Pachter insights Nintendo fanboy rage (again)

118 Comments

I know, I know. I shouldn’t indulge anger-making statements. But with so many gems from Pachter in the past, they’re hard to resist at this point. In a recent episode of Bonus Round, he said:

I don’t think Nintendo fans are so stupid they would buy a piece of cardboard. A box on the other hand, that says Nintendo on it, they probably would. Remember when you were a kid and you get gifts, and when you’re really little you like the box better than the gift? That’s how I think of Nintendo fanboys.

Discuss.

  • suportedcofe

    I love this guy!!!! He’s just so hilarious.

    • Josh

      I know! His dumb statements are easy to laugh at.

  • Seb

    I just want to know why he still has his job, the statements he makes are extremely rediculous.
    I feel sad for him :/

  • Tails the Foxhound

    Ah, the rare Lvl 50 troll, the Business Troll. He’d be a halfway decent analyst if he just stopped with all these backhanded remarks. Then again, I guess you could really say the same for most game journalists. u_u

  • White Yoshi

    NO MR PATCHER, I DONT GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING! I ACTUALLY PLAYED THE CONSOLE! AND DIDN’T PLAY WITH THE BOX! CUZ I WAS A NORMAL KID! AND DIDN’T LIVE IN A BOX!

    • http://twitter.com/Nathdnath Nathdnath

      I feel ya. Mr. Patcher is the one playing with the box, the frigging XBox.

    • LaLaLa

      Me too, but you don’t see me trolling

    • shmuga9

      Doesn’t mean boxes can’t be fun too :P
      *Homer playing with box*
      Homer: Tee hee hee
      *Pachter reaches for box*
      Homer: No! My box!

    • Holonboy

      Eh, Spongebob might have proved better as an example…

    • BR!4N

      This is an even better one.

    • The Random Man

      Umm…That’s based off of Spongebob…

  • Nemui

    Erm… I am a Nintendo fanboy and I feel offended. But damn, who cares? He’s just begging for attention. I hope he disappears again after the launch

    • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

      He will, we won’t hear from him for a while after, hopefully…

    • Ninpalk

      Hey guys, I, Ninpalk, say Pachter does not know anything about gaming and should just keep his opinions to himself. I’m on the internet so let’s go quote this, I have just as much authority as this guy!!! Feel free and re-post this if you would like David.

    • shmuga9

      Don’t worry, if the Wii U sells exceptionally well this fall he’ll shut up… until he can think of something else to twist around into something negative. He and others predicted the 3DS would bomb and the Vita would do well in sales but that was wrong… and look at what happened to that.

    • Ichigo Kurosaki

      He’ll go away regardless. What’s he tryna prove?? I’ve been a Nintendo fan since birth and a Sony fan since PS1. I like each company equally and would like to see both do good. Sony and Nintendo fans alike should do the same. Now as for Microsoft…..lol.

    • ultimatedude

      i think patcher has a small penis tht makes him rage on nintendo fans cuz its either tht or crying about how small ur penis is.

    • Cokimoto

      seems like patcher never got a NES when he was young.

  • Ichigo Kurosaki

    This is funny. Nintendo has a lot of haters and those comments he makes proves it. And when he says stuff like this it makes me wonder if he’s serious or not. This is stuff my friend’s would say, not a grown ass man. I’m just saying.

    • Giro

      Ichigo is a nintendo fan! No way! After playing in the virtual psp world I thought non virtual would be below you. Also yes I have been watching your every move substitute soul reaper

  • Egghollo

    Wait, wait, wait..

    Is Nintendo fans = Nintendo fanboys? I thought fanboys was those idiots that loves a brand and hates other competitor brands. Now I’m confused.

    • giro

      You are right to make that distinction but it is questionable if patcher is doing the same. Although even fanboys would be pretty pissed with a plain nintendo box

    • K

      Nintendo fans and fanboys are the same thing they’re all in straight up drugged mode with everything and anything Nintendo kinda sick if you ask me,this blog.proves it

    • jdub

      I hope Nintendo gets well in the near future, I really need them to continue making great games.

