the wii is for kids

[QUOTE="SamXVII"]

[QUOTE="donaldo1989"] You need at least 80% of your games to have violence for a console not to be kiddy, which is never going to happen with the wii or any other nintendo console/handheld.laughingman42

Only insecure children care about how much violence is in their games. An adult doesn't think "Well if I buy the Wii, my friends will think I'm not cool because I play Mario games." So really, if a console needs to have 80% violent games, they are marketing to children and teenage boys with phallic shortcomings.

Later he said it was sarcastic...? So what? And who are you, his bodyguard? I honestly don't care, and I don't read entire threads, I skim.

You wont be convincing anyone on SW unfortunately.

less than 15 out of over 400 wii games are minigames and look how many "wii only has minigames" threads we get

The Wii has 400 games?!?!?!!? Oh maybe you mean 40 games. 15 out of 40 iswhat, over 35%? A system with 35% minigames is REALLY minigame-heavy. And I'm not looking for games with violence to make theWii not kiddy, I'm looking for games with mature theme, involved stories and comple gameplay. It seems evident that though the Wii is not entirely for kids, that a lot of the games and a lot of the marketing is aimed at attracting children. In some of the games, children and non-gamers mean the same thing.

I think this video does a pretty good job of explaining my feelings concerning the wii. Sorry, I don't know how to hyperlink stuff. or put up images, for that matter.

[QUOTE="ramen613"]its also for adults, teens, basically for everyone. face it lems and cows the wii is winning even without their great games and if it continues like this the wii get the games you guys are getting. so you guys can just bash the wii all you want it wont do anything.and just because a game looks kiddie doesnt mean it is.Rhys555

Fads burn out. and btw the only kids i know buying Wii's at my age (16) also happen to be very immature.

"Wull my friend who is like SO like immature plays wii so i guess im like above wii players ROFLMAO

I dont care what age its targeted for. People should buy a game for the fun of it, not because it's more mature. Nintendo still creates quality games and will make more quality games. Even with characters that have already been used. Heck if it wasn't for Nintendo, video games wouldn't be popular anyway.
