10 Video Games That Were Ruined By Their Own Fanbases
6. Super Smash Bros.
*ducks thrown object*
Yes, Super Smash Bros.
Not only is the game impossible to criticise without inciting the vengeance of a million-plus Nintendo fanboys, but Super Smash Bros. is also ridiculously unaccessible for new players. This is partly the games fault, seeing as how the tutorial systems have never been particularly involved, but when youre playing against individuals who spend their free time counting frames to improve their game, well, you never really had much of a chance to begin with.
Besides the almost obsessive-compulsive quality of players, Super Smash Bros. itself has essentially just become a vehicle for Nintendo, a means for them to sell toys to their gullible fanbase. Which would be the companys fault, if the fans themselves didnt just soak up everything Nintendo related, greedily lapping up anything with Marios or Links face on it.
In this instance, the Super Smash Bros. fanbase is guilty of over-enthusiasm, as well as spending $2,500 on a one-handed Luigi Amiibo. Yes, that really happened.
