Nintendo have a childish image, there is no question about that. Everyone who owns a PS2 or X-Box know that and uses it to torment the owners of every 'Cube owner in exsistance, but the question is if the GameCube is for children.

Games like Mario and Pokemon do nothing to kill the image, and if Nintendo are trying to get rid of this preconcieved idea with these games, they are creating a rod for their own back. Games full of bright colours and cute characters aren't really 'adult' are they?

But many people think that a game needs to be full of dark, dingy alleyways and full of crimson liquid to be suitable for a mature audience. Mario games often provide much more of a challenge than a 'survival horor game. Remember 'Mario 64'? that was one of the hardest games on the planet but many people still thought it was for kids.

I personally think that Nintendo and the GameCube is not for a younger audience, but it is just for gamers in general, but it isn't what I think that is mportant, it is what YOU think. Is the 'cube for kids or do you know that any true gamer can enjoy it.

ok look at turok does that say childish to you? pokemon is meant for the younger audience and if people enjoy playing them fine its up 2 them it doesnt matter about the image of the console its the game play and if u enjoy playing the games. i have an x box and a ps2 and some of there games are childish alike the game cube but gamecube is far superior it will last longer as nintendos generally do smally and un like the xbox wont house a small family its just a quality console and nintendo have been making the best consoles for years.

Yes gamecube is childish.







and great family fun all the way.

I think people who say its childish are usaully saying it becuase they wet their pants looking at the enternal darkness box, so scary/adult games arnt seen by them so unheard of.

*decides to find the school hes going to and bribe it.
