One of the things I have learned in the many years that I have been involved with games, is that you shouldn’t put much stock in people who make fun of you due to your preferences.
The gamer community in its entirety is not exactly well known for their maturity, and this is certainly not limited to only young gamers either. For instance, there is this particular toxic attitude that “some games are not true games.” For instance, try to claim that mobile games are proper games as well on any forum that has gamers that are more involved with their hobby and you will likely open yourself up to all sort of nastiness. Another example is that liking Animal Crossing these days is akin to heresy. How about claiming that the F-Zero series could do with an easy mode in certain circles? Or how about the ever persistent “PC master race” crowd, people who will basically make fun of anything that is not PC? I could go on and on.
Liking Nintendo is basically in the same ballpark in certain circles. To them, Nintendo stopped being relevant ages ago, when they stopped concentrating on making the most powerful hardware and instead focused on entertainment. To some of them, Nintendo only makes childish games. Or perhaps they find that Nintendo just makes the same game over and over, a sentiment I heard often before Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In all fairness however, I should also note that a certain subset of Nintendo fans are also in the immature camp, especially when it comes to certain Pokemon fans.
Anyway, to get back on point; you cannot win with these people. So best thing is just to ignore them and do your own thing. After all, do you really need the validation of other gamers to enjoy your own hobby? I know I don’t.