    • Egghollo

      Pachter, is that you?

    • http://twitter.com/CrashTophatter Crash Tophatter

      Yo, patchy. Wass up?

  • Kipiliooo

    According to his analogy, if these nintendo fanboys (sexist comment) bought a box that says nintendo on it, then they would be getting what they paid for…right?

  • NeonNerd

    Is it not you insighting it, by posting this on here?

    • jdub

      You have a point, but there’s a lot of news like this, and David only posts s fraction of it.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Omar-Ahmed/100002113873233 Omar Ahmed

    What?

  • Nukulear dawg

    So much for being a non biased analyst lol

  • ZhaneEndrick

    *incites
    Does anyone really listen to Patcher? Has he ever gotten anything right? Serious question.

    • CBNS

      This far what i have readed him talking about Nintendo the outcome has been always opposite so if Patcher has something bad to say like that console won’t sell at all it will be a good thing.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lorenzo-Jackson/100001426897507 Lorenzo Jackson

    Im not a fanboy, I’m a gamer but even I find his comment on Nfanboys irritable.

  • Durango

    He should get a real job, not as an “analyst”.

  • Dark Pit

    Pachter… just stop talking.

  • FunkyKong84

    Wii is the best console IMO. I enjoyed every second of playing with it. So yeah while there are extreme fanboys, there are also people who love playing Nintendo consoles more than those of Sony or Microsoft.

    • Beat

      Gamecube is the best console IMO.

    • http://twitter.com/YuriWhitehall Yuri Whitehall

      SNES FTW!

    • Elctric

      Gamecube FTW!!!

    • LaLaLa

      Patcher FTL!!

    • http://www.nintendoworlds.com/members/turbopikachu.22921/ TurboPikachu

      OMG YES! GameCube is forever my favorite console. :3

  • Swankenstein

    You are all feeding.

  • crash

    This is what Patcher is, an Anti-Nintendo-fanboy. He clearly made two statements about us, and then admitted he did them as well. For example, he called us fanboys, when he clearly is a fanboy, but just of being an Anti-Nintendo-fanboy. And he just said that he “doesn’t think were SO stupid that we’d buy a carboard box” when he clearly stated that he played with carboard boxes. So is he saying that he’s “so stupid”? I don’t get why so many people despise Nintendo anyway, maybe it’s because they make games other than shooters that are actually worth playing, but don’t make you look ‘cool’ in front of your friends. That, or it’s because he plays with cardboard boxes.

    • Josh

      You sir, just won 10 interwebs.

  • austen

    im gonna go ask connor from assassin’s creed 3, if he will take care of this guy

    • http://twitter.com/Nathdnath Nathdnath

      Can you ask him for the 70 bucks he owes me?

    • LaLaLa

      Remember: Say that Patcher is a Templar

  • http://www.facebook.com/martin.kearney.104 Martin Kearney

    I HATE this guy. It may be his job to critizize, but you don’t need to troll on Nintendo most of the time.

  • MadCrain

    And incredibly I’m not a Nintendo fanboy, I’m a gamer in general, but still, I prefer Nintendo so this down right insulting.

  • Zimmer Remmiz

    Anyone know where this guy lives?…

    • jdub

      …. uh oh….

    • http://twitter.com/Nathdnath Nathdnath

      He will be living in hell after I’m through with him.

    • http://twitter.com/CrashTophatter Crash Tophatter

      He lives at 87 Fag street.

    • Zimmer Remmiz

      Ah, thank you…

  • Co-Wink-Key dink inc

    No matter how much I read it, I don’t understand his comment

  • Co-Wink-Key dink inc

      Or you are the fanboy, and therefore can….

      BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS!

    • Beat

      L never said he/she didn’t play those games… Nor did they say they played Call of Duty… And you are really just proving their point…

      But in response to the original poster: it becomes more than his opinion when Pachter insults other people: we have every right to bad mouth him when he bad mouths us.

    • Enigma

      That’s Kaizar for you.

