You pretty much summed everything up. Good job.
Nintendo needs to get a new image. Right now it's "kiddy", that won't work.
Won't work for who? You?

Why the attitude?
It's for all people cause today everything is about fps, gore and blood. Nintendo has a bad image in today's industry. Don't tell me that you have missed that?

With todays oversaturation from shooters its Ninty's "kiddy" image thats keeping interest in gaming industry going

We just have to accept that today's generation don't like Mario and Pokémon. They like FPS and stuff like that. Talking ages 7-15 right now.
Sorry I'm just repeating what I'm saying but it's true.

I really don't think Nintendo is under a lot of pressure. That's just my opinion. Nintendo has danced to the beat of its own drum since the days of the N64 and has done just fine and the Wii is the 3rd best selling home console next to the PS2 and PSone. Nintendo has never really catered to hardcore gamer's...ever. They always catered to Nintendo fans. Yeah the "kiddy" image can spoil it for the people who only play GTA and Madden. I don't really give a damn about half the crap that comes out on other systems. Most my favorite franchises are Nintendo based anyways. So I will agree that they need to dig deep into their IP pool and really give some great games, much much more than what we saw on the Wii. Also if the Wii U doesn't get every 3rd party game the 360 or PS3 gets doesn't spell doom and gloom. There will be lots of exclusive 3rd party games thanks to the GamePad. The Wii U will have at least a year or 2 head start on the 720 and who knows how long on the PS4. I don't foresee those being the generational leap in difference like we see between the 360/PS3/Wii - I can see it being a little more subtle like the GC/PS2/XBOX. I think in next gen both Microsoft and Sony are going to step back and say they need something that's not a graphic power house, but something to offer people a great way to play games.
In the end we will have to wait and see. Generally I've always bought a Nintendo system to play Nintendo games...not the others so much..they are just added bonuses and lessens the chance of having to own a 2nd console. Before Nintendo I bought all the Sega Consoles...because I wanted to play all the Sega games. Honestly can you say people buy the PS3 or 360 because they are die hard fans like Nintendo fans are? I never heard someone say they love Microsoft games....so I'm buying an xbox...face it...they don't have 1st party like Nintendo does. Give Nintendo even 1/3rd of the same 3rd party games and some exclusives...and they will do great. So far if the launch is any indicator...I think they will do just fine.

I hardly see people bash on BF or GTA it's mostly Call of Duty. And if people really think only Nintendo can save mature games that's ridiculous. Besides, those games are all pretty good, it's just that too many people want their sucess so they copy those type of games. Originality is lost in the industry. Consumers all play the same games.I agree with Hinkik, and actually don't mind his forward approach about it.
People carry more interest on the likes of GTA, Call of Duty, Battlefield and the like over things like Mario and Pokemon.
People also like having games they can just jump right into, and online games that nail that, nail the audience. Gamers are a competitive bunch, and without catering to that, a lot of games fall into the 'one time only' category.
This idea is heavily reflected in mobile gaming as well.
And can we please stop believing that Nintendo is the only saviour against these mature games. Can I at least hear a clap for the likes of Level-5, Namco Bandai, SEGA, Capcom, Atlus and Ubisoft, to name a few. Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright and Rayman Origins aren't exactly what I'd call gory or violent, and they're definitely not far from interesting either.

That was the point of my argument the oversaturation from shooters is making the gaming industry lost all originality that why i respect Nintendo for trying keep inmotivation in gaming as well as Namco, SEGA and Ubisolf as Auzzie said.Too many people want their sucess so they copy those type of games. Originality is lost in the industry. Consumers all play the same games.
