| Onyxmeth said: It's still misleading. Violence is violence and that includes both cartoon style and realistic. My cousins weren't allowed to play any videogames with noticable violence and I had to handpick them games that my Aunt would allow. Even most Nintendo games were out of that range. A game that doesn't rely on violence is a game like Katamari Damacy or Tetris, not Zelda and Metroid. When an article is written it should be more clear on what is meant by "violence" as it's a very vague term in gaming. Here's what the ESRB rating says for Nintendo's three big Wii games: Super Mario Galaxy-Rated E for Everyone The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess-Rated T for Teen Super Smash Bros. Brawl-Rated T for Teen I agree that the article was referring to extreme violence based on them bringing Nintendo and kiddy into the equation, but in any case, games like Zelda, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars and Metroid are still violent and are not meant for "everyone" as is stated. I also don't agree that Nintendo does it without resorting to sports. The highest selling Wii game is a sports game, and Mario has tried out Basketball, Golf, Tennis, Baseball, and Soccer going on almost ten years now.

Take in account all the Ninty games, not just this gen... since the beggining of the cartoons, cartoon violence means next to nothing vs realistic violence, like the old looney toons can now be viewed by everyone, most of the Nintendo games have Everyone content, or teen content in the "worst case scenario"...
Yes now there is sports related games, but none of them are the main feature, like Madden Fifa, Pes, etc... again just look at the game and you will see how most of them can be played without having a "sports/realistic violence" as the main feature of the game, orthe selling point of the game...
By me:
