Top Ten Reasons to Hate Nintendo

I cannot believe that Nintendo is even likable by even one person AT ALL! Nintendo is utter trash!
The Top Ten
1 Childish Games

Nintendo is an awful company for far more reasons than listed here. The only thing worse than Nintendo are its legion of dedicated delusional fanboys. There is a person here in the comments section that actually believe that Nintendo is a bigger company than Microsoft or Sony...which is laughable at best.

Nintendo got their start and became so unbelievably powerful by running an illegal business. They forced all companies that made games for them into signing a contract that prevented them from making games for other companies. When the US government got involved many years later Nintendo was in control of 89% of the gaming market. They were so complacent that they did not want to release the Super Nintendo to the American market at all. In pure Nintendo fashion they held back the entire industry.

In 1989 Sega launched the Genesis and coupled with Nintendo being forced to evenly compete for the first time legally...began to rapidly lose market share. So what was Nintendo ...more

Charizard use flamethrower on all Nintendo haters. First of all, not all Nintendo games are childish. Fire Emblem isn't childish. The point of Fire Emblem is WAR and a lot of conflict. I played Fates and it was full of war, violence, drama, a lot of unnecessary death of good civilians. The ending was very sad... Depending on the path you chose in FIre Emblem Fates. *Sigh* I feel depressed just thinking about it...

I think gamecube tried to steer away from childish, but everyone still labeled it childish because of the colors.. which quite frankly I prefer imaginative fantasy realms to realistic, since the whole point of gaming is to ESCAPE reality.. Thanks to that mindset yes, current nintendo caters to children. Thanks haters of color.

First off, having no blood and having an E rating does NOT make a game childish and just for kids. Secondly, I thought Disney was for kids! People don't hate Disney for being "for kids" so why are people hating Nintendo for being "For kids"?

2 Poor Graphics

Well if the most popular games have the best graphics, then that's what people expect from games made in present and future times. Lots of good games have crap graphics, but they're ancient. This is a sign of laziness. Looks sell more than quality in this day in age. The most important thing is to at least TRY to make the games look interesting.

This should be at #1. THough I do like Nintendo, and their games are good content wise, the graphics are still not as great as some other consoles. This isn't an issue for me since I don't have a 4k HD T.V., but I also don't want my game to lag or have weird pixel shadows around things etc. I don't know maybe this has something to do with losing revenue because of the horrible WiiU saga that lasted for 5 years.

Um.. Excuse me... You can't judge the game because of graphics. It's about the gameplay. And if you have seen some of Nintendo's new games like some on the Wii U, then you wouldn't be even saying this. They have some good graphics! And even if Nintendo DIDN'T have these graphics, it wouldn't matter because it's about the gameplay.

First of all, like the others said, Nintendo cares about good games over CPU/GPU power. Second of all, it was only starting with the Wii that this trend occured. Before the Wii, Nintendo consoles were the most powerful consoles around. The NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube were the most powerful consoles of their generation!

3 No innovations

Motion controls are stolen from Philips and iLife, 3D gameplay was on pc first and n64 what? Nintendo sucks so bad it's not even funny. PS4 pro on a 4k T.V. together with PSVR versus a Switch. There is no competition, PS4 is a high end gaming console and Switch a ridiculous kids toy. Where is the glorious motion control today? It was a useless gimmick like all nintendo 'innovations'. Nintendo was good but they really suck now and it's time for them to just give up. They should focus on software for little kids like Pokemon, Mario etc.

The people that made this list are stupid.
Nintendo is the pioneer of innovation! Do you think Microsoft or Sony would ever have the balls to make tablet based console? Or try VR technology in the early days of gaming? Sure, they may not work but the fact is that they try to innovate and that's what counts.

Yes Nintendo's innovations were not always good (*coughs Virtual Boy, NES zapper, Power Glove) but they put effort and care into it and actually innovate unlike Sony who just does nothing but imitate them (which could be possible with the Nintendo Switch soon). Microsoft's Kinect is arguable since it was an original concept and it didn't directly rip off the Wii

Actually, Nintendo does innovate all the time with their consoles. PlayStation and Xbox hardly innovate at all, making their consoles generic.

