Ya know, I'm sick of people knocking the Wii saying it's for little kids. I own all three systems, and can tell you that I get just as much "adult entertainment" from my Wii as I do my PS3 or 360. Granted, the games I own for the Wii are all less violent, that doesnt mean it's for kids. Take Mario Galaxy for example. Sure, it's bright, bubbly, and wholesome, but adults can enjoy it too. It's not dumbed-down platformer for kids, it's just a really great platformer. Does it need violence to be for adults? Mario isnt teaching the ABC's, he's trying to save a freaking princess.

Just because Nintendo is kid freindly doesnt mean it's for kids only. What games were you playing growing up? Most people will recall the likes of Mario or Metriod. Do you really think a 7 year old needs to be playing Grand Theft Auto for video game entertainment, or classic, wholesome Mario that alot of us 20+ year old gamers grew up on? Bottom line, kids need Mario just as much as adults need Call of Duty 4. But like I said, just because Nintendo is kid freindly doesnt mean it's for kids only. Not to mention, there are quite a mature titles on the Wii anyway, like RE:UC or NMH.

Alright, so what if the Wii doesnt have the most powerhouse graphics of any system? Who cares? Last gen graphics are still great to look at. Who would go back and play any of the GTA franchises from last gen and claim it makes their eyes hurt? The Wii has great graphics, it's the 3rd party devs who choose not to utilize 'em and end up rushing a crap game that make crap graphics. I'm over the graphics thing anyway, granted, I'm still trying to pick my tongue off the floor from Uncharted Drake's Fortune, but at the same time, I'm enjoying my very first Zelda experince since the NES days just as much, without powerhouse graphics. It just drives me crazy that people want to call the Wii a fad, a weak system, a kiddy system. It's a great system, the nunchuck and Wiimote are sleek, the Wii itsself is sleek. Maybe if the entire system was black it would be taken more serious by hardcore gamers... ? I dunno, but to me the Wii isnt just cute, it's simply bad a$$.

Just because you own all three consoles, doesn't mean you know what your talking about.

It's because 13-17 yr teenagers seem to think that blood and killing makes a game mature, and anything that lacks those traits is "Kiddy", a word that is really only used by kids and teens to begin with.

I agree 100%

Just add that there are also shrek and disney games on other consoles too, and that's gameplay that makes a game good not graphics cause some games are just eyecandy with nothing in it (heavenlysword) or games that after a few weeks aren't interesting anymore, once the OMG effect is over because of the graphs (assassin's creed, and for this one I got caught in the hype).

Well it's "friend codes" and on top of that duh!! What do you want it to be called? It's codes to connect you with friends!

BTW i agree the Wii is actually pretty good when it comes to games and i have yet to even play a "kiddy" game on my Wii nor will i ever because when i buy games i dont look at that, i look at how fun the game looks.

No they cannot just be "turned off" on the 360. I have all the controls turned off, but I still can't download demos that are rated M or RP. Which is a new level of stupid, as I am 17 and can legally buy M rated games, however, Microsoft believes that I should not be able to download M rated demos until I'm 18...

Ignorance and judging the games by how they look are what make people think that the Wii is for kids. It's annoying how many people that haven't even played Mario or Zelda say that these games are for kids and claim that Halo is way better. I have a classmate that thinks that way and he just got a Wii, lol.

Ah, yes. So that's why I see it on about 1,000 other channels than those two. The Wii isnt targetted towards a younger audience, if anything, I'd say it targeted to families. Heck, my 50 something year old boss just got one for Christmas. You've mentioned Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network twice in this thread, I know that is the base of why you think the Wii is a kiddy console, and it's worn thin.

There actually is no way around it, no codes, nothing. It really sucks. Especially considering the fact that I used to be able to download all the demos I wanted too.

Also, yeah, this new policy just showed up recently (which might be why you're unaware of it...).

8) sunglass man dissagrees.....

the wii is targeted towards a younger audience, everyone knows that. almost all the wii commercials are aired on cartoon network and nickelodian.

Ah, yes. So that's why I see it on about 1,000 other channels than those two. The Wii isnt targetted towards a younger audience, if anything, I'd say it targeted to families. Heck, my 50 something year old boss just got one for Christmas. You've mentioned Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network twice in this thread, I know that is the base of why you think the Wii is a kiddy console, and it's worn thin.

i cant find wii commercials on any other channels! plz help me i turn it to a kids station and i see one every commercial brake!

plz tell me one of these 1,000's of other channels so i can check......cmon everyone knows nintendo invests heavily into advertising to kids, wether it be kids magazines, commercials, etc. its not even up for debate.

Well it comes on FX, Fox, Comedy Central, Sci-fi,...should I go on?...

[QUOTE="kenakuma"]

id call microsoft their might be a password u have to put in or something? i got the system when i was 16 and back then i never had any problems with parental controls! unless its part of some new crackdown policy ive noticed recently, whenever i try and buy a m rated game they always card id, now at gamestop. i dont really follow video game legislation so i wouldnt know......

Niff_T

There actually is no way around it, no codes, nothing. It really sucks. Especially considering the fact that I used to be able to download all the demos I wanted too.

Also, yeah, this new policy just showed up recently (which might be why you're unaware of it...).

hey if u buy a m rated game in gamestop now or any where else they card u. maybe its just my state.

Trolling is fun right? Riiiight.

Adult Swim, MTV, Comedy Central are just a few of those other stations you apparently never watch. Like I said, the Wii is kid friendly. Sure, the Wii is advertised in typical child media, but also in adult. My point is simply - it's not a kid-only console like some people say. It's not a kiddy console. That "is not even up for debate".

How was I supposed to know you dont find the Wii kiddy at all? lol.

Ok, let's get this straight...for one, I wasn't insulting you, and second of all he still said it is more focused on children.

He's not saying it's advertised more towards children moron, he's saying it's advertised to all ages.

here we go again :roll:call up their marketing department, altough they advertise towards everyone they tend to focus more on a younger audience. go into a store and ask "whats a great home console for my 8 year old kid?" what answer do you think you'll get?

We've clarified that. That simply makes it KID FRIENDLY not KIDDY. Good grief. That's like saying "Remember the Titans" was a kiddy movie just because it was a good movie for the whole family.
