Nintendo will stay kiddy even if they make a dozen of FPS and other M rated games. As long as they continue with Mario and other franchises, they will be called kiddy.

Unless they make that realistic Mario............

Great points. I agree that even if all of Nintendo's games were rated M except for one, then they'd still have the 'kiddy' console. It's funny considering the appeal the Wii has for seniors.

i still play yoshi's island...i love the music(the most), gameplay and graphics.a perfect game



One thing I have noticed is that Nintendo is the most consistent large publisher/developer in the world ... Although not all of their games are fantastic, the vast majority of their games are average or better (with most being good or better) and a below-average (or worse) game is a very rare exception.

Is it bad that Yoshi's Story is my most hated game of all time? Yoshi's Island was a masterpiece!

Yes it is

 

In that case, I apologize very much and hope that you will not kill me.

I was thinking about this one when I said it, but that's fine too.

I've been a fan of Nintendo since the NES days but there are just some other things that "come with the package."

1.) Nintendo's console will always be deemed the kiddy console.  There's no way around it.  Unless Nintendo hires American Developers into their first party ranks to develop a bunch of FPS's, it's not going to change.  It's been like this since the Genesis became popular so I'm over it.

2.) Nintendo's console will always be at a reasonable price.  Say what you want about Wii hardware but at least it wasn't launched at $600.  I'm sure that if 2160p graphics can be produced on a console at $200 next gen, the Wii's successor will have it.

3.) Nintendo will always find a way to make something with an obsurd name sell well.  Look at Pokemon.. I can't begin to tell you how many times someone has used Poke-a-man to insult my Pokemon fandom but Blue/Red/Green have sold more units than anything that's not Super Mario Bros.  Also look at Pikmin, Nintendogs, Wii Sports, The Wii itself, etc.

4.) Nintendo fans always find reasons to bitch.  I'm sorry but they do.  I mean anyone remember Yoshi's Story, probably the most childish looking game ever and it was great.  Also Wind Waker.. Cel-Shaded but still one of the most epic Zelda's.  These are just examples but I don't even want to go into Wii Fit or Wii Music.

5.) Despite people says that Nintendo "releases the same damn games,"  They will have some quality IP's every gen.  The SNES had Starfox, for example. The Gamecube had Pikmin.

6.) There will always to a new Mario IP every new console.  The SNES had Mario Paint and Super Mario Kart.  The N64 had Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Paper Mario.  The Gamecube had DDR Mario Mix, Mario Baseball and Mario Strikers.  I can't for the next ones, personally.  I'm sure there are more, I just haven't listed them.

I'm glad I got this out of the way.  If you don't mind, I'm going to give my Wii some playtime.

you know with the N64 they came very close to growing up with the gamers of my generation i remember talking about it durring lunch in middle school back in the day, it didnt go over as well as they would have liked, then the cube derailed that. the wii, is a different path entirely i could see them growing up, but it will be with another console in the future, though they may just stay in the younger gamer area. no problem with that....

 

im far more interested if they will ever take the hand-helds they make to 3d, so far all handhelds have been designed mainly for 2d control (looking angerly at my psps one nub) i think they could storm that market with a true ds fallow up that is as powerfull as the wii, it wouldnt be a streach the chip is low power enough, it could even be die shrunk again, or gpu/cpu same chip with the respective age and development on both taken into account

I think this is the problem many people had with Yoshi's Story, me included, they were expecting a sequal of sorts to "Island" and it just wasn't.  Yoshi's Story may have been a good game in it's own right but i for one never gave it a chance.