4 Princess Peach as a baby/toddler

Yeah. She doesn't deserve to be in Mario Kart, but I can think of 100 more reasons to hate PlayStation that are worse than this

You hate Nintendo only because of Princess Peach?

Ok who created this list? Also hating on Nintendo for having baby princess peach is really stupid

But there already is a baby peach...

5 Princess Daisy's Voice

I voted for this so Legend of Zelda might go down.

Hi I'm Daisy!
Please kill me.
This is like the only reasonable reason I've come across

It's to differentiate from the other females. She's sounds pretty awesome

I completely agree 100% on this.

6 Sonic Boom games

Now what, sonic games are perfect. But there is another Sonic game called Sonic Boom. What the heck, this is the same name of a song in 06, Now a game? Now take a look of a failled Sonic Game. Way worster then Sonic 2006. Now this game is about less speed and more exploring, What? Sonic games has to do about speed, not some ordinary exploring animal poop. And there is glitches in this game. Knuckles glitched double jump, high bounces, etc. Plus you know Bigredbutton, This thing doesn't even know whats sonic so that means they made it into a sloppy Sonic game that can't be published

Since Nintendo had the least to do with this, please take this off the list. Nintendo can probably buy SEGA, as it is the The Walt Disney Company of video games (after all, both companies are gigantic enough to have a slew of painfully underrated entries). Also, check out the porn pics of Amy Rose (Sonic Boom) without fur such as DexterCockburn's pictures of Amy Rose and Coco Bandicoot being gay. My top favorite Nintendo game is Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, which will dominate many of my lists, like my top hated video Nintendo game which is Mario's Early Years. - The Ultimate Daredevil

Nintendo didn't even make those abominations! The fact people are digging this deep for a reason to hate Nintendo only proves the hate is completely uncalled for.

Big Red Button and Sanzaru Games created the Sonic Boom games, not Nintendo. Hating Nintendo for the Sonic Boom games is like hating Microsoft for BonziBuddy or Windows malware, as neither made those products.

7 Boring Gameplay

BORING? What?! Nintendo games have great gameplay! There's Super Mario Bros 3, Super Metroid, Wind Waker, SSB Melee, DKC, Kirby, and Mother along with hundreds of others! Also what do you have against Mother/EarthBound? Those games are amazing you Call of Duty fanboy who only cares about graphics and hates us Nintendo fans!

This guys is a classic case of Psycho SOny Crony with no experience to back up his wild accusations. Won't be taking ANYTHING like this seriously as it's made by insecure children complaining about "childish games". Pure provocational bull.

Call of Duty is also boring. No. Call of Duty is SO boring, it makes Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, Sonic's Schoolhouse and Dalmatians 3 blush.

Seriously...boring...gameplay..?
Most of the games have great gameplay! Megatron I hope this is not a joke to show my reaction dude.

8 The Legend of Zelda

Can't people just like or dislike things as they please, Jesus, ya'll are toxic, I thought that the Nintendo community was supposed to be friendly, also, why do so many Nintendo fanboys hate people that enjoy games like gears or Call of Duty? I personally don't hate Nintendo themselves but I do hate a considerable amount of their fan base, Nintendo is far from perfect however, I will say that many of the reasons that people do hate Nintendo are ridiculous, "The Legend of Zelda" being one of the worst that I have ever heard, I can understand if people don't find enjoyment within someone else's favorite game, but that doesn't mean that it sucks

Not just zelda, but many of their games are repetitive, can we please get rid of that stupid green shirt
they should call it legend of the green shirt dude...
I also don't like the satanic path they went down with pokemon and they also saved the satanic bayonetta series. nothing screams family friendly like a angel murdering witch who strips naked with every spell she casts... I am so done with Nintendo..

