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?
