Synonymous with fanboy.
A fantastically successful company known for bringing video games to the masses, Nintendo is home to at least attempting innovation, and despite some dissent among "hardcore" gamers that Nintendo caters to kids, tends to succeed more often than not -- if not critically, then at least commercially.
Though they tend to deny it, Nintendo inarguably possesses the greatest legion of fanboys any console company has ever seen. "Character Battles" that occur on popular websites rarely see any non-Nintendo character win, despite game sales figures which would suggest other characters would win. The most popular games also tend to be Nintendo, almost all the time -- even though sales figures do not support such popularity.
While sales figures of the Nintendo Wii have been staggeringly high, game quality is particularly low, especially when compared to Microsoft's XBox 360, the Sony Playstation 2, and even Nintendo's own Gamecube. Meta-review scores of Nintendo Wii games by independent websites are nearly all below-average, while, despite a general poor implementation of the WiiMote/Nunchuck control inputs, User Reviews rate them at a much higher level.
The only explanation is fanboy.
When someone talks about how great something is, that has great market success, but which is, in actuality, quite mediocre:
"You're so Nintendo."
Translated: "You're such a fanboy."

Nintendo is the label used by the parents of old school gamers in reference to absolutely any device that they consider to be a 'videogame'.
There is no known cure.
Mom: "When are you gonna turn off that damned Nintendo and start taking care of your responsibilities?"
You: "It's not a Nintendo, how many times do I have to-"
Mom: "Whatever. You sit around playing games all day long when you SHOULD be out looking for a job! I can't get you to stop playing Nintendo long enough to do a damned thing around here! You only come out when you're hungry and then you vanish back to your bedroom! You're 32 years old. When are you gonna start acting like-..."
You: "...huh? MOOOOOOOMMM! You're distracting the hell outta me, damnit!"
Mom: "I PAY for that online GameBox Live thing so you can sit around playing your Nintendos all day! What is this, a joke?"
You: "....OOOOOH! TEABAG!"
Mom: "WHAT?!"
You: "Nuthin... talkin' to them..."
Mom: "Anyway, go tell your wife that dinner's ready. And clean up your damn room. I'm fed up to HERE with it."

The Disney of video games.
Nintendo's a great gaming system even though their products are geared for children, but that doesn't mean I won't play them!
