Personal preference is fine, and having an aesthetic or mechanical preference based on ESRB rating (of all things) is completely acceptable. You are, of course, completely allowed to like wha you like.

But this preoccupation that you have with grown-upness, this insistence that adults who play games "meant for kids" are somehow aberrant (as a guy who sells games I can tell you it's not the case) and that a man out to be a man and put away his Mario? I'm not going to lie, it has this sort of weird, Peter Pand the Lost Boys vibe to it. It's like yeah, let's beat up some Indians and make war! Wait, what?

You still haven't defined what an "adult" game is, what a "mature" game is, and now you've committed the unspeakable sin of adding "rich" to your vernacular without a clear explanation of what that's supposed to be. Again, I am asking you, in the interest of trying to sound like a Grown Up®, to clearly outline what you mean when you use these terms. I'm not asking you to justify your Grown Up® fixation; I am simply asking for you to define it.

I don't think there is a defination for the term "adult" game in video games, when, in general, video games are defined as toys. It's our experiences that truly seperate our classification of what is child-like and what is adult. Some people just think that in order for a video game to be considered adult things have to die with blood and gore attached to it. In Mario games, things die all the time, he should essentially be called a murderer, except the blood and gore isn't there for people to link it to their defination of "adult." Same for Zelda, Metriod, etc etc, there's a lot of things within Nintendo franchises that could be considered "adult."

Possibly a bad reference for this, but the Harry Potter series seems to fit this quite well. It was originally targeted for younger audiences, but gradually, it grew into a book that everyone, regardless of age, enjoyed. That's somewhat what Nintendo is and how their games operate in most cases. It's simple but it works for them. It's more of a case of either you like it or you don't, if you're not already interested in Nintendo consoles, I doubt anything they do will change that fact.

Well, I really just wanted to express my thoughts on it. I wasn't really targeting anybody, this quote just seemed simple enough to manage :)

That's a perfectly reasonable stance to take, I think.

You should upload an avatar, though, for a second I thought you were EdHieron replying to me twice in a row
