"kiddy why is nintendo considered a kids game console"

why does nintendo have a kiddy image i dont know why it does do you ? i personly dont think they have a childish game on them how can you consider it kiddy with games such as resident evil and turok . Or is it because the ps2 has what is known as ;mature games; like grand theft auto 3 and smack down 3 but why should they be considered so adult is it because the ps2 is so well known but the ps2 titles which arent really mature get labelled mature because of the ps2 so called coolness and a catchy slogan. Medal of honor for instants isnt really gory but gets talked about as though its a murder game where you go round killing people with rabid bees.Is nintendo thought to be childish due to the lack of racing games,wrestling games,and football games or is it because of pikachu and his pals at first everyone loved them but as time went on they were thought to be lame .I think its because of the bright colors they use in games which everyone loves its nintendo magic but a some of people hate it they love only games whith dark backgrounds which isnt nintendos style because they produce lush backgrounds whith detailed characters i think it isnt a babyish console so any one who does just hasnt played it so makem read this

I'm looking forward to Mary Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 soooo much. How can you say it's kiddy. Adults love to organise their timetable in princess pink and get makeup tips and read bios of these two great role-models.

So because something's original and fun, and children play it, it's deemed a kiddy game? I know plenty of 14+ yr olds that play those games.

These aren't Nintendo games though, and there are more 'kiddy' PS2 games anyway.

Pikmin isn't cute an cuddly. Pikmin's a tough real time strategy game, and Pokemon's a renowned RPG.

Yes, but Nintendo don't have one 'kiddy' game.

Well said! however don't knock PS2's because i like them to ;)

who cares, if ppl call it a kids console, and dont buy it cos of this, then their the ones missing out, and in the cold cold light of day, they can keep their blocky, slow, polygon ps2's and over priced, over sized, over rated x boxes, and i'll keep my cube!!!!!!!

Many people may have bought an N64 for that but how many children begged and pleaded with there parent's to get it for Pokemon stadium (1 and 2) pokemon snap etc these games couldn't be less childish if the invented the pikachu dancing mat game!

I know Zelda isn't a kiddy-game. I'm using the term 'kiddy' to make this guy understand that's all.

Zelda isn't a kiddy game either! The previous versions weren't, and jut because this one is cell-shaded it still isn't. I know SO many people over 20 who bought ana N64 and loved Zelda, some even bought it just for those two games.

And don't forget theres bound to be a Conker sequel.
