the Nintendo ShittyFagour is for children who can't play mature games for mature people, such as myself.
I don't think Segabros fear it, it's mostly Sony fans doing console war shitposting, and most of them weren't even alive back then, it's /v/ kids doing retrospective console wars, but most people on neo-/vr/ started with PS2 or PS3

Outside of shitposts I don't think it's so much fear as it was disappointment. Nintendo lost big 3rd party support they enjoyed during the SNES days (evident in its abysmal jrpg lineup) and suffered from shittier or less feature-ful "64" versions of games (Ridge Racer, Destruction Derby, etc) or outright slop (the infamous Superman, Clay Fighters, etc). The tiny library overall that was reflected during its whole life with the dripfeed trickle of worthwhile games being released. Considered worse hardware at the time than the PS1 and burdened with the extremely limiting cartridge factor compared to disc. Its celebrated library today is 99% 1st party games. It's controller isn't soulful, it's fucking stupid. Expansion slot on the controller was a stupid idea especially when the slot is shared by both rumble and memory card. It deserved to be shit on and still does despite the several very bright gems worth playing.

I will offer an alternative perspective. Nintendo's 2D/handheld consoles have been better than their 3D ones, historically. Where else are you going to find Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country, Mega Man X, Link's Awakening/DX, Oracle of Seasons/Ages, and the mainline Pokemon games? N64 just didn't have it. It's still a fine console none the less. I still have my childhood console, spent many hours playing Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, DK64, Gex, Wave Race, Mario Party, Smash Bros, and of course Super Mario 64.

The troon fanbase is extremely obnoxious.

Same reason everyone hates mlp.

64 troons are the people who just want to play the same 5 games for the rest of their lives. They're easily amused midwits and naturally this makes them goyslop consumers in other areas of life. They have nothing interesting to say because there's nothing left to say about the only 5 games they've ever enjoyed, yet they continue to blabber on anyway. This is what makes them so hated, it's obnoxious to blabber endlessly about the same old boring shit we've all heard a million times.

64 troons then project and assume the ps1 enthusiasts just replay mgs and ff tactics over and over, but actually the ps1 enthusiasts are novelty seekers always looking for a new "hidden gem" to unearth. There's always a new ps1 game getting translated, or one that flew under your radar because Sony was shooting games at you like bullets from a gatling gun.

We are not the same.

Nintendo 64 had very limited support from third-parties and had nothing or almost nothing to offer in several genres: rpgs, tactical games, beatemups, realistic or semi realistic racing games, VS fighting games, rythm games, survival horrors, narrative games, pinball games, 2d shooteumups, 2d action games... The fact that most games were made by a handful of companies also meant you would be watching the same aesthetics and genres over and over.
People like >>10102341 would just pretend they didn't like video games anymore unless they were made by Nintendo, but this isn't healthy and made them often just sad and angry.

I don't know what do you mean by "realistic", but N64 is famous for having a lot of racing games though. It's one of the genres it does well.

"Feared"? You flatter yourself too much. It got BTFO by PS1 in sales everywhere. Only in America N64 was relatively successful, and it still got outsold 2:1 by PS1 (and btw—a lot of this success was due to Goldeneye, not Zelda or Banjo or whatever). In Japan it got outsold by the fucking Saturn (!), and in EU, half of the population probably doesn't even know what N64 was. Unsurprisingly, it's all American onions slurpers who shill N64—the same crowd of youtubers who drove the SNES game prices to $150-300.
N64 is simply over shilled. I don't even mean this in a sarcastic way: it is THE most overrated Nintendo console. SNES is shilled, but it still had stellar 1st and 3rd party games; GC had way fewer good games, but it's at least acknowledged to be a "black sheep". But N64? It has barely 20 good games to speak of, but it has been praised to high heavens by the choir of journos and tendies—to the point they themselves started believing it is some sort of GOAT console, and they """won""" some console war and everyone is jealous of them.
Don't get me wrong though—I acknowledge that SM64, OoT, GoldenEye and so on were good. But what N64 didn't have was… anything else. It had no RPGs, no fighters, no SHMUPs, nothing like MGS, nothing like Silent Hill, nothing like SotN, and so on. Everyone played the same few games on it. And if you dig past the well-known classics, all you're gonna find will be Buck Bumble, Jet Force Gemini and crap like that.
Moreover, there's a reason why 3D platformers died, and why OoT had few real clones. Surprise—turns out not that many people cared about games like these in the end. It is not shocking at all then that GC failed so hard, because it was just N64 pt.2, and everyone already switched to PlayStation by then. Once GoldenEye was no longer relevant, neither was Nintendo's console. Shocking, I know.
So I guess you can continue shilling N64—I just don't know who cares at this point.

I've never been so disappointed in such a blatantly overshilled racing game. Cars have never felt worse. Somehow N64 had so many racing games and almost all of them are trash. Maybe it's because they're almost all American developed.

from what i always hear, people talk mad shit about the N64 these days because they believe all the greatness was just imagined nostalgia from the past and it wasn't that good, but they don't realize that it looks like shit now because they're trying to plug it into their HDTVs.

it was a very common console back in the day, so those people i think account for most of the shit talk. the games look great on the right screens, and they play great if you're not too retarded to use more of the controller than just the thumbstick. (most are too retarded though, and just flail around with the thumbstick for 2 mins then rage)

The N64 has gems but it never mattered because you could pick any 5 games out of the top 20 and they will last you a lifetime.
