Honestly, I heavily disagree, Nintendo games are really no less expensive then rival consoles, PC games, and their Eshop occasionally has discount sales, their MyNintendo service also offers discounts, and actually they do have quite a few games $20, or less. I got alot of my Nintendo games quite cheap actually.
Not to mention, their yearly online subscription is honestly cheaper then Netflix.
As for Nintendo games looking like "children's games," that's quite ironic, (especially coming from an MLP site) because while some games like Legend of Zelda, or "EarthBound" may look childish, they have some rather mature, and dark themes in them. Even cutesy games like Kirby, or Paper Mario have some rather dark things.
When it comes to graphics, I got kinda sick of realistic graphics, or gritty "brown is real" games, as that's all you see in most games, so I don't mind cartoonier games, or ones with different art styles like Zelda.
Not saying I hate realistic games, but I'll take expressionism over realism any day.
While games like Super Mario may not be huge on story, or Oscar-worthy cinematic scenes, they still have an ageless, quirky, and cheerful appeal to them, and frankly I found Super Mario Galaxy's ending sequence more epic, then most games with 40 hours of unskippable cinematic scenes you have to sit through.
In fact, honestly there do exist games with good story, but boring gameplay, and I'd rather play a good game, then a quicktime "movie."
Maybe I do like Nintendo partially on nostalgia, (NES "Duck Hunt" was the first video game I ever played as a kid) but I like & prefer them for other reasons too, and I'm sure your tastes in games is partially influenced on your own nostalgia too.
