what the fuck is up with resetera posters acting like SNK was some sort of super unknown entity back in the days.
Nintendo-GAF, Shuri. Nintendo-GAF.
Oops, meant to edit this in. Well, whatever.
I think it's more of an age thing honestly. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but I also played and owned other consoles. I was also a huge arcade fan, so SNK got love from me--Metal Slug series, SamSho 1/2 especially, Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Baseball Stars, Art of Fighting, KOF, etc. I also started gaming when arcades had some presence, although dying overall in the US.
Us arcade heads are a dying breed lol.
The current average active ERA poster started gaming in the PSOne/N64 generation when arcades were basically dead in the US.
Nintendo hyperbole at ERA is just a continuation of the Sony hyperbole in GAF's heyday in another form. Both peaking due to commercial and critical success--PS2 with GAF and Switch with ERA.
PS3 sycophancy at GAF, especially in the early days of the system, was kinda fun to make fun of lol. You had the generals of the SDF, Wollan and Kittowny ushering every new Sony 1st party exclusive as some revolutionary shit. Remember the hype for LAIR? LOL
