They kinda drew out some reasons for a couple of numbers and why the hate on Electroplankton!?

Jac21

Lol, not bad. I'm not sure which one to choose, the video that shows the many, many flaws of M$ and the 360, or this one xD

Huxle

worst mistake nintendo ever did was the n64 not packed with cdrom.

Elrinth

add not to that last part.

Sailorcancer

Pretty dumb like the other two.

You had to pause it to see the reason why it's hated.

Sure they had a couple, but overall these videos were either funny, or informational.

Sailorcancer

@PSN ID: Kadaj24:

Good to know you're keeping a positive outlook!

Just kidding, it wouldn't be any fun if we all agreed on everything.

Billkwando

I fvcking hate that music, so annoying!! Overall, all three of these videos sucked. I coulda came up with better reasons each sucked.

PSN ID: Kadaj24

AW!! But Super Mario Bros. The Movie KICKED ASS!!

='(((

why the hate?...

King Seafoam

Gotta say these all have sucked. All three have at least 4 wrong reasons. BORRING.

CRUNK

All 3 of these comparisons had some true points and some exagerated points. Its funny to see people missing the point of these videos expecting their console of choice to escape this trillogy of compaints unscathed. It just points out the flaws in fanboy logic I dont believe any of these are to be taken as hard facts.

Konchu

Half the stuff they had was cool, wtf! Power Glove RULEZ!!!!!!!!

GAMECUBE CONTROLLER ROCKS YOU BITCHES!

Priboi

Oh wow the SuperScope 6. I had that when I was younger lol. I loved it.

BigPete7978

My biggest hate complaints for all three systems. Xbox - no in the box wireless adapter, system failures. PS3 - too many game installations, lack of rumble before dual shock 3. Wii - crap online system, lack of "hardcore" or just good games, too many stupid peripherals.

kirstpo

Solar Jetman was awesome, so I have no idea why that was included. Electroplankton deserves to be on the list because you can't buy it. Where were the DS hinge cracks?

None of the last gen controllers were terrible, but the GameCube one was definitely the second worst (the Duke was the worst, but the second XBox controller was the best.)

Bad things about the GameCube controller:
1. Short cord
2. Z Button
3. X and Y buttons
4. Terrible d-pad; nothing like the good SNES or NES pads
5. C stick is too clicky
6. Underside rubber stuff of analog stick gets worn off when you play Mario Party
7. No rumble in the Wavebird; this controller is so popular, but it is big, ugly, and lacks a major feature

Good things:
1. My favorite main analog stick of the last gen
2. Good variety of colors, although stock would sometimes leave you with no options
3. Prominent A button was nice; basically, this was a great controller if you only needed two buttons
4. I like the shoulder buttons with the analog and digital
5. Super comfortable, as long as you never need to use all of the buttons

This list was very weak. No reason to have it go back so far because there is plenty to hate in recent years. Maybe they could have complained about things that are still applicable. Maybe the fact that Gunpey Yokoi was exiled should have been included.

My reasons for hate would be that shovelware crowds out the decent games from the shelves, that nowadays the DS section is 90% Hannah Montana and Petz games, and more than anything, that Nintendo seems to passionately hate people that want to game with their friends.

No online play with the Virtual Console (via virtual second player; no ROM change is necessary, only emulator changes) is insulting. I could play these games online in the SNES era using the XBand and dialup, but I can't play them online nearly 15 years later? Ridiculous.

@Billkwando: Honestly, the video lifted the entire experience from nifty to an awesome 4+ minutes.

Wtb more slap-shamisen!

Arttemis

Woah woah! Some totally stupid reasons there...Excitebike?? that game rocked, jeez I'm really disapointed from that one, nowhere near as funny as the other two, no mention of Nintendo forgetting aout Europe, no mention of Animal Crossing being a N64 game...they could have easily filled up 8 spots with Mario Party 1 to 8
AND REGGIE....its FUCKING REGGIE, Gamesradar, your name has been taken!! YOUR ASS IS NEXT!!

@Nirual:

I'm glad they didn't bust on the "We would like to play" commercials, cos they always make me laugh, and I love the shamisen music in the background.

