Nintendo have a problem. The childish image of the company (although their games aren’t as childish as many make out) needs to be altered in order to suit the older gamer and they need to do it now so the launch of the Gamecube can be a huge success.
The problem Nintendo face when changing their image though is the younger gamer. The way Nintendo are viewed by parents are the Disney of computer games and that the system is safe for their kids to play on. Now if Nintendo alter their image to suit older gamers then they may lose the younger market.
Nintendo need to find a way to aim at both markets and discouraging neither of them. Simply making adult games doesn’t seem to work especially after the uproar created by the release of Conker. So what can Nintendo do? They could try advertising childish games during childish shows etc… and adult games during adult programs but then parents might be discouraged.
So what can Nintendo do? They are releasing adult games on the Gamecube such as Too Human, Eternal Darkness, Turok 4, After Dark, Conker’s other bad day, Resident evil 0 and 4 and possibly Shadowman 2econd coming. Nintendo have a difficult job to do but what do you think they need to do?

Nintendo should bring out the Gamecube in bright primary colours (that blur a bit if you look at it too long) for the kiddies.
And bring out another Gamecube with a big X slapped on it so that people would know that it was for the over 18s.
Bill Gates would just love that...

I'm not saying that Nintendo aren't aiming at both but unfortunatly Because of perhaps pokmon older gamers are not willing to be apart of nintendo and adult games are worrying parents who have always relied on Nintendo.
Immature Nintys do burn well Nintendo is Simon went up in seconds...
Which was a shame because i was hoping for a long evening of entertainment

I beg to differ, immature Ninty's burn far quicker. Flaming them is easy, you see.
If you were makijg money doing one thing (like Nintendo) would you cancel that thing all together! NO YOU WOULDN'T. Nintendo are now trying to get both the adult and child audience, back off! Just think about the money!
LOL
Good idea but...
the immature Nintys are better than a mature PS owner (well some of them)

Kill all the immature Nintys. No other choice.
