- Why doesnt Nintendo Ditch the kiddy image?
|
When has the kiddy image ever benifited Nintendo? Kids don't buy Nintendo games they play COD,clash of clans and candy crush. Most Nintendo fans are Adult males.
Why does Nintendo continue to censor their games to appeal to kids who don't even buy their stuff and ignore the real fan base?

"kiddie image" - is what dude-bros and insecure teenage boys call stuff that isn't overly-macho and pandering to their "I'm a grown up person!" demographic.

Nintendo for the last two decades has had kids in their commercials, the only games Nintendo makes are all cartoony This mostly appeals to adults who grew up with Nintendo not today's generation and certainly not adults with no history with Nintendo

If that were true they wouldn't be playing Overwatch, Borderlands, or TellTale games. They wouldn't have played Persona 5, Breath of the Wild, or many of the other highly successful games with "unrealistic" graphics out there. And they certainly wouldn't have turned actual cartoons like "Adventure Time", "Gravity Falls", "Steven Universe", and "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" into these huge generation-spanning phenomena.

the only games Nintendo makes are all cartoony If you consider Zelda, Fire Emblem, Metroid, and Xenoblade Chronicles "cartoony" or just on par with the art and style of most Japanese developers, I guess? Still...it's really just that dude-bro, insecure young male demographic that worries about this. They have two console that pander to their insecurities...Nintendo did well overall in attracting others to their properties. (remember, you have to count the Wii and DS, and not just focus conveniently on Wii U when discussing Nintendo's overall success)

The only people that care about "manly" or "realistic" games where you play as a silent 35 year old bald space marine guy are 16 year olds or people who mentally are 16 year olds. In my experience people will play games that are good and fun regardless of the art style.
I think Nintendo's aesthetic is good because it sets them apart from a market that is already saturated. |

Compare metriod to doom, metriod still Has a cartoony aesthetic and isn't anywhere near as mature
Fire Emblem is an Anime waifu pandering game with strategy Don't even get me started on the new xenoblade game and it's art style

Doom is awesome, I love Doom...I even love Doom 3...the whole franchise is awesome. But let's be clear: Doom is gloriously juvenile. It's big, dumb, horror action bliss with rockin' metal soundtrack. Metroid is more of a thoughtful game of isolation and exploration. It's somewhat realistic, but somewhat surreal and abstract. The story, ambient music, and atmosphere is very sophisticated. I rest my case...dudebros and teenage boys equate "adult" with stuff that they weren't supposed to see as small children, and discount the entire concept of "mature"...

Compare metriod to doom, metriod still Has a cartoony aesthetic and isn't anywhere near as mature And your point is? Games having brown and gray graphics, swearing does not always mean mature. Hell, Kirby, a series with cute and cuddly creatures and bright, colorful worlds, homes giant floating eyeballs that bleed, a demonic clown with a bloodcurdling scream that rapes the eardrums, an alien that betrays Kirby for the sake of a crown that has infinite power. The crown that revived Magolor back from the dead, and possesses his soul. A queen bee that lost her loyalty and friends after her servants brings a mirror that made her go completely insane, and a man that runs a multimillion dollar company. That lost her daughter after an accident, building the ultimate machine that could bring said daughter back. But his daughter was never really dead, leaving the man with nothing but greed and depression. And the machine he built had a mind of its own, wanting to destroy all organic life in the universe. Let me rephrase, that this came from a Kirby game. A pink puffball has darker moments than any realistic shooter out there.

Their kiddy image is why Nintendo has a ton of memorable and iconic character designs. Simplicity and bright colors do much more for brand recognition than a "mature" image.
People ranging from kids to adults will be playing Nintendo games regardless of their current image. If you still think a more childish looking image is somehow detrimental to Nintendo, their "real fan base", or your enjoyment of their games then perhaps you're the one that needs to mature. Or you could play XBOX ONE/PS4/PC instead if your tastes just don't mirror what Nintendo will always bring to the table.

TC, i like to see a game where blood & guts are absent. Nintendo does this well, been gaming since the Colecovision back in the days. Seen blood, carnage and murder a plenty. Sure i like to mow down monsters/people in a good shooter, but sometimes it's nice to relax with let's say super mario.
Never forgive, never forget.

It's generally the insecure kiddies and teenagers that can't stand the so-called "kiddie image" because they feel they must act grown-up, when actual grown-ups really don't give a flying feather.
"When you've got no argument, say something bad about <x>."
Perfectly explains why the Nintendo boards are toxic and are full of trolls/haters. |

Nintendo now caters to a much more mature audience than its competitors. The grandmothers.

Nintendo being the only one that is "kiddy" of the big three is one of the very few reasons why I don't have a 100% bleak outlook on life.
Painful topic.

Xenoblade X wasn't and Xenoblade 2 looks to be going full on anime and I'm not sold on it at all. And up until 13 Final Fantasy was good and enjoyable. They just rereleased 12 for PS4 and it's great.
Favorite series: Tales Of, Valkyria Chronicles, Trails of Cold Steel, Corpse Party, God Eater, Resident Evil
Still foolishly hoping for Skies of Arcadia sequel

Fire Emblem is an Anime waifu pandering game with strategy Wrong. .....Strategy has been completely absent from Fire Emblem since 2004. Way before the waifu pandering began. I'm talking about the good Final Fantasy games Final Fantasy is the worst franchise ever and they are interactive movies. like Final Fantasy 6 which is a very mature and we'll told story you can't argue that I sure as fuck can. The villain is a zero-dimensional (Yeah, not even one-dimensional. ZERO.) Joker rip-off with no motive whatsoever who is only liked because of stupid one liners. He wants to destroy the world just because. We have villains with more meaningful reasons for wanting to erase all existence. Sargeras from Warcraft for example, was once a titan in charge of maintaining order in the universe but saw his struggle as pointless and that chaos is the true nature of the universe after countless battles with demons. So twisted and disturbed from all the fucked up things he saw demons do, he reached the conclusion that the only way to bring order to the universe is to destroy it. .....But this clown in fruity makeup and dresses (What is with Square and flamboyant villains?) wants to destroy everything with less reasoning than 1980s cartoon villains had for their choice of a life in villainy. And villains are the driving force behind any story. And FF6's villain is so cartoony and zero-dimensional..... and nowhere near as entertaining as the Joker which someone at Square decided he wants to make his own version of. Oh, and a 12 year old girl who likes to paint can end his wretched life with just two spell casts. Little girls can end "gods". Oh Japan..... And most things felt disconnected from the main plot and pointless. Like that opera scene. It feels like it was written by teenagers. (But then again, all jRPGs do.) Even Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Yes, it's fucking worse than Fates' plot, even if Xander is the worst character in the franchise.) has a better plot than any FF. And that was full of Blood Pact shenanigans and everyone dickriding Ike to no end.....

The reality is that you could have a game with a more nuanced, mature tale in a game with a T-rating than majority of the games that have an 'M' on the cover.

"kiddie image" - is what dude-bros and insecure teenage boys call stuff that isn't overly-macho and pandering to their "I'm a grown up person!" demographic. No. Kiddie image is what adults and teenagers call something that has a kiddie image. Nintendo aims for extremely childish and lite themes. They don't like complicated stories or things that make you think, just smiles and bright colors that look like a kids Disney movie

Almost none of those games are cartoon. There's a difference between art style and content. Persona 5 has heavy rape and extortion themes. Overwatch is about terrorism. Borderlands is about mercenaries. You literally have no idea what you're talking about

He's insecure to the point where he can't even decline a bet from me on the fate of the Switch.
