Nintendo UK has just launched Nintendo Girls Club, which in my own personal opinion is an aboslute outrage to the gaming community. Nintendo Girls Club is a new YouTube channel launched by Nintendo UK in an apparent attempt to promote games developed for girls. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is just one of many games used as an example of what is considered to be for girls. Many people, including myself, have described Nintendo Girls Club as being hypocritical and almost obviously sexist. Until I see a Call of Duty game be promoted on the channel, I shall most definitely not be in support of it.

I don't support this club, either.
I cringed while watching this trailer because frankly, this Girl's Club is an embarrassment.

Did you people even look at the games on their channel? Luigi's Mansion 2? Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask? It's not just the typical games you expect girls to play.
Besides, what's so bad about them promoting games that they think girls would like? Animal Crossing IS a game that is played by more females. http://www.animalcrossingnewleaf.co.uk/2013/05/animal-crossing-new-leaf-demographics.html
Just because they don't advertise the games you like doesn't mean they will in the future.
I think you all are looking way too far into this than you should. I'm pretty sure that it's just something to entertain the people who are into these types of games.

Yes, but why group it as just being "girls" who like these games? Why couldn't it have just been called something else instead? Oh yes, because all girls are going to adore Luigi's Mansion 2, Professor Layton, etc etc. Some girls DO like those games, yes, some girls don't, some don't even like games at all. It's ridiculous what they're doing. Why can't someone just be able to play a game and enjoy it without all of the sexism in between? If a girl wants to play an FPS, she should be allowed to and be able to enjoy it without being called a fake gamer girl (which is just ridiculous in itself), and if a boy enjoys these "girly" games (which aren't even "girly" at all considering I'd say loads of Nintendo games appeal to both genders and all age groups), then he should be allowed to. No girl club. No boy club. Nothing.

*sigh* Guys most gamers are GUYS, They are just suggesting game titles..And the ones that would be most applying to girls. Yes of course it's not all true... But it's more of a marketing thing if you think about it, really. So they can sell more 2ds's 3d's wii U's. So you gotta be thinking like that, 
I saw a few Wii U games in the channel trailer. I think this exists because Nintendo is basically desperate for Wii U sales and they are willing to get it any way they can. I really do support this, it doesn't seem sexist. They are just trying to promote titles that they think will suit a female audience, and they do look like titles that will. They aren't trying to convey that they are girls games, but games the average girl would enjoy.
On a side note, COD isn't something I think the average girl would enjoy, unless they are a bit rough (they aren't that girly, but aren't a tom boy either) or a tom boy. I have a sister and she plays COD with her boyfriend, but I believe it is only because it is her boyfreind and then again, she is a bit rough.
Also, I know a few girls in my school who have consoles, and guess what they are? Nintendo 3DSs! Guess what they play on them? Gentle, but action/strategy based stuff like platformers and such. Guess what most of the boys I know play? Stuff like COD and Assassins Creed.
In addition, I notice that a lot of girls play tablet games because of their simplicity and pick up and play style. Nintendo makes a lot of games like that whereas the other two don't (except for PC). If they play their cards right, they might even be able to pull in a whole new audience. I hope they bring this to USA.
I'm not saying that all of one gender has the same preference with video games since we all are different and our own people, but you can't say that gender can't influence a person's personal preference, especially with video games.
Also, I would love a boys club, just so people would stop complaining about the girl's club. In addition, I'm curious of what it could be. Infact.....

Thank you! At least someone gets what I'm saying.
I think I might go at it myself! Note, this is only a parody of how people are viewing the girls club.

I don't see the point of it. Unless they make a Nintendo boys club.