    • http://www.nintendoworlds.com/members/turbopikachu.22921/ TurboPikachu

      I have MW3 on the Wii and it’s awesome. It’s been so fun, I’m gonna get Black Ops 2 on Wii U the day the game comes out.
      Seriously, don’t bash on Call of Duty. Once you play CoD Online Multiplayer, you won’t be able to stop. :3

    • LaLaLa

      non-specific action figure approves this message.

    • kelvin

      man i have the first modern warfare on the wii but you can’t play multiplayer on it because they turned the server down :(

    • http://twitter.com/YuriWhitehall Yuri Whitehall

      indeed he can and has spoken his opinion doesn’t mean we can’t have an opinion about his opinion.

    • Enigma

      I agree with L about everything.

      You guys are just a bunch of dumb fucks.

      :P

    • csaw

      He has the right to speak his opinion and others have the right to criticize him on it. Freedom of speech is a two way street.

  • jdub

    I don’t care. All he basically said that he was weird child who for some inexplicable reason had a love of cardboard boxes. I just find it disturbing

  • Enigma

    Ok, now he is just trolling. Look at all the attention he is getting for it. He doesn’t care if you guys hate him, as long as he gets all this publicity. Haha.

    • http://twitter.com/YuriWhitehall Yuri Whitehall

      basically i think that is it, after all him getting popular, even if in a bad way ensures the media keeps on a watch out for him.

    What’s with this guy!? Will he insight the wrath of BRONIES as well?

    • Josh

      Bronies are idiots.

  • Hybrilynx

    they needa patch patcher becuz he gots one shell of a glitch.

  • J-Biz

    Oh Pachter, you know those kids that were stupid at school. So they would pick on the clever kids to try and make themselves look above them?

  • http://www.facebook.com/JonathanRider Johnny Rider

    Funny, that’s a lot more than I could say for him.

  • RequiredName

    The word is “incites” and continuing to grant this person a semblance of validity by succumbing to terminology as “anger” and “rage” is only undermining what your blog is about. If this is the sort of thing you’d like to “discuss”, I’d say you clearly don’t get out as much as you would claim you do.

  • Beat

    I dunno. I would buy a cardboard box if I could play Zelda on it. Because at the end of the day, it’s about the games, not the console.

    • http://twitter.com/YuriWhitehall Yuri Whitehall

      if said cardboard didn’t need tech to run Zelda would be even better :), more interesting at that as that would mark the birth of magic :P

  • djdorito

    i fucking hate this guy

  • Nintyfan10

    I felt that way about Wii….I liked the box. But the console was underwhelming.

  • Josh

    I couldn’t give a crap about the packaging. It’s what is inside that I want. (which is why I don’t understand why players are so incredibly obsessed with getting the box covers but, whatever) I want toe game dang it, not the thing that holds it.

  • Krodius

    I read more into this, and Pachter is now saying that he meant this as a joke.

    • http://twitter.com/Nathdnath Nathdnath

      That sick bastard.

  • Zack

    Pachter is living off the popularity of our hate. Please stop caring.

  • Lt Derp

    Pacheter is just hating, Nintendo got away with the Wii because of the gameplay and it’s gems, like Pokemon, Smash Bros, Mario Bros, Mario Galaxy etc. Even if Wii U would be EXPENSIVE, or weaker, as some say, it will still succeed. I would never buy a Microsoft or Sony console if there were no Mario or Pokemon on it, I can already emulate PS2 and PSP and i still like the Nintendo products more.

  • Super Street Screamer

    I have a PS3 to play hardcore games with my friends, but I STILL USE WII MORE?! I just love the games for the platform and they keep me coming back for more! True, multiplatform games I play on PS3, but those Wii exclusives are AMAZING MASTERPIECES! Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros, they’re all so much more! I love the greatness of third party games on PS3 and masterpiece first party games on Wii, but it seems I won’t need my PS3 anymore because many third parties are going to develop for Wii U! Well, I can officially say the Wii U has it all!

