Need I remind people that just because a game is not intended for YOU does not make it a bad game.

Is leapster "bad" because its intended market is children?

Is a Hannah Montanna game 'bad' solely because she herself is a no talent hack?

No, if the target demographic enjoys the game, then its a good game. Period. Your opinions do not dictate quality.

I think people are really bashing Nintendo this gen because the games tend to take away some of the edge players get from having played games for decades. Hence all the whining about the Wii Wheel in MK.

"I personallly can't control a kart with this wheel as well as I can a tiny stick, therefore its BAD!" Nonsense. Someone who never played with an analog stick would do MUCH better with a wheel. Your ingrained control mechanisms are not necesarily the best. That makes wii scary to players who like to swing their virtual fallace around by beating other people at games, then calling them a n00b. Suddenly individuals with likes outside a TV or PC Screen are being competative, and as a result we get to hear all the whining of how 'easy' these games are.

I was going to say something about a few of the points on your post ..... but then i noticed that your full post was remarkable that i just had to highlight it completely  =D
