No. It's boring.

Most people don't take it seriously, but it's still dull. There are funny taunts. The one mentioned above is not.

Those of us who aren't mental ten year olds shouldn't have to put up with those who are.

Then you could use the non chat option. WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH HAVING AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRASH TALK?  HOW ARE OPTIONS BAD? It gets you more in the game when someone says how much you suck and you want to prove them wrong. You don't have to be mentally ten years old to want to trash talk. Mature adults like myself do it too to let loose and be immature as a hobby, we do not act the same way in real life.

Besides, there is no set maturity level for ten years old. I was more mature at ten years old then most of my teachers at school. They were immature and petty.

Not all kids/parents would know how to turn chat off, so you'd inevitably end up with kids being exposed to racist, sexist, homophobic filth. Nintendo have their image to consider.

If you wanna trash talk, do it with people on your friends list.

So you're saying because some people are too dumb to use parental control options we should be limited? Horrible arguement.

"Hey, I don't know how to keep my kids off bad websites so the internet shouldn't exist" That's just as stupid as the argument you're presenting.

Take a chill pill and use some logic; Nintendo is a family-oriented company with a clean image to maintain. The last thing they need is one of their games becoming a vehicle for immature potty mouths to scream racial slurs at children.

Are u kidding us?¿?

It all makes sense now 0.0

Fuck their image, they'd make more money catering to both. Besides, us nintendo kids have grown up. They need to make an M rated zelda and mario. We've grown up, they need to grow with us.

Being M rated does not make something "grown up".