The music is by the Yoshida Brothers, and they're face-meltingly awesome. Watch this video, but don't blame me when they crush your house or office with a giant hakama-clad Godzilla leg of awesomeness (or Monty Python leg if that works for you):

about my suggestion with alcohol on NES contacts: I forgot to mention you need to wait for the alcohol to completely dry before powering on.

@Arttemis: Typo... it should read:

Now I know to hate them because they used terrible quality hardware in their cartridges and they're preventing gamers' happiness simply because of greed.

Arttemis

@blackdice: The GC didn't do as well as the runaway winner PS2 but it made money which the #2 Xbox didn't. So while GC lacked a lot of things, it was cheap, had 4 players by default and it had some pretty nice 1st party games.

3rd party have struggled on the last 3 Nintendo platforms. The wii is displaying a very similar pattern. awesome third party games like Zak and Wiki barely move. Wii 3rd part doesn't sell even 1/2 of what Nintendo 1st party games sell. See Metroid prime as an example (it's 2nd party but same diff). The GC has the same problem and so did the n64. Any 3rd party game sold much less then 1st party ones. Some 2nd party ones did well.

kingmanic

@Herabec: "This were 25% dead on, 30% weak, and 30% percent stupid. The left over five% are just a matter of opinion."

...nevermind.

@kingmanic: Ah, thank you! Now I know to hate them because they used terrible quality hardware in their cartridges and they're preventing gamers happiness simply because of happiness.
I find the latter reason to be a particularly devious action and nominate it to count twice.

Arttemis

YES! i've been looking for those quotes for so freakin long. most fanboys have forgotten about these two main quotes in the heyday of the GC era. "GAMERS DON'T WANT GRAND GAMES" and "GAMERS DON'T WANT ONLINE GAMES" are actual quotes from an ign interview i believe last gen from the heads of nintendo. blew my mind. it's like they realized their developement of online play and epic rpgs was severely lacking, so they TELL us that we don't want it? or how about this "guys, GC was an overall failure with bad 3rd party support. if we put out a gamecube 2 it's going to perform the same and we'll be on a downhill slope. i have an idea, let's come up with some gimmick like waving a wand around and tell fans that this is the future and what they want. oh, and let's get grampa in on this." and lo and behold, they sold to the masses once again and are on top.

and the image of nintendo on the donkey above the guy is genius. nintendo tells you what you want fans, they don't listen to you. otherwise an actual half decent online play system would have already been here. sony and microsoft saw the potential, and made the fans happy. sony didn't even charge you(they knew their online play was inferior to Live, but it still did it's job...FREE)

and chalk another strike up for someone who hates the GC controller. i'm a fan of fighting games. i use the d-pad like most hardcore fans. using the d-pad for fighting games on the GC was freaking ridiculous. and as somebody else pointed out, the c-stick? i mean come on. just put another actual analog stick down there. it really does look like fisher price designed this for nintendo. but hey, if you like it, that's all that matters right?

blackdice

@RemyDuvalle: Your forgetting Capcom (RE:4, RE:UC, Okami, Zak & Wiki). Sega doesn't deserve any accolades in regards to wii games as most of their wii attempts have sucked.(Sega Superstars Tennis? Sonic zero gravity?)

@MURDERFACE: Yes, #75 WAS great. Did anybody else catch the Hudsucker Proxy reference? So awesome.

Anyway, the 360 one was funnier (and I'm a "Wii60" person, as the kids say) but this one was pretty good.

Billkwando

Only a few of these I'd agree with. But me being a Nintendo fan boy, I have enjoyed many of the things the people behind the video didn't.

TheDaftPunk

kinda wierd huh? they ran outta stuff to hate...well except the PC...

but now on even ground, maybe people will shut up...awww who am i kidding /sob

NocturnOwl357

I Agree with everything said in the video...

ffmusicdj

Most of these are truly nonsense, but #51 (duck hunt dog) made my day.

List fails ultimately for not mentioning their refusal to translate Mother 3.

ncsbert

I personally enjoyed the blistered thumb with the quip: "Thx MArio Party!" I remember those stupid fucking mini-games that went like: "Rotate the control stick as fast as you can, or you won't get the Power Star!"

Does anyone else remember when Nintendo was offering free gloves for your hands in Nintendo Power to help dissuade any lawsuits? Or am I just that old?

