its a well known fact halo is very popular with the little kiddies on xbox live, rfom has a mature storyline as does GTA

No, he chose those games because people (mostly preteens or 14-15 year-olds who are still kids) state often that Mario is "teh kiddy" and they're going to play "mature" games like Halo or GTA because it makes them feel cool. Needless to say, they're great games, but one of their major audiences is teenage kids.

Mature games don't have to be violent, but most people make it out to be like that.

I wonder if some people do know that a kiddy game is... just because a game isn't rated M it doesn't mean it's kiddy.

Kids get attracted more by violent games like Max Payne and Resident Evil.

Adults play games the way its meant to be played, to have fun.

M rated games are kiddy tbh :|

I allready made a topic about this.

Here a picture to prove my point.

Wii is for adults and open minded gamers. I know 12 year olds that have the maturity and intelligence of a 22 year old.

ng1234

Like my sister said, there is nothing wrong with a 22 year old showing interest in all things pink and buying barbie dolls, but whether that is open minded or not, there is something that tells you a guy like that hasn't developed very well.

Call it what you want, but saying violence is immature is absolutely stupid. I don't recall the word immature being used last time somebody was actually murdered. "well you should just grow up, honestly Mr Jones, stabbing people at your age?". You really need to stop with the role reversing. Violence is in human nature, but immaturity and violence have nothing to do with Nintendo appealing to younger audiences, as I have already said earlier. Adults watching cartoon network is another example, being open minded about actual immaturity is not good, but at least people are facing facts.

Nintendo games are aimed at young demographics, hell, nintendogs was advertised as a girls game here. Just shows that people around the world are having problems developing.

Your hypothesis is young people like games that are violent, and that makes violent games kiddy, but play that back to yourself all things considered, it doesn't make sence, I mean when have 8 year olds carved the way adults think. The real reason for this is probably to do with you playing these simple games and not liking the fact that they are indeed aimed for younger audiences. Young lads think that violent games are good a lot of the time, but they aren't meant to play them according to age restrictions, and the games are aimed at older generations. In games like GTA, they contain lots of references that only an adult would understand. You will find a lot of this just comes down to testosterone, and the age old high horse that sheep like to ride if you think about it

dude, theres a big difference in a grown-up man buying barbie dolls as opposed to playing Mario Party. :roll:

kids wanna grow-up, so they try to do grown-up things... like dismiss anything they see "kiddy", and play violent videogames. its very true in alot of situations, but doesnt apply to all

Yeah guys we all need to face up the fact that if a Game isn't rated M it's kiddy!

No. The people that need to realise things are people like you. A game isn't kiddy because of it's rating, just because it doesn't have blood and gore doesn't make it rubbish. I mean look at Zack and Wiki, it's got Cel Shaded graphics (A sure sign it's kiddy obviously, just like No More Heroes ye?) but it's not kiddy, hell most "hardcore gamers" who sit in their houses playing Halo all day would probably suck at it, "OMG I have to use my brain, I can't do that I only know how to press fire button!!!". An E rating does not make it any more kiddy than an M game. Just because kids can't play M games doesn't make them mature.

Of the 3, nintendo had the only game refused classification twice by the BBFC.

Of the 3, nintendo had the only game that had to have its entire blood content removed in 2 continents.

The average age of wii owners is 29.

the name...are you frickin kidding me :|

samusarmada

I'm pretty sure that game didn't have very good sales if I know which one yuo are takling about. And all in all, that is a lazy argument compared to this very well put together argument by this guy. I agree with him completely, great argument. And the average age of Wii owners is only that because they go by the adult's age when they do the average. Who buys the Wii in almost all cases? The adult.

There are kids games on every console. But just because a game has a E doesn't mean everyone can't play. SMG is E and it can be enjoy by all.

Just because the Wii is for everyone doesnt mean it's kiddy.

A game can be for everyone and not be kiddy. People confuse games that can be enjoyable for all ages as kiddy because they're used to play games that arent suitable for kids like GTA.

i agree.

same here, owning a wii, ps3 and 360 I will admit that I play the wii the least. But just because a game has a 3+ rating it does not make it kiddy. racing sims are 3+ but I would like to see a kid complete it.

