When people complain about games that aren't "quite their type" I get really fed up. If a game plays well and you enjoy playing it, regardless of what it's based on, that should be enough.
Take a wrestling game for example, errr, No Mercy. It's a great game, it's fun to play has loads and loads of options, and is quite challenging. But people avoid it because it's wrestling. If it's a decent game then WHO CARES WHAT IT'S BASED ON???
So what you may not like wrestling, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great game. It's the same with Nintendos image. Everyones starting to jump ship to the PSX because it's got a more "Hardcore" image. Nintendos systems do tend to have a lot of cute'n'cuddly games aimed at younger audiences on then and that tends to put gamers off. I don't think you should call yourselves hardcore gamers if you get put off a product by what it's based on.
At the end of the day would you rather have a rubbish shoot-em-up that had great graphics that tried to cover the fact that people would have more fun prodding a used teabag than playing it, or a well thought out, amazingly fun game that happened to have a childish theme? I know which one I'd choose...

I totally agree with Rasta, except with the part about the genre but, I mean I hate puzzle games I think they are a waste of a cartridge...OR CD! I think that Banjo and Conker and Mario...games like that are more fun to play where, I think I would rather prod a cold used tea bag that get in to a game of Bust-A-Move!

My 7 year old loves Barbie Race and Ride. She plays nothing else. Great graphics and gameplay, she says.

Answer: Yes it does matter what genre you prefer.
