Exactly.  If I could go back to those days, I wouldn\'t hesitate for a second.  Not only for the awsome NES and SNES, but for the Genesis too.

Nintendo ain\'t nothing but sell-outs with those kiddy games.  I mean after the spaceworld conference they bascialy told older gamers that our main focus are kids.  So forget them I like sony better anyway.:thepimp:

Compare nintendo to sega back in the day. And see just how kiddie nintendo was they where just the more popular brand. Name all these quote on quote mature adult titles nintendo had.

They had a library of kidde games on nes and a library of kiddie games on snes. Jeesh mortal kombat was the most popular game at it\'s time and nintendo would not even allow the blood in the game and they change all the finishing moves in the game. How kiddie was that.

If you go and look back on nintendo and the library of games they had out you would see nothing has changed with nintendo the times have just changed.

While we are at it crying that Nintendo is not mature, lets go and storm Disney for not catering to the older audience..
Get over it people.
Sheesh.

By the way - as for the "sellout" remark, what do you think EVERY company is? :rolleyes:

disney animations have beautifully drawn characters and backgrounds and have oscar winning soundtracks....they stick to classic fairy tale stories and portray  them in an amazing way...their characters may not be as mature as \'solid snake\'  but they sure as hell aint gay looking like Link from the new zelda and they definitely do not sound as gay as luigi or mario....

disney has ALWAYS done things for kiddies and have been respected for that for years....nintendo once catered for all audiences (NES and SNES days) ,  and ever since the n64 they changed their minds and thats why people are pist at them.

I don\'t understand how Nintendo "soldout", they were always kiddy.  The only difference is that the people who grew up with Nintendo expect Nintendo to throw away their market which is pulling them in more than enough money and move to one that might tarnish their family friendly reputation.  The thing is alot of you are so selfish that you want to deprive todays gaming youths of that same magic Nintendo gave you back during the SNES days.

You think nintendo was mature back in nes and snes days? Games where not as violent as they are now. They had libraries and libraries of kiddie games. I could list all the titles on snes and nes for you if you want me two.

The playing field was not as big. The only thing nintendo has slacked off is that they had no real fighting games on n64. Sega was the system that was so  mature. Nintendo always chose the disney rout.

Saying the Gamecube is a kiddy system because of Nintendo is like saying all movies are for children because of Disney.  Anyone hear of third parties?

And excuse me as I bury my boot into the side of the rotting horse, but just because a kid likes a game doesn\'t mean an adult wouldn\'t like it either.

-Eik

EDIT! - I got a bad feeling about what I said before I edited this..... because of flamming...

I don\'t enjoy Nintendo\'s idea on the non-mature games... But that doesn\'t mean they will be fun.... I mean look at ICO.... That game is so easy.... A toddler could beat it..... Of course the puzzles might be confusing... But I LOVE that game! I really enjoyed it.... And I will enjoy it again tomorrow (I\'m beating it again.) Too many faces?
