| Soundwave said: Nintendo has a "kiddy" image because by and large they are more kid-centric than the other two console makers who market primarily to teenagers/adult males first and foremost. |
That is reality only in the mind of Nintendos detractors.
Nintendo has always been a family oriented console aimed at providing something for "everyone". People began mass labling it as kiddie last gen as insult out of spite for its success with the Wii.
Cartoony/colorful in no way equals childish. Its a matter of style and design for those who have more taste in artstyle than whatever looks the most grimy and violent. I think that pretty much defines the difference between Nintendo fans and others. Nintendo fans see more colors and spectrums in gaming.
Nintendo has made very few games that were "aimed" specicially at children.
Their games aren't aimed at age groups. They are aimed at different types of gamers which is why they have such a large variety.
