
Not to mention most of those games haven't had a new game in ages. Nintendogs? Pokemon Puzzle League? Mother? I doubt any kids that play Nintendo consoles today even know what most of those even are
Also, Donkey Kong not on the right despite the new game being pretty good from what I've heard? Also, how could anyone be a fan of Duskbloods when it's not out yet? I mean, yes, it's a FromSoft game, but for all we know it could be a DS2 situation where it ends up being a niche game overall in their library and garner mixed opinions.
To play most of those games you need to be about 30-40 years old and still have all the hardware or lives through the era playing nothing but Nintendo games.
ROB the fucking Robot got in the pic on the left. The flopped robot toy that helped Nintendo trick America into getting over the Video Game Crash...ya gotta be a fan of him, too, I guess.
Imagine being someone like this, managing to beat the odds and find someone interested in you, finding out you have shared interests - and still finding a way to be a dick about it.
The gatekeeping is especially absurd because anyone that knows Nintendo knows that for decades they have outright stated that they intentionally market to casual gamers and families.
So that subreddit is being elitist towards casual Nintendo fans when Nintendo's business model is marketing to casual gamers. A decent amount of the series on the left side haven't even had new games in years.
So I guess the only real Nintendo fan is the guy who was reassigned to the Nintendo building's basement archive in 1985 for misspelling "Yamauchi" in a presentation and has not been allowed to leave since.
don't they just mean "i hope this person is a fan of the much more niche series instead of the more popular/recent ones" and not "this person doesn't like chibi robo, fake fan" ? i can't interpret it in any other way
I don't know if this one's gatekeeping. It's not necessarily invalidating the person on the right. To me, it could be talking about that experience of "are you obsessed with this thing to the sane extent I am, and therefore able to hold a deep conversation about it? No? Ah well, it's still fun to talk about a special interest."

Pfft. How can you call yourself a Nintendo fan if you don't own an original 1889 set of their Hanafuda cards? Posers
Yeah sorry I haven’t played the “Good Job!” Series b
I dont leave the house without my virtual boy

Duskbloods isn't even out yet and its there. They rly just copy pasted every nintendo game logo in existence
ROB the fucking Robot got in the pic on the left. The flopped robot toy that helped Nintendo trick America into getting over the Video Game Crash...ya gotta be a fan of him, too, I guess.
One of the titles on there is cubivore
A gamecube exclusive
With no sequels
And extremely middling reviews
That is more than twenty years old
And is rare and very expensive to purchase a physical copy of
I would like to be a Star Fox fan. Maybe they can make one that doesn't suck. Because they haven't done that since Star Fox 64
That’s why they just don’t make them at all anymore. Hard to make a shitty game if you don’t make one at all.
One of my favorite games as a kid and I wish they would make a modern version of it.
I think it would work perfectly as a mobile game, I have some great memories of renting it from Blockbuster for my N64 back in the day lmao
Imagine calling someone a fake Nintendo fan cause they haven't play Mole Mania (idek wtf that is)
Oh thought this was r/gaming or something. APPROVED
Yeah, this sub often catches me out for a curve ball

Hmm. Banjo-Kazooie not on the left list. Some "fan".
/s
That was Rare, iirc. Not that every game on that list are Ninetndo IP
I consider myself a Nintendo fan and I haven’t even played all the shit on the right side of the chart.
Girl, I have a job. I play like three games now.
The Duskbloods doesn’t even have an official release date yet lmao
A solid third never got to the English audiences. And all the ones I like never got any kind of remake or sequels.
You're not into Game & Watch? I guess you're not a real fan then.
Pikmin wins no diff.
Have to give2 a spot in my ever revolving top 5
Pikmin 2
Custom robo
Goblin commander
Melee
Double dash

That is still a lot of franchises though.
Real Nintendoheads love RingFit Adventure. 10/10 IGN

I like how Mario, Mario Kart and Mario Party are considered low brow normie trash, but Mario Tennis is clearly high art
“Struggle”
Nintendo fucking sucks
I mean, I don’t see “you’re not really a Nintendo fan if…” anywhere
Agreed
