SO EXCITED!!! I honestly did my expect this game to come to the 3DS, but apparently dreams do come true.
While no online sharing is a bummer, at the very least I can play almost all the Wii U created courses. That's over 6 million courses to choose from! And honestly, I've only been playing the 100 Mario Challenge anyways, so this is perfect for me. I do hope they try and find a way to at least allow us to post our courses online once they see the demand for it. It could be a hardware issue, which would explain a lack of certain features like ID searches and sharing online.
Regardless, it will be wonderful to experience Super Mario Maker where ever I go now! <3
@Luffymcduck A true Nintendo fan certainly isn't someone who constantly criticizes Nintendo for some pretty asinine reasons. They aren't constantly being Negative Nancy's and are taking to forums and comment sections to express their "opinions." They're more than allowed to disagree with certain decisions and even not buy certain content that doesn't appeal to them. After all, they aren't blind followers nor are they blind haters either. No, true Nintendo fans actually see the value of a game for what it's worth and not what it's lacking. They look for the good in things and aren't put off by new ways to play and new experiences. They push for constrictive critisism and don't just hate cause they didn't get what they wanted. They prefer gameplay over graphics. They realize Nintendo isn't behind the times, but rather they push the boundaries of what is possible in a video game, but through graphics but through the experience.
True Nintnedo Fans play video games to have fun and concern themselves more with what they're playing and less about Nintendo's sales figures. They focus on what matters and are generally positive individuals. They give out critisism in a mature manner that is constructive. They do not have temper tantrums in comments sections or make snide remarks every time Nintendo doesn't succeed at something.
No, True Nintendo Fans don't blindly accept everything Nintendo does but they don't need to act like petulant children to get their point across or to be so arrogant as to think they can do a better job than Nintendo.
@LUIGITORNADO On the contrary. When almost everyone here who says they hate it hasn't even touched the game, that seriously calls into question the validity in their "opinions" or the remarks towards the game. What's truly pathetic isn't those who are defending it, cause let's be honest with ourselves, those who are defending it, at least for the most part, have actually played it. That or they realized it's ok to have a spin off title and not act like a giant baby when they don't get what they want. No, what's truly pathetic is the amount of hates towards a product most have not experienced. This hate is only fuelled by emotions, not by reason or logic, but by pure, raw, negative emotion for something that goes against what they wanted. What I see is blind hatred with very little credibility towards the haters and those who celebrated the games abysmal sales.
What is truly pitiful isn't those who defend it, but the unwarranted, unnecessary hate towards a Metroid spin off that actually is quite decent. What's pitiful is those, like yourself, who laugh at others for defending a game against an angry mob who hasn't even given the game a chance, let alone touched it. One cannot truly judge something until they themselves have experienced it. And let's be realistic, since so many of you like to be realists. A majority of people here, especially those who attacked the game, did not play Federation Force. Once you've played it, and have shed any form of bias, then and only then can you truly judge a game. Not based of reviews from various opinions or simply trailers and videos, but from your own experience.
Go ahead and say it doesn't interest you or that you simply don't enjoy these type of games, that's perfectly fine, but DO NOT hate a game simply based on what you've seen or heard. Enough with Nintendo fans being so critical towards games that take a different path or create a new experience. Enough of this incredibly toxic and negative stance towards change and petty complaints that follow suit. Nintendo isn't the one that needs to change, it's the fans and the attitude they have. It's beyond toxic, it's destructive and it's causing good games to go unnoticed and to be shunned before they're even released. This needs to stop before precious franchises actually become dormant and are left untouched for decades.
@TwilightOniAngel Hahaha, oh, I see. XD And I feel the same way. It's one thing to say "This reviewer said this about this game," and it's another thing to say "this game sucks. This reviewer said it sucks therefore I also believe it sucks. So sayth the review and his almighty wisdom. His word is fact and not at all an opinion."
@TwilightOniAngel I had to look up who @Syrek24 was cause I had no idea who you were referencing, but holy crap, I can see why you would think He was me. That's uncanny LOL! XD I honestly don't like conflict or arguing, but certain people just grind my gears. I'm fine if you want to dislike Nintendo and it's games, but my motto has always been "Don't judge a game until you've played it." I can give an opinion, but that opinion is not fact nor should it be. Just like how reviewers give their opinion and it should merely be a guide to help you decide.
