personally, i think nintendo WANTS to be kiddy! obviously they have people working on demographics and what they have seen is that over the years, probibly mostly children have been buying their systems! growing up as kids, all of us pretty much grew up with nintendo as kids, and now that u r older, u r still with nintendo! i think thats what nintendo wants! nintendo wants to appeal to the child!
its true that u guys have barely seen any nintendo commercials advertising, but the truth is, they did advertise alot!! if u wanted to see their commercials often, you could probibly see them alot during the commercials of saturday morning cartoons! every time i woke up in the morning and flipped through the stations on saturdays i always saw a mario commercial!
look at how they designed the nintendo! they made it a little cute cube with a handle, and the main colour of it was purple! nintendo wants to be the council of choice for parents! thats why the mario commercial was so bad! they figured that the mario name would just sell to us, but for the little kids, a realy bad commercial like that would make them laugh and make them want it!
so dont be upset that nintendo has a kiddy image and doesnt do anything to shake it because chances are that they want that kiddy image!!! take zelda for instance! we all kno zelda is a great game and will probibly buy it! if it was a mature looking game, parents whould probibly not buy it for their kid and get them introduced into the zelda franchize! but what nintendo did was take the best of both worlds! they made a great zelda game with great gameplay, but also made it look childish enough so that parents would not has second thoughts picking it up for their kid!
