Caterkiller, let me dissect why what you said was wrong:
1) I never complained about Nintendo being "Kiddie". If you can find a post where I complained about that please show me because I honestly don't remember that. I have complained about their casual focus, but that's different than "kiddie". The pure white color scheme of the console and controller indicates a design philosophy where Nintendo wants to appeal to everyone and not offend everyone. When you want to make something that "appeals to everyone" you go with pure white vanilla. That won't offend anyone, but its also bland and boring. That's my beef with this. We just went through a whole generation of that sterile white with the Wii and I think its time to move on.
2) Colors aren't even "kiddie" anyway. Even grownups like colors. If they didn't, every house and every car and all the clothing would just be white. So liking colors has nothing to do with something being kiddie or not.
3) Anyone who has followed my posting on the subject knows I am a big fan of the colorful Gamecube controller and I have praised it many times. I don't know where you get the idea I always complain about everything Nitnendo has ever done, but that's false. I've also praised the things they've done I liked and the Gamecube controller is definitely one thing I like very well. Some people may bash the GC controller as "Kiddie" but I like it better than pretty much every controller in existence. If the Wii U's tablet would try replicate that more closely I would be happy and I promise you I wouldn't complain.
I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's been a long day for me and I'm tired. But please don't lecture me on "what I believe" because you can't possibly know how I think or feel about something better than I do myself, and I am not always negative. As I said, I do love the Gamecube's controller. I also love the Super Famicom controller's colorful buttons which look like M&Ms... I wish we had that here in North America instead of the purple button one we did get...
