If it's hard to put into words, that is a sign that it is probably a subjective thing. Someone might consider it kiddy, others see adult themes in it. But that's personal opinion. Another typical example would be the book 'Le Petit Prince' (The little Prince): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince It seems childish on the surface, but if you actually read, it contains adult themes about trust, love and friendship, that are way too much for a child.
On antoher note: The Japanese are the coolest people in the world. Looking into the Wikpedia-article for the little prince I saw they have a museum for the little prince. Yes! I have to visit Japan some time. |
The reality that it's hard to put into words proves a few things:
1) We don't talk about it enough, those of us interested in this kind of thing, within the gamer community.
2) I lack background in the study of art to really express my thoughts.
3) I should replay all of these games again to better judge.
@Le petit prince. Yes, I'm familiar with that, and yeah I see the resemblance with SMG though I"ve never read it completely. Thing is though, LPP doesn't have any music, and that's an important element in the topic. Graphical detail is another, but maybe Nintendo needs the WiiU to impress and put more detail in the already gorgeous 3D Mario. 2D Mario is looking promising with NSMBU, but still it looks like the direction is still lacking (though more data is needed).
