Nintendo - Adult Software Leader

What I meant was: Although you say that Mario, Zelda, ect are really adult games, not kids games but the movies track to child age groups primarily through whatever art direction. IE, your view of Pans Labrynth vs. 300. Despite your saying that one movie might feature more complex-oriented themes, its meant for adults. Why? The movie was marketed to, and it's primary audience, were children. Games of all formats are like that. Nintendo still gets most of it's sales from the younger generation, or older-gen throwback's that swear by Nintendo (atleast for their primary franchises). I think the distinction we need to make is "adult video games" and "adult software" as stated in the title. Is Brain age a true video game? Not really, despite it's platform. psudeo adult games would primarily be any game that's software and doesn't deal in adult themes to the least bit like Brain Training, Soduku puzzles, or various software of the type - typical software that most adults would buy, not children.

I absolutely agree that Zelda isn't a game for Adults, by the way. I specifically said it wasn't. 

Pan's Labrynth was seen primarily by adults, I'm quite sure.  First, it's rated R. Second, I went to see the movie twice, and there wasn't a single kid in the audience at EITHER showing.  Do you really believe that Pan's Labrynth was a kids movie? Do you have any evidence to support that claim? O_o

Brain Age is a true video game. There are two hurdles it must cross to meet this definition: 1) is it a game? 2) Is it displayed on a video screen? I assume we can agree that the answer is "yes" to both questions. If so, then yes, it's a video game.
