I don't know if you understand but Miyamoto is talking about  new customers and new kids, new generation of fans that are playing on smartphones. They're not saying we are gonna make games just for kids. Miyamoto is literally saying that super mario run is being made with that purpose. If you think Nintendo games are for kids then that's your personal opinion.

Generally speaking, that's the demographic they go for. That and 'nostalgia' which plays into your 'younger' memories of Nintendo. It's not controversial to say this, it's a well understood fact. There's nothing wrong with aiming at a younger demographic, I love games like LBP and RAC, but like I said, it would make more sense to broaden the appeal, not cement it even further.

That's a perspective, I don't see colors and cuteness as something for kids, I see it as something for everyone. A 5 year old and a 30 year old could play pikmin, mario and zelda and have the same amount of fun. If pixar make movies for everyone, why Nintendo games are considered for kids? I think that's a stigma from the 90. When Sony or MS develop a game with color, it's not for kids, it's considered different. Another example,Yooka-laylee, everybody want that game I don't see anyone saying "omg a game for kids" why? because it's a game for everyone. should Nintendo make more games like zelda and metroid? I agree, but even those games are for everyone.
