I wouldn't call it an attack. I was pointing out that among the big 3 consoles - the Wii was most popular amongst very young children, whereas the Xbox and PS3 were most popular amongst teens and young adults because of your comment on the audience of the consoles. I realize that saying their games are aimed at children might've been offensive, that's why I added the "There's a thin line between "for kids" and "for everyone" thing. That's just how I see a lot of Nintendo games and I understand a lot don't. Also holding your hand and talking down to you =/= easy. It means that the product was directed at a young audience. Looking at the demographical make-up of the Wii- it makes sense why they would make those games like that. A game made for everyone in mind wouldn't talk down to the player or have to explain basic mechanics over and over. If you took those out- yes you have a game made for everyone in mind, but those things are there and hard to ignore. And just because something was made for kids, it doesn't mean its kiddy. There are kids movies that are made for children, but are mature enough for an adult audience like say Toy Story, Finding Nemo or The Secret of Nimh (some of my favorite moveis ever) and then you have something like Garfield, Cars 2 or Alvin and the Chipmunks- which are clearly made solely for young kids. Sometimes the lines are blurred and you end up with what I hate about current Nintendo games (again not all). IMO I shouldn't have to add this, but obviously there are many Nintendo games that don't do this and I love them. This whole thing really got off topic. The only reason I brought it up was because of your comment . I wasn't using it to smear the Nintendo fanbase. In summary - the Wii U won't sell 10 mil and the Wii did not steal marketshare from Playstation. |
I played many nintendo games and I can say for sure that they don't explain basic mechanics over and over. could you give an example?
