They've got that one game that's rated Other M.

Does that count?

Well, I want a new Eternal Darkness myself, that is already an M-Rated franchise.

Damn it you got to it first.

An M rated MArio though would be..... interresting...



I LOVE ICELAND!

I just want them to make games, if one warrants a higher rating is whatever, making a game M rated for the sake of it sounds dumb.

But some games like Metroid or Zelda would fit well into that rating if done that way, at least I think so.

Metroid Prime has you bloodily dispatching grotesque alien monsters, and Zelda has had many shockingly violent moments:

Yes they have those moments, but again, pursuing a M rated game for the sake of it is not a good idea, flesh out whatever you want to do and if that warrants it a higher rating, well there you go. Is not something they should force.

I couldn't disagree with your thesis more. Nintendo does not make games for kids. They make games for people who enjoy fun experiences. Nintendo has always been very successful at getting adults and children alike to love their games.

in response to your question...I don't think any game needs to be M, period. There are tasteful ways to achieve a T rating and still convey the same story, message, and gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there shouldn't be M rated games, but I don't think they are necessary...particularly from Nintendo.

Eh, i disagree. I don't think an M rating should be explicitly targeted, but sometimes 'tasteful' isn't enough. Half the fun of Django Unchained (a movie yes, but it applies to the story/message part of the discussion) is how it revels in its own violent absurdity. That quality is a big part of why people like Tarantino in general :p

There are two types of people who like Tarantino movies: those who like the dialogue and absurdity...and those who just like seeing people get scalped.  I hope you're in the first category.  Unfortunately when you sell a product primarily to kids the kids will want to watch (or play) someone getting scalped (or doing the scalping) for no other reason than that it is "cool."

The scalping is part of the absurdity though
