Dark Souls 1 being rated M and Dark Souls 2 being rated T has always baffled me they were pretty much the same.....

Ocarina of Time is G for Gives Little Children Nightmares.
Seriously who thought that game was OK for little children, definitely shouldn't ha e been a G or in the US E rating.

At least Majora's Mask is PG.. They didn't fuck up there!

Smash Bros brawl being rated teen.

Don't see why...Maybe because it had a darker atmosphere compared to the other games? Even then I thought it was still an e10+ game.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Since the European Union decreeted that gambling in videogames should be rated 13+, all older Pokemon games that have a casino are 13+ (or was it 12+?). No wonder Nintendo erased them after HG/SS.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

I think it was a little strange that Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies got a Mature rating.

Wha..? Because...murder? Blood?

Ace Attorney rating is a bit off but I see why they went for that

Ocarina of Time scared me, a lot. I mean, Shadow Temple and Bottom of the Well. C'mon, that was terrifying.

Windwaker for GameCube was rated E which makes sense. However the explanation in the boxart was simply "Violence."
Maybe they were being philosophical about how everyone is naturally violent?

Now that I think about it I feel like LittleBigPlanet series should be T. Sonic 06 could've had a T rating too.