  • i’m 12 but come on

    anyone remember when xbox fan boys where buying just the box on ebay it was a scam but they still did it

  • mut4nt

    Well…how did he even get the status of a “game analyzer” ?

    • LaLaLa

      It was a typo, he has the status of being a meanie. Yeah, I said meanie.

    • kelvin

      is that a bad thing that you said that or what?

  • Johnny

    I would consider myself a fanboy. Do I own a Wii? Yes. Do I use it? Yes. Do I have the box? No. Would I buy anything with Nintendo’s name? H to the E to the L to the L to the N O!

  • Kevin Jo

    It may be a box that says Nintendo on it, but it has better games than the other boxes.

  • bassmentboy

    Oh my god I want to twist off his head like a cork in a bottle of wine! He probably has a M/S or Sony shirt on underneath his apple one! Moron!

  • Mikey

    man, as a fanboy myself i would love to disagree with him… but after all the ridiculousness i’ve seen on the forums – all the absurd defense of the Wii’s unpardonable lack of real games this year, all the purely insane wishful thinking about the WiiU and the utter inability of those same people to admit that the big N really blew E3, and all of the flaming denial about the WiiU’s gaps in hardware and software as compared to the competition – I think I have to reluctantly and bitterly admit that he might have a point.

  • http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

    Does anyone today really listen to this old man?

  • Holonboy

    I never realized “fanboy” was an official industry term…

  • Speed

    I bought some boxes that said Nintendo on it. They were the boxes that had my 3ds and Wii inside.

  • Manhill

    Patcher…? Who dafuq is Patcher?

  • RETLAW545

    I wanna email my dick to this guy

  • caquillo

    ha he wants to get shot

  • Deuce

    You totally spelled “incites” wrong. The hell is the matter with you.

  • LaLaLa

    I sent in a question asking why Pachter hates Nintendo. Let’s see If he answers…

  • Ttimer

    Stupid people……will be stupid people. He is a simple stone in the river…….not important. :D KH ._.

  • csaw

    You want to know why pachter makes all these idiotic claims? Its because you all give him attention whenever he does. Whenever he makes other more sane claims noone in the gaming media even bats an eye, but as soon as he says nintendo is doomed or something along those lines, he is suddenly getting more coverage, more views, more people writing in. he’s not stupid he obviously doesn’t believe alot of the claims he makes but saying these things gives him a viewing boost. In other words don’t pay him any attention and he’ll stop.

  • EddKupo

    Boxes are fun, and so is Nintendo. o3o

  • Tom

    So basically, “Nintendo fanboys are blinded by their Nintendo goggles. UMAD?”

    Luckily, he’s never been right on his predictions.

  • my name is of no importance

    Hahaa, this guys hilarious XD

  • http://twitter.com/Hannenx Daniel Hannen

    OK, David just stop reporting on Pachter

  • dan

    He’s just begging for attention cos nobody gives a s*** about him

  • BR!4N

    Okay guys, I need an RPA Rangemaster and a full magazine of .50 BMG Incendiary ammunition. Oh, and a Boeing AH-64 Apache for getaway, maybe extra Hellfires on there, those police are crazy. And so are Stinger missles.

  • Paul T.

    He must REALLY like hate mail…

  • DesBrownFanBoy

    That simply shows how much people trust that NIntendo is only going to put a quality product that truly skilled people have slaved over into their legendary cardboard boxes, I personally am considering pre-ordering the Wii U from Game in the UK and having shipped to the US because I simply can’t wait to get my hands on a quality, revolutionary and satisfactory piece of gaming hardware. And of course what ever Zelda game that comes out for Wii U because Nintendo is great

  • ePik Min

    Well… a console IS a box…

  • http://www.facebook.com/jack.smith.315080 Jack Smith

    What else is new

  • Iros

    I don’t even know who this guy is xD Probably just pissed off because Miyamoto has more money than him =P

  • GameAgentZero

    Its Okay for him to dislike nintendo but to go as far as insulting its fans!?! What a asshole!

  • Mseevers95

    Can someone do the world a favor and murder this douche waffle.