9 Super Mario Bros.

True story: I used to play Super Mario Bros games when I was a kid but when I was bullied by kids of the same age as I was at the age of 10 for playing these games instead of games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, etc., I just couldn't live with the embarrassment and ditched Mario Bros for good. So, I started playing Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto games and those games were much more fun and they grew on me. Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto helped me gain confidence while Mario only gave me embarrassment in the end. I learned that I had to be more mature as life went on so I quit almost all of my childhood E-rated games and switched mostly to M-rated ones.

You're just a Call of Duty fanboy. This is a classic, and you hate it with no reason at all. Go make a list on the best shooter franchises or something like that.

What? Mario is awesome! Without the original Super Mario Bros in 1985, we wouldn't have video games today!

Well Megatron939... Call of Duty would not exist if this series did not exist, SO HA!

10 Princess peach is the most famous female character so far

And that makes a good reason to hate Nintendo why?

That makes her a bad character?

I'm think she a bad character.

The real one should be Susie.

The Contenders
11 Pokemon

I love Nintendo and I don't care to much on what people think but Pokemon isn't my game and I don't like it, but this fight with Xbox and Nintendo grinds my gear. Because everyone knows Nintendo is way better then the volience Xboxs makes.

Call of Duty is much more repetitive than Pokemon.

You are worse than Adolf Hitler. I sentence you to 1049568291785763827894792754 lives in prison.

I swear, if this Megatron guy isn't a troll, he is insane.

12 Factory bosses won't let workers take bathroom breaks

I voted for this so Pokemon will be lower.
Pokemon is love. Pokemon is life.
Well, maybe.

The floor is probably very sticky.

The smell must be pretty bad.

And how do you know for sure?

13 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series

There were some good titles in that series. Also, I'm pretty sure sega developed these anyway.

14 Virtual Boy

It's actually a pretty bad console, so this is actually a reasonable entry for once.

Because they were trying to perfect the Nintendo 64 idiot. Not many people worked on it

You can't hate a company just for one short lived console.

I'll admit, the Vortual boy is bad. But lots of the reasons on this list are dumb.

15 Unrealism

Really? Just really? How does a game being realistic make it fun? You are telling me that if I made a game simulating walking to work, it would be fun? What is your problem?

So let me get this straight, your saying that Nintendo is bad because it unrealistic? Since when are video games supposed to be realistic?

Who cares? Not every game has to be ultra realistic. Like with pretty much all items on this list, it's not a valid reason to hate Nintendo.

Yeah I'm sure it would be fun if Grand Theft Auto was real. Then people would be dying all over the place. It's the same with Call of Duty.

16 Instructions Not In English

Except they are, as long as you're buying it in the right language. Also, the switch doesn't even have those, so...

So? It's always in English! Unless you live in another country or something.

Who looks at instructions?

I like the instructions.

17 Nintendo Snuck a Phallic Shaped Vibe Scepter in Super Princess Peach

Who was the first to sneak a scepter into Princess Peach.

Sneaking a scepter into Princess Peach sounds like fun.

I like sneaking scepters into Princess Peach.

Snuck a scepter in princess peach?

18 Princess Peach gets kidnapped a lot

I mean, try a different plot for once. When they do though, everyone hates it for some reason.

If that wouldn't happen then what is the Point of the game! Just walking as Mario (or luigi)

Nintendo did made Super Mario 3d world with a new idea in 2 years ago.

Seriously, I agree with all of you.

19 The Nintendo Entertainment System

NES rocks hard mate. There is even a NES horn in Wii Music that you could play.

The NES is the only reason the video game industry still exists.

I love it, even today.

It saved gaming.

20 They copy Sony and Microsoft

Dude! They were the original gaming company! The PlayStation came out in 1994 and the Original Xbox came out in 2001. This just shows that you are trying to find as many things as possible to be proven right.

Well, this isn't true.
Sony did disc games before Nintendo, but Nintendo did motion controls, handhelds, and even video games themselves first!

