Was in GAME today and overheard this conversation between a mum, her kid and the 'drip' member of staff.
Mum - "I want to get a GBA for my son, which game is best"?
Drip - "What sort of game do you want"?
Mum - "I thought computer games were for boys".
Drip - "My future wife loves watching me play". (dump him now love)!
Mum - "Its for my son"
Drip (to son) - "How old are you"?
Son (looking horrified) - "Ten"
Drip - "Oh, you're the ideal age. You are who Nintendo aim their games at"!
Mum - "Oh thats good"
Me - Thumps drip, walks off, boycotts GAME for another month!

Its not a mature console by any strech of the imagination, there are alot of youthful games on the GC but i dont have any problem with that at all, it is a shame that some people do cos they are missing out on some great games and a top console to boot.

Never heard a ninty say that cartoon style characters don't give Nintendo a kiddy image. It's obvious it does.
The rest is true mind.

ALASTAIR PLEASE CHILLLLLLLLLLL! As you say it's only a forum.
He has a point that over 19's don't really worry about the demographic of the console... although to say they don't own an X-box because they've grown out of needing to feel mature is wrong.
You never grow out of that, immature is a 17 - 35 year olds favourite insult.