NinjaBurg3r

My only hatred towards the Wii isn't really directed at Nintendo, but shitty 3rd party developers who don't bother taking the time to make a truly awesome Wii experience. Too many are releasing half-assed ports, with tacked on waggle.

Really, aside from 1 or 2 exceptions, Sega and Nintendo are the only decent publishers for Wii games.

... What I would like to see from Nintendo is a stricter submission/proof of concept process. It's disgusting companies are releasing the same games with a new coat of paint over and over. Budget titles or no... that should not be allowed.

RemyDuvalle

@Seiven: Umm the Playstation had like 4 comments about the PSP, had at least 5 that I can remember about the PS1, had a ton of PS2, the first ones were PS2. I'd say maybe 30-40 were PS3 exclusive, the others fall into sony execs, which aren't anything solely.

MS only has 7 years in the market, and they are MS so its easy to hate.

Xer0Ph0kus

So their last list is going to be why people hate GamesRadar. Can you really say "Because we suck" 100 times? At least it will continue to fit the amazing tradition of GamesRadar just not being funny.

Seriously...these lists are just awful.

Rebochan

@GODofWARasator: They did advertise it, but "Wii would like to play"-style...
@Malevolentburrito: At least the cartridges are pretty damn sturdy otherwise, unlike CDs. Nintendo might have hanged onto them a bit too long, but they were good stuff back in the days of the SNES. And I doubt GoldenEye was solely their fault. Ideally, we would've gotten the original on VC and a revamp on XBLA, but neither version came to pass...
@cocomo: Seems more like they aren't willing to invest in the market. The translation teams seem awfully small. Guess why we're getting Mario Kart first in compensation for Brawl. That's right, Mario Kart hasn't got tons of text to translate. Brawl does, especially thanks to trophies.

Nirual

Everyone loves NINTENDO... it's NINTEDO... I mean i love NINTENDO, it's just worth like $50...

LittlestLamshi

Some of the stuff are kinda lame. I liked Uncharted Waters. Pointy NES controller?! I never had a problem with them. You hate Nintendo cuz Metroid didn't sell well?!

The main reason for Nintendo hate, for me, is its online strategy, if you can call it that, sucks! Friend codes. No universal "gamertag." People cheat like crazy and they can't/won't do anything about it.

cantbeatmegaman

This was very meh compared to the Xbox one. It looked like they really tried to come out with things to fill 100 things.
My main problem with the Wii would be the lack of cool online playing.

valhum

@Malevolentburrito:
"Reason #101 to hate nintendo. Having to blow into cartridges to get them to work. Reason #102. Being assholes about GoldenEye 64 on XBLA."

101:It wasn't the blowing it was the abrasion of the contacts from pulling the game out and putting it back in. Try it, instead of blowing just pull it out and put it back in a few times or use a little bit of fine grit sand paper on the game contacts and a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a swap on the NES contacts. Nintendo used really cheap contacts on the NES which corroded easily so it made it nesscary to rub off the corrosion.

102:If i had a way to hinder one of my competitors at almost no cost to me, then fucking yes I will do it. Nintendo would be stupid to let GoldenEye go without some extra cash back.
-----------------Aside--------------------
GC Controller: Wasn't that bad. some nice ideas about making the button you hit most bigger was neat. The N64 controller is one of the worst in the last 4 generation of gaming. Utter crap. The wii mote isn't the best thing ever either. It's niche, sometimes used well (Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, some mini games in Mario party/Rayman/Warioware, metroid prime 3.) but often it's a really bad substitute for a normal controller (almost every other game for the console including mario galaxy and super smash brothers). Shaking to replace button mashing is a terrible design choice. Still the wii mote was way better then the n64 controller of the original xbox monster sized one.

kingmanic

Iwata's (?) quote about RPG gamers is the truest thing I've ever heard,but it's a little hypocritical too,because it also kind of applies to Zelda,too. Of course,Zelda at least takes some skill.

Gaaa, 100 reasons to love each console.

/Lordy, is it the weekend yet?

smitty1123

Now 100 reasons for each console please.

smitty1123

Yea, this one isn't near as good as the Xbox and PS3 ones. It's just grabbing at straws.

azithinkibe

LOL the #75 Reason was great!!!!!!!

i still like the PS3 and 360 vids better.

