Clazon, do you think you're proving something by avoiding games such as Mario Sunshine on the grounds that they're 'kiddy'? As Satoru Iwata quite adequately put it, "you'll never see Mario shooting hookers", but that isn't to say anyone over the age of 12 should avoid the game. Nintendo games have always been about fun, for people of all ages - I've grown up loving them. I would also advise you to play the game or console extensively before formulating an opinion.
A good example for this is Gamespot's review for Conflict Desert Storm where they handed it 4.8/10 and basically said avoid at all costs. I for one am a big fan of CDS and I know others on here are too. I uaed to trust reviewers from big companies as I used to think they knew what they were talking about. Since getting my Cube back in January all has changed and I do not think their reasons are any more valid than the average joe bloggs. Some people are yet to see the same reasoning.

That's a good point. I really can't enjoy Shenmue II - I find it dull and tedious. However, I can appreciate the attention to detail, depth and passion that's gone into and therefore do not think of it as a crap game.
I expect it's the same with you and Metroid Prime.

Oh and whats Kiddy about Mario? Its a fun and very difficult platform game at times. The finest platform game you will find on next generation consoles. Makes me laugh how you mix up kiddy games with "fun" games.
Wave Race is a solid racing game which is great fun to play. The Super Monkey Ball games are great multiplayer titles with surprisngly addictive single player, not to mention original. Pikmin is the only strategy game which I have actually enjoyed on a console. Highly addictive and superbly executed in an original and quirky way. More of these games should hit the shelves yet Nintendo can't fight this battle on their own despite being the only company able to pull of such a title.
