Nintendo is trying to do for games what Osamu Tezuka did for manga.

I think both kinds can coexist, but games need to become more like Mario Galaxy, in that they can be enjoyed by almost anybody.

But, for comparison, Spider-Man comics used to be almost Archie-style, but now they're all deep and full of depression and moral ambiguity.

 

How is a deep storyline a bad thing?

When the storylines don't make sense... like making a deal with the devil to bring your aunt back to life at the expense of your hapiness....

despite the fact that your aunt is like 80 and doesn't have much of a natural lifespan anyway... and that since the devil is literally offering you a deal that implies there is a heaven too and your aunt being the nicest person in comics no doubt would be in that heaven anwyay...

So you end up making a deal that makes all 3 of you less happy just because the editor in chief has a problem with the marriage.

Or when you reveal your secret identity, only to have everyone forget... a month later... for no good reason.

 

Or when... Every month or two your wife forgets why your a superhero and acts really....

 

ah forget it.  Lets just say Spiderman is a mess... and has been for a long time.