MURDERFACE

I agree with the controller being not that good on the Gamecube. It was decent on Nintendo specific games, but when it came to FPS, 3rdPS, fighting, and any other game that required a bit more dexterity the GC controller fell short of its expected usage.
As an example just look at Metroid Prime and how awkward it was to look around in that game, and Soul Calibur 2 was nigh unplayable due to the fubar button layout and sizes.

Only thing the GC controller can claim to have better than another is that its D-pad was better than the Xbox's D-pad, even though it was a bit too small for my taste.

PixelRambo

So they still needed to dig back 24 years to find enough complaints and again lots of those aren't even reasons.

But the video did remind me of the Crystal Chronicles RAAAAAGE. I have 2 GBAs, FF:CC, and 4 cables. I knew when I got them that GBAs could boot from the link cable interface. Yet like any peripheral, they put out the obligatory one game (or two? I know one) and dropped it. I don't buy Nintendo peripherals anymore, they are and have always been a scam.

fuchikoma

I loved Mario is Missing to bits when I was a kid. Taught me everything I know about major cities. Also, Uncharted Waters rawks, screw the haters.

Pombar

Thanks for the responses explaining the shoulder button click. I had no idea. I just thought it was breaking internally every time it made that noise. You sure do have to crank it hard to make it click though...

I find it funny that people that like the GC controller hate the N64 controller. I actually liked the N64 controller a lot. Go figure. I thought it worked awesome for the Turok games.

fulgore66

the difference between the three was this...the Xbox one was both 360 and original, the PS3 one was primarily PS3 with a tiny bit of PS2, and to get 100 reasons for the Nintendo they had to go back to original NES AND STILL repeated themselves several times. I think NES has done pretty damn good over the many generations they have spanned.

Seiven

These were great - spread the hate! If not for the RROD I would own all three major consoles, and hate each and every one of them equally.

Sustenance

@The Whaleman: Was it only in Twilight Princess where that calibration came into play? I've definitely been on a screen where you line up two lines on screen to match the edges of the sensor bar in order to calibrate the pointing better. I thought it was in the system config, but it might just be in the one game

@enderx: I noticed that you didn't reply to any posts for examples of fanboys taking it personally. I have a hypothesis, though. Not many of the posts in any of the three threads on these videos so far have really been taking it that personally, so there isn't much to reply to for examples. They seem to be more or less civil disagreements so far.

I'll close with an anecdote.

Some weird guy, trying to be interesting, one time: "Holy shit, that was crazy, man!"
Me: "That was a car driving down the street. That's completely normal."

teeth7

Reason #101 to hate nintendo. Having to blow into cartridges to get them to work. Reason #102. Being assholes about GoldenEye 64 on XBLA.

Malevolentburrito

@battra92: prob true its that I just hated the GC troller alot. So personally it is my worst but I am sure there are some real crappers out there. Some of the 3rd party wireless were arranged a bit bettter and made palying some of the GC party games more pleasant.

TheTog

I agree, the online sucks but the GC controller is not bad at all, electroplankton is ok and sailing in wind waker and phantom hourglass was not bad either. Well maybe a little on wind waker.

HELLSRIDER

@enderx: I wholeheartedly agree, but don't talk shit about Cooking Mama.

@chdir: play-asia.com, man.

haha holy, nintendo fanboys really take it personal.

it's funny.
nintendo's awesome at a lot of things.
but REALLY shitty at a lot of things. Sure, the wii is selling like hot cakes, and I play mine all the time - but if you're not playing the other consoles, you're not a real gamer.

be a VIDEO GAME fanboy.

All either company want is your money.
if they truly cared about 'gaming as an art', we'd see less cooking mama, less lair, less resident evil re-makes, and more god of war, super mario galaxy, etc.

ALL the consoles have truly great things about them, and truly BAD things about them.

enderx

@KirbyMorph:The d-pad is ridiculously small and nearly awkwardly placed.

This is the only issue I do have the the GC controller but almost no games use D-pads anymore. There's always the Hori SNES style and the Pelican Retro controller I guess.

battra92

Still don't find any of these videos entertaining.

