nintendo are'nt doing wery well changing their image, and they arent really helping themselves. hold Z down on gamecube boot up and their will be squeaky noise and laghter? please, is this neccacary? luigi's mansion could be a bit more sereous, and far more gory. god, is there any wonder why they have a kids image.

secondly, they have very few games for the gamecube that aren't ports from dreamcast or PS2. as does the game boy advance, cept' with snes games

The sale figures of the Gamecube indicate that no-one is bothered how not Gory Luigi's mansion is or why the secret laughter happens when you press Z, Nintendo are just making games which are fun and easy play, and if that means having childish games let it be. I'm not bothered really, if someone says isn't Gamecube childish {i have heard this quite a few times} i just say well your missing out. If you want Adult games wait a little longer and Resident Evil is out which has to be the most scariest and gory game i have ever seen, that will soon show you that Nintendo mean EVERYONE can play the Cube and not just a catorgory of children under the age of 15. :)

I don't think Ninty really have to change their image that much, if not at all. They are doing fine the way they are, and it would be a shame if they changed it. Still, I do see your point.

nintendo can't really change their image, as they are primarily a japanese company, and in japan, they are primarily a childrens manufacturer. this means that they can have adult adverts over here, but games coming out of japan which are made by nintendo will primarily be for children, as that who makes up their mass amrket. if they can appeal to this market, then why not, after all, they only want to mae money, and the xbox and ps2 don't appeal to under under 12s. i thin kthat if nintendo want to get rid of their kiddy image (which could be a bad thing) they should just not have any qualms about releasing adult games. for instance: the rare dispute about suggestive themes. nintendo need to understamd how to be more free and easy with their games acceptance. it may be to do with mario club being the primary tester for all gamecube games. mario club (a japanese testers association, unique to nintendo) don't like western themed games, like FPSs, and it is generally these games which are considered 'adult'

Nintendo are still trying to seem more adult but some still see Nintendo with a Kiddy image...

But, with these sales, many people have looked past that and realised that Nintendo are growing more adult with better games and a sliker look.
