Nintendo=casual, light games that don't have a lot of story depth

Xenoblade. ;)

The exception that proves the rule, thanks:)  Besides that isn't even out yet. A vast majority of Nintendo games are games you can sit down and have a blast with for a short period of time. Nothing wrong with that, just the truth. Although Nintendo did say they wanted to win back more of the core audience so maybe we will see that change. The common perception right now though is that Nintendo is the more casual of the three, just like X1 is more for fps and competitive gaming and the PS4 is the all around go to system, no need to be upset by that.

Oh there's more exceptions than just Xenoblade, there's also Metroid, Zelda, Pikmin, etc. These games are intimidating to casuals because they are not as easy or "pick-up-and-play" as Mario Kart and co.

Yes, Nintendo places a lot of emphasis on making accessible games for all ages, I don't think anyone would dispute that, but to rule that that's what defines a Nintendo game is a gross generalization.