Heyyou27

@fulgore66: I had to jump in and join the "GC is the worst controller ever" group. It felt more like a cheap toy than a controller. What was up with the clicking shoulder buttons? Why put the face buttons in an arrangement that made it impossible to hit certain combinations of buttons? What in the world was there to like about it?

The shoulder buttons were analog and digital mixed in one. When you pressed the shoulder in all the way the digital switch would click.

@TheTog: oh man think again the GC controler is the worst.

I still think the Intellivision has a firm grasp on that title.

battra92

Hmmm. Interesting that some of the reasons to hate Nintendo are some of the reasons I love Nintendo.

GC/Wavebird controller? Best controller ever...that's not a Wiimote/Nunchuk. And, yeah, I've used others...Atari 2600 joystick and paddle, Intellivision, Epyx 500XJ, PS1 DualShock, NES, SNES, N64, Xbox, Xbox 360, MS Sidewinder, MS Strategic Commander, etc., etc. My top four controllers would be:

1. Wiimote/Nunchuk
2. GC/Wavebird
3. Epyx 500XJ
4. Tie: PS1 DualShock/MS Sidewinder

I think the 500XJ beats out the DualShock based mainly on fond childhood memories. Best controller ever for the C64! I couldn't decide between the DualShock and the Sidewinder. I liked the DualShock when I was into PS1 games...but I still use Sidewinders to this day and don't care to use anything else for a PC gamepad.

N64 personally ranks as one of the worst controllers.

^ See? I can hate on Nintendo, too.

eugaet

I can't believe people are considering the GC controller "the worst ever". It was bad, no doubt, but worse than the N64's? Seriously? I'd rather play a game standing on a Roll N Rocker, within a Sega Activator, wearing a Power Glove while punching at a U-Force than use that fucking controller.

futurebiblehero

boo I wanted more hate like they did to sony and microsoft.

Ether02

Yeah those clicks in the shoulder butttons? Extra feature. Basically you it had the normal analog sensitivity when you pressed it without clicking. The click was a digital click. It was basically two buttons in one. Wasn't used for that much though, but some games made great use of it. Like Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike which used the analog depression to speed up and slow down, and the click was used as a strong boost or break, the former closing the s foils on the x-wing.

Aitrus233

@phinehas: Is this a joke? You can't use that little yellow nub of a second analog to do anything. The d-pad is ridiculously small and nearly awkwardly placed. It's one of the worst controllers ever designed. It works fine with a couple of random Nintendo games they designed the shitty thing around, but otherwise, it's garbage for every other game imaginable.

KirbyMorph

@Heartwork: Wow. I consider the GC controller to be without a doubt the worst controller I have ever used. I really can't put into words my hatred for that thing. Ugh.

This one was pretty funny, better than Sony, not as good as MS.

Gray665

I liked the GC controller. It's fairly ergonomic in comparison to the other two controllers of that era; the face buttons are arranged in positions in relation to where your thumb can fairly easily reach, and the buttons are sized based on use; A button is the largest, B is second largest, and X and Y are about equal sized. Likewise, the trigger buttons are pretty nicely sized. The fact that the controller has an old school D-pad is great, because it allows you to more easily go straight than the analog stick. However, the analog stick is much nicer in games where you need diagonal directions; trying to press simultaneously up and side on a pad was downright excruciating in old games. I think it's a nice compromise to have both. The pad and c-stick are placed nicely under the thumb joints. It's not a pretty controller, it's actually pretty ugly, but it's pretty nice in function. By comparison, the X-Box and PS2 controllers had a diamond arrangement of buttons, which while not bad, forced me at least to use a different part of my thumb to push different buttons. And as for the clicking, it's like with a keyboard. However, I don't think there were any bad controllers last generation.

Oh, and if it looks like a toy...guess what, it is a toy. They sell game systems at toys r us folks.

That being said, I love the hamburger for the old X-Box too. Hamburger.

@batdrox:
Couldnt agree more, the GC is the worst controller since the N64 controller, which was the worst since the Jaguar Controller. Now that I think about it, I havnt liked a nintendo controller since the SNES.

RuneX

@Heartwork: oh man think again the GC controler is the worst. I would say the wii contorler sucks but I have never used it so I will not hate on it yet.

