Nintendo Fanboys Attack!

Submitted by on August 28, 2007 – 12:09 am4 Comments

Attack!This is an official call to arms for Nintendo fanboys across Mario World! Gamespot has once again stomped on your dreams of game ranking glory with a sub-perfect review of Metroid Prime 3. Grab your Wiimotes (with nunchuck connected, of course) and prepare to picket the CNET office starting tomorrow morning! You must join me to halt their atrocity from falsely spoiling the eyes of the gaming public everywhere. Metroid Prime 3 is perfect, damn it, Nintendo Power says so!

Even worse, Gamespot even pulled another, “been there, done that,” on MP3:C just like with the Game Review That Zhould Not Be Named. How dare they not recognize that excellence in game design must be repeated instead of re-invented. This is what we love and cherish and we want more of it, we don’t want it to change!

We must once again unite and flame Gamespot for what is obviously an attempt to draw attention to themselves by releasing an imperfect, “edgy” score. If you’re unable to make the pilgrimage to CNET’s California office, you can still contribute by speaking poorly of Gamespot in our many fan sites, linking to their reviews in every forum and blog post you can find!

However, those of you who are brave enough to venture to the Gamespot office, it will be a spectacular gathering indeed. We will join our arms and legs, tie them together with Wiimote wires and lumber through the streets of San Francisco, ten stories tall. We can then pluck that hack Kevin VanOrd from his cozy desk and launch him to 150th Ave for reprogramming. Together, Corruption will be perfect.

    Didn’t Nintendo Power have nothing but glowing praise for the Virtual Boy as well? Hey, if you really want a heart attack, I have never played a Metroid game…ever. Never had one come out for the PC, and when I had access to a Nintendo, I was always reaching for SMB games.

    Who cares about a review score that isn’t perfect?
    They gave it an 8.5. They only gave bioshock a 9 so it seems to me that are at least being consistent. So, yeah, settle down already. Everything will be fine. If you like Prime, this wont make the game any worse. If you don’t like Prime a 10 wouldn’t make it any better. Enough with the dramatics please.

    Hah! Before I read the article, I even guessed what it was about. The rating Gamespot gave Zelda didn’t change how much I enjoyed playing it, what do I care? In fact, I agree with Gamespot’s arguments against Zelda, and I’m likely to agree with theirs against Prime. I still can’t figure out why 8.5 and 8.9 are bad reviews.

    It doesn’t matter to me what these games are scored. Reviews, my own included, are all about the reviewer’s opinion, and are going to vary. I found it hilarious when some people stomped their feet over Zelda’s review, and this is even funnier because you’d think they’d be over it. Prime outrated both Halo and Halo 2, and where were the sales? Seriously, folks, if you’re gaming, you have a hobby. Go play.

    So all Nintendo is doing is re-making the same games for every single console. And this time around they are recycling Gamecube games and sticking on fancy motion controls for their wacky new Wii and Gamespot has called them on it.

    Maybe i shouldve simply put out the old XBOX in a slimmer case, thrown out the controllers and had everyone shake their ass at the webcam to move characters on screen and called that next gen.

    Is that what you lemmings want? It’s not too late!