Le sigh. I don't know why I bother honestly. :/ I'm just way too heated over all this. Time to cool down and come back collected.
Good golly, the denial and delusion is real. See I have been paying attention to the comments, and even previous comments you made before the game even came out. You despised it without even giving it a chance. And then to validate your hate for a game you've yet to actually play, unlike myself, you pull the Metacritic card to make it seem like your not a total Nintendo hating fool who acts like he's got his crap together, but really doesn't. You judge a game before even playing it. I don't do that crap. Even reviews don't mean much unless YOU'VE experienced it. I'm not saying you have to buy it, but before you hate a game, how about actually playing it yourself instead of blindly hating it cause it wasn't what you or others wanted.
See unlike you, and many other gamers, I don't have the right to judge a game until I've actually played it. I can't say with absolute certainty that it's a fun game or not until I've sat down with said game and play it for a lengthy time. Cause I've played games where the reviews for it were mediocre and what not, and guess what, I decided to take a chance and play that game. And surprise surprise, the game was actually quite fun and enjoyable, albeit it had several flaws, but there was no reason to hate it or look down upon it.
You act like an educated individual, therefore, its not difficult to see how hating a game and saying its crap before you even play it and withholding judgement until you've played that game can seem like one person has an opinion not based on actual concentrate experience and the other does. Which one do you think people will listen to more? And I hate to burst your hate filled bubble, but the game is still considered an average game, even by your holy light known as Metacritic. Therefore, it's not a bad game or a good game based off of a collection of multiple experiences.
So please, the next time you act like your "opinion" is fact, how about actually playing the freaking game instead of debating with others about why your always right and they're always wrong, you arrogant, anti-Nintendo little punk.
@Yorumi How about actually playing the game, judging it based on what YOU experience, instead of hating it before it even comes out and then using Metacritic scores to validate your unwarranted "opinion" when the game releases.
@Luffymcduck "Well made arguments?" Pffftt.............HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD Oh......oh my. Yes, because anyone basing a games worth off of Metacritic clearly has some solid arguments to give. Ohhhh wow. Never have I seen such a bullcrap statement in all my life. Next you'll tell me that @Yorumi is a true Nintendo fan due to his incredibly negative view points and complete and utter anti-Nintendo bias.
Naga's breath, it doesn't take a genius to realize how far gone and up his own arse he is. Any comment that conflicts with his is automatically wrong. The guy is beyond bias in his hate, disdain and utter arrogance towards Nintendo. I wouldn't listen to someone like him no matter what drivel he spouted.
Not entirely surprising given that Japan just doesn't care for Metroid unlike those in the West. Not to mention, the amount of unwarranted hate the game got just because it's a spin off didn't help either. Needless to say, it's a good game that recieved good reviews, but unfortunately, the so called "hardcore fans" crucified the game before they even gave it a chance resulting in poor sales worldwide. If Nintendo fans approached it with an unbiased opinion and looked past the Metroid Prime name, they would have discovered a fairly fun game in then style of Metroid. Is it what anyone wanted? No, but that shouldn't stop Nintendo from experimenting.
Anyways, the amount of hate this game has gotten astounds me to no end. Hopefully Colour Splash does not receive the same fate.
I wonder why they choose to have Reggie announce a Galaxy themed New 3DS XL. I mean, in the past, bundles and 3DS's with new colours or designs were announced normally. Something about this just seems........off. I do truly wondering if they'll surprise us with a Super Mario Galaxy game or port for the 3DS. Hmmmm, we shall see.
As someone who LOVES their 3DS, I am quite excited for this Nintendo Direct. It's become my favourite system of all time thanks to the incredible support its been given thus far. Easily one of the most impressive game librarys for a system since the SNES.
I don't believe this rumour for a second. Nintendo doesn't steal ideas from the competition, it's the other way around. I have no doubt that Miiverse will continue to be a thing for the NX, albeit beefed up with some added features and faster load times. But a share button, especially one that interupts the D-Pad. Yeah, I don't think so. This rumour has as much credibility as their crudely drawn image.
