I think the term "Nintendo Games" has different meanings for different people. For those who were part of the PlayStation generation tend to look down on NIntendo's games as kiddy and immature. They look at them in terms of style rather than substance. Or they assume that the substance is lacking because the style isn't to their liking. The more educated gamers who use the term tend to focus more on what many Nintendo games have in common. This usually refers to the emphasis of gameplay over production values, even with games like Zelda and Metroid Prime, the unique cast of cartoony and quirky characters, and Nintendo's marketing towards the younger gamers. Not every Nintendo game fits this mold perfectly, but Nintendo's games do tend to stand out in both a positive and negative way depending on who you are.
