I wouldn't consider a game rated "everyone" to be child-oriented at all. Just because a game has a cartoony art-style doesn't mean it's for children. I can only think of two GCN games I own that I would consider child-firendly. Animal Crossing and Pikmin. Both of those games are badass, reagrdless of their cartoony art-style. Not everything can be zombies and gore. Nintendo knows that, so they balance games like Resident Evil Zero and Eternal Darkness out with more colorful games like Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker.
Here's a list of great games for the GCN, and I wouldn't consider any of these kids games. They're either too difficult for a child to play, or they're just something that a child would not be interested in.
Super Mario Sunshine (too difficult for some adults I know)
Star Fox Adventures (too difficult for a child, a bit more geared towrd adults)
Metroid Prime (dark and violent)
Resident Evil (dark and really violent)
Resident Evil Zero (dark, violent and super hard)
Eternal Darkness (dark, violent and extremely cerebral)
Super Monkey Ball (terrifyingly difficult)
Super Monkey Ball 2 (furiously diffcult)
Extreme G-3 (quite difficult, dark and futuristic)
Skies Of Arcadia Legends (difficult RPG)
Summoner: A Goddess Reborn (dark, difficult RPG)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader (very difficult)
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (dark, violent and difficult)
Vexx (dark, violent and infuriatingly difficult)
And that's just the games I own. There are a ton of others that just simply aren't designed for children to play, or aren't accomodating to children. Don't mke such sweeping statements as "all Nintendo makes is kid's games." Statements like that aren't true in the slightest, and they don't do anything to make you look any more intelligent.
