Miyamoto doesn't like Haze's drug focus.

However, a game that has an E rating can appeal to adults too. For example: Wii Sports, Viva Pinata, and Mario. These are games that anyone can play, and that's what Miyamoto appreciates. He wants games that appeal to adults and children, not one or the other exclussively, and I believe in this respect he has been largely successful. If anyone really thinks Mario Galaxy is just a kids game, I pity them.

While M rated games do appeal exclusively to older players, not all E or T rated games appeal to a younger audience.

For example Zelda or Metroid would probably not appeal to younger players because they are too complex in puzzles and whatnot for kids to figure out.

This was a problem for a game like Viva Pinata which was supposed to be for kids but it has seriously so much going on at a time that there is no way a kid can play that and not have their head explode :)

M rated games appeal exclusively to older players?  The guy who seems most pumped about Mature games is Leo-j who is apparently younger then 15.   That's about the age M stuff appealed the most to me as well.

Mature games can appeal to older players, but honestly are going to appeal the most to the younger teen demographic.

So true. Not to generalize, but kids at this impressionable age want to play what they think the big boys are playing. They are too cool to play kiddie games with bright colors and characters that don't bleed.