I find it sad that people think that if game does not include a man with a gun it is kiddy, and I love FPS games, I got R6V2 not long ago and its really good, but I still play wii sports with friends and enjoy it. thats it.

So did the cartoons Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Batman the Animated Series, Justice League, ALL animated Disney movies released after the Little Mermaid, the Pixar movies, not to mention the Shrek series is filled with more innuendo than anyone can realize in one sitting. So using your logic these shows and movies aren;t meant for kids and should really only be enjoyed by adults?

Can't call it kiddy when kids want something else.Willy105

Exactly. The kids will get GTA instead, because it gives them the idea that they're cool. Any kid who buys a kiddy game is, in effect, committing social suicide.

I just dont understand what makes a game with violence, drugs, swearing, and sex mature? The rating "M" only means that you have to be 17 to buy it. It is by no means calling the game or the buyer "mature." That is probably the dumbest thing I have read on this forum this year. Do you understand that these games are pretty much exploiting teenagers? And it's obviously working on you.

I gotta say this. Sheep always say this is not the case when all the factors are staring them in the face.

1. Of the 3, the Wii has the least M rated titles.

2. ALL of Nintendo's franchises "play it safe", you won't find anything above T for teen on a Nintendo 1st party game.

3. Of the 3, Nintendo has the Most E for all titles.

******It is because of this that the majority of kids 15 and under have their parents buy them a Wii. Its simply a truth that you 20+ sheep have to deal with. Quite simply, the content the Wii delievers is best suited for kids 15 and under.******

-now and again, Nintendo releases a Zelda/Mario/Smash Bros or a M game or two to please the 20+ Nintendo fans. But they are quite the visible minority. The Wii catalogue of games are simply geared for younger audiences and ******so everybody can enjoy it******, essentially neglecting older fans who want a challenge.

MOST POPULAR SHEEP RESPONSE: "What is kiddy? It seems the immature people buy the M rated games"

My response: Defensive much?? If the difficulty is low and the game looks way to friendly and colorful, it will be argued that it is kiddy.

And sure immature people buy M rated games, but they are still 18+ most of the time. Kids and especially their parents don't want M rated games. They want their Mario and Sonic, and Zelda; games that don't remind people of the harsh realities of death (graphic death), swearing, and "real" violence.

Quite simply, the Nintendo Wii games play it safe, they stay away from the M. They want parents to know this so they can buy it for their kids. And kids like the inviting colors and characters of Mario Galaxy, Mario kart (etc), so they in turn also want it.

My point: Sheep that are 20+, you are essentially invested in a kiddy console (or at least a console marketed to kids). The lack of M titles and most friendly and colorful E titles also reinforce this.

*******If you want people to think that the Wii isn't kiddy so you can feel better about your Wii purchase, I find that sad. The Wii is kiddy, your above 20, deal with it.*******

Translation: I'm afraid because my system is getting beat by the Wii and I don't understand why.

well the TC rants about kiddinness even though he makes this pointless topic which will have no effect on wii owners. I'm a ps3 gamer as well ..and used to be a 360 gamer. I can say the same for you TC. Making such a topic to justify your purpose for the 360. Ppl who make threads like these... are not very mature themselves.

I play games not ratings of maturity.

With your mentality i'd naturally assume your no older than 14!! Your not old enough to play GTA4 or RE! Go figure.

Another weird thing is my brother at 6 was capable of playing GTA but could not grasp on how to play games like Mario Sunshine.

Ok is there ever a way to respond to cmments without calling people names? The guy has a really valid point, everything he just said is right, Prove him right without making unneccesary comments. I agree with everysingle thing he said. And he never said the games were bad. OMG why is it so hard to read?

Why is everyone trying to make excuses for the wii? its definately the kiddiest out of the 3 by far. It has the least amount of mature games, nobody said that there arent good games for the wii. What were trying to say is, quit saying the wii isnt kiddy, because it most definately is. 1 or 2 mature games isnt going to make the wii any more mature. and quit using the ps2, the ps2 had more mature games then any console in recent memory. Much more then the wii will ever have.

