I do not get why their is this hate of any Nintendo system as being "kiddy".
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I think some of you guys overreact when people say nintendo's demographics is children.Those that call it kiddy aren't comfortable with their own level of maturity.

Yup, and I'm one of them. When it comes down to it, we're all playing in some fantasy world as if we were playing in our backyards (ie every game is kiddy). Just because the image is different doesn't suddenly make certain games "mature". Playing Call of Duty is like playing cowboys and indians. There's nothing wrong with being kiddy, we're all having fun.
Because they are aimed at kids despite what you may think. Being aimed at kids doesn't mean adults can't enjoy it as the DS certainly has more adult oriented titles, but that doesn't change the fact that the demograph is indeed children.
Friend Codes is the easiest way to see that.
People call Nintendo games kiddy for multiple reasons because they're insecure in their own maturity so they refuse to lower themselves to playing games that are rated E and they don't understand what E rated means.
People who think ninty games are too "kiddy" to be considered good need to do a few things...
1. Go play Majora's Mask and Super Metroid.
2. Get your head out of your ass.
3. Play some Pokemon and you may be forgiven.

If you've seen any adults playing the Wii U then either you are lying or you can travel to the future.

I think he means E3.
That still doesn't qualify.The Wii U didn't even really exist at E3, it was concept hardware.I'm not saying that adults don't want to play the Wii U, Just that his point could have been made without it.
Also I'm really tired of hearing Nintendo fans crying because someone thinks their games are kiddy. And no, it doesn't make you more mature because you think Mario is cool, just as it doesn't make some dumbass mature because he likes M rated games. The entire argument is dumb.
pretending for a second that we are not talking about all the adult women with wii fit and all the adult casuals with there casual games. I'm 23 and i own all the nintendo consoles. People that hate on it and call it kiddy are just kids that wish they were adults and think that by distancing themselves from anything childish makes them look more mature.
(it actually makes you look like a kid to actual adults).
I love how sheep cry when their games get called "kiddy", but then they turn around and call all of the PS3's exclusives "Movies".

Ninty makes stuff everyone, but all the haters just want to moan and **** about Nintendo not being Hardcore. MS isn't being Hardcore right now and I don't see people complaining about the Kinect.
That is funny- I have never seen an adult play a Wii-U because it isn't out yet nor is the final design,

Just because adults enjoy those systems (barring the Wii U) doesn't mean the intended audience isn't kids. Disney and Pixar movies are certainly still enjoyable but I know who the target audience is.
There are two extremes to the concept of Nintendo and the mature content of their games (or rather the lack of). One side is the pre-teen/teen/young adult group who wants to be seen as mature. The other is the child stuck in a man's body phenomenon who are a bit overly sensitive when it comes to the insults. In my eyes neither group is mature.
Of course gaming in general from a non-gamer's perspective is seen as kiddy and immature whether you play Super Mario or The Witcher 2.

I agree with this 100%, it really is this way to be honest. I think both have had their fair share of criticism.Just because adults enjoy those systems (barring the Wii U) doesn't mean the intended audience isn't kids. Disney and Pixar movies are certainly still enjoyable but I know who the target audience is.
