And what does it matter if it is kiddie? As long as the game is fun
In Godly\'s defense, he said nothing about kiddie games not being fun.
I don\'t give a damn what audience it is targeted towards.
You should. It is a bigger issue than you think. Instead of explaining the whole ordeal to you, I will cite one example:
ex: Konami has detracted MGS2 and Silent Hill 2 from the GC lineup because "they don\'t feel the game is appropiate for the audience the system is targetting."
Hopefully you can figure it out yourself why it is such a big deal. (note: Konami isn\'t the only one)
The only \'confirmation\' possible is if Nintendo themselves came out and stated that they are targeting the younger audience.
Nintendo\'s main focus are the "kids" and they are widening their demographic target. Nintendo, of course, will use most of their advertising funds to maintain the Pokemon fans and younger kids by marketing on saturday morning cartoons, cereal boxes and such. How much they are using on the older market remains to be seen, but from the looks of things, in order for them to even get a fair portion of this desirable mature market they will have to shell out an acceptable, ample of funds to even begin to compete with the likes of Microsoft and Sony. Both whom have publicly announce they will spend upwards of 1.5 billion something dollars. Can Nintendo do it?
And what does it matter if it is kiddie?
My thoughts exactly!
Again, in Ogodly\'s defense, he brought up a really good point for a means of discussion, but nowhere did he say the games "will suck" just because they are "kiddie".
BRAVO!!!! Why is it that T-Shirts is the only person who is able to see this issue clear. I posted this cause I remember alot people saying Nintendo is not mainly target towards kids, they will change this generation etc….. Many people and dev’s have said Nintendo\'s demographics is targeted towards kids. Here is another developer confirming this, Yes confirming in his view, who do you think know more us or the developers?????. Nintendo is not just going to officially announce gamecude for children, which wouldn’t be entirely true anyways, but in a general sense it would. Sure they will have a few mature games, and that\'s not to say that their games which are targeted towards the youth wont be fun for adults to play. ( I loved Mario 64, but no longer can I play that crap)
Hello look at the console, it looks kiddy, there mascots and franchises is all kiddy. Mario, Pokemon, picachu etc....Zelda had youth written all over it. (nintendio has said that the next Zelda will be more mature)
Again this doesn’t mean GC is bad system, or that it won\'t rock the house, I\'m sure GC will have kick ass games. Speaking for myself I have no desire to purchase a console for a couple of kiddy games(not making fun of it) I want really mature, intensive games(please do not think of porn)
But I mean I see so many people denying that Nintendo\'s main focus is not kids.
If you like the system and there games, ALL THE POWER TO YOU. This is only my opinion, so if you disagree, that\'s fine, I’m willing to listen to your side, but please if you are opposing my view, then do it in a mature manner, don\'t get angry at me or call me names, just let me hear your side of the story. I\'m listening.