TheTog

Was friend codes even in there? I guess the online quote from Iwata covered it. I guess I'm not immune to these, I didn't like some of their reasons (Luigi mansion is a good game!). ROB does suck though.

Lokno

Damn, Microsoft had it easy.
Compared to Nintendo, SONY had it easy.
They weren't just focusing on the past two-or-so generations, they dug back to slight NES complaints.
A source of cheap shots, but no one would ever take these videos seriously anyway.
It is absolutely unfair to hold things against Nintendo that weren't DEVELOPED by Nintendo.
From the Advance's worm-light thing, to any Poke-swag other than the video games.
That's no longer in their territory.

Oh, and if you don't like Electroplankton, fine, it's a love-it or hate-it experience, and even the most diehard fans wouldn't deny that.

Oh, and the sailing in Wind Waker was fantastically conceived, you can't hold that late, long hide-and-seek stretch against the mechanic itself. Replace the railing on the sailing with railing on that last bit of the game, please.

All of these have been under-thought and poorly put together, but being (primarily) a Nintendo fan for my entire gaming career, I've just been waiting for the Nintendo one to declare them as such.

PhantomSpaceman67

GC Controller was, imo, the best one from last Gen. I sometimes found myself wishing I could try playing Halo with it.

Overall, this one left me feeling like they put too many things in that didn't matter and missed a few important things, but oh well. Not like this is canon, anyway.

phinehas

This Video is kind of messed up ya know, for the PS3 and Xbox 360 videos you had to type in youre age but not for the Wii video.
Coincidence? I think not. 101 reasons is this list.
lol poor R.O.B.

GUNDAM-RX-78-2

Yep, totally agree that the GameCube controller is great. Not just the best of last generation, but the best controller of all time. Only two flaws, cord is too short for the standard controller and the Wave Bird has no rumble. Someone could say it stinks for fighting games, but it couldn't be more perfect for Smash and even SC2 was ok on it, though everyone knows you should be using an arcade-style controller anyway if you're serious enough about fighting games to complain about the controller.

Loved the sailing in Wind Waker as well. If anything I wanted more of it, and a bigger ocean with more islands and more stuff happening on/in the water. Would have loved a boss battle against that ghost pirate ship thing using the cannon.

Definitely the weakest of the three lists, they got worse with each successive one.

vantesaur

@pokebud: Yeah, like adding colour isn't a big enough improvement but adding better graphics is? I think the jump to colour was the biggest improvement you listed that wasn't even close to being just a multiple release.

And yeah, the whole GBA - SP -Micro thing was overboard. The Micro wasn't needed, and the GBA felt the best in my hands to begin with. The DS lite was pretty much just an outward change to draw more people to it (and boy did it work!).

Tiger-Fever

All of these videos have been rather bad, alot of the points are just wrong..

JamieA

Heh, I think this one is the best yet.

tehFluffz

Hmm, I admit to laughing very hard at the Xbox one and being mildly amused at the Sony one, this one was only worth a few smirks.

A couple points though:

1) I never understood the Wind Waker hate. To me it's the best Zelda game. Twilight Princess was somewhat of a letdown and I still need to finish it one of these days. I never minded the sailing and to me it was something refreshing and fun to find and explore every little island.

2.) The Gamecube controller is, in my humble opinion, the best controller of the last generation for everything except 2D fighting games. Too bad there aren't the fighting sticks out there like there is for the PS2.

3.) Oh Noes! Girls and adults is playing mah gamess!!
The casual market sells product. Nintendo expanded the market and saved their sales. My mom would never play anything except Columns, Dr. Mario and Tetris. Now she'll at least play Wii Sports. It was quite a big thing for me to bring home my Wii and have everyone wanting a turn at it.

The only other time I get that is with Mario Kart.

battra92

is it wrong that i love that music?

catapult37

@pokebud:

It's nothing invented or exclusive to Nintendo. Just look at car manufacturers during the 50s and 60s? New models every year with bigger tail fins and different colours. But on the gaming angle everyone has released
revisions of their consoles through the years. Colours don't count because obviously people want different colours.