@Daldra No. No it does not. If you're too cheap to pay for a 3DS at this rate, then that's just sad. It's an incredibly cheap system with a plethora of amazing games. The price they have for it currently is more than acceptable.
@Samurai_Goroh Fair enough. If that's how you feel, I respect your opinion and hope you enjoy other offerings from the other consoles. I suspect Nintendo will continue to move to its own beat rather than conform to another console that is essentially just a PC, albeit an underpowered PC mind you. They'll continue to create controllers that don't mesh well with some gamers and create a system tailored to a unique experience. It's not for everyone and that's ok.
@Samurai_Goroh A lack of power has very little to do with a lack of 3rd party support. The install base is what 3rd party developers care about. If it's large enough, more companies will release something on that system. Case in point, the Wii, DS, and the 3DS are underpowered systems yet they have a strong amount of third party support due to their install base.
So no, more power won't mean much if the install base isn't there. As long as Nintendo can provide a plethora of high quality games and a system that has mass appeal, third party companies will flock to that system, despite how much power it yields.
@Anti-Matter Yeah, I don't play M rated games, at least not anymore. I do my best to stay within the realm of E to T rated games, and the main consoles I use are my 3DS and Wii U simply because Nintendo is still actively pushing for good, wholesome values and family friendly games. The PS4 and Xbox One may have a couple games that target families, but not nearly enough. Those consoles are saturated by gory games with profanity spouted in every cutscene and sexual themes pushed down your throat. It's quite sickening to say the least.
That's why I mainly stick to Nintendo to provide my gaming experience because I can trust them to retain good moral values and a strong push for family friendly games. I understand it's the unpopular thinking in today's society to want more family friendly content and less violence, sex, dark themes and bad language, but I'd rather been unpopular with my opinion than play games that can alter ones moral compass.
I'm generally a fan of motion controls, if done right. Thus, I would be completely fine if this rumour came true. I'm looking forward to seeing what the NX is capable of.
@WiltonRoots "Gamers," and especially "Nintendo fans" HATE the word "uniqueness" sadly. To them its more of a hinderence than something something that enhances their gameplay experience. Sadly, that narrow minded thinking is what will kill the industry. Unique ways to play, or "gimmicks" as many affectionately like to call it, are what will grow the gaming industry and propel it forward.
@TheNomad That literally does not affect sales as seen by Fire Emblem Fates. If the gameplay is solid and the appeal for said game exists, then it won't matter if it's censored or not. I seriously doubt Nintendo will ever change how they localize games as I've yet to see a game that has been affected in sales due to localization or censorship, at least when it comes to Nintendo. As long as the game is appealing, looks fun and is marketed properly, consumers will buy it regardless of the content that has been altered. Most people, like myself, only care about such things if it drastically changes the game for the worse. And last I checked, no game that has been "censored" or localized has even come close to that criteria.
@GrailUK I hope so as well. As much as everyone gives the Wii U Gamepad flack for existing, I for one loved it, especially with games like Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X. That and being able to play your games on the controller is something that I'm so use to by now that I hope Nintendo carries that idea over to the NX.
Whatever the NX will be, it'll have my support 100%.
@Dislikesfats If by "out of touch" you mean they couldn't give a crap about shoddy western "AAA" games that are overhyped to the heavens and beyond, then yes, I suppose they are. Honestly, I'd rather they be "out of touch" then give into the demands of the whiny third parties who now control the industry sadly, no thanks to Sony and Microsoft. Quality over quantity, that's how I see it, and a lot of western developers lack that quality that Nintendo brings so elegantly to the table.
"Games are meant to be played, and in my opinion played well"
This guy sounds a little too hardcore for his own good. Like, why would you waste your time trying to prove this to Niantic? Most people would never attempt to do this. All this guy proved is that he's got too much free time on his hands, and he comes across as yet another arrogant gamer with the attitude that ya gotta play games well or not at all. Opinion or no opinion, it still sounds fairly arrogant.
