now dont blame me if I got this a bit wrong, I may have mis-translated it from Japanese.
"Look at the games I have produces so far for the Gamecube. Can you not see that they are aimed at a certain audience? Look at pikmin, at Luigi's mansion - these are not difficult or complex games, you know this you've played them. Look at what else is coming, look at Link's evolution, at the way Mario looks, hardly gritty, is it?
What I'm trying to say is that the Gamecube will not be a console for everyone. In fact we are working on very few games that will challenge the more experienced gamer, the Playstation2 is more geared towards them.
The Gamecube is a fascinating piece of hardware, and we are all very proud of it, but please, it won't be for you if you want blood and guts, we don't want to alienate our main target audience, the young teens, and pre-teens."
So there you have it, straight from the horses mouth. The Gamecube IS geared towards a younger audience. If you want to read it yourself it's on www.nintendo.jp but it's in Japanese.
It's quite obvious that there's a problem between some of the top people at Nintendo, with Shigeru Miyamoto making this statement as the rest of the company are trying to suck in older gamers with the likes of Resident Evil.
What do you think of this statement?

Meet at the usual place 6.15 set off for a ride up the pike, Winter Hill & down the back side & maybe more.
Your read Japanease?
Okay if you say so, but the fact is that Pikmin is a complex game, it's just got cartoony graphics. Think one of them real time combat games with cute characters.

What he meant to say was:
Gamecube will be good.
I apologise for Lylat Wars, I feel ashamed.
Look at that mental pic that Grix posted and understand that is how I feel inside as well.
Please forgive me for Lylat Wars, I was mashed out of my tree on monkey juice.

Heh, I agree with Wookie, 'ere. Smells like a red herring to me, eh!
Nope, can't say that it sounds like what Shigsy would say to be honest, and if he DID say something along those lines, I can guarantee that it will have a heavy mention in NGC magazine. So, until then, me 'arties, I'm believing nothnin'!
:D
SHOCKY

But surely the 3rd parties will get the message. What's the point in developing mature titles when Nintendo themselves have said they don't want them?

Well, he's only confirming what we all really know.
