"Because we are making a game for a Nintendo platform, the users are younger, so one option was to produce a high-quality, appealing title aimed squarely at this market."
Well, well, well, top industry person agrees with this controversial view.
All stubborn argumentative abuse will be forwarded to Toshihiro Nagoshi, president, Amusement Vision, Creator of Super Monkey Ball.
:P

I should really try looking at the other posts more rather than glance.

Na, don't bother. Only if the posts are really short. That's what I do, anyway.
Nintendo don't AIM at kids.
They aim at gamers.
Mario, Zelda and Smash Brothers all examples of games that might be cartoony and player friendly (so they can't be adult) but are still challenging and have depth beyond most kids (so they can't be simply kiddies games).
They are gamers games. Games that anyone can get into, while the more experienced hardcore gamers can still get the long challenging games they ask for.
Sure, games like Mario Party are so simple that you might label them as "kiddie games" (I still like it but I know many people don't).
And there's others like Perfect Dark which is pretty much an adult game, purely because its mostly too hard for most "kiddies".
Personally, I think that Nintendo are the only company who aim for the balance.
As for what Toshihiro Nagoshi said, I'd have a go at him if Monkey Ball wasn't looking so great!
