god i hate that nintendo kiddy stuff. It makes me very very angry. MAinly because it doesn't make any sence. It would be like calling puppy's kiddy just because there cute or kid like them.

 

You have Sony to thank for that. With the N64 promoting Pokemon games, Sony pointed out that little kids have Nintendo systems, while the mature crowd owns a PS2. Target that idea to every teenager who wishes they were older/more respected, and you have an avalanche. The GameCube was affected by the remnants of this Sony mudslinging, as they tried to make the GC seem more of a hardcore system with the Resident Evil series, Eternal Darkness and those type of games. Problem is, teenagers are stubborn creatures that love to be negative, so once a negative thought is in their head, it sticks for a long time.

 

Now Im not sure about Mudslinging but it probably didnt help Nintendo get rid of that Kiddy label when they themselves said they were going to aim towards that target audience.