The difference is Nintendo has been making consoles and successfully for longer and Microsoft/Sony/Sega.

cocomo

there have got to be well over 100 Ninjabread Man-esque titles for Wii and DS at this point, they could've just done a montage of all of them instead of grasping at straws. Still, just from a pure dickish pov was pretty funny, just like the others.

ajay42

At the risk of sounding like I don't understand that these videos are all in good fun. . . Electroplankton doesn't deserve to be on that list.

WalkingTheCow

wow, half of those didn't even make any sense

animemecha

@Heartwork: I concur. The GCN controller was my favorite of last generation too. Wavebird, anyone??

thePhildown

@Heartwork: Check! Hated it but then again i loved the N64 controller.

Cchrist

I'm more pissed that they didn't mention the elcetro plankton stage in brawl than anything else what a waste of a stage that is, and Sonic and Snake's music get's the vocals cut but some horrible song for samus keeps the most god awful lyrics I have ever heard for a fighting game.

Plus they didn't mention the fact that Nintendo now thinks it's a good idea to release multiple version of a console in its gen cycle.

GBP - GBC (yeah I know it's a little different but not enough)

GBA - GBA SP

DS - DSL

NGC - Multiple Color NGC

etc..

pokebud

@Heartwork: the GC controller is complete garbage. The button layout is so bad. The C nub...wtf is that. The D-Pad is so tiny. The cords are very short. It looks like a fisher price toy to boot. Ugh terrbible controller.

batdrox

And just like the other 2, some of my largest gripes were not covered at all. BUt then I'm not a fanboi but a multiconsole user, so I guess it's not for me.

My absolute largest gripe with the Wii is that you can not calibrate the sensor bar for how large your display is. While this might sound silly at first.. try aiming on a projector canvas and you'll see what I mean. I can't aim above half the actual display before I'm over the display in the games, and sidewise I barely cover 25% of the actual canvas to cover it fully in game.

Comparing the Wii to the other two there's a gripe with all three that the Wii handles best, the 360 and PS3 comes shared last (I think the 360 have a slight edge though) with, that needs remedy 20 years ago:

GIVE US MORE COOP GAMES!!!!

The Whaleman

They forgot to put in constant re-releases of both hardware and software.

Mostly true and mostly hilarious. Many of them did actually make me lol.
I don't understand #100 thou. The VC games have been my favorite part of the system thus far.

@chdir:

As much as people complain about the British games market, it does mean you can still buy brand new copies of this game at marked down price or the normal DS game price.

Also you can pick it up on eBay for less the £20. It is the same with a lot of the harder to find DS games.

cocomo

the mario party hands were the best ever, so much pain you went through for one game and you always went back for more

Jamaces

These reasons are all true! Thanks for that great video :D

M.C.-Action

@ndsOtaku: I'm upset with Nintendo over Electroplankton. They didn't release enough copies. I can't find one for less than $170 new and $70 used.

chdir

I was dissapointed, most where just absurd, and the other where a matter of opinion, i would stick with like 10 good reasons... which compared to the sony ones...

Waka in Japan

All these videos were hilarious. My favs from this one were:

#17 with Reggie clearly reading off a teleprompter
#34 "I loved the Power Glove. It's so bad!"
#44 You let Rare go!? [And they were never the same since then :( ]

Tenchuu

@JakEastside v3:

I can see what is coming. I've seen the Rangers transfer deadline one and it is hilarious.

cocomo

all of it are so very much really true.

c00ler_dood

Considering that Nintendo has been going the longest their list isn't no where near as bad as the Xbox. Hating Europe, scattered release dates that are so wide apart you forget about games. Stupid friend codes. GBA could only be played with a spot light over your shoulder. Shit controllers not a chance, unconventional and forward thinking with some slight drawbacks.

sparced

they really have nothing on nintendo at least compared to ps3 and 360 but 360 is the funniest one

Molockian

And the music is so damn awesome

Joolies

#17 Reggie was lol-worthy (as was old man crotch shot)

Joolies

I think "poor sales" is more of a reason to hate wii owners; MP3 is easily the best game on the system.

Although Nintendo seems to have no interest in advertising the Metroid games which is a reason to hate them.

GODofWARasator

I love the muisc in these videos :D

Flurp

@JakEastside v3: Ah, the Hitler video. Funny stuff.

