I came across this in a post from GT and I will just leave it here.

"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."

LOL how did gamers distinguish PS1 PS2 and PS3? By the number. Wii adds a U to the end. If people are that dumb that they can't tell the console is different then let the MIAMI zombie apocalypse be true.

Man if they showed a new console Starfox by EAD I would just about crap my pants with excitement

What/who is G4?
never heard of them

I stopped reading at 'The general consumer are too stupid to work out that the WiiU is different to the Wii, much as the PS2 and iphone2 both failed because consumers didn't realise they were new products.

You know what it isn't their fault that Nintendo has made itself into a virtual pariah in mainstream gaming circles. The truth is that G4 is a network for gamers, and the vast majority of gamers couldn't be bothered to give a shit about Nintendo. They don't own the consoles, and hold a generally dim view of the company. To be honest they are just reflecting the views of their audience. Which is that Nintendo is not only outclassed, but entirely antiquated. Which means it is the stuff of jokes.

Nintendo does deserve these barbs, because for the most part they are true. Nintendo doesn't generate a mature library, and before anyone gives me some argument that mature means shlock. Mature simply means a game that is made for adults to play, and that doesn't just equal out to gratuitous sex and violence. It applies to things like the contents of a story, or the way characters interact.

Nintendo does dial in uninspired reiterations of the previous generations games. The innovation is damned near nonexistent, and it shows in their presentations. They don't talk up the game, because there really isn't anything new to get really excited about. Hell even as their latest console slipped into the domain of purely being a toy. They didn't take any bold moves to change that. So now they are looked at as a toy company rather then as a serious player.

You gotta understand that Nintendo doesn't get any respect, because it doesn't deserve respect. Nobody expects a great turn around from Nintendo. The reason being that these same complaints have been thrown at Nintendo for over a decade, and it still hasn't seemed to have sunken in for Nintendo. They can't do the things that they have been doing, and be taken as credible. How can anyone be expected to have a fire in their belly for Nintendo. When Nintendo doesn't seem to have a fire in its own.

Mediocrity gets ignored, and disparaged.

Yeah and that's probably why it kicked the hell out of MS and Sony's asses this gen. Man, you really sound like a troll...maybe G4 will hire you!

Nonsense. Maturity has nothing to do with narrative, it's a matter of craft. This is a medium where narrative isn't necessary in the first place, and some of the more "mature" games of all time play at the idea of having no particular narrative at all.

It's not really possible to qualify "mature" in a way that isn't inherently fallacious or doomed to highlight how untenable the stance is.

Well i used to watch g4 all the time but slowly ifound myself not watching the channel anymore. Not that its a quality channel like it used to be. All they have is Morgan Webb and Xplay keeping g4 from tanking completely,

I'm pretty sure that was their main marketing point.  A console the whole family (including adults) can play.
