| Samus Aran said: A kid in 1994 was much more likely to buy Super Mario World than Super Metroid. I've seen plenty of young kids play my games at family events and what not, I don't think I'm underestimating anyone. Metroid Prime 3 can be completed by most kids yes, it's a casualized Metroid game. I thought we moved past the stereotypes that only kids play Nintendo games. Some games have older demographics than others, that's just how it is. Oh and most people never finish the games they buy, food for thought. |
This isn't about what a kid is more likely to buy it's your claim that it's too advance for a kid, most adults back in 94 were more likely to buy Super Mario World then Super Metroid as the latter is niche, here is a 5 old by the way:

Kids can learn to play anything and the reason a number of people are Metroid fans is likely because they played the games when they were younger, this about stereotypes or any nonsense like that as many fans back then were young as the market was essentially rebooted into what it is today. I've seen my nephew play Super Metroid and Fusion and he's 10.
