[QUOTE="springz300"]

even if ps3 does get a few kiddie games,

it still has games for everyone.

nintendos kiddy games overshadow its non-kiddie games.

hell, what non-kiddie games does nintendo have?

i mean they had eternal darkness for gamecube.

wii has?

Go on...

people only think mario is kiddy cause its cartoony. i guess that means family guy and robot chicken are for little kids too thenair_wolf_cubed

I think Mario can be considered kiddy because it's storyline doesn't have much depth, it mainly consists of princess peach being kidnaped, and Mario has to save her. The story is very simple and is able to be understood by younger audiences. With more mature games you will find the story to have more depth and will require you to be older to understand what is happening.

Yes it's kiddy. It really doesn't matter. The difference here between that and the anti-nintendo argument is that LBP is just one game.tegovoltio

I don't think a game's kiddyness has anything to do with it's difficulty. It's a much more superficial thing than that. It's mainly based on graphics and a lack of "mature" content. And to answer your question at the end, mario doesn't need violence, it's perfectly fine the way it is.jack_russel

I also think difficulty makes a game more "kiddy" or not sometimes, cause generally a kiddy game is very easy going and lacks any real depth or spark, or creation.

[QUOTE="tegovoltio"]Yes it's kiddy. It really doesn't matter. The difference here between that and the anti-nintendo argument is that LBP is just one game.jack_russel

And you compare the hype/reputation for that couple of games as the same of Nintendo's main and most produced type of games? Again it doesn't really matter.

Ratchet and Clank is NOT kiddie,

Same thing that doesn't make mario adn such kiddy, the fact that E for everyone MEANS E for EVERYONEkittykatz5k

even tho the playstation brand DOES carry tons of kiddie games,

it still has more for the hardcore. basically EVERYONE can enjoy the system unlike nintendo, where 85% of games are kiddy.

ps1 and ps2 didnt sell 215million consoles for nothin ya know.

Then you should know that it's a weak comparison.

No because it's a game based on a product with an "ages3 and up" tag... this rule on E for everyone games has to be taken with an extent of common sense... That game is N for no one anyways, I can't even see little kids having fun with how bad that gmae sucks.

you should know that it's perfectly valid. locoroco is just as kiddy and as mario, if not more so. jack_russel

Yea but Mario is Nintendo's main name, a game labeled as kiddy, and you named those games and name a few more if you want but it's not the same against nintendo's ''arsenal'' of those.

I suppose you have a better way to define the word kiddy? Lemme guess, everything that isn't blood fps #20,032, right?

cause in LBP you can add all the porn and graphic stuff you want in to the level. Ragashahs

I'm not talking about being the main franchise being making it more kiddy but it's attached to their image.

And It's about the same amount? You sure? And not only that but you also have the who has more ''non kiddy'' games to put in the comparison as well.

okay, but I still don't see how that makes the sony's kiddy games anyless kiddy than nintendo's. As an overall image, I agree, Nintendo has the kiddy image more so than sony.jack_russel

It doesn't make it any less. I never said that. In my original post I was referring mostly to quantity.

This can be defined as a hell of a lot of games poeple of all ages enjoy... I see kiddy as stuff like seseme street and such, things built for the yougest of audiences. There must be some huge gap between my defenition of kiddy and yours.

I mean its not exactly what we'd call a "mature" game but its definitely unfair to compare it to friggin' Pokemon...I know a lot of you guys play that game, but there's absolutely no denying that between the games, TV show, and trading cards it's aimed squarely at the 6-12 market.
Teufelhuhn

The cards, the show,all thatmerchendise not made by nintendo, sure. Those are definetly the 10-12 market. The games however carry a rather large ammount of depth to them and are quite fun. A whole lot to these games, espessially stuff I couldn't see my yougner cousin understanding or anything.

I'm sure they do have depth and they're obviously enjoyable to a lot of people here, I would just argue that the younger crowd is still the primary target for those games.
Teufelhuhn

Primary target is anyone, that's how games are naturally marketed. Just because there's a clear branch to bring in another audience doesn't mean it makes the game anymore alienated to everyone else.

LBP does have a slightly kiddy image. But just like any game it doesn't prevent it from being fun.... and LBP will certainly be that.

Difference here is LBP is one game on a mature system. With Nintendo everything they produce except Metroid is completely kiddy. So the image of the entire system is kiddy.

Well some of the games you listed weren't Sony's but whatever. But you also got Kirby, DK, wario, maybe not that one but the numerous spin offs said franchises have, would animal crossing count too?

Nobuo, everytime i see your ps3 head shaking avatar i know something dumb is gonna be right next to it. Anywho, yes i think LBP is kiddy but its arguable. Most wii games on the other hand aren't, there either super kiddy or not kiddy at all
