Well, when you look in other artistic works, I'm sure more films in the past twenty years that have received Oscars for Best Picture have been R rated rather than G rated.  And Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns isn't considered to be one of the greatest graphic novels of all time because it kept the Adam West Batman level of maturity going for a whole new generation in the eighties.  The truth is that the more mature a work is, then the more emotions it is able to contain thus broadening its ability to be artistic.

I liked Earthbound.  Haven't played Mother 3.  I considered Earthbound the closest thing to a Robert Anton Wilson novel like Illuminatus! at the time I played it, but Nintendo refused to give us in the US an Earthbound Collection or Mother 3 in later years, and it seems they would rather spend money on titles like Mario Sports Jam or another Wii series game than trying to convince the creator of the Mother series to make a new game in it.

And the odds are that if he did, it wouldn't see the light of day outside of Japan in any form until a fan translation was done.

LOL Iwata funded Mother 3 with his own money, which was originally Earthbound 64 and was going to hit the states but HAL labs didn't feel like their 3D work was up to snuff for the quality of the series so they scrapped the project.  Mother 3 however released in Japan in 2006 2 years into the DS' lifespan on the GBA platform.  Factor in localization it would have been 2007 by the time the game hit the states and likely dead on arrival.  But the good thing is the fan translation is more true to the original text than your typical localization would be.

It's not so much the Mother series won't be brought here rather the timing and how slow Itoi seems to work always has his games coming out very late in the generation.

And that's funny Illuminatus... yeah it's nothing like that but do tell me how you feel it is?

And if you look at works considered to be top form decades later you will find a shocking lack of connection to R ratings. Mature themes don't need excessive violence, sex, or even cursing. Artistic vision has nothing to do with R/M ratings. Look at the range of emotions and themes in films like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, Edward Scissor Hands, or any other amazingly timeless classics.

Ugh... Citizen Kane is horrible.  I don't know why so many old people love that movie and think it is classic.  That movie is pure crap.

The GBA wasn't totally dead in 2007 because Final Fantasy VI was on there that year and still they could have made an Earthbound Collection for DS which probably would have sold as well as some of the other games when the retro rpg on DS movement was going on around 2008 to 2009.

Actually, they can't. The game is on extremely shakey legal ground in the US. It is very liberal with its copyright infringement by design, and this makes NoA's legal team nervous, and for good reason. Japan does not have nearly as strict of laws. As a result certain changes need to be made in order for the game to be able to be released in the retail market here. The creator flat out refuses to make, or allow those changes. As such the games will never be localized through the fault of the US legal system.

Yes.  People that gamed in the 80's had sex and their kids now have a Wii.  I don't understand your point, but I'll agree with this.

I know that the 36 year old virgin comment is directed at me so I will address it.  First off, I am actually 37.  For some reason I put in my correct birthday, but VGChartz makes me a year younger, not that I'm going to complain about it.  When you get a year, you don't question it and take it.  Secondly, I had an intense love making session with my lady last night.  As a matter of fact, she's posted in this thread.  Let's see if you can figure out she is and if you do, ask her if I'm telling the truth. 

I wasn't here yesterday because I was celebrating Father's Day with my dad and then hung out over at my lady's place for a while.  I was living in the past and then living in the moment.

Cheers!!!    

So, I guess no M games have been announced for Wii this year?