I guess this means that Wii is outselling the gamecube to the exact same demographic at a higher price point. I guess that makes sense.

Newsflash, "E for Everyone" means the game is for everyone. Not necessarily just for kids. Just like G-rated moviescan be enjoyed by everyone. Not just by kids. ExciteTruck is a perfect example of this.

I thought we already established the average Wii owner was 29.

-now and again, Nintendo releases a Zelda/Mario/Smash Bros or a M game or two to please the 20+ Nintendo fans. But they are quite the visible minority. The Wii catalogue of games are simply geared for younger audiences and ******so everybody can enjoy it******, essentially neglecting older fans who want a challenge.

I don't know where you've been but I've got my share of games with my share of challenges on the Wii, so...you're pretty wrong.

MOST POPULAR SHEEP RESPONSE: "What is kiddy? It seems the immature people buy the M rated games"

My response: Defensive much?? If the difficulty is low and the game looks way to friendly and colorful, it will be argued that it is kiddy.

Thats a pretty poor arguement that the colors of a game establishes the age group the game is aiming for.As far as difficulties go, it often varies from game to game. But I've found that if you're having fun with a game with no challenge then who cares?

And sure immature people buy M rated games, but they are still 18+ most of the time. Kids and especially their parents don't want M rated games. They want their Mario and Sonic, and Zelda; games that don't remind people of the harsh realities of death (graphic death), swearing, and "real" violence.

Play some XBL and you will disagree in a very short time.

Quite simply, the Nintendo Wii games play it safe, they stay away from the M. They want parents to know this so they can buy it for their kids. And kids like the inviting colors and characters of Mario Galaxy, Mario kart (etc), so they in turn also want it.

Older audiences like it too because the games are fun. Go figure.

My point: Sheep that are 20+, you are essentially invested in a kiddy console (or at least a console marketed to kids). The lack of M titles and most friendly and colorful E titles also reinforce this.

*******If you want people to think that the Wii isn't kiddy so you can feel better about your Wii purchase, I find that sad. The Wii is kiddy, your above 20, deal with it.*******

You know what I find sad is when people like you who play their Halo and Gears of War and other titles that young kids should not be playing take a game like Super Mario Galaxy and the fact that just because it's a game that CAN be played by little kids, you instantly feel the need to say that that was the only audience the developers were aiming for. God forbid the fun factor of the game is enough to be enjoyed by ALL audiences that include young ones. The whole point of the Wii was to make a console that could be enjoyed by everyone and thats exactly what they did. The fact that little kids are also able to play it is not enough to shun it a "kiddy console".

I'll see who disagrees...

Start quoting me, which is more kiddy: Halo 3 or Super Mario Galaxy?

I am NOT being sarcastic in any way.

An E rated game does not automatically mean it's "kiddy". Ever heard of Supreme Commander? It's rated E and is way to complex for any 10 year old kid to be able to play.

I know, it's like when I saw Spongebob being sold for PS2, I immediately burned my 100+ PS2 games. Can't play kiddy console!!!locopatho

That makes no sense, think about it there are not 100+ mature or non kiddy games to burn on the wii. Point is the ps2 had, and has a ton of awesome games. The wii dose not. Damage control?

There haven't been many/any Wii games from Nintendo that were as kid-centric as Yoshi's Story or something like that. Fact is that you have stuff like Twilight Princess, Corruption, Galaxy, Brawl and you'd be hard pressed to call any of them truly kiddy. Nintendo actually does have an M-rated game coming out this year, Disaster: Day of Crisis.

I don't mean to encourage you in your trolling, this is still an ass-backwards retarded topic and you and your family should be ashamed of its existence.

Blaxploitation

i'd edit that. i got suspended for saying 'tarded... in spanish.

Kids want to feel like adults, and adults want to feel like kids. So that means the kids want the mature games, and the adults want the kiddy games.

Of the 3, nintendo had the only game refused classification twice by the BBFC.

