Conker didn't do too well in America, But this game is one of the greatest ever so why?

Simple Nintendo are seen as a childish company so few adults use the system so there is few people to buy Conker. But if there is few adult Nintendo fans what is this telling us about the future of Nintendo. Well with Resident evil 0 and 4, Turok 4, After Dark, Metroid, Too human and Eternal Darkness are all coming to the Gamecube so that might bring the adult gamers back.

Sony doesn't really have too many adult games but they have a lot of universal ones. A driving game isn't an adult game but it isn't a kiddies game either. But why is Nintendo seen as a kiddies console? Simple reason Cute platformers but I know adults who like platformers and a lot of teenagers who like platformers as well.

It is the image that lets platformers down so Nintendo and Rare made Conker which should show people that they are fun to play and that platformers are universal. So what is a kiddies game? Well Bob the builder, Teletubbies, Tweenies and many more are kiddies games and none of these are on the 64 but on the Playstation!

So Nintendo aren't really a kiddies console and it is about time everyone knows it.

Here's to the future

Why?
Well it was picked up by third party publisher THQ because of Nintendos unwilling stance to publish it. Ensuring a 'third party' price tag of £60 rrp. Rather than £40-45.

Nintendo/Rare: Here u go shops a game for 40 quid.

Shops: Ok i'll make it 50 quid so I can make a profit.

Nintendo/Rare: Here you go THQ a game for 40 quid.

THQ: Thanxs here you go shops, so we can make a profit you can have it for 50 quid!

Shops: Cheers THQ so we can make a profit we will sell it for 60 quid.

It is because THQ are the middle men which raises prices.
