I can't believe people are still doing the "Nintendo = kiddie" argument in 2014.
There's a big difference between Teletubbies, which clearly doesn't aim for a level of intelligence above what you'd expect for five-year-olds, and Nintendo's first-party content, which requires a much greater skill level than kids can generally manage.
One of my friends picked up a Wii U recently to play with his son. His son loves things like Super Mario 3D World but, being about six, he's not able to finish the game (pretty sure my friend told me he's made it to world 3 or thereabouts). That doesn't mean he can't enjoy it. It can also be enjoyed by people like his dad or myself, who are in our 30s and love the challenge of the later levels. Neither of us would have any interest in Teletubbies.

lol. I used teletubbies as an example. Didn't mean that as a insult to anyone. I could of used My little pony as another example. haha My point is that the majority of nintendo's games are designed for kids. I don't know why some people find that offensive to hear that. I never said anything about an adult not being able to enjoy those games. Like I mentioned several times, it's fine if you like that type of game. To each their own or whatever floats your boat. |
Unless you have any statistical evidence to back up your claim you're just assuming things. One's perception is often different than reality.
And I know for a fact that a lot of kids play adult games because they think it makes them cool. Don't you remember your own childhood, lol?
I wouldn't be surprised if the average age of Nintendo fans was higher than the demographic of XBONE/PS4.
C.S. Lewis said it best:
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
