Seriously

You think if Sony had a Pokemon Franchise, handheld and console, game cards, tv show, toys, etc you think they wouldnt cherish that franchise?

You think if Microsoft had a platformer like Mario, that is a character that can do NES-SNES-64-GAMECUBE...then whatever zany controller is made they can make a game around him to work for it?

Mario yes milked, but he can bring any game into -the spotlight- and sell millions of copies, whether its DDR, GOLF, TENNIS, KART, BASEBALL [all of which would rock on the Wii especially tennis and kart]

Nintendo appeals to casuals, and hardcore but they OWN the childrens market, and that is some serious $$$$$$, hence the DS making so much profits and GB SP still STILL flying off shelves!

so why should Nintendo try to make its image change?!?! its already dominating young gamers, giving them memorys and introducing them to gaming....when those exact gamers get old you know they going to move onto 360 and ps3, so they need to be grateful!

nintendo shouldn't deface that fact they should embrace it!!!!

and wii is soooooo loved by parents and girls especially so that is nintendos sucess and profits!

the rest are just envious! end of story.

if microsoft was offered the rights to luigi or kirby they would so take it!

I don't think nintendo needs to change its image. I like it being a family friendly friendly company. It's like the disney of videogames. That doesn't mean nitnendo's hardware can't support mature titles without losing it's family friendly image. Their family friendly image belongs to their 1st party software. Their hardware (the wii) has a separate image.

I'm 23 btw and I have no problem with nintendo's current image.

I dig the image Nintendo has crafted itself over the years. Maybe some day I'll get a Wii. My SNES is not very current anymore :)

Disney isnt stupid...they bought a studio....MIRAMAX....[which has a stellar resume of filmes, mature etc...very un-disney] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramax_Films Disney = CARS NEMO etc...family movies but their other division does more serious adult themed movies. Nintendo can easily create a 2nd party studio dedicated to mature, violent games.... but they will let/pay 3rd party to do as they please Eternal Darkness, RE4, Killer7....soon Godfather, Scarface etc... but Nintendo needs its own M-rated game.

And with that a very mature game will be hitting the Wii console soon. Manhunt 2.

I'm surprised they're haven't been any cows or lemmings trying (and failing) to prove otherwise. Very well said arguments, everyone. I doubt the fanboys will listen though. :(

Nintendo does not need change, it just needs things to be added.

Plus, how is Mario milked if you are not forced to buy it?

Nintendo is viewed as kiddy cause its the general publics preception of them. Let me ask you a question. When a parent is ready to purchase their very young child a game console, whats the first thing that pops in their head? It's Nintendo, its their image, why does that bother so many people. You know many gamers like to play Nintendo products because they are fun and make them feel like a kid again. Whats wrong with a kiddy image and why does matter? It doesn't.

It matters because there are very few titles available for mature audiences. By and large, people looking for gears of war or resistance have to look elsewhere. Nintendo and Microsoft cold easily capture a much larger audience if they both broadened their target audience, even by a little bit. Sony captures everyone (this remains to be seen with the PS3, but PS2 had the most diverse collection of games by a considerable margin).

It only matters in system wars because fanboys of the other systems like to use it as an excuse for not buying Nintendo's consoles then sheep get all defensive about it and start 50 topics talking about how mature Nintendo is. It's a vicious cycle.

they could do that because they had the most marketshare..

kiddie devs like teams from THQ (which get shunned.. but make decent games.. i mean there are mature baaad games ) jumped on the PS2 cuz they could sell units..

with the PSP and the PS3 thats not the case... The PSP has no competing titles against games like Yoshi, Kirby, Mario etc.. (Daxter and Ratchet maybe.. but in terms of sales.. those titles fall way back.. )

Especially the PS3.. it totally ignores the kiddie crowd.. Resistance and the new naugthy dog game are not kiddie in anymeans.. their devs originally made kiddiegames (Ratchet and Jak) but they are focusing on mature games now..

Is it a mistake..? we will see...

but for kids Nintendo platforms are the way to go right now.. (and for adults that dont care about.. OMG TEH KIDDIE IS TEH BAD rants)

Actually I don't see why he used Harvest Moon as an example. Nothing has really changed in that series from the snes version other than the graphics.

I think you are stereotyping. Don't most gamers buy games that seem fun? I would like to think they do, not because the game looks to be gory. Gamers buy games that are fun.

It only seems to bother the haters (cows/lemmings possibly hermits) who try to use it as an arguement as to why wii sucks :| Nintendo fanboys are countering their arguements with threads like this ;)

Spoilers

-Lucius and Raven-

After the conflict, Raven revealed his past to Hector.
Hector offered to rebuild Raven's home, but Raven refused.
He and Luicus travel as mercenaries, but Lucius is pleased
to see his friend's heart has been eased.

That doesn't sound like gay love!!!!

And Priscilla and Raven have no double ending.

When everyone here is old enough to be married and have kids they will be happy that nintendo is still around so they can pretend to buy a console for their children, yet they can still play it to reminise about the good ol days.

If sony and Microsoft had those things, then chances are I probly wouldn't be a Sony/Microsoft fan. I don't like Nintendo because the majority of their games are shovelware and target a younger audience. If you like Kirby, Mario & Zelda then more power to you. But those kind of games just aren't my cup of tea.

Nintendo is only "kiddy" to some pubescing (is that a word? It shoudl be) boys ages 11-18 who have it out against the world and all that links them to their childhood.

To everyone else, Nintendo's products are just plain fun, which is what games are all about.
