Yes because having differnces over something as trvial as games is a good idea.

How about joining more student groups or rush a frat. Your always going to have people that don't like Nintendo of video games in general.

Well if two people have strong opposing opinions in regard to video games, they will most likely have differences. The level of maturity in which you explore these differences will dictate to what degree you can overcome them.

While my post is mostly in jest, they don't sound like good friends if they tell him Wii U is not a game console to end the conversation. I would imagine this to be a pattern transcending games, but if Kyuubikid sees the value of interacting with them, more power to him.

So true. Not just about Pokemon, but lots of stuff like that.

@kyuubikid213 How about trying not to be so ridiculous it's a videogame console I don't think that's something to hate your friends over (or even argue about). If they're just a*******s in general, then you need to get some new friends.

This. I like to think playing video games is just one part of a friendship. But if they do this for other things, wouldn't want to deal with the hassle and find new friends.

I have the same problem except for with mobile gamers that play 'Clash of Clans'. Oh dear me, there is no reasoning with a moron who doesn't even know what a micro-transaction is despite exclusively playing games that are littered in the things.

Oh god, I haven't run into 'em yet but there isn't much worse than those who don't 'game' and don't get video games but do sit around and play Facebook games for hours on end. Funny world we live in where spending 4+ hours playing Farmville is seen as perfectly normal but spending an equal amount on 'real' games on 'real' console is a social taboo.

I have dealt with people that don't get gaming as a hobby and don't see value in the old games or hardware. Case in point, I have a relative who insisted I get rid of all my old games and consoles because their 'old' and "nobody buys them anymore". I didn't of course, and it was all spurred on by me moving and having stuff to, well, move. Imagine that.

I don't get why anyone would care so much, but my only solution, especially if these are to be friends, is to play games together. I mean shoot, how simple could it be...

Even The Big Bang Theory doesn't acknowledge the Wii U. In one of the latest episodes, Sheldon had to choose between the PS4 and the Xbone. The Wii U was left out as per usual. When polling the group on which console to get, Bernadette (the goofy girl with the baby voice) voted for the Wii (NOT the Wii U - it isn't even recognized). Ticked me off. Sorry if you don't know the show

lol I know about that show, wish I didn't though. If you watch an episode carefully you see all sorts of product placements everywhere, if the Wii U wasn't mentioned I'm pretty confident it's because Nintendo didn't pay to have it mentioned like Sony and Microsoft no doubt paid to have their platforms plugged in a show I can only describe as "Friends for geeks". So I wouldn't worry too much about it, that Nintendo's products aren't seen in such trite mass market shows should be viewed as a good thing.

To be honest I'm not sure which modern overrated show annoys me more, Big Bang Theory or Game of Thrones, eh who cares I have several episodes of Vikings and From Dusk Till Dawn to watch. And yes I realize my above opinion is pretty biased, especially considering I thought how they had Jessica and especially Bill rocking the Wii in a few True Blood episodes was pretty cool (a vampire playing virtual golf on a virtual sunny day, that was genius).

Just do what everyone else does: never acknowledge the existence of the Wii U.

@DiscoStew The kids at my high school love Pokémon! Apart from that, very true.

It's here until Lz locks it, I believe.

Anyhow, people have their own "morons" to deal with and experiences to share.

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite

Have you ever heard of a Playstation Girl's Club, or an Xbox Girl's Club, me neither.
I've lost count of how many times I've managed to strike up a conversation with a girl I liked by talking about their favorite 3ds games. The majority of women I've met who enjoy video games don't really care for the sort of ultra violent egocentric bro games common on Sony and Microsoft consoles, they enjoy the sort of lighthearted casual games that Nintendo offers, if you not only know about these games but enjoy them as well a lot of gamer chicks will find that to be a huge turn on because it shows that you've matured beyond all the gratuitous violence and ego stroking of the atypical 3rd party bro game.

tho i no longer count as a gaming girl, as a gaming woman i love the PS 3 as much as i do our nintendo stuff. there are some really good, non-violent games from sony. i get tired of the same old/same old arguement about FPSes and violence leveled at them.

not all females enjoy just what you refer to as 'lighthearted casual games' either. that does not equate with playing uber violent games. RPGs are big with myself and other women games i know.

we have had every ninty unit except the virtual boy and wii u. i have loved them all. my 3ds xl gives me sanity sometimes. but that doesn't mean i don't love me some ps 3 games as well. Ni No Kuni, Fez, Journey, some of the FF titles, Little Big Planet, Puppeteer...a lot of great games are available for the ps3.

Yea, I saw that one. I'm pretty sure that whole skit was just a jab at the current console war, which is probably why they had Bernadette vote for the "Wii". It came of as "this is how the world sees it", thats how I see it anyway.

@mipaol
Where are you seeing product placements? I mean beyond just comics and other typical geeky things, they don't parody the products but thats not a bad thing, its not like those aren't painfully obvious anyway. Also, being a sort of comedy-sitcom you might be the one taking it seriously.

Next time they say Nintendo is not a real console, I would just say - that's not what your mom said last night! (or sister)

Joking aside, best way to do it is fact check'em.

For example, ask what the X1 or PS4 can do that the wii u cannot. When they say you can watch blu-ray movies, upload videos, watch youtube, connect to facebook, etc., you conclude that none of that has anything to do with gaming.

Nintendo does what Sony don't

I ignore them, and hang out with people that share similar interests as me.

I love video games in general. Nintendo is just my favorite, and I get more enjoyment out of Nintendo consoles than any other console. The only console that I've ever had as much fun as I do with a Nintendo one was PlayStation 2.

Luckily, I know a few people that feel the same way.

On the bright side, in the grand scheme of things, your elementary and high school years are basically forgotten once you move onto college. You'll also meet much neater people there. Please look forward to it!

So I was talking to someone about being excited for Mario Kart 8 and he goes:

"You play a kiddie themed game! Everything visually and audible about it screams "for children" If you're over the age of 18 and you don't agree... then seek help"

Obviously, there's so much wrong with this statement that I don't even know where to begin. But I don't know what to say to this guy.
Any suggestions?