@FierceRagnar And yet that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's more alive than ever thanks to Awakening and Fates, and it's become one of Nintendo's major IP's. It would have become a dead franchise if it had kept the course and only appealed to its hardcore fanbase. Thankfully they didn't and Fire Emblem's popularity and sales have never been higher.
So quit being so melodramatic. Either accept the new changes or move on. It's that simple. But enough with this "Fire Emblem is dead" rhetoric. It's simply not true.
@CrazedCavalier People did throw a fit in regards to Fates over some truly asinine things as well. It was embarrassing to witness both as a gamer and as a Fire Emblem fan.
Nintendo fans also threw a fit as Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox Zero, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, and Metroid FF, and despite all the incesist whining, all of those games turned out to be some truly wonderful games. I agree with @JaxonH. Almost every game Nintendo releases these days either has people screaming bloody murder or has some "controversy," and I use that word very loosely cause most of those "controversies" we're hardly worth mentioning or discussing. The final product of every single game I've mentioned turned out to be better than expected or the quality of the game outshined whatever blemishes or issues people had with it initially.
I honestly wish gamers these days would focus less on complaining and more on playing, cause that's all I see these days, and more than half the reasons for people's ire or hate are unwarranted, especially when it comes to Nintendo.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was a sublime JRPG and I'm glad they didn't turn it into a Pokemon x Fire Emblem game. It's easily a Game of the Year contender for me alongside Fates and Bravely Second thus far.
It's a wonderful feeling to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. It's too bad many gamers didn't give it a chance or thought localization choices was a valid excuse to give for missing out on this excellent game.
@Utena-mobile I honestly couldn't agree more with what you just said. It was a simpler time back then, but at least we weren't at each other's throats all the time over so many petty things and judging games properly, not being so consumed with the amount of pixels on screen but rather the content within the game itself. Such things more than likely occurred even before the time of the GameCube, but not to this extent, and certainly not this much hatred over a piece of entertainment.
@Utena-mobile It truly was the Wild West back then. And yeah we didn't know any better because news sites weren't informing us about all these various things. We relied on magazines and TV commercials. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but not always. I just think it would be nice if we were more focused on playing our games and having fun like we did back in the day, being grateful for what we got instead of biting at the chance to be negative or tear games apart, as if it were a blood sport.
@Shiryu I wish I knew the answer to the honestly. We're so blessed to be living in an era where games are plentiful, there are many options to choose from in terms of consoles and games, and video games are vastly more popular and acceptable in this day and age than they were in the 90's. We have games that go on sale constantly, games that use VR and motion controls, games that look like a Pixar movie, games that tell deep and compelling stories and games that allow us to play with our friends no matter where they are.
As a gamer who grew up in the 90's, I am very grateful to be living in an era where all that and more are occurring around us. I truly do not understand why gamers these days are so jaded, cynical, negative and constantly attack games before they give them a chance. I feel old for saying this, but I remember a time when video games were about having fun, not going to message boards or comment sections and exclaiming our pure hatred for a piece of entertainment.
At any rate, I truly hope us as gamers can focus on what's important, and that is of course having fun, instead of focusing so much of our time and energy on hate.
@Shiryu Stands up and starts clapping Bravo, good sir! That was beautifully said! I wish more gamers thought like you do. Thank you for giving us your opinion on this game and for reiterating that video games are about fun. A concept that is lost to many gamers sadly.
Seriously though, thank you for bringing common sense, decency and for explaining the purpose of why we all play games to this comment section. It was sorely needed.
@WiltonRoots "The way I see it is, if you don't like the opinions and review scores this site dishes out, leave. Find a site that ticks your boxes and walk away. Don't waste your time in here telling people you hate a game you've never played on constant loop for over a year."
@UmbreonsPapa He's literally a manchild when it comes to Nintendo, and thus, it's no surprise to me at least, that he's having a temper tantrum for all to see. That guy is an attention seeking child that cry's on Twitter when he doesn't get his way, or makes inappropriate videos that disrespect a legendary video game creator. He quite literally is the poster boy of "Nintendo Fans GONE WRONG!"

I do hope they try and find a way to at least allow us to post our courses online once they see the demand for it.

