Here's an anecdote of my experience yesterday, because why not. Unrelated to the rest of the thread but whatever, I don't share the same sentiments as OP anyway, or at least, I don't actually care. But I digress.

Continuing on, I know that's what the usual conclusion of people is; Nintendo is for kids, the others for 'mature' people, but yesterday I feel like it was the opposite. I was in a game store casually browsing all the shelves, when a ten(-ish) year old girl with her mom walked in. Her mom was like: "Look, Super Mario Maker, you can make your own Mario game with this." The child said: "But it's for Wii U, I only have a regular Wii." Mom responded: "Oh, so do you then want a Wii U or an XBox in your room?" The child said after some hesitation: "Uhm, the XBox."

Moments later, a group of 20-something year old guys walk in. At a glance you could even say they were 'dudebros'. One of them was like: "Hey, Super Mario Maker!" While another responded: "That's actually pretty damn cool yo." [sic]

None of these people actually bought anything one way or another though, and the industry, for a day, lost five customers...

I think Nintendo should market its games to that people, people who were born with their games and enjoyed them and look for the nostalgia factor.

That would be targeting me. I have 20 Nintendo systems. Not to metion loads of other stuff. And everyone knows were I stand now with the company. If they can lose me, forget a lot of other people.
