Nintendo needs to market to adults

This is not an attack on Nintendo; in fact, they're my favorite of the Big Three. The problem is that all of their games treat you like a child. You can't get through the first quarter of any of their first-party games without stopping seemingly every few minutes for the 'guide' character to explain what is in this particular room, how to use your weapons or tools, why the bad guys are bad, etc. They just assume that you have no idea what you're doing. Now, I'm not suggesting that they make it a Dark Souls-esque game where they just throw you in and let you die dozens of times just to figure out how to win, but this crap needs to stop. I just started playing Skyward Sword last night and had to walk away from the game because I got fed up with their annoying gibberish dialog, insufferably childish characters, and being told what to do and where to go literally every time I entered a new room. This type of handholding is not conducive to gaming and makes it impossible (and meaningless) to explore. So yeah, that's it. I want to see Nintendo games that don't treat me like a baby.

  • Hmm... Nintendo is sort of like the Disney of the gaming world, I mean if you see a Disney branded film you know you aren't going for a complex, thrill-ride classic that will remembered for all of time, you're going because you have kids or young relatives that will enjoy it and it's just amusing enough to adults to stop their brains imploding, you won't find much more than that but you know that when you go to watch it. Likewise, if you pick up Mario or Zelda, you know you're going to get a fairly simple "Good triumphs over evil" story that, let's be honest, you've probably already played before, however, you know this when you start playing, so you nod your way through, enjoying the mild to moderate challenge to quench your own nostalgia and introduce any younger players to the medium without resorting to Sesame Street Kinect games... So, I wouldn't say they need a change in marketing because they freely admit to their purpose, position and vision, it's what they've been doing for decades and I'm pretty sure they're okay with sticking with it.
