Nintendo fans must desperately try to understand two concepts.
Those arent so hard .Just try it a bit.

1.Not everybody is interested in playing mascot-based games with basic colours all their life.It just doesnt appeal to everybody.Its not a question of the playability of the game being deep or not.Nintendo games have usually been quite deep,specially Miyamoto ones.But this kind of aesthetic and plot offering just receives some kind of repulsion by a good chunk of the core and hardcore adult gamers.

Not all of nintendos Ips are mascot based. Metroid for example barely has any other characters  than samus, and you know very little about her. Earthbound has had many main characters throughout the years. Fire Emblem the same. Not all of nintendos Ips are colors and simplistic.

2.Some gamers ,and humanity in general,like to hear good stories.If you can play them is better still.And if you can play them with the highest graphic and sound quality possible that is the deal for many core and hardcore gamers.Nintendo doesnt offer anything as a story for its games just Mario saving Peach and battling Bowser or Link rescuing Zelda or Mario running karts over and over.

If you ever played a zelda game you would know it's much more than saving the princess. That might be the basis , but each game has a large complex story by itself, and it's so complex that it splits into many timelines, and the official chronological order of the games is yet unknown. SInce when had racers or sport games had stories. I do agree though with mario the story is very weak.

And finally and adding 1 and 2:when someone says you that he prefers "adult" games its not that he wants to kill people and beat prostitutes up.Thats only the stereotype you want to make of them.Its ,more usually than not ,some player for wich the reality-esthetics-plot and depht of the storyline means something,prefers something more realistic and akin to what reality would be like ... and just doesnt want to play over and over the mascot rescuing the princess or playing sports.They can do it once upon a time,I usually enjoy the Zelda series for example (although the repetition is getting tiresome from OOT to Tp nothing has changed),but that cant be their main console or entertaintment option. I do believe your are correct about zelda not changing much, but nintendo already promised a change in the next one. Yet again not all nintendo games are the mascot rescueing the princess.

Well ,those intelligent will get these.The other ,not so intelligent (Neos ,NJ5 .. resuming the usual suspects ) will just post some fake thing they made up or better found around the internet.They just only seem to care that Nintendo sells the most and that no one can disagree in the quality of Nintendo offerings by trying to spin-contort-twist the others words.I really don't think you should bash peoples intelligence.
