Someone here is complicating things... -.-
I have a friend who studied Japanese for 7 years already and he says he is more inclined to say the first sentence is right "Targeting children isn't enough".
"I've Underestimated the Horse Power from Mario Kart 8, I'll Never Doubt the WiiU's Engine Again"
my sister is a student japanese teacher and the first one sound more correct
Thank God nintendo is including a 27 year old gamer like me in their thought process
i think gaming is a hobby that should penetrate all age groups and not just be for children or "kiddy".

So because the ambiguous translation does not reflect your agenda it makes gaming journalism pathetic? Why can't you simply agree that without the proper context both statements are correct.
It's clear there's confusion even with a translation, let's just wait for clarification from Iwata himself before jumping to conclusions.

For better or worse Iwata's proven time and time again he does not think like the rest. Even if it's unlikely he said that, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume he did. Again why not simply wait for clarification before going after people ?

I'm not basing my belief that gaming journalism sucks on this specific instance alone. They have an absolutely woeful track record of sensationalist clickbait, fanboy pandering, and badly researched material that makes celebrity tabloids look professional.

Gaming journalism sucks and has played its own part in the Wii U downfall, Nintendo have made mistakes but the way they have been treated by so called professionals in the industry is sad.
What the fuck do these people use as a translator? Fucking Google Translate? Idiots, Idiots everywhere...

This seems pretty conclusive that it's "We're not targeting children enough".
