A bruised ego is a terrible thing.
I'm still a bit confused as to why the 'kiddy' tag has become so prolific (happening a lot), other than group mentality (wanting to do what everyone else does).
I can only imagine it is the graphics and/or themes. The sad thing is, the very same people will always put gameplay way above graphics- or anything else- when asked what they feel is most important to a game.
As I've said before, games are made first and foremost to entertain. Some of the most fun ones are the ones that are simple and easy to play. I mean, look at Mario. One of my current favorites is Katamari Damacy for PS2, which is probably the simplest and silliest game to ever exist, but it's a ton of fun and is incredibly addicting.
People just seem to confuse 'easy to play' with 'childish', but this is not always the case.
Heh, yeah, really.
I think why Nintendo's been slapped with this label of kiddy is because it doesn't draw lines between it's target audiences and instead makes games to appeal to everyone. I mean, I'm nearly 20. And I'll admit that I have great fun playing games like Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and Super Smash Brothers Melee. They're just fun to play. If they were kiddie games, then logically only kids would enjoy them, right? But obviously that's not the case.
I think that is the crux (translation- the middle, important bit) of it- kiddy doesn't even mean 'for kids' in their argument, it means non-mature.
That's a problem I with that argument personally, because to me, a game is a game- literally and figuratively. It's not like the difference between 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Shrek', it's just different games. Different ways to press buttons.

the funny thing is that , I don't need your help b/c I don't really consider those "big" words like you do.
And that wasn't the point anyway. But obviously you thought there was a need to emphasize that they were with another message.
Go on and have your little parade for yourself. No dirt on my shoulder.
Oops I used the word "shoulder", look everybody, i used a "Big" word.
I don't believe there is a such thing as a kiddy game.
There are games directed to certain age groups, but that doesn't make them kiddy.
Is it comprehensible.....

If this is for my benefit, can you take it to PM, so I can ignore it there.
If it is for others, I doubt anyone is impressed by your idiocy. Why do assume other people want to read your petty grudges in their thread?
PM, or shut up. Lana already told you to stop; apparently that's another word you don't understand.
You yourself were also arguing with me and called me an idiot so i'm not the only on here arguing like yall are making it. But whatever.
Like I said I dont believe there is such a thing as a Kiddie game. Just because a game may not be as mature or difficult as other games, doesn't mean that an older person can't play it and get as much enoyment out of it as a younger person.
Is it comprehensible.....
Well it sounds like it so leave it alone and stop following me and asking me the same question over and ove and saying the same things over and over, if you don't like it don't read it. You don't see me trying to get you change your Sig. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I have the right to tell you to take it down, and I won't do that.
I know because I am through with the ordeal.
Hopefully Nintendo starts to show some next gen game footage and comes out with some new games b/c so far I've seen nothing to make me want a revolution even though i'm getting one. I have heard of upcoming games for the system though that I want so that's good.
