I'm not a Nintendo detractor, lol, I've been buying Nintendo consoles since the very first NES.

This label has existed since the Genesis days now 20 years ago, you must be pretty young if you think it started just last generation.

I agree cartoony shouldn't equal childish, but to many people it does.

Who's to say Nintendo doesn't like it anyway? They make a lot of money off kids, a market that Sony/MS largely neglect. Money is money.

Nintendo's concept of games for everyone is sound, I think the problem with it in the West is that what defines "family friendly" has changed from 1985 to today.

Doesn't matter if you buy them or not, that logic didn't become massievly popular until the Wii was released.

Nintendo always boasted the "most" mature games until last gen. They had GE64(the most influential FPS in history) straight out the door on the n64 and the RE Remake for the GC. I'm not evne going to get into Killer Instinct and Smash Bros. Are you going to say Smash Brothers is kiddie?

There were people who would call it that, but it was never a mjaor issue until the Wii came out. The kiddie argument is almost 100% synonomous with the argument of the Wii's graphics or as it went "The Wii can only do kiddie graphics". No time before the Wii did people outright deny Nintendo had Mature games and that mature games could sell like they do now.

Though I'm not going to argue this further beause its pointless. Teere isn't even evidence to back up your claim so saying even this much was foolish of me.

Most influential if you're a dirty console gaming peasant maybe.

And how dare you mention the RE remake before Eternal Darkness when talking about mature GC games? :P

Anyway, Nintendo has always been labled as kiddy by fans of opposing consoles or, before that, old home computer fanboys. What started with the Wii was the whole casual hardcore meme, which is ironic, because during the GC days, people comlained it didn't have the 'mass appeal' of the PS2.