Sony and Microsoft copy everything Nintendo does. Megatron is a troll looking for excuses.

You obviously don't know your video game history. You see, Nuntendo came first. Then, PlayStation came. Then, Xbox came.

21 Nintendo and their fans can't take any criticism at all

So true. Nintendo fans always belittle Sony and Microsoft (and other companies), but as soon as someone points out Nintendo's flaws, mistakes they made or simply something they personally don't like, a lot of Nintendo fans will start being rude and verbally attack whoever made those comments, calling them Call of Duty fanboys, even though they probably don't even play Call of Duty.

The worst part is, most of them always crap on other games and label them as crap / not as good as Nintendo's games and act all superior around other gamers.

Yup, gotta love the irony on how it is okay to belittle PS and Xbox players, but pointing the flaws on Nintendo is a no-no.

I have been a fan of this company with their games variety, now it's a other story..

they make way too much handleds versions, the physical and digital games was on the same prize, lack of other franchises, ideas..
region lock..

I won't be convinced about the 3ds sales, from where I lived, I saw no one being interested about it, no like the Ds or Dsi.

many fans will deny their attitude, yet they do deserves critizes, and how Nintendo dislike youtubers, because of their copyrights.

the 3ds family is horrendeous, I could buy a 3dsxl, too bad, it's "too old" and everything would be removed..

I loved the GC, I had so many games that the 3ds lacks.

Not all of them but it applies to most fans:
Call of Duty fans: Nintendo is for babies
Nintendo fans: Screw anything that is not Nintendo. Nintendo is elite. Everything else is crap! EA is awful. Activision is awful. Microsoft and Sony are all awful! Screw every non-Nintendo game. Nintendo is god. Everything else is trash like Call of Duty.

When it comes to Nintendo's criticism:
Reviewer: This game isn't so good. It could have been better.
Nintendo: *takes down the video*

Don't believe me? Watch this Haedox's video of Nintendo: The Arrogance and Disespect of an Anti-Consumer Company

I am a fan, and I can handle criticism. But Nintendo, I don't think they really do.

22 Immaturity

Nintendo isn't too childish, but the bossy, infantile & pugnacious Princess Peach is! Super Princess Peach: Overly rude a game.

They make games for toddlers, and none of them are good for adults or even teenagers.

What about SSB4, and all the grown men playing it? What about Splatoon, and all the grown men playing that? They are both colorful, and fun!

23 AM2R Copyright Strike

The problem isn't just that they (partially) took the game down.

It's also how good the game is; luckily, however, there are still many ways to download this game online. Seriously, if you're a Metroid fan, you owe it to yourself to experience this amazing remake.

(However, I'm not gonna lie; Super Metroid Z-Factor and Hyper Metroid were both way better to be perfectly honest)

I hate the fact that our fans have passion for our games! The nerve of these people!

24 They attempt to take down video gaming emulator websites

THEY CAN'T COMPETE with some one giving away 30 year old abandon ware! It proves that nintendo is a derelict company that can't compete at all.. 6 months which is half a year to determine the future, and half a decade 5 years to determine the past. if you have problems with competing with games that are more than 20 years obsolete, then you need to quit the industry. Hey, here is an idea! Let us gamers take a generation off from buying Nintendo games. Something tells me that they wouldn't fair too well, but they deserve it for being a bunch nintend-jerks.. Most of us have more than one brand of system anyway, in fact I have yet to buy a switch and I don't feel the need to either! in fact, I am more likely to never buy another nintendo product again after they attack so many emulation sites.. "If you can't compete with the obsolete, then never again shall my money and your hands ever meet..." "You can't compete with the old games of the old folks? sorry bloke, you going might as well ...more

Well at least this feels like a good reason to hate Nintendo unlike the others on this list. When you aren't selling the console or game anymore than people should damn well be able to get it online.

25 Sometimes Controls Are Reversed

Just turn them over and play with them upside down.

I like the controls.