I do my best to stay within the realm of E to T rated games, and the main consoles I use are my 3DS and Wii U simply because Nintendo is still actively pushing for good, wholesome values and family friendly games. The PS4 and Xbox One may have a couple games that target families, but not nearly enough. Those consoles are saturated by gory games with profanity spouted in every cutscene and sexual themes pushed down your throat. It's quite sickening to say the least.
That's why I mainly stick to Nintendo to provide my gaming experience because I can trust them to retain good moral values and a strong push for family friendly games. I understand it's the unpopular thinking in today's society to want more family friendly content and less violence, sex, dark themes and bad language, but I'd rather been unpopular with my opinion than play games that can alter ones moral compass.
Re: Rumour: Detachable NX Controllers Will Offer Wii-Like Motion Control And Advanced Force Feedback
I'm generally a fan of motion controls, if done right. Thus, I would be completely fine if this rumour came true. I'm looking forward to seeing what the NX is capable of.
Re: We Have To Do A Better Job Of Explaining The Uniqueness Of NX, Admits Reggie
@WiltonRoots "Gamers," and especially "Nintendo fans" HATE the word "uniqueness" sadly. To them its more of a hinderence than something something that enhances their gameplay experience. Sadly, that narrow minded thinking is what will kill the industry. Unique ways to play, or "gimmicks" as many affectionately like to call it, are what will grow the gaming industry and propel it forward.
Re: We Have To Do A Better Job Of Explaining The Uniqueness Of NX, Admits Reggie
@GrailUK That would truly be amazing! <3
Re: We Have To Do A Better Job Of Explaining The Uniqueness Of NX, Admits Reggie
@TheNomad That literally does not affect sales as seen by Fire Emblem Fates. If the gameplay is solid and the appeal for said game exists, then it won't matter if it's censored or not. I seriously doubt Nintendo will ever change how they localize games as I've yet to see a game that has been affected in sales due to localization or censorship, at least when it comes to Nintendo. As long as the game is appealing, looks fun and is marketed properly, consumers will buy it regardless of the content that has been altered. Most people, like myself, only care about such things if it drastically changes the game for the worse. And last I checked, no game that has been "censored" or localized has even come close to that criteria.
Re: We Have To Do A Better Job Of Explaining The Uniqueness Of NX, Admits Reggie
@GrailUK I hope so as well. As much as everyone gives the Wii U Gamepad flack for existing, I for one loved it, especially with games like Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X. That and being able to play your games on the controller is something that I'm so use to by now that I hope Nintendo carries that idea over to the NX.
Whatever the NX will be, it'll have my support 100%.

Re: Eidos Montreal "Never Thought About The NX" For Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
@Dislikesfats If by "out of touch" you mean they couldn't give a crap about shoddy western "AAA" games that are overhyped to the heavens and beyond, then yes, I suppose they are. Honestly, I'd rather they be "out of touch" then give into the demands of the whiny third parties who now control the industry sadly, no thanks to Sony and Microsoft. Quality over quantity, that's how I see it, and a lot of western developers lack that quality that Nintendo brings so elegantly to the table.
Re: Pokémon GO Player Aims For Million XP In 24 Hours, Unwittingly Triggers Anti-Cheat Mechanism
@Damo Still doesn't excuse the fact that he came across as incredibly arrogant. Charity or no charity, that doesn't hide ones ego.
Re: Pokémon GO Player Aims For Million XP In 24 Hours, Unwittingly Triggers Anti-Cheat Mechanism
"Games are meant to be played, and in my opinion played well"
This guy sounds a little too hardcore for his own good. Like, why would you waste your time trying to prove this to Niantic? Most people would never attempt to do this. All this guy proved is that he's got too much free time on his hands, and he comes across as yet another arrogant gamer with the attitude that ya gotta play games well or not at all. Opinion or no opinion, it still sounds fairly arrogant.
Re: We Almost Got A Pokémon And Fire Emblem Crossover Game
@FierceRagnar And yet that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's more alive than ever thanks to Awakening and Fates, and it's become one of Nintendo's major IP's. It would have become a dead franchise if it had kept the course and only appealed to its hardcore fanbase. Thankfully they didn't and Fire Emblem's popularity and sales have never been higher.