KM91

That was a pretty lame list compared to the Sony/Microsoft ones, I think at least half of those were totally unwarranted. That said, I did cheer a bit when I saw the sailing in Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass.

So far I'd say the Sony one missed quite a few things to hate on, the Microsoft one was about right and the Nintendo one seemed to be stretching quite a bit to find things to criticise. Maybe if I gave a shit about online play on any system I might have agreed with more of their Nintendo gripes. Overall though, these were a waste of time really.

photoboy

xbox fanboy's even funnier

+ Watch video

JakEastside v3

It was interesting how 30 out of those where completely retarded reasons to "hate" nintendo. I.E. How can "poor sales" for metroid prime 3 be a reason to hate nintendo? Gamecube controller bad? Are you kidding, that was the only controller that wasn't awkward to pick up and use, PS2, and Xbox felt awkward and I've been gaming for a while. This were 25% dead on, 30% weak, and 30% percent stupid. The left over five% are just a matter of opinion.

Herabec

I want to hate more so I can hear that music again!

Kamizzle

lol this makes me lol better than the sony one but still not as funny as the xbox one.

Raziel3333

Being a long time Nintendo owner (dont worry kids, "fanboy" I am not, else I would not have a Megadrive, PSX and PS2) I admit I had a good laught at this one. they really hit the spot with these 3 ads, it's hard to disagree with any of the 3.

Shiryu

I get the feeling from this that fanboys really like Pokemon.

BornToFlail

People hate Nintendo because of Electroplankton?

ndsOtaku

Lulz at same crap, different Zelda..even though I love Zelda games

kanashimaru

Of the three, I like this one the best. Then again, Nintendo's been in the game longer, so there's more to draw from.

Does Not Equal

I wanted to say the exact same thing that Nirual just said. And Heartwork got it right, too.

Yenzo

@Nirual:

Yeah I just realised that too. Nintendo's in ability to release games timely in the EU. My current theory on this is that they like to spread out all the money they make over the whole year. I guess they struggle to count it all at once.

cocomo

I was enjoying this until they called the GC controller shitty. Anyone who doesn't like the GC controller either hasn't ever played a GC, or has some sort of mutant tri-fingered hand. That thing was the best controller of last-gen, imo.

Heartwork

More like 20 good reasons and a lot of grasping for straws. How is "poor sales" a reason to hate Nintendo? If anything, it would be bad advertising. And how are PAL translations not on the list?

Nirual

Perfect way for me to end the night early.

I can almost hear my Wii weeping quietly as I close my eyes for bed.

Witzbold

Ah, the trilogy of delicious hate is complete. That music makes anything more fun, much like the "Yakety Sax" Benny Hill music.
If I was putting this together, I'd show "Friend Codes" 8 or 9 times. Not out of lazyness, but for emphasis.

P.S. Electroplankton is actually pretty good.

DiscipleofJamzy

So much truth... and yet so much hate. :(

VictorStillwater

Hmm. While I usually like these, they need to plan it better. Way to contradict themselves in it.

cocomo

The bottom line for me really is the thin use of online functionality where it counts. In weighing the good and the bad of all 3, the box still takes 1st.

BRASH

#68 and #92 made me lol.

Dragon_Warrior

DS Wide Shut. Briljant!

GerarDOS

This one wasn't as bad as the Sony one, but I still disagreed with a lot of stuff.

VAMP

Half of the PlayStation 3 and Wii reasons were completely stupid and just used to fill up space to make 100. I find it funny how the 360 reasons were all true and probably could have gone beyond.

Undead98

Blackdice-

How is Gamecube an overall failure? It was the number two system out of three. (America is not the world.)
And it was profitable,which I hear is one of the many goals of most successful products.

Also most hardcore fighting game players actually prefer a joystick to a d-pad. The More You Know.

kidnicky

Did they call the GC controller shitty?! *dons RPG launcher*

Taco Bell™

#99...
Hey, screw you. The e-Reader and GB Printer were cool.

And the Afterburner?! Seriously? Not only is that NOT a Nintendo accessory (nor was the Worm Light, but who cares), but it was also the best damn thing to happen to the original GBA.
I installed one into my GBA (along with the Stealth Dimmer Chip so I could adjust brightness with the GBA's buttons) and it was amazing.
