Family orientated means a game the whole family can play together, One that's easy, colourful, kid friendly and without any violence, sex or emotion It can't be family oriented unless it's kid friendly or "kiddie" |
No it doesn't. That may be your interpretation of it, but that isn't what it means or what it does.
Games like super mario bros require increase and diverse levels of skill to complete the stages.
Family oriented means accessible to everyone.
Kiddie games are games that are aimed at children. They are simple and made to simply be played moreso than anything else. They lack complexity and difficult challenges.

These are family oriented games. Unlike kiddie games they have more complexity and challenge at varying levels to suit different interests, but remain playable and entertaining for everyone at the same time.

What you are describing is a "mature limited" game. What your statement is claiming is that anything that isn't mature (violence, blood, sexuality) is kiddie. This is the problem with most people and their presumptions of Nintendo. They use binary logic like that.
I couldn't stomach playing kiddke games but I've also gotten tired of all guns, blood and gore. I prefer games like Red Steel 2 and Zelda and Metroid. Neither of those are kiddie but
Also, Nintendo does have some sexual references in some of its games (mostly Zeldas but also games like Captain Rainbow).
The negative beliefs about Nintendo have always been founded on bias, not fact.
