You think Super Mario is superior to angry birds? I am not defending Angry birds, but Super Mario is just as simple.

And don´t tell me you don´t think it is funny when a grown up plays 3DS. This is a toy, just like an action figure, and if you look at the games line up most of the titles are suited for kids. Super Mario, Kid Icarus, Mario cart, Nintendogs and many more.


He also could have been playing Tales of the Abyss, Zelda Oot, Metal Gear 3D, Re Revelations ect. Even if those games were just as simple as angry birds, then that would make them equal. So why the stigma for one, and not the other? Because society says so, which is flawed. If I saw a grown man playing a 3DS I would think he was awesome. I would think he was a gamer like me and we might be able to have a nice little conversation about gaming :D. The Toy aspect doesn't really play that much into it anymore considering how young kids are getting phones these days.

First of all MGS and Zelda where not developed for the 3DS they where just remade, and I agree that those games are far more complex then Doodle Jump Angry Birds and others. And you don´t need to blame the society you need to blame Nintendo. They are aiming for a younger audience with this device, just look at the comercials. Just compare them with the Vita commercials and you will know what I mean.

 

I hope you don´t misunderstand me. I have played DS, I still do (Pokémon, The Legend of Zeld), and I will buy a 3DS for my sister as a birthday gift. But it is still a toy imo, a very expensive toy.

I see what you are saying. Though I still think society is partially to blame. But I suppose that comes from my own unrelated thoughts about society.

And I'm not misunderstanding you, It's fine we just feel differently about it, no worries :p
