Honestly when I have kids of my own, i want them to play beautiful stories like tlou and other games like it so they can learn something from it. I won't feed them Nintendo games.

So you want to feed your kids with heavy stories, tension, blood and violence, instead of colorful, positive, very fun games without blood and violence!?

OK, then. :)

Dont feed the trolls xD

He's NOT trolling. He's proposing to raise his kids on thinkgs like Shakespeare, the Bible, and pre-Disneyfied folk tales. I approve!

Not sure if sarcastic or not xD but yeah.. i dont think so :/

There's nothing wrong with raising children on old and more sophisticated stories like Shakespeare, folk tales, and more contemporary fantasies like Tolkien or C S Lewis.  What I don't get is the idea perpetuated that it's one or the other:  seriousness or fun.  Why not both?  For me, that's what I like about Nintendo as a whole.  I can go from Kirby to Smash to Xenoblade to Fire Emblem.  And then I can go outside Nintendo to other games like Skyrim, BioShock Infinite, Shogun 2 Total War.  There's no need to limit a child's experience to only "serious" stuff.  There's value in relaxing - and yes, even silly - fun.