Of the 3, nintendo had the only game that had to have its entire blood content removed in 2 continents.

The average age of wii owners is 29.

the name...are you frickin kidding me :|

rolo107

I'm pretty sure that game didn't have very good sales if I know which one yuo are takling about. And all in all, that is a lazy argument compared to this very well put together argument by this guy. I agree with him completely, great argument. And the average age of Wii owners is only that because they go by the adult's age when they do the average. Who buys the Wii in almost all cases? The adult.

No doubt, how many 10 yrds do you see at bestbuy with $300.00 cash to buy the wii. The parents buy them. I dont even know how the sheep can deny the wii is kiddy. IT baffles me. SHEEP LOOK AT THE GAME LINE UPS THIS YEAR!!! See anything ps3/360 get NG2,MGS4, GTA4, TOOHUMAN, RE5,GEOWS2, KILLZONE2, RE2. What to you get? MARIOKART....

Kids get attracted more by violent games like Max Payne and Resident Evil.

Adults play games the way its meant to be played, to have fun.

M rated games are kiddy tbh :|

I allready made a topic about this.

Here a picture to prove my point.

Wii is for adults and open minded gamers. I know 12 year olds that have the maturity and intelligence of a 22 year old.

leejohnson7

Like my sister said, there is nothing wrong with a 22 year old showing interest in all things pink and buying barbie dolls, but whether that is open minded or not, there is something that tells you a guy like that hasn't developed very well.

Call it what you want, but saying violence is immature is absolutely stupid. I don't recall the word immature being used last time somebody was actually murdered. "well you should just grow up, honestly Mr Jones, stabbing people at your age?". You really need to stop with the role reversing. Violence is in human nature, but immaturity and violence have nothing to do with Nintendo appealing to younger audiences, as I have already said earlier. Adults watching cartoon network is another example, being open minded about actual immaturity is not good, but at least people are facing facts.

Nintendo games are aimed at young demographics, hell, nintendogs was advertised as a girls game here. Just shows that people around the world are having problems developing.

Your hypothesis is young people like games that are violent, and that makes violent games kiddy, but play that back to yourself all things considered, it doesn't make sence, I mean when have 8 year olds carved the way adults think. The real reason for this is probably to do with you playing these simple games and not liking the fact that they are indeed aimed for younger audiences. Young lads think that violent games are good a lot of the time, but they aren't meant to play them according to age restrictions, and the games are aimed at older generations. In games like GTA, they contain lots of references that only an adult would understand. You will find a lot of this just comes down to testosterone, and the age old high horse that sheep like to ride if you think about it

Almost everyone in this thread doesn't seem to understand the fact about kiddy games. So all all people who enjoy to play violent games are immature teenagers. Yes yes, I've heard this thousand times before. And it makes absolutely no sense.

Just something I remember someone have said on the forums:

''The real world in itself is a "violent atmosphere", so, using the failed logic people pathetically attempt to use, anyone who believes themselves mature here in the real world, must in actuality be an immature teenager.''

Just with the release of the Wii. I started to hear more people claiming that the terms hardcore and casual don't exist.

Nintendo fans / sheep are a confused bunch. They are prepared to turn the laws of logic upside down just to prove their point.

That said. There is still a difference between a kiddy game. And a kid-friendly game. Mario isn't kiddy. The game is kid-friendly and can be enjoyed by adults.

But seriously, some of the things I read make absolutely no sense in this thread :|

I wouldnt call the Wii kiddy... but i have to say its not a console either. I would call it a master piece of marketing. (Nintendo is not a gaming company nowadays, all they do is market research and other stuff u guys wouldnt even understand)

Thats a really lame response. I was using both to show what kind of games the other 2 consoles offer. The 360 games kill the wii all by its self. Too human, ng2 alone is better than anything the wii will get all year. Keep your sales crap to yourself because It dosent make my wii any more fun. Even my sister has a wii and she not anykind of gamer or ever will be. She played one at a party drunk like it bought one and now she never plays it. I wonder how many of those sales are something like that?
