Think you're a Nintendo fanboy? Make sure you have all these essentials in your collection.

Fandom 101

So, do you fancy yourself a Nintendo fanboy? Nintendo has been around long enough to garner an insanely large worldwide following, long before it became popular to own a DS or Wii. Despite a rough patch of years when Nintendo lost its standing as the premier game publisher, "Nintendo" used to be a household synonym for "video games." If you count yourself as one of the Nintendo elite, it's going to take more than having a Miyamoto shrine in your bedroom. With such a long history in the industry, you're going to need to add these items to your collection.

Oh my goodness. I totally have that Donkey Kong Jr. game from the Game & Watch series. I played that thing for hours upon hours when I was a kid. I remember taking that little sucker with me in the car every time my dad would take me fishing. I also saw that little guy in a museum in Washington D.C. about a year ago; it was featured with a lot of other little electronic gadgetry. Fun memories.*smiles*

I could never be a Nintendo Fanboy. Because I'm a girl. This is the second time I've caught you being sexist, gamedaily.com. I'm disappointed.

You guys never get tired of targeting poor Nintendo, do you? All you do is BAWWWWW about it. My God. Choose to ignore it if it bothers you that much... I do like Nintendo though. I'm sorry. Is it a crime I grew up with the N64? Excuse me, I think I need to go cosplay as Claus now...

so the key to being a fanboy is to have ****** consoles that failed?

You should probably put a Famicom on that list. Before the 64DD anyway.

Forget life. Fanboys just need to get laid. Wait, more fanboy babies. No, scratch that. Just keep playing your stupid games and stay the hell off girls.