So quit being so melodramatic. Either accept the new changes or move on. It's that simple. But enough with this "Fire Emblem is dead" rhetoric. It's simply not true.
Re: We Almost Got A Pokémon And Fire Emblem Crossover Game
@CrazedCavalier People did throw a fit in regards to Fates over some truly asinine things as well. It was embarrassing to witness both as a gamer and as a Fire Emblem fan.
Nintendo fans also threw a fit as Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox Zero, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, and Metroid FF, and despite all the incesist whining, all of those games turned out to be some truly wonderful games. I agree with @JaxonH. Almost every game Nintendo releases these days either has people screaming bloody murder or has some "controversy," and I use that word very loosely cause most of those "controversies" we're hardly worth mentioning or discussing. The final product of every single game I've mentioned turned out to be better than expected or the quality of the game outshined whatever blemishes or issues people had with it initially.
I honestly wish gamers these days would focus less on complaining and more on playing, cause that's all I see these days, and more than half the reasons for people's ire or hate are unwarranted, especially when it comes to Nintendo.
Re: We Almost Got A Pokémon And Fire Emblem Crossover Game
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was a sublime JRPG and I'm glad they didn't turn it into a Pokemon x Fire Emblem game. It's easily a Game of the Year contender for me alongside Fates and Bravely Second thus far.
It's a wonderful feeling to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. It's too bad many gamers didn't give it a chance or thought localization choices was a valid excuse to give for missing out on this excellent game.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@Utena-mobile I honestly couldn't agree more with what you just said. It was a simpler time back then, but at least we weren't at each other's throats all the time over so many petty things and judging games properly, not being so consumed with the amount of pixels on screen but rather the content within the game itself. Such things more than likely occurred even before the time of the GameCube, but not to this extent, and certainly not this much hatred over a piece of entertainment.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@Utena-mobile It truly was the Wild West back then. And yeah we didn't know any better because news sites weren't informing us about all these various things. We relied on magazines and TV commercials. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but not always. I just think it would be nice if we were more focused on playing our games and having fun like we did back in the day, being grateful for what we got instead of biting at the chance to be negative or tear games apart, as if it were a blood sport.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@Shiryu I wish I knew the answer to the honestly. We're so blessed to be living in an era where games are plentiful, there are many options to choose from in terms of consoles and games, and video games are vastly more popular and acceptable in this day and age than they were in the 90's. We have games that go on sale constantly, games that use VR and motion controls, games that look like a Pixar movie, games that tell deep and compelling stories and games that allow us to play with our friends no matter where they are.
As a gamer who grew up in the 90's, I am very grateful to be living in an era where all that and more are occurring around us. I truly do not understand why gamers these days are so jaded, cynical, negative and constantly attack games before they give them a chance. I feel old for saying this, but I remember a time when video games were about having fun, not going to message boards or comment sections and exclaiming our pure hatred for a piece of entertainment.
At any rate, I truly hope us as gamers can focus on what's important, and that is of course having fun, instead of focusing so much of our time and energy on hate.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@Shiryu Stands up and starts clapping Bravo, good sir! That was beautifully said! I wish more gamers thought like you do. Thank you for giving us your opinion on this game and for reiterating that video games are about fun. A concept that is lost to many gamers sadly.
Seriously though, thank you for bringing common sense, decency and for explaining the purpose of why we all play games to this comment section. It was sorely needed.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@WiltonRoots "The way I see it is, if you don't like the opinions and review scores this site dishes out, leave. Find a site that ticks your boxes and walk away. Don't waste your time in here telling people you hate a game you've never played on constant loop for over a year."
Wise words indeed!
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@UmbreonsPapa That's what I've garnered as well. Hopefully one day he grows up a little, but I'm not counting on that to happen anytime soon.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@VanillaLake Hahaha, indeed.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@UmbreonsPapa He's literally a manchild when it comes to Nintendo, and thus, it's no surprise to me at least, that he's having a temper tantrum for all to see. That guy is an attention seeking child that cry's on Twitter when he doesn't get his way, or makes inappropriate videos that disrespect a legendary video game creator. He quite literally is the poster boy of "Nintendo Fans GONE WRONG!"
