I have been a long time gamer and a huge fan of Nintendo and its outstanding games. But I'm a little bit older now and as I was shopping in Big W I was sort of thinking to myself, as I looked through the games and compared them to 360+PS3, that they came across as a touch kiddy. I looked at PS3 and saw F.E.A.R and Assasins Creed and Oblivion etc then looked over to the Wii and saw Boom Blox, Wario Ware and Cooking Mama etc. Microsoft and Sony feel that this is a Nintendo weakness that they can exploit to win the console wars. I'm just wondering what other members think...

i dont think they are too kiddy depite the fact of buying every Mario game there is, i still dont find it kiddy.
also, the only weakness nintendo has is how crappy their third-party games are

I reckon the kiddy factor is an advantage to Nintendo as parents will by their kids wii's instead of other consoles because of this. This will make sure that Nintendo always have a loyal following.

Depends if you're a 'gamer' I suppose. I'm a 24 yr old female and the games you have listed above in your post don't appeal to me in the slightest (although I am sure there are some girl gamers who would love them). That is why I personally decided to go with the Wii. I don't have any kids or anything like that, but I felt that the titles available on the Wii were more suited to my style of gaming. I also wanted something our family could enjoy (I have a 12 yr old sister).

Yeah, I like Nintendo but it is more kiddy than the other consoles, but there are titles like "Resident Evil 4: The Umbrella Chronicles" and "House of Dead" or whatever.. I think it is balanced

I just wish that someone would make a good FPS for the wii
like COD 4, Ghost Reacon, Time Shift, Halo, MGS, Frontlines. ive probaly missed lots but you get the idea. I know COD 5 is coming to wii but thats going to be a crappy port (made by the peopole who made the old CODs and they kinda sucked and what is it with them and World war 2)

so yes nintendo may be kiddy compared to ps3 and 360 but it has all the great games that are fun to play eg mario, zelda, donkey kong.. while microsoft and sony have more of the action games like COD, MGS, DMC...

but i still think nintendo is better because it has good fun games that EVERYONE can enjoy

Nintendo has always been more kiddy though
even when the 64 came out...the ps1 had less kiddish games...

but it hasn't stopped their success

nintendo wii does suit a younger market more than the 360 and ps3, and they have the advantage in price their too.

I think since the gamers age group is a lot larger now, with younger and older gamers, there is a big aim at the older gamers because they are the ones with the dollars. But when you have the same violent (or less-kiddy...whatever you like) games available on PS3 and 360 and PC as well...then how much money are Nintendo expecting to make by jumping on the bandwagon for all these games?

sure...there would be a few games that might be financially worthwhile...maybe gta iv, etc...only because you know that would sell on any console

but i think nintendo are the ones that seem to be addressing the untapped markets


anyway...its not completely aimed at youngens...otherwise it wouldn't have any games with MA15+ ratings like Mortal Kombat Armageddon and such...

but who doesn't like some kiddy games anyway?
is there anyone here that doesn't like mario kart wii???

I hate it when people say the wii is just for little kids and all it has is mario. what they don't realize is that he is probably the most popular video game character of all time. plus it does have options. you could go for the kiddier games (dosen't mean bad) or you could go for something like resident evil.

does anyone remember donkey kong jungle beat and when you think about it its actually a very vionlent game.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it being "kiddy" but it is possible to give the wii some better specs so it can play more "less kiddy" games aswell as "kiddy" games

Mario is actually violent. He crushes living animals with his sheer body weight, and then uses their corpses to kill other animals. (The shells)

That's worse than anything I've seen in Halo or COD or MGS.

Yeah nintendo is more kiddy than xbox 360 and the ps3... but that doesn't mean it doesn't have great games...that's a matter of opinion...it just means that nintendo has games different from ps3 and xbox 360.
