What? Nintendo was considered kiddie the moment Sega of America decided to run their adds. Take a look at the commercials if you weren't gaming back then. During the PS1/N64 years, nothing was considered more kiddie than the N64 and Nintendo. It only got worse with the Gamecube.

Nintendo has always been a "kids" thing, even during the NES years. The only difference was that there was no other competition marketing a console for young adults at the time so it was never an issue.

Personally, I don't give a damn. I liked my NES in the 80's and I like my Wii-U now, in my mid 30's. But, yeah, they've never NOT been kiddie.

 I know that was their image, but Nintendo fans like myself knew otherwise. The offering of games just felt more varied and better back in those days. Nintendo doesn't have a Perfect Dark or Goldeneye or Turok anymore that helps spice up their library. Nowadays, it just seems like they plaster Mario and Pikachu's face all over the place and that's it. 

Also, I pretty much started gaming with the N64.

Yeah, their library was alot more diverse. 100% agree there.
