I am glad this has been brought up.
I am deeply appreciative Nintendo is still making games children can enjoy. Nintendo is the only major developer making those types of games which is why I believe they are so ridiculously successful software wise in sales this generation. There is no way on Earth I would allow my kids to play CoD, God of War, or even Halo. NSMB Wii is a type of game I would allow them to play, which by the way is an awesome family game where you can play together with your kids. We need more games like this - games that bring smiles to people's faces and light hearted. Not more ultra violent games with cursing and nudity with a badass protaginist. If companies were as half as smart they should divert more resources into those type of games when NSMB Wii is going to past 20 million in sales.
As for the perception of gaming as mature I don't see anything mature about playing a badass who violently kills. Those type of games carry a male teenage ethos. If you mentioned GTA, God of War or Halo as mature to any intelligent adult he would look at you like you lost your mind. I actually think it's funny some people take gaming so seriously. I also find it funny these so-called mature games takes itself so seriously trying to ape big Hollywood movies. A game is a game is a game.
