When I was a latchkey kid my parents would just hand us a wad of money and send us to the movie theater. They got some alone time and we got a neat experience and a couple hours entertainment. There was no way parents wanted to sit through kid's movies back then.
Now, kid's movies are made for parents as much as kids. This is in part because producers realised that the latchkey kid has been replaced by the helicopter parent who doesn't let their kid out of their sight. I've taken my son to Super Mario, Transformers One, Sonic 3 and Minecraft, and my missus wants us to take him to see How to Train Your Dragon (I put my foot down when she said Lilo and Stitch, fuck Disney the pedo tranny scum).
If you think Nintendo isn't making games for families like mine then I don't know what to tell you. Millions of parents like me will buy DK Bananza on release day to make our kids happy, like our parents did for us. The difference? This time the helicopter parent will be helping the kid learn how to play instead of setting up the SNES then closing the bedroom door so they can have some peace and quiet while they destroy their liver or chain smoke in front of the talmudvision.
It's not that you're wrong per se, it just comes across as dismissive, overly simplified, and denying obvious truths, including the big one: There is no such thing as a video game NOT for kids. Hentai waifu, ultra gore violence, heavy politic themes. It doesn't matter. Saying a game is made for adults is like a michelin chef taking a bag of potato chips and a bottle of mountain dew and trying to turn it into an award winning dish. It's just fucking sad. If you're embarrassed by the hobby, just go take up fly fishing or pipe smoking, Mr Maturity.
