Do Nintendo Gamers count as Gamers?
So I had a fun little gaming conversation comparing exclusives of the major console exclusives, the pros and cons, and what kind of games each company does best, and somebody tried to argue that Nintendo Gamers are like 'mobile gamers'(edit: as in cell phones, not handhelds like ds or vita), they don't really count.
His argument pertained party games and common exclusives that Nintendo come out with aren't really proper games, Smash Brothers was for children and Legend of Zelda is nothing but a nostalgia series at this point. Didn't really give an opinion on Metroid, he just scoffed.
What're your opinions personally?
Edit: I'm glad to see a good degree of people responding logically realizing that, in my opinion, the term gamer is a rather inclusive term itself.

They absolutely are gamers. People underestimate Nintendo because they rehash their games/series. Just because Nintendo isn't as competitive today as they were against Sony or Sega doesn't mean they aren't a viable company. The fact is Nintendo, in my opinion, know their fans and what the fans like. So why change to appease everyone else? Also, Nintendo is more geared towards a Japanese audience, unlike Sony, who is also Japanese, who is more focused on a global market. Is it bad? Maybe, but it does give them an identity and shows that they're committed to their games and fans. Honestly if someone says Nintendo gamers aren't gamers I'd brand them as ignorant. Where would video games be today without Nintendo's influence? Sure that was in the past, but it helped shape gaming into what it is today.
