It actually makes sense for both Ubisoft and Nintendo! Nintendo won't have to do these kind of kiddy games any more, so they can focus on more hardcore titles (and NintendoLand) while Ubisoft can have a piece of the cake!

I believe you have failed to understand how Nintendo works. They make what they make becaust they want to, not because of what others are doing. If there were a hundred such game on the system(which was the case on the Wii), they would still release their version.

I think you failed to grasp what I was getting at. I know full well that Nintendoes what Nintendoes. The Wii is a great example of that. What I meant is that Nintendo obviously is trying to move away from the kiddy image they've gotten among the core players; they're trying to shift their focus to a more mature, darker and grittier line of games to attract all of those who's sitting with their PS360 complaining about how the Wii is for kids. Releasing yet another Wii Sports game wouldn't benifit their goal in a more "hard core" image, however - would someone else publish such a game that would benifit Nintendo as that title might draw in the casuals (that they're trying to get as well).

Nintendo's image has always been family oriented. This has never changed. It was only with the last gen that people tried to apply the image of kiddy and causual to them.

Nintendo isn't really doing anything different than what they have always done. They make innovations and then build on what they already have. There is no shift or movement away from anything. They are simply building on top of their already established foundations.

The term casual itself is something i've always viewed as a joke and an insult created to write off Nintendo's success last gen. The general rhetoric is that NIntendo has acquired this "new found" audience called casuals and that is why they are successful , but they have found nothing. Those are traditional gamers as they always were. They are the same people who bought the Atari, NES and SEGA Genesis who made gaming what it is today. Now they are called casual gamers and looked at with contempt as if they are some new age abnormality that came out of nowhere. It has never made sense to me.

Nintendo has always marketed there console as being for everyone. Not casuals, not kids, no core gamers. Everyone.

I would call these games fun, not kiddy. :P
